Spotlight On...MOON KNIGHT!

[Monolith]

In the deserts of the Sudan, Marc Spector died at the foot of a statute to Khonshu, Egyptian God of the Moon, only to rise again as the Moon's Knight of vengeance. This relatively simple premise has been interpreted numerous ways over the years, taking Moon Knight away from being just Marvel's "Batman in White". Marc Spector has come to be defined by his mental health, fragmenting into separate personalities and losing faith in whether Khonshu is just another voice in his head or the divine influence of his personal God. The answer, it seems, is sometimes both. From his brief tenure with the West Coast Avengers to his later black ops work with the Secret Avengers, Spector has often associated with Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but never for very long. In the end, he will always owe a greater allegiance to...a higher power. Wrapping up our West Coast Avengers theme month, here's the Spotlight On...MOON KNIGHT.

I've always liked Moon Knight, he's one of those characters that IMHO is underrated and underused. I'm hoping the upcoming Avengers story and planned TV show don't divert too much from his established canon.

[WorldWideWade]

Very interesting. Can't wait to read this as he is a character constantly being redefined. If anyone can unravel a confusing backstory it's Monolith.

I love the article and not trying to be a jerk but uh... it kept switching between "Gena" and "Gina" for the one character and I don't know which one is right.

[Monolith]

Hmm. Good catch, Ring. It should be Gena's Diner.
