Origin:
Moon Knight was created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin and his first appearence was in Werewolf by Night issue 32 in 1975. Marc liked to play war and this bullying mentally affected his little brother Randall who became better than him. At school he beats up everyone who tried to offend him thus getting himself in trouble. Rebelling against his rabbi father (who had always respected him), Marc Spector started out as a heavyweight boxer before eventually joining the U.S. Marines. His brother called to tell him of his enlistment right before a boxing match and after it their dad called him a disgrace for ruining their family with all the violence in his heart, the poor rabbi then suffered a heart attack. After this period in his life, Marc took the skills he acquired from the Marine Corps and went on to become a fierce mercenary. In Africa, he met a French mercenary, Jean-Paul " Frenchie" DuChamp, who would become one of Marc's closest friends, and later became Marc's pilot. While working for the terrorist Raoul Bushman, Marc began to question his choices. In Selima, Sudan, they stumbled across archaeologist Dr. Peter Alraune's excavation of an Egyptian Pharaoh's tomb. There, Bushman killed the archaeologist. Marc, feeling guilty, attempted to help Alraune's daughter, Marlene Alraune, escape. Annoyed with Marc's betrayal, Bushman beat Spector and left him in the desert to die. Barely conscious, Spector managed to return to the ancient tomb. Marlene was there with her father's men and brought Marc to rest near a statue of the moon god, Khonshu. Weak from his fight with Bushman and the elements of the desert, Spector died. As Marlene cried over his body, Spector suddenly came back to life. It was his belief that Khonshu had brought him back from the dead in order to be the moon's Knight of Vengeance. Spector removed a cloak from the statue of Khonshu and confronted Bushman again, and this time, he came out of the encounter victorious, and thus Moon Knight was born. Returning to the United States with Marlene and Frenchie, the trio decided to fight a war against evil. Spector used his vast fortune that he had collected during his mercenary days to create some aliases to infiltrate different aspects of society. One persona was that of Steven Grant, a New York millionaire. In the guise of Grant, Spector was able to make high profile contacts. Spector also created the persona of Jake Lockley, a New York cab driver. Through Lockley, he was able to make several contacts "on the streets." It appeared that the act of juggling the different persona's put a strain on Spector's mental health.

Powers and Abilities:

Moon Knight has been highly trained in hand-to-hand combat throughout his careers as a boxer, marine, and CIA agent. He is not the conventional hero, as he will use drastic means and violence to stop criminals.

Due to his multiple personalities, Moon Knight has developed some protection against psychic assaults. When he became the Fist of Khonshu, he adopted powers derived from the moon itself. Moon Knight had enhanced strength, stamina, and reflexes based on the phase of the moon. He is at his strongest during a full moon, as he could lift the weight of 2 tons and at normal strength when there is a no moon, where he could lift around 700 lbs. He can also see magical beings that normal humans cannot see and possesses night vision as well. Moon Knight can also become invisible in a shadowed area.

Weapons and Equipment:
His mode of transportation is the Mooncopter that is mainly piloted by Frenchie but has had different pilot's operate for him and Angelwing that is a smaller version of the Mooncopter but he can pilot it or by remote control. He is also an expert at throwing weapons especially his trademark crescent darts that he also uses to carve his crescent moon signature on his defeated foes and at one point to carve his nemesis' face off. While he was the Fist of Khonshu, he was given ancient Egyptian weapons by the followers of Khonshu, but later retires these items to be replaced to more updated weapons.
