#MoonKnight 
Развлечения
His connection to Khonshu is so strong that Khonshu resurrects him every time he dies. This is a sort of immortality.
Reminds me Remo Williams. He doesn't die often in the series, but when he does, Shiva The Destroyer rises up and grinds tanks into dust etc.
A rated R series w/ Remo and Chiun would be fantastic!
@@heartonmysleeves4668 Oh yeah! Remo Williams. The Master of Sinanju. Love it!
Moon Knight (under Khonshu's influence) bodied All Father Thor,Ghost Rider, Dr Starnge and Iron Fist
@@grandcanyon-fu9zt Really?
He’s definitely not to be messed around with.
@@zro780 Khonshu also killed multiple Mephistos and outscales Odin and Zeus
I can’t believe marvel is finally doing moon knight, I never thought he would be popular enough to justify it but I’m excited nonetheless
He isnt popular enough but Marvel is and they can greenlight whatever they want
@Zerozerozero He is uber popular to the comic subculture, has been for years but the general populace is unaware of him, hence he is not popular.
@@MuchTub3 Deadpool was and still is much bigger than Moon Knight though. Even before the movie he somehow got his own Triple A game with a $100 million budget.
They’re gonna make him popular
Yeah they always, barely anybody knew Shang-Chi but they made him a movie and now hes very popular
I wonder if Moon Knight will be made more powerful in the show. It looks like he can manifest his weapons almost to an unlimited potential, leap from building to building and is completely bulletproof.
Bruh did you even watch the video ?
He has done more impressive things than that in the comics lmao. His toughest suit in the comics is literally made from Adamnitium. Ain't nothing getting through that. He also has energy absorption, immortality etc in the comics. The only thing they really changed in the show is his suit which gets summoned but that doesn't really make him more powerful because like I said, moon knight has one of the toughest hero costumes in the comics. Don't forget that moon knight is also super rich in the comics and has multiple high tech gadgets on top his magical abilities.
And the show will tank
@nemo pouncey lmfao
@@calebstephan2083 don’t forget he could be one of the most powerful marvel characters. He once stopped Thor’s hammer with his mind. If Khonshu gave him his full power he would be a literal god, but Khonshu doesn’t want MK more powerful than himself!!
@@zzirfamo24 exactly. Moon knight can be more powerful depending on how much power khonshu decides to grant him.
Moon Knight's power is at the Cosmic scale, as long as the Avatar does what Khonshu wants. If the avatar disobey khonshu's orders his powers will be at the human scale. Marc Spector is a billionaire, so when he refuses Khonshu's orders he literally becomes the Batman of marvel universe, using technological gadgets to fight.
That's why moon knights powers are so inconsistent, Sometimes he is a Cosmic Being and sometimes he is just a more violent Batman.
Thanks bro this was a great example of him. I’m just learning about this character. I saw episode 2 and was wondering when was he going to become the powerhouse
That's exactly right. To given some examples when he is doing Khonsu's will in the Age of Khonshu, and with his aid, he's able to take down almost every major Marvel Universe hero such as Dr. Strange or Thor for example. But when he later turns on him and let's him be imprisoned he takes de persona of Mr. Knight, who is little more than a brawler.
Well said bro 💯
batgroin
I like how he's his comics are so inconsistent that even marvel doesn't know how powerful he is
That's kind of the point. The Sun symbolizes order, always there shining in the sky (even if behind the clouds), while the Moon is chaotic, always changing, and causing strange things to happen when full. Spector's personality and powers both reflect this connection, it's one of the coolest parts about the character.
it kinda makes sense. according to moon knight, nobody, not even himself, knows exactly what he's capable of
@@afkartist335 I really hope they go go with that. See him kick Through a jeep engine block without explaining exactly how. Kind of how they didn't explain why Tony Stark made his armor improvements. He just fixed them, progressively
he lost all these powers...not sure why that part was not mentioned.
@@mikhailmik4152 Writer change, probably
Don't forget that moon knight is immortal as well. Due to his pact with khonshu he can't die. Well to be more specific he can die but everytime he does he just gets resurrected. Also don't forget moon knights most impressive run recently where khonshu ramped up his absorption ability to the point where he absorbed several heroes powers like doctor strange, iron fist, ghost rider etc. Moon knight can be a cosmic level being depending on how much power khonshu decides to grant him.
