A look inside the complicated history of MoonKnight – DisneyPlus' new superhero
is surprising for a number of reasons, not least of which is the fact that, even for fans of the character, it’s far from clear just who will be appearing onscreen when the show debuts.
If nothing else, it should be noted Moon Knight is an unusual choice for his own series if only for the fact that he is historically a character that’s proven to be a tough sell for Marvel, despite its many attempts to convince audiences that they needed acomic book in their life; in the past two decades alone, there have been no less than six different series, with the character being repositioned and recreated in ways both subtle and dramatic in an attempt to find what would compel readers to...
Whether or not he has superpowers is also a question that has different answers at different times, with those powers having different origins when they reappear: Does he have moon-based super strength because he was bitten by a werewolf, or because he’s been blessed by a moon god? The answer, for those curious, is yes to both.
If there’s a relative constant in Moon Knight’s history, it’s the lack of consistency. For the majority of his comic book existence, his mental state could best be described as “troubled,” if not outright fractured, to the point of the Marc Spector personality disappearing for significant stretches altogether, replaced either by “Khonshu” or the Jake Lockley persona.
Of course, if that doesn’t appeal to Marvel Studios, there’s also the fact that Moon Knight has been a member of three different Avengers teams throughout his varied career, appearing normal in each incarnation, so there’s always the potential to just portray him as a straightforward superhero with a particularly bright wardrobe. It’s good to have options, after all.
