She is presently working as an assassin for hire and her latest assignment is to take out a father and his 13 year old daughter, whom she didn't know at first was her target, but when she refuses to do it, other assassins come and try to finish what she couldn't but she saves them and discovers that the Hand, an evil organization, that has mystical warriors in their ranks, are the ones who want her. So she takes them and she seeks help from Stick who refuses to help so they are on their own. And when the father is asked why the hand wants them, he claims he doesn't know or does he.

User Comments: "Elektra" succeeds because of Garner's dedication to the character, and her willingness to go along with some rather outlandish ideas for a comic book adventure...
