Elektra Natchios, the daughter of a Greek ambassador, studied the
martial arts as an adolescent. While in the US with her father, she
began studies in political science at New York's Columbia University.
There she met another student, Matthew Murdock. Murdock revealed to her
that he had superhuman senses that compensated for his blindness, and
they fell in love. A year later, Elektra and her father were held
hostage by terrorists in a building on campus, and during the terrible
event, Elektra's father was mistaken for one of the terrorists and
killed. Emotionally shattered, Elektra decided she no longer believed
in the law and wanted to withdraw from the world. She left America and
Murdock.
After studying martial arts in Japan, Elektra spent
years as a bounty hunter and assassin for hire. While working in New
York City, she crossed paths with Daredevil, whom she discovered was
her lost love Matt Murdock. Daredevil vehemently opposed her
activities, but the two still cared deeply for one another. Together,
they fought the Hand, a secret order of ninjas devoted to assassination
and domination through fear, but when Elektra was hired by
Kingpin-of-Crime Wilson Fisk, she was forced to fight against
Daredevil. Fisk ordered her to kill Matt's best friend and law partner,
Franklin "Foggy" Nelson, but she could not go through with the
assassination when Foggy recognized her as "Matt's girl, Elektra." Soon
afterwards, she fought and was killed by the Kingpin's former chief
assassin, Bullseye, who sought to reclaim his former position with the
Kingpin. Elektra died in Matt Murdock's arms, seeming lost forever.
Elektra
was resurrected by Stone, a member of Stick's order and once again
became a hired assassin. She and Murdock have crossed paths numerous
times since, Elektra helping him in times of great need, but they have
not rekindled their love as Murdock is now married.
