Wilson Fisk was once New York's biggest crime boss, and with that reputation came a huge amount of resources.
One of his favourites was the ability to call on the world's deadliest assassins whenever he wanted, and while Bullseye was played for laughs in his early appearances, one character who definitely wasn't was Elektra Natchios, Daredevil's would-be love interest and one-time enemy.
During Frank Miller's run on the Daredevil comic, Elektra was originally deployed as a deadly antagonist, and one of Kingpin's most trusted lieutenants. While Fisk was yet to learn of Daredevil's true identity, he did target the offices of Nelson & Murdock in his attempts to assert himself in Hell's Kitchen. Elektra was dispatched to take out one half of the firm, the bow-tie wearing Foggy, but when Nelson recognised her from his college days - where Elektra was Matt's girlfriend - she was unable to complete the contract.
It wouldn't be the last time Fisk would target Murdock's supporting cast however, and while Nelson emerged unharmed, later victims wouldn't be as fortunate...
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
