Page "Elektra (comics)" Paragraph 19

Elektra lost faith and hope.

She quit Columbia and returned to China to study martial arts.

Stick, a member of the benevolent organization called the Chaste, recognized the darkness in her soul and attempted to train her himself, but she ultimately sided with the Hand, a sect of mystical ninja, who trained her as an assassin.

She later broke away from them and became an independent agent, and in this role she again encountered Matt Murdock, who was now active as Daredevil.

She battled Daredevil in order to force him to help her capture the criminal Alarich Wallenquist, and Daredevil saved her from being killed by Eric Slaughter.

She soon learned of his double identity, and although the pair worked together to fight the Hand, they also came into conflict frequently.