That's very recent and unknown to be true
That’s in recent comics, and I don’t think konshu can do that anymore
@@heartsforbaylee I think he can when he is freed, the pwoers to are never set in stone some comics its shown that he has like a power suit to do things like when he left a suit holding a building and ran around in a hood and underwear :D
Don't forget Moon Knight defeated Khonshu, and is now independent of him.
He's Immortal Too!!!!!?????🤯
Hope they show Moon Knight taking hits but just tanking through them like he does in the comics. Big reason why Taskmaster hates fighting him.
Yeah, Taskmaster took one look at him and said "F**k this noise."
@@ianfinrir8724 it’s probably moon knights most iconic moment is with task master how scared shitless he was bc he realized moon knight isn’t even close to how other people fight mf will take hits on purpose just to prove he can and proceeds to beat yo ass😭
Taskmaster's hated list:
- Deadpool
- Moon Knight
- Shang-Chi
Taskmaster runs into Moon Knight "Not this fucking guy"
"GOT SOME KETAMINE?!?!"
@@bobbysworld281995 why does taskmaster hate fighting shangchi?
The thing that did it for me was indeed when he fought Taskmaster. I always thought he was cool...but that art and that issue cemented how badass he really is. (I freaking LOVE me some Taskmaster, and that issue with the two of them fighting has stuck in my head for YEARS, amazing artwork, amazing)
agreeeeeeeeeeeeeed
Based on another scene I saw recently, what probably did Taskmaster in was that, in copying Moon Knight's moves, he got an insight into the inner workings of his mind.
Bad move.
@@rdubayoo yea that never ever works out well for anyone
Moon knight is a very underrated character he deserves more fanbase
I don't want him to have a toxic fanbase
@@grandcanyon-fu9zt Ye M8 Kids be talking like "MoonKnight can beat the MCU . He's the best", Like I am a Fan of MoonKnight, but that doesn't mean I Have to claim he's the best of the best.
"Broke his arm like a strand of uncooked spaghetti" is the best.
He was in Avengers recently and picked off every Avenger one by one over the course of several issues; it was epic. Not sure how you missed it.
Heil Bandera
He also mugged ghostrider. Which is funny as hell to me
Great actor, great comic character, great era for cinematography , this is going to be so kick ass!!
After watching Moonknight in Disney+, he has become a favorite marvel character of mine. MoonKnight is very awesome and incredible character. I really hope that after the show is over they make a second season or have him appear with the Avengers.
Are we going to forget about the time he fought Thor?? Thor threw his hammer at MK and he stopped his hammer on a dime mid-air using his powers. He could be one of the most powerful if Khonshu gave him all his power.
i totally agree
Considering that every time he dies Khonshu simply ressurects him i would say that is a pretty good power. Might be why he wears all white. He does not care if the enemy sees him coming. He cant die. As long as he serves Khonshu he is effectively immortal and powerful and 'nigh unstoppable.
He wears white because it looks good when his enemies blood splatters on it lmao
@@peytoncrosby5892 HAHA lmfao that probably is true
@@fatsoefn2932 It is true -
he doesn't care of enemies see him coming, he LIKES when they see him coming.
Basically getting pimped out lol
I used to read his comics back in the 70s, i cant believe he is on screen now. One of my favorites and underappreciated heroes.
He was my fav in the 70's when I started collecting comics. So different with his mental health issues and the fact that it took decades to work out just how strong he was. Brilliant video mate.
Damn I'm so jealous. Wish I knew about comics when I was a kid, I started getting into them in recent years. I started MK comics last week and I love it so far. Wish I knew about Marvel and DC comics back then.
I think one of my favorite moon knight moment might be when he used Thor’s hammer even though he wasn’t worthy, he could use it cause apparently he could control moonstone and that’s what the hammer was made of.
1. Dwarf/Dying Star, actually
2. If Jane gets ticked by Moon Knight and throws Mjolnir and it stops at Moon Knight staring straight at it, you peaked in CBMs.
@@bobbysworld281995 no, Thor's hammer was made IN a dying star. It itself is made OF Uru, which is technically moonstone
@@LordMicahBroch oooohhh
@@bobbysworld281995 it was forged in the heart of a dying star but where the actual uru metal came from wasn't stated. It was just stated that the hammer was forged in the heart of a dying star which is why them making the uru metal a metal that came from an ancient moon wasn't really a retcon, it was just a reveal.
I have a couple of moments that cement Moon Knight as a complete badass. And they are all from the Age of Khonshu arc.
