Matt Murdock is a character who has been through a lot of major status quo changes over the years, but he's now back behind bars and forced to again rely on his allies to protect Hell's Kitchen.
In today's Daredevil #25 from writer Zdarsky and artists Marco Checchetto and Marcio Menyz, Elektra visits Matt in his prison cell and tells him that she's been working with Stick to slow the spread of the Hand. Revealing that she's found a way to defeat the villainous group of ninjas once and for all, Elektra tells her former lover that they need to form their own group, the Fist, with a "king and queen" in charge.
Daredevil refuses to break out of prison, but tells Elektra that if she hopes to win him over, the former assassin must prove that she's serious about helping the world. How better to do that than by taking on the Daredevil mantle to protect Hell's Kitchen? As you can see below, that's exactly what she does!
It's a cool idea, and a first in the comic books. While Spider-Man and Iron Fist have donned Matt's costume, they were impersonating the original when they did so. Elektra, however, will be a completely new version of Daredevil, but with Stick later telling her that only the King or Queen of the Fist can ultimately survive, it's clear she's still keeping some secrets from Matt...
