Elektra Natchios, usually referred to only by her first name Elektra, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Elektra is a kunoichi – female ninja assassin – of Greek descent. She wields a pair of bladed sai as her trademark weapon. Created by Frank Miller, Elektra 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. She is one of Frank Miller's most well-known creations, but subsequent writers' use of her is controversial as Marvel had originally promised to not resurrect the character without Miller's permission. 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 spinoff, ''Elektra'', the character is portrayed by Jennifer Garner. Elektra was ranked 22nd in ''Comics Buyer's Guide's'' 100 Sexiest Women in Comics list. Miller initially based the character's appearance on Lisa Lyon, a female bodybuilder.〔Sanderson, Peter. "The Frank Miller/Klaus Janson Interview," ''Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson'' vol. 2, p. 305.〕 The character will appear in the second season of ''Marvel's Daredevil'', portrayed by Élodie Yung. The season is set to premiere on Netflix in 2016. ==Publication history== Created by Frank Miller, Elektra first appeared in ''Daredevil'' #168 (January 1981). Miller originally intended this issue, which was essentially a filler story, to be Elektra's only appearance, but she instead became a frequently appearing villain in ''Daredevil'' until her death in issue #181 (April 1982). She was resurrected shortly after, but the story contained a narrative note which indicated that Daredevil would never encounter her again.〔''Daredevil'' #190 (January 1983).〕 After over a decade's absence, she reappeared in ''Daredevil'' #324-327 (January–April 1994), and went on to a brief stint as a supporting character in ''Wolverine'' (in #100-106). ''Daredevil'' writer D. G. Chichester recounted that he and editor Ralph Macchio had bandied about the idea (bringing back Elektra ) in a casual fashion now and again, but neither of us wanted to do it as a gimmick. On the rare occasion I thought I had a legitimate angle to use her, Ralph was cool to the idea. But as we geared up for what would become Fall From Grace, Ralph out of the blue said, "What about bringing back Elektra?" -- and it was really the missing piece that clicked together all the loose pieces of the story in my head, and became the nexus for everything tying together as well as it did. In my mind, it's always been her to whom the title refers.〔Mithra, Kuljit (February 1998). (Interview with D. G. Chichester ), manwithoutfear.com.〕This upset Frank Miller, who claimed that Marvel had previously promised him that the character would not be used in any publication. She has since appeared in two eponymous ongoing series and several mini-series. Elektra appears in the 2012 ''Thunderbolts'' series by Daniel Way and Steve Dillon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elektra (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
