Introduction:
Moon Knight is a Marvel Comics character that first appeared in Werewolf by Night #32 (Aug. 1975). The character began his career with his death; yes his death. Khonshu an Egyptian God saw fit to resurrect him and grant him abilities to become his fist and might. Over the years Moon Knight went through many changes ranging from superhuman abilities, to technology based crime fighter, back to a normal human, etc. Regardless of what he uses, he also an uncanny will he possesses to get the job done. If there is vengeance to be had, Moon Knight will be there.
