She is able to shield her mind from others. [56] Elektra Natchios is a Marvel comics character, created by Frank Miller, appearing during the writers highly acclaimed Daredevil run.

Her first full appearance was in Daredevil #168 released in 1981, although her first cover appearance was four months earlier in The Comics Journal #58 (September 1980).
