History
Origins[]
The early life of Elektra Natchios of largely mirrors that of her Earth-616 counterpart.
Elektra Natchios was a student of the ninja master known as Stick. Her education as a warrior was completed when she became a member of the group of ninja assassins called the Hand. While in college, Elektra met Matt Murdock, who eventually became the vigilante hero Daredevil. Matt fell in love with Elektra, but the two eventually went their separate ways.[1]
They were reunited when Elektra, now a professional killer, was hired by Kingpin to murder Matt's partner Foggy Nelson. Matt managed to awaken the love the two had once shared, and Elektra was unable to kill Nelson. As punishment for failing her mission, Kingpin hired Bullseye to assassinate her. Elektra had briefly replaced Bullseye as the Kingpin's chief assassin, leading the deranged killer to develop an obsession with killing her.[1]
Bullseye seemingly succeeded in murdering Elektra, but using her Hand training, she had thrown her soul into the body of an innocent dancer, who had witnessed the murder. Elektra dwelt in this stolen body for some time, until her original body was resurrected by the Hand. A year after the resurrection of her body, she reversed the effects of the soul-swap, restoring her original body. She returned to Matt, but the two would soon become the objects of Bullseye's mania once again.[1]
After years of fighting and trying to avoid their enemies, both Matt and Elektra grew tired of being constant tragets. She taught Matt the soul-swap technique she had learned from the Hand, and Matt used it to swap bodies with Bullseye, before the pair killed him, making it appear as if Daredevil had died. With their greatest foe gone, the two left their old lives behind and lived in peace. At some point, the two lovers died and found themselves in the Realm of the Dead. There they would live out their afterlives in constant combat with other superhumans.[1]
Paradise X[]
When Mar-Vell managed to kill Death and create his Paradise, Elektra was offered the opportunity to leave the Realm of Death behind. Elektra, however, refused and chose to live her afterlife as one of the Kingpin's assassins, alongside Bullseye.[1]
When Daredevil became aware that Wilson Fisk had rejected Paradise so that he may return to the Realm of the Dead to lord over the deceased residing in the Realm's analog for New York City, Daredevil decided to deal with the problem personally. He attacked Fisk in a representation of his old office tower, bringing him into conflict with Bullseye and Elektra. After defeating them, Matt told her that she did not need to be afraid anymore, and that it was time to go.[2]Attributes
