Elektra’s Character Growth & Bad Girl Persona Make Her The Better Daredevil, According To Erica Schultz

Hell’s Kitchen Is Safer Under Elektra’s Watch

Elektra was created byiconic temerarious author , Frank Miller , and insert in 1981 inDaredevil#168 . Elektra was originally intended to be a femme fatale answer to Matt Murdock , andSchultz believe that is exactly what make Elektra the honest of the two daredevil :

Everyone loves the bad girl , and Elektra is the ultimate bad girl . She ’s sexy and unapologetic , and she can kill you with a glance . She ’s had so many experiences throughout her life-time ( and many lives , if you count all the times she ’s died ! ) that helps inform who she is . But like all people , she ’s perpetually develop and learning novel facet of herself .

Elektra ’s history adds complicated stratum to the character . Her experience , as noted by Schultz , have led to tremendous outgrowth and development that continues into Elektra ’s current laughable storyline . After all , Matt Murdock is still learning fresh things about himself well after sixty years of publishing account .

Elektra is long overdue for her own on-going solo serial , as she has test over the last several twelvemonth that she is a logical A - tilt Marvel hero .

Elektra ’s story is covered with the blood of her foe . Her past tense as an assassinand association with the Hand are in stark line to her current sprightliness as a hero . Schultz believes that Elektra ’s past tense is what tone up her and makes her the good Daredevil .

If you told her 20 years ago that she ’d be a full on hero , she may have jab you for lie in to her , but look at her now ! Just in the past few years , she ’s been Queen of the Fist , the use model of a teenage ward , and paired up with another unbelievable Marvel heroine , Wolverine ! So , yeah … she can do anything she puts her intellect to .

Matt & Elektra Have Both Earned Their Place As Top Marvel Heroes, But Schultz Gives The Advantage To Elektra

Elektra Has Qualities Murdoch Lacks

In terms of a fight , Elektra and Matt have fought many times . It may be a slight victory , but I ’d give it to Elektra every time .

While Elektra may be more fain towards uttermost fighting tactics , Matt has the advantage of his enhanced sense – include his radar power – at his disposal .

As Schultz observe , Matt and Elektra have fought many time before , but the outcome could be define by the tiniest of margins . Elektra has move up against many skilled foes , including Black Widow , the Silver Samurai , and The Hand themselves . Similarly , Matt has faced some ofMarvel Comics ’ deadliest villainsand hold up to tell the narrative . But even Matt had admitted that if someone could bewilder Elektra , then he does n’t fend a hazard , illustrating that he knows where he stands when it comes to the ranking of Marvel’sDaredevils .
