Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Marc Spector, AKA the Moon Knight, is a lesser-known Marvel Comics superhero who debuted in Werewolf by Night vol. 1 #32 (August, 1975). He was created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin. Spector was once a U.S. Marine, but quit and became a mercenary when he went to Egypt. There, he befriended French pilot Jean-Paul DuChamp, often referred to simply as "Frenchie", while working for Raoul Bushman. The trio soon found an archaeological dig that unearthed a temple that contained a statue of the moon god Khonshu. Bushman decided to loot the site, and in so doing, killed the lead researcher, Dr. Alraune. In response, Spector picked a fight with Bushman that did not go as well as planned.As Spector lay dying, Khonshu appeared to him in a vision and offered to bring him back to life if he became the god's avatar on Earth. He did. After repaying his new Arch-Enemy Bushman, he went back to America with Frenchie and the late Dr. Alraune's daughter Marlene. Deciding to become a crime-fighter, Spector created a silver cloaked costume and became the Moon Knight. Ashamed of his mercenary past, he invested the money he acquired from those jobs, developed a small fortune, and created the identity of Steven Grant, as well as the other identity of common taxicab driver Jake Lockley.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Later incarnations have had him lose his grip on reality and treat each of these personae as different people, among other identities crafted to suit his needs. He's commonly seen as a Captain Ersatz of Batman, due to the "millionaire playboy" Steven Grant personality and cape-wearing, overly-thematic nighttime vigilantism. Strictly speaking he has a lot more in common with The Shadow, also the chief inspiration for Batman, but writers have often used him for a sideways commentary on DC's greatest Cowl, usually as a contrast - people may ask if Batman is as crazy as the villains he fights, but Moon Knight definitely is.He also entered the spotlight (kind of) as an official member of Captain America's Secret Avengers after Siege. In 2014, he got a new ongoing series with the first six issues by Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey. After them, it became a rotating writer/artist book, with Brian Wood and Greg Smallwood doing #7-13 and Cullen Bunn and Ron Ackins doing #14-17. Declan Shalvey remained on covers for a while and Jordie Bellaire on colours. Each issue was a done-in-one adventure (with some recurring background plots) rather than the more common arc-based structure.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Jeff Lemire wrote a new Moon Knight series post-Secret Wars, with Greg Smallwood returning as the artist. The series went back to Marvel's typical arc-based structure.After Lemire's run finished, Max Bemis and Jacen Burrows took over creative team duties in time for the Marvel Legacy initiative, which returned Moon Knight to his all-white costume and traditional superheroics in contrast to Lemire's Mind Screw and Ellis's Genre Throwback to The Shadow (kinda).In August 2019, it was announced that a Moon Knight series was in development at Disney+ for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, premiering sometime in 2021-2022.Has a character page in need of some love. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_14beeefd | comment |
His series has grown Darker and Edgier since the mid-2010's, and unlike some other examples this has been an improvement as a side-effect has been that his stories have been more tightly written and there's a more cinematic film-noir quality to it, while his transformation into a cold-blooded killer is fitting. This contrasts with his previous treatment in the Marvel Universe where he's been seen as little more than a schizophrenic loser and C-List Fodder. | |

Man in White: His suit is as white as the moon. He does it so his targets can see him coming, and their fear is a much better tool for him than sneaking up in the shadows. Given his violent tendencies, it's hard to say if Light Is Good or not. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: A Civil War II tie-in has Nick Fury explaining that Moon Knight was stuck in an asylum at the moment. The actual 2016 Jeff Lemire run never actually explains if the asylum was real or just part of Marc Spector's delusions in his mental journey to kill Khonshu. The gigantic Mind Screw attitude of the series doesn't help to give clues or answers. | |

Alternate Company Equivalent | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_200c8312 | comment |
Alternate Company Equivalent: Of another "knight", but with Divergent Character Evolution leading to some heavy shades of Deconstruction and Foil. Both are Terror Heroes, but Batman fights from darkness, while Moon Knight wears white so people see him coming. While Batman has his entire (Bat-)family, as well as his friends in the Justice League, Moon Knight is a perennial D-lister with no friends, and a third-string Avenger. And while (most) writers portray Batman to be (in the context of his weird universe) actually entirely sane and rational, Moon Knight is the cape-wearing vigilante if his sanity was legitimately unstable. With the most recent volume started by Ellis and the 'Mister Knight' persona a case can be made he is also one for Steve Ditko creation 'Mr. A'. | |

