#MoonKnight

I can’t believe marvel is finally doing moon knight, I never thought he would be popular enough to justify it but I’m excited nonetheless

[qwertyisaboss]

I wonder if Moon Knight will be made more powerful in the show. It looks like he can manifest his weapons almost to an unlimited potential, leap from building to building and is completely bulletproof.

[michaelbatts]

His connection to Khonshu is so strong that Khonshu resurrects him every time he dies. This is a sort of immortality.

[Montalvodiving]

Moon Knight's power is at the Cosmic scale, as long as the Avatar does what Khonshu wants. If the avatar disobey khonshu's orders his powers will be at the human scale. Marc Spector is a billionaire, so when he refuses Khonshu's orders he literally becomes the Batman of marvel universe, using technological gadgets to fight.

That's why moon knights powers are so inconsistent, Sometimes he is a Cosmic Being and sometimes he is just a more violent Batman.

[calebstephan]

Don't forget that moon knight is immortal as well. Due to his pact with khonshu he can't die. Well to be more specific he can die but everytime he does he just gets resurrected. Also don't forget moon knights most impressive run recently where khonshu ramped up his absorption ability to the point where he absorbed several heroes powers like doctor strange, iron fist, ghost rider etc. Moon knight can be a cosmic level being depending on how much power khonshu decides to grant him.

[FinancialShinanigan]

Hope they show Moon Knight taking hits but just tanking through them like he does in the comics. Big reason why Taskmaster hates fighting him.

[doomgod]

I like how he's his comics are so inconsistent that even marvel doesn't know how powerful he is

[Kamukix]

The thing that did it for me was indeed when he fought Taskmaster. I always thought he was cool...but that art and that issue cemented how badass he really is. (I freaking LOVE me some Taskmaster, and that issue with the two of them fighting has stuck in my head for YEARS, amazing artwork, amazing)

[ozog]

Moon knight is a very underrated character he deserves more fanbase

[teddykgb]

He was in Avengers recently and picked off every Avenger one by one over the course of several issues; it was epic. Not sure how you missed it.

[quasar]

Great actor, great comic character, great era for cinematography, this is going to be so kick ass!!

[mrv]

After watching Moonknight in Disney+, he has become a favorite marvel character of mine. MoonKnight is very awesome and incredible character. I really hope that after the show is over they make a second season or have him appear with the Avengers.

[zzirfamo]

Are we going to forget about the time he fought Thor?? Thor threw his hammer at MK and he stopped his hammer on a dime mid-air using his powers. He could be one of the most powerful if Khonshu gave him all his power.

[corruptcamerupt]

I think one of my favorite moon knight moment might be when he used Thor’s hammer even though he wasn’t worthy, he could use it cause apparently he could control moonstone and that’s what the hammer was made of.

[paulmcfadden]

He was my fav in the 70's when I started collecting comics. So different with his mental health issues and the fact that it took decades to work out just how strong he was. Brilliant video mate.

[TroyNaumu]

Considering that every time he dies Khonshu simply ressurects him i would say that is a pretty good power. Might be why he wears all white. He does not care if the enemy sees him coming. He cant die. As long as he serves Khonshu he is effectively immortal and powerful and 'nigh unstoppable.

[momo.ru-kun]

I always believed that his powers were just imaginary because of his mental state, his lunacy makes him think crazy things which makes him stronger and fearless. Similar to Bendis run where he believed he was fighting with imaginary Avengers, but he made a makeshift webshooter, a fake captain america shield to represent them in his mind. In his mind he was beating his enemies, but witnesses saw that he was getting beaten to a pulp. Like the Joker he is an unreliable narrator, since eyewitnesses always had a different story. A crazy nutcase will believe he is Superman, and the power of the mind can in fact make you do crazy feats beyond reason.

[williampabon]

I used to read his comics back in the 70s, i cant believe he is on screen now. One of my favorites and underappreciated heroes.

[dorksanddragons]

"Broke his arm like a strand of uncooked spaghetti" is the best.

[MandatoryFruit]

Hopefully his power scaling is a bit more consistent in the show. Still by far my most anticipated Marvel project since No Way Home.
