Marvel's The Defenders: 23 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

16. Elektra's Outfit

As was hinted at at the end of Daredevil's second season, Elektra's revival involves her adopting the iconic red costume she always traditionally wore in the comics.

There's an even more specific nod to past appearance too: in Daredevil's second season, Elektra was offered a sword by Nobu with a red hilt, when it was revealed that she was the Black Sky. She refused the offer then, as she was still a "goodie" but now that she's come back evil, she has also reclaimed the same sword.

As another nice little call-back, she also pauses in the armoury when she sees her Okinawan sai - the weapons she always used in the comics.
