Hey, guys, Professor Bill of Comic Book University & I’m going to explain Moon Knight in about-a-minute.

• Marc Spector is the son of a German Rabbi who escaped with his family to America to evade persecution.
• As Marc grew up, he began to resent his father for fleeing rather than fighting.
• Marc took up boxing to unleash the great aggression he seemed consumed by, even punching his father when he tried to stop him from this path of violence.
• The next morning he joined the Marine Corps and never saw his father alive again.
• After two tours of duty, he joined the CIA and later became a mercenary.
• He took many well-paying jobs, mostly in Africa and South America, and he invested his money wisely.
• On one job, he worked for a man named Raoul Bushman who turned out to be a murderer and a sadist. Bushman murdered an entire tribe of people and an archeologist in the Northern Sudan and Specter had seen enough.
• He rescued the archeologist’s daughter, Marlene, and challenged Bushman.
• Spector was beaten badly and left for dead, however, he was able to make his way North to find a temple to the forgotten god, Khonshu; who was the god of the moon, the night traveler, and vengeance.
• Khonshu promised to save his life if Spector became his avatar on Earth.
• Marc agreed.
• Moon Knight is often called Marvel’s version, or answer, to Batman.
• While several aspects of their characters are similar, there is one glaring difference.
• Batman wears variations of blue & black to blend into the shadows.
• Moon Knight wears white, because, as he puts it, “I want the criminals to see me coming.”
• Moon Knight is no-nonsense, he doesn’t dodge attacks. He’d prefer to take the hit rather than waste time dodging.
• It’s because of “philosophies” like this that, while a character like the Taskmaster “could” replicate Moon Knight’s fighting style, he prefers not to because it hurts too much.
• Moon Knight suffers from multiple personalities, just as the waxing and waning of the moon, Spector changes personalities often.
• His “powers” have changed fairly often, too, just as his personalities, because Khonshu has many aspects, but several abilities have remained constant:
• Mark is highly resistant to pain, and he is strong beyond most human limits. His fluctuating mental state makes him immune to telepathy and has an unnatural ability to strike fear in others.
• Does he actually have super-powers? No one really knows, but it’s been suggested that Moon Knight suffers from a madness so powerful that it can only be described as magic.
And that is Moon Knight, in about a minute.
