In case anybody doesn't know about the Shroud, he tangled with the West Coast Avenger's awhile back. He is blind and possesses mystical abilities as well as being able to disperse a dark cloud around himself rendering everything black.
This is the Moonknight of old. Not the new dude

My money is on the Shroud

Moon Knight of old? Who are you talking about? How far back are you going with MK?

He has the original version and a new issue that came out in '06. He is apparently more bloodlust and bad ass. I dunno much about the new version just the old one of the late eighties

The Fake Macoy
You mean as he appeared in his original series then. So ignore everything from when he got superpowers onwards. Also, there has only ever been one MK, just written differently.

Questioneer
The Shroud again takes this.

The Shroud was a match for Moon Knight even on a night of the full moon. There wasn't a move Moon Knight could dish out that Shroud couldn't counter. It basically went to a stale only as a plot driver.

Moon Knight admitted Shroud was a better fighter and he would have lost right away if he (Moon Knight) wasn't at peak power that night.

Nice match-up idea, even if Moon Knight is underpowered here. The main thing that Moon Knight has going for himself is the gritty, semi-mystical thing (Is it Khonshu? Just his insanity and will?) that lets him overcome odds far to great for him. Only because of this could he occasionally take one. It wouldn't be PIS, it's a basic part of the Moon Knight character that adds to his mystery.

Questioneer
For sure, I don't disagree Moon Knight is awesome.

I wish they would have done more team-up or interaction stuff between the two.

He's my bro's favourite while mine is the Shroud.

He's definitely clocked more reading hour enjoyment though based on character :-/

Moon Knight had Denny O'Neil at one point. Definitely a lot of reading enjoyment surrounding that character. I think that the mystery of Khonshu's intervention is basically his "power." That is a cooler power than strength the changes with the moon's phases. For a superhero that is as much a power as a weakness (sometimes he is just a regular guy that can fight).

LordFear
But Shroud is pretty tough as well despite his disability

seaapple
I'm basically just suggesting that Moon Knight isn't guaranteed a loss. He is quite disadvantaged in the general case.

Questioneer
Agreed! By no means is it 10/10 Shroud

Prolly pretty close but I'm giving it to the Shroud where as my brother gives it too Moon Knight :-P

Here Moon Knight takes on the highly skilled Shroud who keeps teleporting around, which makes it even more difficult to fight him with his martial arts skill. Regardless Moon Knight defeats him

Incorrect, he wanted to fight Moon Knight so he would take over his leadership erm
