First Appearance: Werewolf by Night #32 (Comic, 1975)
Marc Spector, better known as the vigilante Moon Knight, was once a mercenary left for dead in the desert, where he was revived by the Moon god Khonshu. Appointed as Khonshu's fist and high priest, Moon Knight enacts justice to protect those who travel at night. Marc also has dissociative identity disorder, some of his alters being millionaire Steven Grant and cab driver Jake Lockley.
Evolution of Moon Knight through movies, tv, and video games.
The Ultimate Spider-Man animated series introduce me to Moon Knight
It got introduced to Moon Knight in Spiderman Web of Shadows.
Same, it introduced to me several characters I had little idea of like White Tiger, Nova, Taskmaster, The Beetle, Batroc, Miles Morales (he had a cameo in early season 1 where I began to research about him).
Save goes for the other shows that were all part of a shared universe with Ult. Spider-Man (Avengers Assemble, Hulk and the Agents of SMASH and Guardians of the Galaxy).
Same I saw the Spider-Man animated a couple of years and when I saw Moon Knight I was who is he but started liking him and never expecting a live action and I got soo excited to see him again. Moon knight is a character that became so popular so fast because of the series.
@Ghost Spider Me to dude. Good to see someone else who appreciates those shows that introduced me to otherwise unknown marvel characters outside of comics.
It sucks that Moon Knight was not in any of the Marvel vs Capcom games
Maybe we will once mvc4 is announced
I realize I forgot to include Marvel Future Revolution. Thank you to those who pointed it out. I will include that if and when I reupload the video in the future. Thank you!
They should make a moon knight game
Instead of charvhter menu it has different layers
@Connective Mind nothing is scarier than the Batman games smh
It should be a two player game
No
@Sonictheheghoge ARE YOU SERIOUS
I’m glad for the popularity Moon Knight has gained recently. His actual current run is really good.
Complex characters with internal conflicts tend to attract a lot of attention… Will we have any luck with Sentry? The agoraphobic schizophrenic with the power of a million exploding suns deserves a movie.
Honestly the “Random bullshit go!” meme really seems like the best way of describing his powers, at least based on what I’ve seen in the show. Obviously he’s good with weapons/general combat, he seems to have an unlimited supply of throwing knives, and I gather the suit heals him, but outside of that… he can fall slightly slower than normal? He’s super cool but I can’t really figure out his deal yet
Marvel Ultimate Alliance was the only thing that introduced to Moon Knight along with other characters like Dr. Strange and Black Panther before their popularity in the MCU. I used to play as him and he was really badass that his extreme attack managed to knocked down two bosses at once! 👍
I learned about him and many other marvel characters from marvel avengers alliance
Man I miss that game still no idea why it was removed
I was introduced to him in Marvel Ultimate Alliance and then I started reading his comics and he has been my favorite hero since!
im a bit sad that i only found him just now cause of the show.. but also happy cause i still did find him.. such a cool character
“I’d rather take the hit then to waste time blocking.” Moon Knight
A Moon Knight game would be really amazing. Cause its gameplay would be GTA 5 mixed with Batman Arkham games. Where you can change Steven Grant and Marc Spector personalities whenever you want with unique skills and then turn into Moon Knight to get some combat, Free-roam and stealth lile Batman.

do you think its problematic that most of these video games/cartoons ignore that he has both dissociative identity disorder and schizophrenia despite his conditions being just as important to the character as being a mercenary who thinks he’s an Egyptian god?
@Showvie Reviews I have a sense that might be why the Disney+ show has made Mr. Knight more of a superhero identity exclusive to Steven Grant rather than another distinct detective identity on top of the others, because not only does it simplify the character for general viewers but outside of the show it allows games/cartoons that only briefly show Moon Knight in a superhero form include the duality and not just be seen as Silver Batman (e.g. A video game could now embrace the identity disorder and utilise the switch between Moon Knight and Mr. Knight as a special ability where as before it was a bit harder to excuse Mr. Knight in a combat scenario etc.).
I think that’s a great question. I think it’s definitely more important in a huge role like the Moon Knight TV show where they can dig deeper into that. But in a game like lets say, Lego Super Heroes, it’s really not necessary because there are so many characters, you can’t really dive deep into that kind of stuff. But it’d be cool for them to expand upon that as he becomes more popular!
The first time I had actually seen Moon Knight, it was in the Lego Marvel Super Heroes game that I had played some years back, I became interested in learning more about him ever since, and is now one of my favorite characters.
Fun fact: If you go on top of a tall building in the Lego Marvel Super Heroes game, and change to Moon Knight, you can jump off the edge of the building and hold the A/X button (jump button) and he will glide down to the ground (he can’t fly, just glides downwards) he’s one of the few characters who can do this out of the whole game.
Iceman can do something similar, by making stairs out of ice going down to the ground.
Loving the attention this otherwise unpopular character is getting
@a whats his face yeah, you know the bandwagons who act like they know everything about him and only care about the show and that haven’t read any comics at all.
@the holy knight Moon Knight stans?
The stans are weird though
Almost no one knew he existed nor heard anything about him and now hes what everyone talks about 🥲
That’s what happens everytime someone gets introduced to the MCU. I remember having to explain who the Guardians of the Galaxy were. It’s weird to think about, but even Captain America and Iron Man were nowhere near as popular as characters like Spider-Man, Batman or Superman until the movies came out
i really hope moon knight doesn’t get a generic “tactical” look as time goes on. i don’t wanna watch avengers 5 and i can barely tell who moon knight is since every single character has the same “tactical” look
i really hope his mummy theme remains, or at least, keeps the general look
Moon Knight is a weird balancing act for me. I think both the tactical and mystic look both really suit him. Tactical gives a more Batman vibe. The current show’s suit is pretty good, but I don’t like the white mummy face, it should be in shadow. And the fabric around the chest piece looks like toilet paper. The cape is also really hard to get right.
I would love to see the shadowy face again without the mummy mask that would be awesome.
Totally agree.
I’m happy I got to love Moon Knight before his popularity. Played Ultimate Alliance when I was like 6 or 7 (so 2012-13) and loved him since, so all this attention he’s getting is totally deserved
@Δημήτρης Αυλωνίτης nice
@Epic still playing this game. It’s pretty amazing
Same. I’ve always loved his design and his connection to Egyptian mythology
Similar to me i played marvel future fight anf once i got moon knight he became my favorite character he still is
It was spiderman web of shadows was when I discovered and started liking moon knight
I’ve been a Moon Knight fan since ,2015, absolutely love the comics he’s such an awesome character
Two characters that I think deserve a game are Moon knight and Ghost rider
@Mu NAS ghost rider has at least one game I think, I played one on the psp before, it was actually pretty good, hard, but good
“I’d rather take the hit than waste time blocking it” 🤣😭
I love that line. Spidey is pry so confused haha
@HellFire comes uninvited Moon Chad vs. Spider Virgin
Giga knight vs virgin spider
