The preview will introduce the protagonist Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac). Called by many “Marvel’s Batman”, the character has one of the richest and most confusing trajectories in the comics, so we’ve gathered below everything you need to know about the new vigilante of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Moon Knight made his debut as Werewolf villain in the classic magazine Werewolf By Night. In a two-part story he is introduced as Mark Spector, a mercenary hired to hunt the creature for the evil organization known as the Committee. To ensure the combatant’s triumph, the villains gave him a white costume like the moon and with paraphernalia made of silver, metal capable of injuring the lycanthrope. It turns out that during the hunt, Mark realizes that the Werewolf is actually the victim in the situation and helps the monster defeat the Committee.
The curious thing about this first story, created by Doug Moench, Don Perlin and Al Milgrom, is that Spector was little interested in being a vigilante. In addition to wearing a third-party outfit, he goes so far as to say that Moon Knight is a “stupid name”. However, the character’s popularity among readers and comics made him return to the Marvel Universe more often.
