I know comic books, I admit it.

Frank Miller created Elektra, and Frank is not known as a pro-female guy, even though he is. I know some people who don't like Frank at all, in fact they think he's too dark and heavy for comic books, that what he does is "niche". Tabuno- do you think Elektra is "niche"?
It sounds like you think she is more appealing to women (or should be) than Wonder Woman. Is that only true for the movies?
There are people who outright don't like Frank Miller, and it baffles me. He's the Ultimate to me. If you're gonna have someone "push the boundaries" with comics, go "non-Canonical", then Frank is THE GUY.