Ambiguously Jewish: Marc's the son of a rabbi, but he isn't very religious (unless you count his devotion to Khonshu). In some of the flashbacks in the 2016 series, he's seen wearing a kippah. And after his father dies, Marc goes to attend his shiva. | |

C-List Fodder | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_2f4d2172 | comment |
C-List Fodder: Often referenced in his own series. He even recalls his time as an Avenger: "Sent me to the West coast B team." He finally made it to the A-List as a member of the Secret Avengers. The only problem is that nobody else knows he's A-list now. In his 2011 series, he finds himself unwittingly up against Count Nefaria, a man who has taken on the Avengers in the past (as in: all of them, at once, by himself), who is more than a little irate his plans are being tripped up by someone he didn't even recognise at first. Echo, frequent guest star of the same series. Played for Laughs when she calls the Avengers mansion under her real name. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_2f94135c | comment |
Thou Shalt Not Kill: A notable aversion. Moon Knight doesn't like killing and generally tries as hard as possible to avoid it, but unlike most superheroes he's willing to kill. Khonshu often tries to advance this willingness into becoming a full-blown Blood Knight who kills any crook that crosses paths with him, but Marc usually resists it. When he doesn't well... bad things happen. For example; in the prologue to the "The Bottom" arc, Moon Knight is almost defeated by his nemesis Bushman, but saves himself at the last minute by carving Bushman's face off with a crescent knife. | |

Split Personality | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_370aad9 | comment |
Split Personality: Depending on the Writer, Marc will have alternate identities living in his head. The most common being millionaire Steven Grant and cab-driver Jake Lockley. In Ultimate Marvel, Moon Knight has 5 different personalities, including a little girl. With no eyes. In the 2011-2012 series, Marc Spector, Captain America, Wolverine, and Spider-Man. Interestingly, they are aware of each other, and other than Marc usually just provide advice. When Echo is killed, Wolverine destroys the other two and drives Marc into Unstoppable Rage. Eventually Wolverine, Echo, and Iron Man become Marc's new alternate selves. In the 2014 series, Marc switches to having Steven Grant, Jake Lockley, and Khonshu himself in his head. The 2016 run thus far has only had Khonshu and Marc, although considering the circumstances... Through flashbacks, which should be taken with a grain of salt, it's revealed that Marc has had the separate personalities of Steven Grant and Jake Lockley for most of his life, dating back to even when he was a boy. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: In the Ellis books, Moon Knight was tasting a lot of Doc Martens thanks to some vicious ghost-punks. After getting some ancient Egyptian ghost-busting gear, he returns the favor and then some. Including smashing one ghost's head clean off its shoulders and punching another's arm right out of the socket. The ghosts are so terrified even after reforming at the site of their death, they do nothing but hide in a wall as Moon Knight walks in to shut down the item causing their spirits to manifest. | |

Crazy-Prepared | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_50f66629 | comment |
Crazy-Prepared: Literally in Issue 3 of Volume 5. When Spector encountered a gang of punk ghosts that was terrorizing a neighborhood, he got his ass kicked because they could hit him while his blows pass harmlessly through them. After stumbling back home, he has a little pep talk with Khonshu who tells Spector that he doesn't need any help. Over the years, Spector had been collecting Egyptian armour and artifacts without understanding why or even remembering that he did so. Some of those old Egyptian items have the power to affect ghosts. So cue round 2 and Moon Knight all decked out... | |

I Work Alone: Often Subverted. Despite his loner identity and typically taking on most of the hard work on missions, Moon Knight openly relies on his partner Frenchie. He even adopts a sidekick at one point. In Marvel Knights he practically begs Daredevil to let him on the team. Played straight from Ellis's run onwards. His car and aircraft are all run by autopilots and he has no one else at his base. | |

