I've never been interested in Typhoid Mary. Her psychic powers are vaguely defined. She has three or four personalities (which canonically make her smell different). It's always struck me as overly complicated without a distinct core.

She should date either Legion or Moon Knight.

Let's not make ableist wisecracks, please?

" Typhoid Mary and Moon Knight " sounds like an idea Ann Nocenti's had sitting around for years.

Well, in terms of endlessly relitigating the Elektra/Bullseye fight as repudiation of the original sin of her fridging, this is at least a variation on the theme. Interesting to see what gimmick is with this twist; hallucinations, body doubles, clones, new super powers, etc?

I don't know if I'd call their first fight a "fridging". Elektra is an assassin trained by both the Chaste and the Hand. Bullseye used her training as a ninja against her by figuring she'd strike from the shadows. She did, he was ready and she lost. I'd call it more of the "assassin outclassin" trope.

Yes, she then stumbles bloodily down the street to Matt's brownstone and dies in his arms and all that.

Have to go to the Judges scorecard to call this one.

Well, she was created solely to eventually die to inspire Daredevil. Being a badass doesn't negate that.
