Elektra

## Powers & Abilities

* **Resurrection:** Elektra was resurrected by the Hand giving her a connection to the demon known as the Beast. This process gave her various enhanced abilities.
	+ **Assassins Instinct:** Nick Fury can attest to the usage of this eerie mind control in person. In the 90s, he conducted scientific experiments on the captured assassin and found strange morphology in her brain that explained her phenomenal reflexes, yet sane rationale. Elektra moves with heightened primal instincts but the more evolved parts of her brain remain intact, preserving her intelligence. In other words, she thinks like a woman and strikes like a cobra.
	+ **Mind Switch:** Elektra's strangest gift is her ability to "throw" her mind into those of others. For instance, she was able to track down her enemy, Ken Wind, by temporarily "borrowing" people's minds and acting through them while she hunted around for her prey.
		- ***Discern Target:*** This temporary mind control enables her to literally sniff out the psyche, or intent, of her targets. It saw extensive use during Elektra: Assassin, in which she was heavily reliant on only her ninja powers. It is unknown how long the effect lasts, but Elektra has gone a full two days or more in another person's mind while they zoned out in hers.
		- ***Discern Location:*** This "mind jump" ability might explain why Elektra is always a step ahead of her competition or seems to know where her target is at all times. An extreme example would be the time she murdered an ambassador in South America. The man was sitting against the wall when Elektra sought out his mind and trusted her katana to enter his heart in the perfect spot. Unerringly, it did: the sword pierced through thick walling and the politician was slain where he sat. The unusual addition of her telepathic skills make Elektra an accomplished assassin to say the least.
	+ **Hypnosis:** Elektra has demonstrated the ability to mesmerize others, and as such make them see illusions or other phenomena.
	+ **Heightened Awareness:** Demonstrated the ability to detect a threat to her well-being in the immediate vicinity before they commit the action.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Elektra has demonstrated telekinetic abilities.
	+ **Telepathic Communication:** She can communicate telepathically with individuals possessing similar levels of mental discipline, such as the Chaste.
	+ **Precognition:** She can have some precognitive visions, and see glimpses of future events.
	+ **Telepathic Immunity:** Elektra has demonstrated an ability to remain hidden and undetected by other telepaths. By using a telepathic technique that she learned during her time with the Hand, Elektra can create a mental shield around her mind keeping herself hidden from not only other psychics but mind locating machines like Cerebro.
	+ **Silent Scream:** A high powered Chi based scream originally used by Shang-Chi, By focusing on her Chi and puckering her lips together Elektra can use this technique to perform a high pitched scream that can render a person permanently deaf, and/or by furthering focusing on one target can kill.
* **Master Martial Artist:** Elektra is proficient in many martial arts originating from China, Thailand, and Japan. While many of them are unstated, Ninjutsu is the most noticeable one. She won trophies in aikido, kendo, and karate.
* **Master Assassin:** Elektra has mastered many techniques as an assassin. She was trained in the art of killing by Stick, Members of the Chaste, and The Hand.
* **Enhanced Reflexes:** Elektra has been shown capable of preventing Black Widow from shooting her at a close range. She did this by literally slicing through the bullet with her sai.
* **Peak Human Physical Conditioning:** Elektra is an Olympic-level athlete and gymnast. She had won the competition in both swimming and track from an early age.
* **Weapons Master:** She is a master of many different weapons. Among the known are Okinawan Sai which are her usual weapons of choice (it is presumed she may have trained with all Okinawan Kobudo weapons), katanas, knives, sansetsukon (3-sectional staff), and (shuriken) throwing stars.
* **Master of Stealth:** Due to her training as a ninja assassin, she can blend in with the shadows and remain undetected by most humans.
* **Expert Acrobat:** She is an excellent acrobat capable of many difficult feats..
* **Expert Markswoman:** Elektra is skilled with throwing weapons and sharpshooting.
* **Nervous System Control:** She can control her nervous system enabling her to deaden her body to physical pain, control her emotions, and even her bleeding rate.
* **Pressure Point Locator:** She can locate different pressure points on a person's body. She can incapacitate, paralyze, severely injure, or kill a person.
* **Multilingual:** In addition to Greek and English, Elektra also appears to be fluent in Spanish.

## Equipment

* **Elektra's Suit:**
* **Twin Sai:** Elektra’s primary weapons are her twin sai, long daggers with narrow blades and twin blade guards. She can use them to slash, stab, and throw. Her Sai are protected with synaptic snare with biometric locks keyed to her nervous system that will deliver a shock that paralyzes any other person who touches it for sixty seconds, to ensure nobody can use them against her again.
* **Z Scorpion EVO 3 S1:** During the Ambush at Bay Ridge Rail Yard, Members of the Hand disguised as Yakuza attacked Daredevil and Elektra, Elektra managed to disarm one of them and was about to shoot him with his own gun. However, as the gun was out of ammunition, Elektra resorted to striking him across the face with it, knocking him out.
* **Katana:** Elektra was handed the Katana by Nobu Yoshioka shortly after being told she was the Black Sky. Elektra took the sword and threatened Daredevil with it before being disarmed.
* **Twin Wakizashi Swords:** After her resurrection, Elektra had began to train as the Black Sky, her weapon of choice were two wakizashi swords that could combine into one.
* **Sansetsukon (Three-Sectioned Staff):**
* **Daredevil's Suit:**

## Weaknesses

* **Psychic Feedback:** It is unclear what the limitations on her psychic ability are. She may be limited by touching distance or to minds easily affected by persuasion; the last time Elektra tried this trick, it was with S.H.I.E.L.D. Elektra was not born with this interesting gift: she mastered it through training and refinement with The Hand. Their fighters share similar powers, which means each of them -- including Elektra -- are mentally linked to The Beast, the relentless demigod of The Hand who has haunted her since she broke rank.
* **Suffers from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder:**
