After years of playing backup, Moon Knight finally got his own series in 1980. The first issue of the series, written by Moench and drawn by legendary horror artist Bill Sienkiewicz (with inks by Frank Springer, colours by Bob Sharen, and letters by Tom Orzechowski), begins with a soft-reboot, cleaning up past inconsistencies.

The first issue describes the death of soldier of fortune Marc Spector at the hands of his boss, the ruthless Bushmaster. After being revived by the Egyptian god Khonshu, Spector becomes the Moon Knight and takes revenge on Bushmaster. In the issues that follow, Spector’s alternate Grant and Lockley identities manifest as he takes on both street-level villains and mythical monsters. In Moon Knight #3, Moench and Sienkiewicz introduce Anton Mogart aka Midnight Man, a master thief and frequent Moon Knight antagonist, who will play an important role in the Disney show.

Moon Knight is about to become the latest breakout MCU star, thanks to his upcoming Disney series starring Oscar Isaac. But the white-cloaked hero has a long history at Marvel Comics, going back to the seventies. Created by writer Doug Moench and artist Don Perlin, he first appeared as an antagonist for the titular character in Werewolf by Night, in 1975’s issue #32. He fought against the lupine antihero for two issues. But that was just the beginning for this hero based in Egyptian mythology. Over the last nearly five decades, Moon Knight has made many appearances in the comics, and his powers, abilities, and personalities have evolved throughout. With so much Moon Knight comic backstory to mine, this hero’s MCU future is looking bright. Let’s take a closer look at who exactly Moon Knight is and what we can learn from his origins and history.

Moon Knight’s Marvel Comic Origins and Early Appearances

As mentioned, Moon Knight was first created in 1975 for Marvel Comics’ Werewolf by Night, where he appeared in two issues. Sales must have been pretty good on those early appearances because Marvel brought Moon Knight back for a solo try-out in Marvel Spotlight, followed by guest appearances in Spectacular Spider-Man, Marvel Two-In-One, and Defenders. He then got a backup feature in the Hulk’s large-format magazine. Finally, Moon Knight was ready for his true point of origin. He received his first solo ongoing Moon Knight series in 1980, and he’s had on and off solo comics ever since, remaining a fixture of the Marvel Universe.

Marc Spector’s Desert Resurrection

As he lay dying in the Egyptian sands, the acolytes of the ancient Egyptian moon deity Khonshu took Marc Spector in. They spirited him away to Khonshu’s temple, where Spector’s heart stops. While dead, he meets with the spirit of Khonshu, who grants him his life again, as long as Spector becomes his champion on Earth. He agrees to the terms and returns to life. Spector then covers himself with the white shroud from the temple, his first-ever white costume, and becomes the Moon Knight. Eventually, he takes his vengeance on Bushman and embarks on a heroic career.

Using the small fortune he had amassed as a mercenary, Spector sets up shop in New York City. This becomes his home base as the Moon Knight. At this point, Moon Knight creates two new personas to infiltrate the different worlds inhabiting the city. All in order to more efficiently fight crime. Moon Knight’s first personality is millionaire playboy Steven Grant. He uses this wealthy identity to infiltrate the elite criminals of New York. He also creates the personality of Jake Lockley, a cab driver whose ear is a bit closer to the ground. Both of these identities would serve Marc Spector well.

Does Moon Knight Have Powers or Not?

Much like other vigilante-type heroes, Moon Knight has no permanent superpowers to speak, save two (we’ll get to them, they’re biggies). As a former marine, boxer, and mercenary, Spector does have some natural abilities, however. Marc Spector is an expert fighter in multiple disciplines. He is also a weapons expert and a skilled pilot. But Moon Knight’s greatest power is that he seemingly cannot die. The God Khonshu has resurrected him at least three times, so he can continue to serve as his champion. So, although it’s not a specific power Moon Knight can wield at will, we’d count “immortality” as one of his powers. It seems like Moon Knight really cannot die… As long as his patron god wills it, anyway.

Moon Knight also got some abilities that are pretty close to powers from his original resurrection. His return from death altered his brain so that he can reject mental manipulation. This also makes him prone to prophetic visions and dreams. And although Moon Knight can’t fly, his crescent moon cape allows him to glide safely when jumping from great heights. Occasionally though, Moon Knight has received the odd power upgrade. Sometimes he has enhanced strength during nights in which there is a full moon and the power to sap someone’s life energy through physical contact. He even briefly held the Phoenix Force, making him practically a god. But that was very temporary. Essentially, Moon Knight’s most significant powers remain his fighting skills. We’ll have to wait and see if the MCU’s Moon Knight gets to keep any of his comic counterpart’s best abilities on a more permanent basis.
