Let's Take a Look at 6 Facts About 'MOON KNIGHT', the Newest Superhero in the MCU with the Power of Egyptian Gods

Kapanlagi.com - Marvel Cinematic Universe fans will welcome a new hero in the Disney+ series. He is MOON KNIGHT, a Lunar Avenger who will make his first appearance on the screen. With Oscar Isaac portraying Marc Spector, the MCU will be more colorful and diverse.

Many say that Batman and Moon Knight are similar. But actually, the only similarity is the fact that they both act at night and have serious emotional burdens. Besides that, they also like to take matters into their own hands when fighting villains.

MOON KNIGHT is a unique superhero with a complex personality. So let's explore some interesting facts about the character who will debut in the fourth phase of the MCU.

1. Dissociative Identity Disorder/Multiple Personality Disorder

MOON KNIGHT alias Marc Spector suffers from dissociative identity disorder (DID) or multiple personality disorder. In Marvel, there are also Deadpool and Scarlet Witch who have similar disorders.

This condition started when Marc was a child. At that time, he knew that a family friend was a Nazi defector and attacker of Jewish people. He struggled to survive, and that's when his DID began. When he was about to be admitted to a mental hospital, he saw Khonshu for the first time.

2. Assassin

Although he is a superhero, Marc Spector used to be a hired mercenary. And unlike Batman, he has no problem killing his enemies.

He obtained his superpower when someone working for him decided that they wanted the treasures of Egypt and betrayed him by slaughtering an entire village to obtain it. Spector confronted him and paid for it with his life, until he was saved by the Egyptian god, Khonshu.

3. Power from the Moon

MOON KNIGHT operates at night because the power he possesses can only be used under the influence of the moon. Although eventually he can use it during the day, he has to deal with various problems related to this weakness.

Since his power comes from the moon, it means that during a full moon, he will be at his strongest. When the moon is not visible, he can lift weights up to 453 kg. But when the full moon arrives, he gains strength and can lift weights up to 1,814 kg.

4. White Cloak

It's quite strange to see a hero who acts at night wearing a white costume. And the reason is not because the color is similar to the color of the moon, you know.

Spector revealed his reason when he spoke to Hawkeye about his costume. The reason he wears white clothes is not to hide, but so that his enemies know who is coming. Because of his brutal fighting style, it can be ensured that his enemies will be frightened when they see him coming.

5. Secret Avengers

Moon Knight is one of the strange characters like Wolverine, who likes to be alone but believe it or not, he has joined the Avengers. He was able to join the superhero team after Steve Rogers, alias Captain America, recruited him.
Then he became one of the secret agents of the Avengers who worked alone in Los Angeles. However, it seems that this story will not be told in his Disney+ series considering he was recruited along with some X-Men members. But it is not impossible to have interactions with Avengers members.

6. Equipment

There is an interesting fact about the weapons used by MOON KNIGHT. The gear he uses was made 5,000 years ago by Hawkeye. The story goes that when the Avengers traveled back in time to ancient Egypt, he created weapons for the priests to use in self-defense, and 5,000 years later, those weapons were given to MOON KNIGHT.

Unlike Black Panther's suit made of vibranium, MOON KNIGHT's suit is made of adamantium. In case you forgot, adamantium is the same material as Wolverine's claws, so its strength is unquestionable.
