<p><i><b>Elektra: Assassin</b></i> is an eight-issue <a href="Limited_series_(comics)" title="Limited series (comics)">limited series</a> published by <a href="Epic_Comics" title="Epic Comics">Epic Comics</a>, an imprint of American company <a href="Marvel_Comics" title="Marvel Comics">Marvel Comics</a>, between August <a href="1986_in_comics" title="1986 in comics">1986</a> and March 1987. Written by <a href="Frank_Miller" title="Frank Miller">Frank Miller</a> and illustrated by <a href="Bill_Sienkiewicz" title="Bill Sienkiewicz">Bill Sienkiewicz</a>, <i>Elektra: Assassin</i> satirizes ultra-violence, politics, comic book clichés like <a href="Ninja" title="Ninja">ninjas</a> and cyborgs, and the portrayal of women.<sup id="cite_ref-cyso_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cyso-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>As with <i><a href="Ronin_(DC_Comics)" title="Ronin (DC Comics)">Ronin</a></i> and <i><a href="Born_Again_(comics)" title="Born Again (comics)">Born Again</a></i>, Miller wrote the series with the <a href="Full_script" class="mw-redirect" title="Full script">full script</a> method.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<p>The story starts out with <a href="Elektra_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Elektra (comics)">Elektra</a> in a mental institution in <a href="South_America" title="South America">South America</a>, attempting to recover her memory. The first issue is very disjointed, as Elektra pieces together jumbled memories ranging from the murder of her mother, molestation by her father (which she says is actually an invented memory), to more recent events such as an assassination she carried out. This led her to discover the existence of "The Beast", a monster who controls people by forcing them to drink its mother's milk. At first, The Beast's motives are unclear, but it is gradually revealed that it is attempting to bring about a nuclear war. When its initial plans fail, it launches the presidential campaign of Ken Wind (with a face resembling a grainy <a href="Dan_Quayle" title="Dan Quayle">Dan Quayle</a> photograph, whose resemblance is a coincidence, according to Sienkiewicz, since it is a Sienkiewicz self-portrait).<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Wind proves extremely popular, through various platitudes which disguise his evil nature; when Wind takes over, he intends to launch a nuclear attack on the <a href="Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a>, bringing about mutually assured destruction.

</p><p>Elektra uses her psychic powers to escape, running afoul of <a href="S.H.I.E.L.D." title="S.H.I.E.L.D.">S.H.I.E.L.D.</a> agent John Garrett. Garrett, an alcoholic, feels ashamed and becomes obsessed with Elektra, but she manages to stay one step ahead of him. She traps him in a building which is blown up, and most of his body is destroyed. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s experimental cybernetics division builds him a robotic body and attaches his head. His psychic bond with Elektra continues to grow, and he eventually realizes he is powerless against her. She sets out to stop the Beast, killing various subordinates and several <a href="S.H.I.E.L.D." title="S.H.I.E.L.D.">S.H.I.E.L.D.</a> agents in the process. In response, <a href="Nick_Fury" title="Nick Fury">Nick Fury</a> sends Chastity McBryde, a strictly by-the-book mercenary. Perry, a sociopath who was Garrett's former partner, has now also been turned into a cyborg. Chastity learns of Perry's suppressed sociopathic criminal history, and informs Fury, but Perry manages to escape before S.H.I.E.L.D can deactivate him. Perry is extremely dangerous and eventually comes under the service of The Beast.

</p><p>The Beast manages to get Wind elected president, but Elektra thwarts the plan with her psychic powers and ninja skills. In a final confrontation, Elektra manages to injure The Beast, terminate Perry, and transfer the mind of Garrett into Ken Wind and vice versa before she and Garrett are captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. As Chastity is giving her final report to the President about what happened, it is realized that in the end, Garrett, in the body of Wind, is the President. Elektra, using her psychic powers yet again, manages to escape S.H.I.E.L.D after she has recovered, by placing her mind in one of the blue helper dwarfs, knocking out Chastity and then releasing her own body.
