Elektra takes on a startling new role in Daredevil #25 - spoilers
Daredevil #25 spells out huge🧸 changes fo💃r the Man Without Fear

This week꧑'s from writer Chip Zওdarsky and artists Marco Checchetto and Marcio Menyz lays out massive status quo changes for both Matt Murdock and Daredevil.
As Daredevil enters prison, his 🎃allies lay out a plan to protect Hell's Kitchen, and possibly Matt Murdock's life, as he's behind bars. Read on to find out how.
Spoilers ahead for Daredevil #25.
As Daredevil #25 opens, Daredevil himself has been senᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtenced to prison where he's allowed to wear a mask to conceal his identity in part of a special plea deal to lock up the vigilante without revealing his secret – a move that could put the freedom of other heroes in danger.
Elektra decides to ꧃take Matt seriously and returning to the streets of Hell's Kitchen, she decides to take up Matt'ꦰs legacy for herself – donning a costume as the new Daredevil of Hell's Kitchen.
This is hardly the first time Matt Murdock has been replaced by an ally as Daredevil for one reason or another. In previous stories, both Iron Fist and Spider-Man ha🎶ve filled in as Daredevil – however, in both cases, they were impersonating the actual Daredevil to help Matt Murdock. Elektra constitutes one of the first heroes to take up the identity of Daredevil on her own, as a totally separate vigilante.

There's one final 🎶twist, however; as Elektra returns to Stick's lair, she explains her confrontation with Matt Murdock and his refusal to leave prison. Stick agrees to play things her way but reminds her that the Fist will require both a King and Queen – and only one can ultimately survive.
The story continues in, due out January 27.
