I am Marc Spector. I am Steven Grant. I am Jake Lockley. And we are going to be okay. We are going to live with who we are. We are Moon Knight. And we never needed you.

Background

Marc was raised by a Rabbi who always chose against violence even despite the persecution he faced, Throughout his childhood Marc believed that his father was a weakling and a coward. When he grew older he enlisted in the US Military and on one of his missions he was left for dead by a ruthless African general named Raul Bushman. However, He was soon resurrected by the god of the Moon Khonshu to be his avatar on Earth.

Marc Spector has Dissociative Identity Disorder or D.I.D which manifests as multiple personalities. These personalities include Steven Grant a millionaire entrepreneur and Jake Lockley a Taxi driver. His mental illness can cause him immense psychological stress and can make him mentally unstable.

Codex Statistics

Tier: Varies, usually 8-A. Far Higher with Resolve

Cardinality: Varies

Attack Potency: Varies (It is directly noted in "The End", there is a balance between good and evil where even when evil grows stronger, heroes will also grow stronger and even come back from the dead if need be to stop the new evils, keeping a balance between good and evil[1]. Thor has noted that a ones strength is relative to the need for it, if he has to he can stand on Jupiter, he can stand on anything if the need is great and the cause is just, as can anyone else, not being measured by strength nor raw power but rather measured by what they do[2]. It is noted by Stan Lee in response to the questions of "who would win in a fight?" is the person the writer decides to win[3], with the meta aspect of Marvel Comics being acknowledged[4]), usually City District level (Should be comparable to Wolverine who had previously managed to survive a punch which sent him flyingfrom New York to Georgia in just a minute. Was able to harm Bullseye with his punches. At the end of this fight Bullseye survived an explosion that had effected 20 city blocks which was this powerful[5]. Fought evenly against Daredevil and managed to harm him[6]. Daredevil and the rest of the Defenders survived an explosion this powerful without a scratch. Fought and defeated Deadpool in a sword fight [7] who previously survived a massive explosion completely unscathed, only being harmed from the fall from the top of the Empire State Building. Deadpool also managed to survive being sent flying from New Mexico to Arizona in a short time-frame.). Far Higher with Resolve (Heroes are noted to be able to defy all logic and reason, to find some hidden well of strength and resolve allowing them to break through things they shouldn't be able to[8], Mephisto directly notes that a hero can reach deep into themself and find untapped reserves of strength that allows them to "lift the impossible weight"[9]. It is shown in "HOW TO READ COMICS THE MARVEL WAY #4", Spider-Man notes how when he has to call upon all of the inner strength within himself[10]. Spider-Man noted how when he knew he couldn't let Aunt May down he reached deep inside of himself and do the impossible and do anything to save the ones he loves[11]. Thor just having a motivational speech from Peter Parker amplifies him to easily defeat M.Y.T.H.O.S.[12], when he couldn't beat him beforehand[13]. Conan noted that the human will can be greater than any physical strength, even sorcery[14]. When Morlun was about to kill Spider-Man, he remembered his friends and family and got a resolve boost to start overpowering him[15]. The Thing through his heart alone when he was about to turn back into Ben Grimm was able to beat The Hulk in one punch who he admitted was stronger then him[16]. When Spider-Man in the first Sam Raimi movies loved ones are endangered Peter becomes far more powerful being capable of completely stomping someone who was previously stomping him[17]. Raimi Spider-Man in Marvel Cinematic Universe was originally defeated by Green Goblin, and in their next fight when completely angered, easily beat him down and was going to kill him if Raimi Spider-Man didn't stop him). Can negate durability with his adamantium darts

Durability: Varies, usually City District level (Should obviously scale to his Attack Potency. Can tank punches from Deadpool [18] who should scale to his own durability because of fighting people who can harm him. Has also tanked attacks from Bullseye and Daredevil). Far Higher with Resolve

Striking Strength: Varies, usually City District Class (Is capable of fighting against Daredevil, Bullseye and Deadpool). Far Higher with Resolve

Lifting Strength: Varies, usually Class 10 (Lifted a Metal Door weighing over 7000 Kg. Should upscale from Daredevil who lifted a 400 pound weight casually). Far Higher with Resolve

Travel Speed: Varies, usually Unknown. Far Higher with Resolve

Attack Speed: Varies, usually Faster Than Light (Fought evenly with Daredevil who can react down to the nanosecond. From scaling to Deadpool he should be comparable to Captain America who had blocked Cyclops' lightspeed Optic Beams which would make him this fast). Far Higher with Resolve

Reaction Speed: Varies, usually Faster Than Light (Was able to dodge Iron Man's Repulsor Blasts which have been stated to move at the Speed of Light. Fought evenly with Daredevil who can react down to the nanosecond. From scaling to Deadpool he should be comparable to Captain America who had blocked Cyclops' lightspeed Optic Beams which would make him this fast). Far Higher with Resolve

Stamina: Superhuman. Can tank being stabbed, getting shot by a crossbow, and getting shot in the leg without too much effect.

Range: Standard Melee, Higher with his weapons

Intelligence: Above Average Intelligence (Is an expert detective who is very knowledgeable of the streets thanks to Jake Lockley's job as a Taxi Driver. He is fluent in Symkarian and Arabic.)


Powers and Techniques


Equipment

  • Costume: His costume was originally composed of Kevlar which made him mostly bullet-proof. However, he has since upgraded his armour to be made out of Carbonadium.
  • Glider Cloak: Allows Moon Knight to slow down the velocity of a fall or glide across the air.
  • Crescent Darts: Moon-shaped projectiles which he can throw at his enemies.
  • Truncheon: This device essentially acts as a single club, nunchaku and a grappling hook along with other features for combat.
  • Ultrasonic Weapons: Has Ultrasonic weapons loud enough to harm The Hulk.

Optional Equipment

  • Crescent Launcher Pistols: He carries two pistols which can fire out his Crescent Darts at his foes. They also cables that allow him to grapple, trip or pin his foes to surfaces.
  • Energy Shield: Gifted to him by Buck Lime, it acts similar to Captain America's Vibranium Shield.
  • Golden Ankh: The Golden Ankh warns its user of danger by glowing in instances of "mortal danger".

Other
