It represents Elektra during the Elektra: Assassin storyline, where she "mind controlled" a lackey.

besides, assassins play a lot of head games with their prey.:D
Head games...?
This is your gut. This is your gut on my sword. Any question?

Speaking of mind control on Elektra, how does her two targets and mind control work? I have a feeling that she isn't going to be able to mind control two targets in one action but there is nothing in the rules yet that says she can't. I suppose there will be some errata that says mind control only works on a single target. How else would you resolve such an action if both attacks happen at the same time? Take control of both at the same time and do stuff with them? That is nuts, and it makes supreme mind controllers like Charlie Xavier a total chump... It will be interesting how they handle this.

That's the problem with doing such a specific figure.
I dislike the idea of the figure, BUT I haven't read Elektra:Assasin so I don't wanna comment.
BUT.
I have a Hulk annual from the mid-70's (My GF found it in her attic, was I pleased !!!)
If you make clicks from the hulk in that particular annual, Hulk deserves.
Superstrength, Battle fury, Toughness, Regen, and Invulnerable.
Fair enough, BUT.
He also uses his strength to dig through the ground away from enemies, the ONLY way I can see of doing this is gioving Hulk Phasing. Also, because he can't beat some alien monsters by fighting them, hulk WORKS OUT, RATIONAL INTELLEGENT plans to defeat them. Alongside all of this Hulk is almost falling asleep because of another alien being, however he forces himself to fight on. Now whe have 1974 Annual hulk.
Outwit
Phasing
Willpower
Superstrength
Invulnerable
Toughness
Battle Fury
Regenerate
A good representation of that specific hulk??? yes.
A good representation of the CHARACHTER Hulk we all know and love???
Not in ANY way

In the Elektra:Asassin mini she mind controls numerous SHIELD agents as well as one John Garrett who is suppossed to be one of the best SHIELD agents at the time of printing.She also does full mind switches,instead of making them do what she wants she puts her mind in your body and uses it as her own.Not to mention killing everything in site,piercing full body armor with her bare hands and blocking bullets with those same hands.I've read the series numerous times since its release and I'd say the fig represents her extremely well.

From that ONE representation.
Each comic is different MASSIVELY.
While it's a GREAT representation of the character it's not a good representation of Elektra as mostr comic fans know her.
I know people WOULDN'T be happy if the Sabretooth figure represent's his early career, you know where he was ANNIHILATED by Black Cat without her even breaking a sweat.
Sabretooth worse than Black Cat, that's a GREAT representation of him before they revamped him, but a BAD representation of the character.
Vulture in his first apearances nearly killed Spiderman in about a single page WITH EASE. Why isn't Vulture 150 points??? because it's not a good representation of Vulture as he's generally seen.

The problem with that is that this isnt your normal DD storyline Elektra,if thats the case then theres at least 8 others to choose from.If I were doing sabertooth I wouldn't use the Powerman/Ironfist version,I'd probably use the miniseries one where they've mad him stronger and dubbed turbo-sabertooth.That would be a nice fig.
