I know very little about comic books. But in thinking about the upcoming “Daredevil,” something occurs to me. Jennifer Garner plays Elektra Natchios, whose superhero alter ego name is…”Elektra.” I mean, she does have a cool name and all, but won’t it be easy for people to figure out who she is? Isn’t that sort of like Clark Kent’s alter ego being “Clark”?
Just wondering.
Snicker.
Judging from the pictures in EW, she doesn’t even wear a mask. What kind of disguise is that?
I’m not too familiar with the series, but maybe they figure that, since Daredevil is blind, she gets to go without a mask because he can’t see her anyway. Don’t you think, though, that Mr. Super-attenuated other senses would recognize the sound of her voice?
I guess Daredevil no longer retains the airtight logical foundations of other superhero comics.
Either that, or they just aren’t really trying …

I go now.
Elektra isn’t really a secret identity type. She’s not exactly a superhero, either. I think she has a little of a secret identity but doesn’t put much effort into it – sort of like Nathan Lane.
