If you were a MARVEL Super Hero… who would you be? Find out now.
I scored Elektra. -- Peak human strength, agility, speed, endurance, flexibility and reflexes. Master of virtually all martial arts, particularly ninjutsu. Low-level mind control and telepathic communication. Expert with all kinds of weapons, particularly her trademark twin sai.

Elektra Natchios, usually referred to only by her first name Elektra, is a fictional character in publications from Marvel Comics. Created by Frank Miller, the character first appeared in Daredevil #168 (January 1981).
Elektra is a Greek ninja assassin who wields two bladed sai as her trademark weapon. She is a love interest of the superhero Daredevil, but her violent nature and mercenary lifestyle divide the two. She is one of Frank Miller's best-loved creations, and subsequent writers' use of her is controversial as Marvel had originally promised to not resurrect the character without Miller's permission.
The more I read about Miller, the more I like this guy.
On January 24, 2007, in an interview with American radio network National Public Radio, Frank Miller talked about his political views. On the issue of the second Iraq war, he said:
“ Nobody questions why we, after Pearl Harbor, attacked Nazi Germany. It was because we were taking on a form of global fascism, we're doing the same thing now ... It seems to me quite obvious that our country and the entire Western World is up against an existential foe that knows exactly what it wants.... For some reason, nobody seems to be talking about who we're up against, and the sixth-century barbarism that they actually represent. These people saw people's heads off. They enslave women, they genitally mutilate their daughters, they do not behave by any cultural norms that are sensible to us. I’m speaking into a microphone that never could have been a product of their culture, and I'm living in a city where 3000 of my neighbors were killed by thieves of airplanes they never could have built".
