Origin of Moon Knight

A mercenary turned caped vigilante, Marc Spector was enlisted by the Egyptian god Khonshu to deliver the god’s vengeance. Besides these external struggles, he also internally battles with mental issues. But back to Moon Knight origins. Jewish born Marc Spector was a mercenary with years of military experience who began running dastardly jobs with a terrifying merc, Bushman up in Egypt. Spector eventually turned on the murderous madman after Bushman attempted to kill two innocent archaeologists, Marlene Alraune and her father.

Marlene survived, but her father did not, and Spector was left for dead in the scorching desert heat. Spector made his way to an Egyptian tomb, only to die and then be reborn at the feet of a statue of the moon god Khonshu known as the Taker of Vengeance. With a renewed, heavenly body, he got revenge and used his merc-made fortune to turn from Marc Spector to the vigilante Moon Knight, AKA the Fist of Khonshu.
