History[]
Her Past[]
Elektra Natchios was known as orphan, her mother give her a necklace with a Braille inscription after her mother died.
Daredevil (2003)[]
Elektra meets Matt, the daughter of Nikolas Natchios, a Greek diplomat who was killed by the assassin Bullseye, who accused the vigilante Daredevil for his death, despite his attempts to save him. Elektra trains herself in karate and holds sai, which she will use to kill Daredevil.
Elektra finally faced the vigilante, she pierced him with her shoulder, but before she killed him, she wondered who she would actually killing him. She exposed him and was surprised to find Matt Murdock. Elektra learned that it was Bullseye who murdered her father.
However, she met Bullseye, but Bullseye defeated her in battle: he cut off half of her throat and stabbed her into the stomach. When Bullseye leaves, she can bid farewell to Daredevil before dying in his arms.
Elektra (2005)[]
After Elektra's death in the previous film, an old man named Stick resurrected her and trained her martial arts (the ability to control time, future and life and death) in Kimagure's way. This is The Hand's benevolent dichotomy. After being expelled from Stick's school, for her heart of anger and hateful life lessons, Elektra became a hired assassin.
However, Elektra soon meet a father and his daughter Abby. She found that the two men were caught by their hands. Elektra protected Abby and her father with the help of Stick and his assistant. Abby was later revealed as a great warrior called a treasure: a powerful weapon that boosts the power of the hand. Elektra and Hand's leader made a final showdown. When Elektra wins, Abby will be free; if the leader of the Hand wins, then Abby will belong.
In the battle, Elektra was almost beaten, which then realized that the Hand leader was the mother's killer, Elektra used one of her sais to stab his heart and then turned him into the well of his disintegration. Elektra revived the Abby Stick's resurrected Elektra in the same way.
Deadpool & Wolverine[]
Elektra and Daredevil were pruned from the Sacred Timeline by the TVA, leaving them exiled in the Void; they allied with other pruned heroes, such as Blade, Gambit, Laura, the Human Torch, Magneto, and others, so to avoid being consumed by Alioth or captured and killed by Cassandra Nova, who led her own faction of pruned supervillains.
Eventually, only Elektra, Blade, Gambit, and Laura were left, as the others had been devoured by Alioth or murdered by Nova. Laura found Deadpool and Wolverine after they had fought long enough to pass out from exhaustion, and she took them to their base. Deadpool was able to rally the Legacy heroes into helping them make Nova send them home to his universe; Elektra wasn't afraid of death, however, she desired a worthwhile ending, something that she felt was denied to her by being banished.
The Legacies battle the supervillain crew, while Deadpool and Wolverine confront Nova. Through an act of compassion and appeal to reason from Wolverine, Nova agreed to create a portal for them to get home; although, they needed to race to get through the magic gate before Alioth crashed down on everyone.
It was presumed that Elektra survived, and like the other Legacies, was rescued from the Void by the reformed TVA.

Garner explained, "The red would never have worked for hiding a harness, and I know this sounds ridiculous, but you have to protect your skin a little bit.