Through the Eyes of Madness: The Post-Secret Wars run. Marc Spector is in an insane asylum being treated for delusions. Or is he? The other residents of the asylum are his associates, and if he wears a homemade mask the orderlies look like jackals. And good ol' New York is covered in sand and pyramids. The surreal art style doesn't help in determining what is real and what is not. | |

Empowered Badass Normal: At various points in the past, Khonshu has also empowered him with superhuman strength based on the waxing of the moon, night vision, limited invisibility, and a Healing Factor. Since Warren Ellis' run, he has displayed certain supernatural gifts like the ability to see ghosts and speak to the dead. | |

Jerkass Gods: In the arc "The Bottom", Khonshu is revealed to be something of a Jerkass God, as well as a Blood Knight. The is furthered in Brian Wood's run when Khonshu is willing to abandon Moon Knight as his avatar for the Doctor instead because she is willing to be more bloodthirsty. It doesn't last for long, but the God sways long enough to make things difficult for "his son". This continues in Cullen Bunn's run where Moon Knight encounters there are other followers of Khonshu besides himself, including a monster that preys on children and a twisted cult. | |

Wham Episode: The "Gods And Country" arc; Carson Knowles returns and nearly destroys New York, forcing Moon Knight to kill him by shoving him off a building on national television. This is seen by Iron Man, bringing the full force of SHIELD and other registered heroes down on Moon Knight's head. The "Death Of Marc Spector" arc; after a brutal battle with Bullseye, Moon Knight fakes his death and travels to Mexico. Marlene, Frenchie, and Ray Landers all cut ties with Marc believing him to be dead. Issue 9 of the Bendis run; Count Nefaria kills Echo, causing Marc to absolutely lose it with his aggressive personality outright destroying his other personality aspects. Issue 6 of the Ellis run; Black Spectre launches an all-out attack on Moon Knight. Just three issues later, in Issue #9, Moon Knight's psychiatrist manages to convince Khonshu to work with her rather than Marc. Issue 5 of the All-New All Different series. It appears that the Marc Spector personality has committed suicide, paving the way for the Khonshu aspect to completely take over his body and trap Steven Grant and Jake Lockley elsewhere. Issue 14: Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley, and Moon Knight kill Khonshu. Issue 3 of Bemis run ends on the reveal that Marc and Marlene have a young daughter. | |

Revisiting the Roots | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_8eb3d48f | comment |
Revisiting the Roots: Max Bemis's run (part of Marvel Legacy) quietly dispenses with Warren Ellis and Jeff Lemire's status quo shake ups to return the character to his traditional superhero adventures. This results in Khonshu being revived without explanation, the Mr. Knight persona seemingly forgotten in favor of the original identities of Spector, Grant, and Lockley, and the introduction of more fantastical elements such as a pyrokinetic nemesis for Moon Knight. This is also exemplified by the decision to ditch Declan Shalvey's redesign for a return to the original all-white costume. | |

However, Ronin eventually comes back to "wake up" Moon Knight again.

Heroic Bystander: Upon being attacked by three supervillains at once, Moon Knight manages to defeat two of them but is tied up by Coachwhip's electrical coils. Coachwhip is about to fry Moon Knight when a bystander sprays her with a hose, shorting out her equipment and knocking her out from the feedback. | |

Evil Costume Switch: His sidekick, Midnight. Oddly enough, it hasn't happened to Moon Knight himself in the 616-universe. In the Ultimate universe, at one point he creates a fake villain persona known as Ronin in order to work his way into the Kingpin's organization and ends up Becoming the Mask. | |

Retcon: Marc's mental illness goes through this back and fourth between Warren Ellis' revamp and later Jeff Lemire's relaunch. Ellis openly disliked Marc apparently 'catching' DID by pretending to be other people and so explained this as the result of Khonshu's influence. Lemire, who found the mental illness aspect interesting, brought it back, explaining that Marc had been suffering DID before he became Khonshu's avatar, with 'Stephen Grant' first emerging while he was in school (thus, not the result of him 'catching' it or the result of Khonshu). Its not quite reached Armed with Canon yet, though. | |

