5 Facts About Moon Knight You Must Know
Moon Knight is merely days away from his MCU debut and fans are ecstatic about it. Oscar Isaac is all set to play the character and the first look in the trailer released weeks ago was nothing but exciting. Fans are excited about the dark approach that Marvel Studio is now taking with Moon Knight. The Disney+ series will take us through the wild adventures of Moon Knight which will impact the overall MCU. But before that happens, let’s go through some of the interesting facts about the character that you must know. Check it out!
1. Died & resurrected As The Fist of Khonshu
Marc Spector was left to die during an archaeological dig. Marc, along with his boss, discovered an ancient tomb where Spector was left to die under a statue of the God known as Khonshu. However, he was resurrected and blessed with powers that came and left according to the Lunar cycle.
2. Wears White To Be Seen
Many fans have compared Moon Knight to DC’s Batman because of his opposed colour scheme and extreme methods. During “The Bottom” storyline, he revealed during a discussion with Hawkeye that he wears white so that he can be seen. Which is the opposite of Batman’s approach. Yes, he’s pretty much badass.
3. Multiple Team-Up With Marvel Characters
Moon Knight has teamed up with many Marvel characters which makes his future in the MCU much brighter. He has worked with teams like Defenders and Heroes for Hire. But one team that always takes the first spot is the Avengers. He has been a part of the team on multiple occasions, so we might see him teaming up with a bunch of superheroes as well!
4. Access To Powerful Cosmic Abilities
During the “Age of Khonshu” storyline, Moon Knight’s abilities took a different turn when Khonshu took advantage of a galactic supermoon to use these increased powers and aim for world domination. Hence, this gave Moon Knight such strong powers that he was undefeatable. He beat down Thor with moons from across the galaxy, and even took control of the Mjolnir!
5. Huge Network Of Allies & Informants
Marc Spector, even though mostly a loner, should not be taken lightly. He is constantly surrounded by his allies, which often include his lover Marlene Alraune. Moreover, his friends from the days of being a man of service come in handy. He has a huge network of allies and protects the people from all types of supernatural threats at night. So, are you excited about the Disney+ series? Let us know in the comments below!
