I love how Taskmaster hates fighting Moon Knight, because once when Taskmaster began to copy Moon Knights fighting style, he quickly realized Moon Knight is more inclined to take a punch rather than dodge it.

So many heroes are located in New York it should be the safest place on earth lol

[mrace]

6 years later...he got exactly that his own marvel series how fitting he spoke it into existence!!!💪🏾💪🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾

You missed out some VERY important key points.

1. Moon Knight's strength, endurance, and reflexes are enhanced depending upon the different phases of the moon. The fuller the moon, the more strength Moon Knight derives from it. Even during a new moon, he is able to lift several hundred pounds (pretty much peak physical conditioning) but depending on how full the moon is, his strength is enhanced to minor superhuman level, with a full moon being at his peak.
He has been stripped of this ability before but at times he has gained this ability back.

2. Moon Knight is that good at hand to hand combat that he is one of the very few characters (along with Deadpool) to beat Taskmaster (who has the ability to copy any of his foe's fighting styles) in a straight up fist fight. Taskmaster refuses to copy his fighting style and at times even refused to fight him altogether as Moon Knight will often rather take a punch than block or dodge it, if it means getting the upper hand on his opponent.

3. Going back to number 2, due to Moon Knight's brawler fighting style and allowing himself to get hit means he's often susceptible to deadly blows and can often lead him to being knocked out. Due to his multiple personality disorder he has the ability that if one of his personalities is knocked out during a fight, he will immediately regain consciousness, as one of his other personalities will take over allowing him to continue the fight.

These are some of the key defining features of the character and I wonder how on earth did you miss them!?

You forgot to mention that Moon Knight has supernatural powers. He has superhuman strength and physicality that waxes and wanes with the moon phases. Even on the night of a new moon, he has enhanced physicality. He also has a vast knowledge of magic and the world of the supernatural. Why can't anyone remember that Moon Knight does have powers?!!!!

Moon knight should have his own Netflix series!

Edit: yes I know he's finally coming to Disney plus, super excited.

[thathighguy]

Who’s here after the Moon Knight trailer! This is going to be sick, I can’t wait.

[Horror]

I don't really connect Moon Knight and Batman. Batman is pretty clear about not sinking to the level of criminals by killing. Meanwhile, not only does Moon Knight kill, he also mutilates the bodies, carving the moon insignia into their foreheads in the name of Khonsu. Just as well, Moon Knight's storyline is, at least to me, much much darker than Batman's. Batman's stories delve into darkness and depression and all that, but Moon Knight practically lives in it. He's violent, brutal, insane (not in the fun Joker way), depressed, and overall just a really dark character. Batman's dark parts still maintain an almost fantastical gleam, while Moon Knight's dark parts keep you up at night.

Moon knight finally getting he’s own tv show on Disney+

[thatsupersamoan]

most under rated Marvel comic book character ever. Now a history of Iron Fist would be good and you should do an episode with Marvel best friends

[shaynelawrence]

‘Deserves a Netflix series’ 6 years later… variant comics been ahead of the game

[TuShan]

I remember when I was a kid, I played marvel ultimate alliance and saw him for the first time. I just thought "Wow this guy looks freakin cool!" I then did some research and came to the conclusion that he is a criminally underrated character in Marvel.

[lancem]

Moon Knight is so underrated. He's my 2nd favorite Superhero ever.

[OliKidsley]

I don't see Moon Knight that much of Batman clone as everyone thinks he is. Sure he's rich and has gadgets to fight crime in the night but unlike Batman, Moon Knight has some serious mental issues and is heavily involved with a god and that sort of weird magical voodoo stuff every day of his life. His Marvel Now run just shows how different he is to Batman in tone and stories, Moon Knight feels so contained and small but just as important.

[lovleen]

Moon Knight is gonna be so popular when his show comes out, finally ppl will recognize his iconic story

[yellowgetbright]

''He needs his own movie/ tv series.''
MCU: *Wish Granted.*

[HustleSolo]

Who else came here after watching rdcworld's video?

[RanjMN]

Marvel should tease us when one of the Avengers take a cab ride in the Avengers movie and the cab driver is called "Jake Lockley".

[whatthewhatthe]

Moon knight then: a brooding Batman merc with skills, valor, and dr. Fate’s origin.

Moon knight now: random bullshit go

[WASDKap]

Came here after the 1st episode of Moon Knight. Awesome character. Hope this series turn out great!!!
