Elektra Natchios (UK: , US: ; Greek: Ηλέκτρα Νάτσιος) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Frank Miller, the character first appeared in Daredevil #168 (cover-dated Jan. 1981). Initially created as a supporting character for the superhero Matt Murdock / Daredevil, Elektra has functioned as his villainous adversary, love interest, and eventual heroic ally. Her violent nature and mercenary lifestyle have served as a divisive point of conflict between them, culminating in her becoming the second Daredevil in 2020. One of Frank Miller's best-known creations, she was killed by Bullseye at the conclusion of her first story arc in 1982, though she was later resurrected and became a regularly appearing character, headlining three ongoing series.

    In the ultimate battle between good and evil stands a warrior who makes the choice that tips the balance. A strong, mysterious and a deadly sexy action heroine - a lethal synthesis of grace and power. Not long after recovering from seemingly mortal wounds, Elektra has severed all ties with the world, living only for her next assignment. But in an unexpected turn of events, she is forced to make a decision that can take her life in a new direction - or destroy her. Key players in Elektra's journey are Stick, a blind martial arts master responsible for Elektra's "resurrection," and Mark Miller and Abby Miller, a father and daughter on the run from The Hand, a powerful syndicate whose members practice the dark version of the martial art Kimagure.