1: Thor threw Mjolnir at Moon Knight, but he just stops it in midair, and beats Thor with it because Mjolnir is made of moon rock.
2: He stole the power of Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider AND Iron Fist. Like, come on, they are 3 of the most powerful characters in Marvel.
3: He became the host for the Phoenix Force, and even rejected it. If I'm right, you have to have a willpower of titanium to resist the Phoenix Force's influence.
Exactly.
Doom, Moon Knight, and Bruce Banner have similar will power levels.
1&2 was amped by Khonshu
No, one must need the willpower of ketamine to resist it's influence.
Iron Fist ?? Did i read that right ? So he can beat Galactus ? or Odin ? or the Beyonder ?
I always believed that his powers were just imaginary because of his mental state, his lunacy makes him think crazy things which makes him stronger and fearless. Similar to Bendis run where he believed he was fighting with imaginary Avengers, but he made a makeshift webshooter, a fake captain america shield to represent them in his mind. In his mind he was beating his enemies, but witnesses saw that he was getting beaten to a pulp. Like the Joker he is an unreliable narrator, since eyewitnesses always had a different story. A crazy nutcase will believe he is Superman, and the power of the mind can in fact make you do crazy feats beyond reason.
It's been proven several times that his powers are actually real.
@@calebstephan2083 no eyewitnesses in the comics though. Like in Lemire's run where New York was under werewolf attack and then he wakes up in a mental institution. He is a very unreliable narrator, most of his feats are purely accidental.
@@momoca-kun that entire run was Khonshu mentally torturing him. also, the Bendis run is ass.
@@BubblesTheBard there was also in Lemire where he was thinking he was bulletproof, but in reality he was bleeding to death. All in his mind. And Lemire is a very good writer. In every moon knight story, whenever he does a crazy feat either witnesses are knocked out unconscious or they saw a different thing, and that is the beauty of his comics. A mind fck
He is more like AzBats Jean Paul Valley, their craziness fuels their strength and durability.
Everytime I see Venom and MK in the same page it always reminds me of the moon knight meme "Why do I hear Eminem all of a sudden?"
I was reading comics when Moon Knight first appeared in Werewolf By Knight, and one of the things I appreciated about the character is the question that would follow him, "does he have powers, or is he just delusional?" "Was he resurrected by Khonshu?" "Is he 'that' strong, getting stronger in the full moon, or is he just crazy-strong?" I liked it when they crafted the stories so we just weren't sure.
As always, thank you so very much for the video.
And actually, I've known a lot of folks who've been wanting a Gojira vs Power Rangers for Years.
Happy he’s getting love on screen. Definitely one of my favorites
Been a fan of Moon Knight for years. One of my favorite all time characters in comics. Never thought he'd be popular enough to get a TV show but so glad he's getting the spotlight he deserves! Dudes a crazy badass and I love it and I think Oscar Isaac is gonna fucking kill it!!
Why does everyone forget that moon knight is immortal!
Less immortal, more Dark Soul syndrome
@@bobbysworld281995 Yeah, but at this point it may as well be classes as immortality xD if he dies konshu just kinda says "no"
@@Isogyre_ Khonshu could be killed, like Loki.
@@joshuar4467 khonshu can't be killed as stated in comics because he is also the elder god of time so he needs to stay alive for time to exist. Knull confirmed in comics that khonshu is one of the few elder gods in the multiverse. The other elder gods include knull himself, cthon, Ra the sun god aka the demigorge etc.
@@calebstephan2083 Oh ok, but wouldn't that mean that mischief doesn't exist in the MCU because of Loki the god of Mischief is dead?
Love when he fought thor also, Moon Knight explains that he knows Mjolnir is made from the Uru Metal and since Uru is technically moon rock, he's able to control it. Moon Knight repeatedly hits Thor with his own hammer before using Mjolnir to send Thor into space and calling upon moons to come together to crush him.
I hope he'll have the mystical powers of the moon which in the comics he lost; I hope he'll get them back. 1. Lunar Empowerment (getting stronger by the phases of the moon. You've already talked about that) 2. Necromancy (controlling the dead as he did with an army of mummies) 3. Lunarkinesis (powers of the moon that provides gravity control like Graviton). And 4. Self Sustenance (survive indefinitely without need of a breathable atmosphere). Personally, I think he should get umbrakinesis (darkness and shadows) and photokinsis (light but as silvery blue or grayishly white color like the moon).
NERD!
