      Same here. What makes it so refreshing is that Moon Knight is such a cool and Badass character who doesn’t get nearly enough love. His origin is a bit complicated and hearing it told in such clean and clear way truly helps seeing Moon Knight in a brand new light. I love it!

    Moon Knight is one of my all time favorite comic book characters and he’s definitely one of my top 5 favorite Marvel heroes. I really enjoyed the clear and precise way you told Marc Spector’s origin story. Because his origin is a bit complicated, I found your explanation to be perfect. Thank you so much! As a relatively new fan and subscriber of your channel, I look forward to seeing more of your content. Cheers!

    Nicely done. You should add his first appearance in Werewolf by night #32. Marc was bitten by the werewolf thus giving him added strength which can be attributed to the lunar cycle.

      @@ghost_kinggamer You're both right. In the original comics it was initially claimed that Moon Knight had enhanced strength as a result of his encounter with Werewolf By Night. It was later re-written so that his powers came from Khonshu.

    Great video as always. But trying to incorporate modern Marvel stories with the classic continuity is increasingly impossible. Since 2015 editorial standards and consistency are non-existent. I just consider all that stuff as bad non-fan fiction.

      First of all, Moon Knight is a Badass character. Second of all, Moon Knight can be compared to Batman since both characters use stylized gadgets based on their respected motifs. They’re both millionaires and they use their talents, skills, and resources to fight crime as caped costumed vigilantes. With all that being said I think there’s way more to Moon Knight than Batman. Moon Knight is an extremely compelling and complicated character who in my opinion has a lot more to offer solely based on the character and situations himself. I will say that Batman has a much better Rogues Gallery that’s filled with exciting and compelling characters but in the end I still give it to Moon Knight. He’s just much more interesting and intriguing of a superhero. I love the character and I can’t wait to see how Marvel handles Moon Knight in the MCU.
