ELEKTRA (character)

Elektra Natchios is a character appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Frank Miller, the character first appeared in Daredevil #168 in 1981. She is a love interest of the superhero Daredevil, but her violent nature and mercenary lifestyle divide the two. Elektra is one of Frank Miller's best-known creations, but subsequent writers' use of her is controversial as Marvel had originally promised to refrain from reviving the character without Miller's permission. In the 2003 film Daredevil and its 2005 spin-off, Elektra, the character is portrayed by Jennifer Garner. Elodie Yung portrayed the character in the second season of Marvel's Daredevil and The Defenders.
