The origin of Superheroes: Elektra

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektra_(comics)

Elektra Natchios (UK: /ˈnætʃiɒs/, US: /-oʊs/) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Frank Miller, the character first appeared in Daredevil #168 (January 1981). She is a love interest of the superhero Daredevil, but her violent nature and mercenary lifestyle divide the two.

The character is a highly trained assassin of Greek descent who wields a pair of bladed sai as her trademark weapons. 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.[2] She has also appeared as a supporting character of the X-Men's Wolverine and in other series and mini-series, as well as adaptations for the screen.

In the 2003 film Daredevil and its 2005 spin-off, Elektra, the character is portrayed by Jennifer Garner. Élodie Yung portrays the character in the second season of Marvel's Daredevil[3] and The Defenders (2017) for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[4]

1. I love Elektra--right behind Thor in my hierarchy.

I was able to get Miller to sign my Daredevil 168 last year. He's an ass. I thought about pushing his buttons about the new Elektra, but he just grunted when I gave him the comic (something about her being fun to write) and then I was shushed away. A little disappointing given that only 150 passes were given for the signing.

Jennifer Garner's Elektra was a god-damned abomination.

Elodie Yung on the other hand--awesome. I'm not a pay for autograph's person at comic cons (I would rather use that money to get an artist I like to do something on a blank variant), but I paid the $35 to have Yung sign my #1 of the newest Elektra at the time. She was really cool to meet. And frickin' beautiful, too.
