3. Elecktra

The character Elecktra lived on the edge back in the comic book days.  She was always up for a challenge and she regularly crossed the line.  Elecktra was an assassin, pure and simple.  She killed bad guys, usually because someone paid her to, and she ran on the opposite side of the law from some famous superheroes like Daredevil and Captain America.

Then the movie came along and she became an obsessive-compulsive acrobat who developed a conscience.  The character was introspective and weak, and the storyline was even weaker still. The villains didn’t develop and the storyline with the infamous “Stick” left more questions than answers.

Elecktra was a character in the comics that always shared a storyline.  She was running around with other A-list heroes and never had to hold up a comic book story all by herself.  Now we know why.  This wasn’t good, at all, and should be stricken from your playlists.
