Elektra

Elektra Natchios est un personnage fictif apparaissant dans les comics américains publiés par Marvel Comics. Créé par Frank Miller, le personnage apparaît pour la première fois dans Daredevil #168 (janvier 1981). Elle est l'intérêt amoureux du super-héros Daredevil, mais sa nature violente et son mode de vie mercenaire les opposent.

Ce personnage est une assassin hautement entraînée d'origine grecque, qui manie une paire de sais tranchants comme armes emblématiques. Elektra fait partie des créations les plus connues de Frank Miller, mais l'utilisation qu'en ont faite les scénaristes suivants est controversée, car Marvel avait initialement promis de ne pas faire revivre le personnage sans l'accord de Miller. Elle est également apparue comme personnage secondaire de Wolverine dans les X-Men, ainsi que dans d'autres séries et mini-séries, et dans des adaptations à l'écran.

Dans le film Daredevil de 2003 et son spin-off de 2005, Elektra, le personnage est interprété par Jennifer Garner. Élodie Yung incarne le personnage dans la deuxième saison de Daredevil de Marvel et dans The Defenders (2017) pour l'univers cinématographique Marvel.

Aptitudes : 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.
