Elektra

Elektra Natchios ist eine fiktive Figur aus amerikanischen Comics von Marvel Comics. Die von Frank Miller geschaffene Figur trat erstmals in Daredevil #168 (Januar 1981) auf. Sie ist die Liebesinteressen des Superhelden Daredevil, doch ihre gewalttätige Natur und ihr Söldnerleben entzweien die beiden.

Die Figur ist eine hochtrainierte Attentäterin griechischer Abstammung, die als Markenzeichen ein Paar scharfer Sai führt. Elektra gehört zu Frank Millers bekanntesten Schöpfungen, doch die Verwendung der Figur durch spätere Autoren ist umstritten, da Marvel ursprünglich zugesichert hatte, die Figur nicht ohne Millers Zustimmung wiederzubeleben. Sie ist außerdem als Nebenfigur in Wolverine und den X-Men sowie in anderen Serien und Miniserien aufgetreten und in Bearbeitungen für Film und Fernsehen zu sehen.

Im Film Daredevil von 2003 und dessen Spin-off Elektra aus dem Jahr 2005 wird die Figur von Jennifer Garner verkörpert. Élodie Yung spielt die Figur in der zweiten Staffel von Marvels Daredevil und in The Defenders (2017) für das Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Fähigkeiten : Elektra's primary abilities are a strong knowledge of martial arts and weaponry. Elektra learned ancient martial arts of China, Siam, and Japan. She is a master combatant with the Okinawan sai, her usual weapon of choice. She is also highly skilled with the katana, daggers, three-section staff, and shuriken. She is a master of many Japanese combat forms including Ninjutsu, Aikido and Karate.[47] Elektra is an Olympic-level athlete, strong in gymnastics and swimming, with a high level in athleticism, human strength, speed, stamina, agility, dexterity, reflexes and reactions, coordination, balance, and endurance. She is resistant to pain and extreme heat and cold. She is also able to keep to the shadows and move with such speed that she can remain unseen even in daylight. Elektra has the ability to mesmerize others, and as such make them see illusions or other phenomena. Elektra also has the ability to "throw" her mind into those of others. For instance, she was able to track down her enemy, Ken Wind, by temporarily "borrowing" people's minds and acting through them while she hunted around for her prey. This temporary mind control enables her to metaphorically sniff out the psyche, or intent, of her targets. It saw extensive use during Elektra: Assassin, in which she was heavily reliant on only her ninja powers. Elektra has demonstrated low-level telepathy. She can communicate telepathically with individuals possessing similar levels of mental discipline, such as the Chaste. Elektra mastered this ability during training with The Hand, which mentally links her to The Beast, the demigod of The Hand.
