Synopsis for "What If Daredevil Died Saving Elektra?"Edit

In this story, Matt Murdock sacrificed his life in saving Elektra Natchios and her father when he miss hitting the last terrorist and is accidentally gunned by the SWAT team while wrestling the said terrorist. Matt is buried with recognition for his heroism as many of his friends and loved ones mourn his death, as Elektra wears headscarf that Matt meant to give her as a present. As everyone left the funeral, Matt's father Jack Murdock is the only one left. He is then met by reporter Ben Urich, who tells him that he strongly believed that his blind son was capable of defeating the terrorists was due to being exposed to the radiation which gives him his ability. Jack, however, doesn't care and ostensibly reply to Urich of not revealing this information to the public in order to leave his son in peace.

One week later, Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D., having known carefully of Matt Murdock's powers, discovered Matt's body is gone from his grave. It is revealed that The Hand are responsible for the theft of Matt's body as they used magic to revived him as a member of their organization...

Ten years later, Elektra became a experienced member of S.H.I.E.L.D., who is investigating the grisly death of the Kingpin and his men, including Bullseye. Elektra explores her investigation to a bar where after subduing a flirtatious former SHIELD Agent John Garrett, she met Stick. The martial arts master explains to her about the Hand organization and their leader known as The Advocate, before telling Elektra that she can gain more information from Nick Fury as he mysteriously leave.

What If DD was inducted into their evil order in her place? WHAT IF DAREDEVIL DIED AND WAS RESURRECTED BY THE HAND?
