It would be interesting if these truths were reproduced in Moon Knight.
In the past week, Moon Knight made an impressive debut with a completely different style from previous MCU series. Dark, violent mixed with horror, this is possibly the best MCU series we've seen so far. In addition, it is also quite classic when it comes to bringing to life the bloody side of superhero work, as Daredevil has done before. Time will tell whether Moon Knight is allowed to break through, but for now, it has left a positive mark.
After the greeting, viewers must also realize what Moon Knight - or the writer likes to call Sailor Moon - is like, where he gets his strength from. It seems that Marvel will not be too adherent to the original comic book. Here are interesting "facts" about this character that the writer hopes will be shown in the future.
1. Origin of Moon Knight
A former mercenary Marc Spector has a mission to protect a professor who is researching the temple worshiping the ancient Egyptian Moon God Khonshu with his team in Egypt.
Then, due to greed for treasure there, but the professor did not allow it, the fight caused an accident that caused the temple to collapse and woke the God, and Marc Spector was in the light. Khonshu's eyes. The professor died when the temple collapsed, Marc was severely injured and fell into a space talking with Khonshu. The god feels that Marc is worthy of becoming a powerful successor, possessing the power of the moon god wants him to become the right hand to serve people so that the whole life can come out, Marc Spector becomes the "Fist of Khonshu" or better called Moon Knight.

2. Marc Spector, former mercenary, doesn't hold back against the enemy
While the Moon Knight derives his supernatural powers from the Moon God Khonshu, his training is similar to that of Batman. Both of them train hard day in and day out to develop their physique to the top in battle. But Moon Knight is different from Batman in that when the billionaire became a dark knight with the principle of not killing, Marc Spector, with a background as a former mercenary and worked for the CIA, always tortured him directly. Blood criminals even kill them. This came true in the first episode. Hope they keep it that way.
3. Moon Knight is a famous tycoon
In addition to being an archaeologist, Marc is a billionaire. Because whether it's a hero or an ordinary person, the wallet cannot be empty.
Marc is not only an archaeologist, he is also an inventor and a venture capital player under the personality of Steven Grant. Steven's income is in the billions of dollars and he is considered one of the most notorious billionaires in the Marvel Comics universe. This billionaire guy, in addition to possessing divine powers, also invented technological weapons to fight criminals. It sounds like a magician, but it's a lot of Batman and the process requires as much money as Bruce Wayne spends money on his "fun".
Steven Grant is a personality of Marc we've seen in trailers, tv spots and recently the first episode of the series, but we still don't know if he's a billionaire or not (but he looks like a shipper).
4. "Grab driver" Jake Lockley
Besides being the millionaire Steven Grant, Moon Knight also has another identity as a "Grab driver" Jack Lockley who specializes in being hired by criminals. This is understandable when Moon Knight forms this personality because it will be easy to get in and out and access a lot of information of criminals to fight them.
5. Moon Knight "likes" to take hits before attacking
Marc Spector's inherent martial arts skills combined with the power of the Moon God made his fighting skills optimally enhanced. And the relatively eccentric point of Moon Knight in every crime purge is that he always lets the enemy freely attack him first. Ammunition and arrows were released at him as freely as possible because Moon Knight was completely resistant to weapons with physical damage.
And then came the time when the Moon Knight counterattacked. With martial arts techniques that knock out opponents, he also uses barbaric forms of torture with a moon-shaped weapon - Crescent Darts. You can imagine through Assassin against Templar in Assassin's Creed Unity for easy visualization!
6. Moon Knight's power is not always useful
As mentioned in many previous introductory articles about the Moon Knight, the Ancient Egyptian moon god Khonshu gave power and strength to Marc Spector to become the Fist of Khonshu.
Moon Knight has night vision, some special magical abilities, super muscle strength, ability to heal wounds, fast combat speed... But either way, the increased strength is also good. there will be times of decline. What's not so interesting is that Moon Knight will have no power during the day, when he walks in the middle of the sun. It was not until nightfall that the new powers were re-established.
7. Moon Knight suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and personality many times
Superheroes have always had to go through trauma in their personal lives since Spector formed other identities and personalities of his own. Whether it is the title of an inventor, or a monstrous guy, prolonged time will cause his mind to collapse. Marc Spector also had a period in an insane asylum for his dissociative identity disorder.
8. Moon Knight has a whole network of spies
Superhero always has a network of intelligence systems to know what is happening in the city, similar to the FBI monitoring your access system. If Batman and Nightwing have Oracle, Cyborg gets hacker powers from the Mother system. Then Moon Knight owns an intelligence system called The Shadow Cabinet - an intelligence force of Spector consisting of 6 informants (including doctors, professors, hackers ...)
9. West Coast Avengers, Secret Avengers
Moon Knight is one of the eccentric and strange characters like Wolverine, who always claims to live and operate alone but becomes a member of a super team of 5 6 "superman brothers"…Moon Knight has Join the West Coast Avengers and have an interesting time travel that I will tell in the next fact.
But as a member of The Avengers, Spector himself did not gain the trust of many other Avengers due to his unstable spirit. But on the plus side, Spector's best time was when he became a part of the Secret Avengers. Steve Rogers recruited Spector to be part of the team after the party defeated Norman Osborn (Green Goblin) at Siege. To another mission in Los Angeles, Moon Knight successfully completed alone bringing absolute trust to the entire guild.
10. Moon Knight's "Gear" cast…was created by Hawkeye
After becoming Khonshu's right-hand man, the Moon Knight was given an ancient Egyptian armor and armor by the Moon God sect.
About the weapons belonging to the Khonshu cult passed to Moon Knight, one of the interesting details of this guy. The Moon Knight's signature weapon was actually created 5,000 years ago by Hawkeye. You hear me right, archers of The Avengers lead the Khonshu church and created weapons for the clergy, the holy knights (not the Templars) to use to protect themselves when the West Coast Avengers Travel to the past in Ancient Egypt confronting Kang the Conqueror. The missionaries 5,000 years later handed them over to the Moon Knight.
Specifically, the battle uniform for the cleric was made of Adamantium alloy by Hawkeye, and created the Moon crescent, also known as Crescent Darts, based on the idea of the crescent moon on Khonshu's staff. Who would have thought that all of the Moon Knight's armaments in the end didn't come from magic at all. At this point, it seems the series has changed a bit.
