Who is Marvel's Moon Knight? Psychotic, Super-Powered "Batman"

This video explores the abilities, powers, and origin of the Marvel Comics character "Moon Knight." From Marc Spector having experience as a heavyweight boxer, a U.S. Marine, and a C.I.A. Agent, contending with fellow operatives William Cross aka Crossfire and his brother Randall, leaving the agency to become a mercenary, befriending Jean-Paul DuChamp aka Frenchie and Marlene Alraune, falling in and out of partnership with the tyrant named Raoul Bushman, becoming the Moon Knight of Vengeance after his lifeless body was placed at the foot of a statue of the moon god Khonshu, developing multiple personalities of his own and taking on the personas of other superheroes, having many gadgets to compliment his mystically enhanced physical attributes, to being a major force against villains in New York and elsewhere in the Marvel Universe; Let's take a look at this Marvel superhero, and Marvel Comics' unique doppelganger to DC Comics' Batman. This includes a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," which I use to give ratings of comic books and science fiction characters.

@@NewSage Moon Knight is so awesome he is one of my favorite characters Thank you for making this video

[@Crimsonhighlander]

So uh.. a lot of the comics, especially the newer ones, leave the nature of Moon Knight's 'abilities' a lot more ambiguous. About whether he actually has any supernatural power or it's all in his head. It's one of the most compelling aspects of the character, because there are hints about it being able to be either one, or both. I love this hero, and I'm glad he's usually shown a fair bit of respect, no matter who takes up the story, as well as there rarely being a big divergence from his themes and tones.

[@JokerL1000]

netflix need to quit playing and make the show already. Its the numberone show people keep asking 4.

JokerL1000 You're right, man. I've been wanting a Moon Knight show since after watching Daredevil's season one. Not on any regular TV station, mainly because they'll fuck it up and make it a dumbed down, PG family show. But for Netflix, because they will do it *"right"*.

neosrt10 That's funny, because my uncle recently gave me an old Moon Knight comic from the late 70s, I believe it was. Don't have it on hand to check. Also, I think a season(s) full, Netflix TV show would do this more justice than a movie. Mainly because not many people know he even exists. Anyway, glad you were able to remember the good things in life.

[@Va1karius]

To basically sum it up, Moon Knight is Marvel's Batman who isn't afraid to kill. If Bruce had a split personality disorder. As Moon Knight currently has his powers back i think. Oh, you know how Batman drops people and catches as a scare tactic? Moon Knight will just drop them. And Moon Knight's costume is platinum silver. Marc has also fought Punisher to a standstill.

[@Va1karius]

Now if Moon Knight was the new Anti-Venom. He'd make that symbiote the heroic version of Carnage.

[@RamsTheNameCom]

Steven Chang ....Moon Knight didn't have Multiple Personality Disorder, those were disguises. It was Bendis in 2004 who gave him split personalities as well as had him shoot up a school (Ultimate Spider-Man). A difference between Bat Man and Moon Knight is Moon Knight was a brutal merecenary killing good and evil turned vigilante to redeem himself. Moon Knight is a Van Helsing ripoff while Bat Man actually outright plagiarized The Shadow.

[@Va1karius]

@@RamsTheNameCom Moon Knight doesn't hunt vampires. Khonshu gave him the split personality (616). Different aspects.

[@RamsTheNameCom]

Steven Chang ....Van Helsing didn't just hunt Vampires you know.... but Van Helsing was the first person in media to be labeled a Monster Hunter. Besides, I was talking about the Vampirella comic's Van Helsing who is ALSO a mercenary. Khonshu did NOT give Moon Knight multi-personality disorder, as I said before Bendis was the first to give Moon Knight Multiple Personality Disorder in the 2004 Ultimate Comics.Which in 2008 was leaked into the "Vengeance of the Moon Knight" comic run (like how Black Nick Furry for the Ultimate comics eventually became the new Nick Fury in the main cannon comics). (The Charlie Huston run from 2006 DID NOT give Moon Knight Multiple Personality Disorder). Moon Knight was better off WITHOUT his stupid Bendis Disorder and should just focus on him being a person who killed a lot of innocent people trying to redeem himself as a superhero like in the original comics.

[@Va1karius]
