"Ultimate Daredevil & Elektra" is a 2002 comic book starring ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} and ComicBook/{{Elektra}} reimagined in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe. It was written by Greg Rucka, with arts of Salvador Larroca.

Elektra Natchios has just arrived to the campus, and joined Phoebe and Melissa in a dorm room. She introduced them to her sensei in her karate classes. They have a discussion with Trey, a local bully. Elektra also met Matt Murdock in the gym class, and fell in love with him. Things start to get darker when he takes things beyond mere pranks, and both the college and the police itself can not stop him. His father is an influential political figure, and sees that nothing happens to him. Elektra finally decides to work as a vigilante and take him down, but Matt is a vigilante as well and stops her from doing so.

!!Tropes
* AdaptationalModesty: When going around as a vigilante, Elektra uses a black jean and top, and a red bandana. Not a red swimsuit like the prime earth Elektra.
* BoxingLesson: Elektra took Phoebe and Melissa with her sensei, so they can learn self-defense.
* BullyingTheDragon: Elektra told Trey to return the folder to the student he was bullying. He replied "Make me". We leave the rest to your imagination.
* ChallengingTheBully: When Elektra saw Trey abusing of a female student with his gang, he forced him to return her her folder.
* CoversAlwaysLie: Matt never uses the Daredevil costume, or even the name, in this comic.
* DirtyCoward: Trey took a gun, set a trap for Elektra and was ready to kill her. But she was ready for him, took him from the back by surprise, forced him to drop the gun... and the rest is too humiliating to detail.
* DisabledMeansHelpless: Foggy may mean well, always trying to help Matt with minor stuff, but he was clear: "I've told you before, Foggy. I'm not helpless, just blind"
* LoveAtFirstSight: Elektra fell in love with Matt when she first saw him.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Daredevil and Elektra discussed this when she intended to kill the bully and he stopped her.
