Abilities

 * Martial Artist: She has some skills in martial arts as she was able to easily counter Elektra attacks when she exited the sarcophagus that the Hand used to resurrect her. It should be noted that at the time Elektra was in a weakened and confused state. In 2016, during her war against the Defenders, Alexandra avoided combat, letting other fight for her. However this could possibly be explained by the fact that at the time she was dying, her body rejecting the effects of the elixir that had granted her an extraordinary long life until then. However when facing an imminent assassination by Murakami, she showed no fear, even being insulted by the idea that the lethal Assassin could think he had a chance to take her down.
 * Longetivity: Alexandra lived during centuries thanks to an elixir, created with dragon bones powder, that she and the other leaders of the Hand used. However, by 2016, her body began to naturally reject the effects of the elixir, her organs failing one after the other, and the doctors stated that she had less than six months to live.
 * Mulitlingualism: She is fluent in English, Turkish and Japanese.