No Social Skills: Due to his poor mental state, Marc has a hard time forming emotional bonds and generally isn't good with people. Even his longtime friendship and relationship with Frenchie and Marlene respectively fell apart after about a decade. He realizes this, but considers it necessary; people close to him tend to get hurt, so he doesn't care if he's alone as long as they're safe. He's not even good at dealing with other members of the superhero community, many of whom openly shun him. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Issue 5 of the Ellis run is one big homage to The Raid, with director Gareth Evans' name written in graffiti in one point. (Declan Shalvey is a vocal fan of the film.) Issue Six of Lemire's run has Executive Producer Steven Grant talk about Marvel Studios and mentions Ant-Man. Though by the tone of the dialogue, it comes off as a minor Take That, Us. In Fist of Khonshu #6, Moon Knight quotes his chief inspiration, with a little twist at the end: One storyline in the 1990s series had Moon Knight encountering multiple alternate Moon Knights, many of whom were references to other heroes ("Mr Spector" is The Spirit; Moon Man is Golden Age Batman; Dark Moon is The Dark Knight Returns Batman; Moon Ghost is Space Ghost.) | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Depending on the Writer, Moon Knight is either a magically enhanced Avatar of an Egyptian Moon God, or he's a lunatic who thinks he is. Regardless, he's always an Ax-Crazy Badass with multiple personalities, but the main thing that changes is if he's a Badass Normal or not. YMMV on which is the more interesting interpretation. | |

Expy | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: While he is commonly referred to as a Batman-expy, he has far more in common with Batman's own inspiration, The Shadow. Both are darker vigilantes with varying degrees of brutality depending on the adaptation, driven partially by a desire to atone for their pasts, related to mystical concepts that can be explained psychologically, varying degrees of super abilities, and who may or may not be paladins of higher mystical entities, depending on the version. Moon Knight, like The Shadow, relies on a close network of agents (outright referred to as the "Shadow Cabinet"), some of which include close friends and people aware of his secret identity, and a complicated relationship with a romantic interest. Additionally, Moon Knight also employs multiple identities in his missions via his different personalities. | |

Unexplained Recovery: The entirety of Jeff Lemire's run built up to and ended with Marc and his personas killing Khonshu, freeing themselves of his negative influence (don't worry about whether he's an actual Egyptian god or a representation of Marc's mental illness for now). Max Bemis's run inexplicably revives him with little to no explanation as to why he's back and serving as the ringleader of Marc's personalities again. Or why he's benevolent once more. | |

Flanderization | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Due to many unfamiliar writers knowing nothing about Moon Knight besides his insanity, many of his brief appearances where he doesn't play much of a role results in him being shown as an almost complete joke whose mental illness turns him into a goofy Cloudcuckoolander. Doctor Strange: Damnation for instance has him acting suspiciously more like Deadpool than anything. | |

True Sight: In the post-Secret Wars run, Marc with his mask off sees a regular Bedlam House with cruel orderlies who give him electro-shock therapy and other tortures. Moon Knight with his mask on sees Jackal demons running a prison in Neo-Egypt. | |

Exact Words | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Around the time of Civil War, one issue had Marc Specter telling his friends that he would die that night. Of course he said nothing about Jake Lockley. | |

Self-Made Man: Moon Knight uses his bottomless pit of blood money that he has earned over the years as mercenary to protect the travellers of the night. The treasures and artifacts of Khonshu belongs to him as well, as he discovered them and was chosen by Khonshu to act as his avatar. | |

Weapon of Choice | |
| Moon Knight / Comicbook / int_f6ec1b9 | comment |
Weapon of Choice: His arsenal is pretty unstable, having used a spiked gauntlet, a bow, guns that fire bolas, and a whole bunch of other weapons. His main weapons, however, are are a truncheon that can become a grappling hook or nunchuks, and "crescent darts", shuriken shaped like a crescent moon. In the Secret Avengers, he uses a gun that shoots crescent shocktoxin darts. At one point in the Secret Avengers he uses an energy shield, web-shooters, and metal claws. | |
