10 Things Marvel Wants You To Forget About Elektra

1. Everything To Do With The X-Men

Although Elektra is, primarily, a Daredevil character through and through, her involvement with the Hand (and her time spent in Japan) has led her to cross paths with none other than Wolverine on occasion. And, while the X-Men are experiencing a resurgent period in the medium as of late, it's true that Marvel would much prefer their presence to be kept to a minimum.

Fans will be all too familiar with the embargo placed on the Fantastic Four over at the House of Mouse, and even though Wolverine et al. have made a comic book comeback this year, it shouldn't be news to hear of Marvel's repeated attempts to replace the group with the Inhumans these last few years. That particular superhero group are currently making their way to the small screen via a soon to be critically-panned TV show, while Fox continue to sit on the limitless potential of the X-Men franchise.

That said, Elektra's time spent with Wolverine is probably something Marvel would rather see forgotten, and we're not just talking about Enemy of the State here either. The two have shared the page many times, with a short-lived 2002 series by Greg Rucka being a particular highlight, and it helps that they work well together.

For now, however, expect any further Elektra/Wolverine adventures to be placed on the back burner. Unless, of course, Fox have a change of heart.
