50 Most Badass Women In Comics

A woman who’s probably spent just as much time in the afterlife as she has in the real world, Elektra Natchios knows what it means to face death.

Although a cold and calculated killer before her numerous brush-ins with the grim reaper, those trips into the beyond seem to have only tainted Elektra further, something to which ex-boyfriend and frequent target-in-her-sights Daredevil might attest.

Two sai have become closely linked with Natchios as her weapons of choice—an insanely cool selection, we might add—and her powers over mind and body are resolute. As well as being one of the most accomplished martial artists in existence, the assassin can make herself resistant to extreme temperatures and through serious mental discipline has attained low-level telepathy.

Add into the mix her ties to the ninja organisation The Hand, of whom she sometimes serves as leader, just for fun.