Hopefully his power scaling is a bit more consistent in the show. Still by far my most anticipated Marvel project since No Way Home.
Lol since no way home?
It's not that his power is inconsistant, its just that it varies heavily. This isnt a inconsistancy as much as it is a character trait.
@@MisanthropicHaze honestly varieying powers kinda makes sense to me since the moon basically always changes ik this probably isn't true to his powers but like the guy said in the video "when there's a full moon he becomes stupidly strong" or sum like that
There is a time that proves Moon Knights strength is on planetary level when he took a hit from Hercules due to some accident and got up with ease saying "do you want to feel something similar"
I really hope that the show has Moon Knight say some real badass quotes. I would love to hear that.
That would be sick.
I knew a little bit about him before this but MAN I honestly didn't know he was this badass. Now I'm even more hyped for the show.
Always enjoy watching the channel and can't wait for the Moon Knight series and how this character will be in a larger scale
Moon Knight: "I am vengeance, I am night, I am MOON KNIGHT
According to the classic "Marvel Super Hero RPG", Moon Knight's strength, under the full moon, allowed him to lift tens tons with maximum effort. He also got about three times faster, and healed up a *lot* faster in the moonlight.
Great video🤙🏾
He's become One of my top 10 favorite's in recent years up there with daredevil and Spiderman.
Yeah Hes also comparable To spidey or Black Panther
"Alternative Version of...Black Canary, Black Widow, Black Cat, Catwoman, Supergirl, Storm, Mystique."
Wow! I had no idea Moon Knight was that powerful 😳
Always wanted to read more about Moon Knight but never got around to it. Loving the new series and wow, thanks for this video! I did not realize how powerful Moon Knight really is, so excited to see how much butt he kicks in the series.
6:33 that was my wallpaper for such a long time as a kid. Still love it!
MK, Punisher, Daredvil and Spidey are defenetly my favorite street level characters, considering their stories are more grounded
you left out how he fought his former partner midnight who was brought back from the dead and made into a cyborg. the round robin story arc in amazing spider-man was so my favorite and to this day, it still is.
> Midnight Man
> Midnight Man actor died
> Resurrected as a Cyborg
Oh, that's some tempting money milking if they do that.
Been waiting for this 💪🏿
I honestly can’t wait to see the next episode
Can Khonshu resurrect Marc an unlimited number of times or if the god needs to wait a while between resurrections? How many avatars have come before Marc Spectre? While a god as strong as Khonshu shouldn’t have issues with multiple revivals, the rules the god operates by is unknown as it is also unknown as to know how many times can Marc Spectre die and be resurected before it takes its toll of Marc's mind and body. The fact he has a split personality disorder is a indicator of its toll on Marc.
Would love to see Taskmaster done correctly in the MCU
Moonknight is and always will be a beast! Kinda wanna see his avengers intro be him battle a few heros
Cannot wait to see this 💞
Do a video on Gambit his one of my favorite X-MEN characters
Its so sad they canceled the movie. But from what I gather, it was gonna be a crapfest
I would LOVE to see the "Variant Comics Man" vs "Moonlight"! The Variant guy here would CRUSH HIM! I put my 1 mill on him! 😂
Well done! And thank you for NOT mentioning that Age of Khonshu nonsense. Moon Knight IS a beast not to be messed with.
So hyped
The time moon night crashing his plane onto taskmaster is still my favorite thing he did
I like when Moonknight basically just took almost all of the avengers magic
Very interesting.
Very Insightful didn’t know he can do all that He’s definitely gonna be top dawg on the MCU
Gotta love a character with built in varying power levels and moods so he can be written an unlimited amount of ways. "It's the um, moon... yeah, that's the ticket. It changes with the moon".
Never been this early on here 😂😂
Same lol
Same lmao
same my broda
I never heard of Moon Knight until the tv series was announced! Now I want to see the show.
"Moon knight is faster than you" -Spider man to human torch in the ultimate spider man video game. That single line will always stick in my head 🤣
Pretty recently it was revealed that Uru was actually moon rock, and that Moon Knight (I think in an empowered form) could control Mijolnir because of it. Thor throws Mijolnir at Moon Knight and he stops it mid-air.
In what comic did he fight all those guys? Like Strong Guy and Wolverine.
"supernatural, more violent batman" literally what I was thinking the whole video. Ngl, I like that.
i honestly dont even care if this show is bad when i get the ability to watch it im gonna binge. moon knight is one of the coolest marvel characters
Great video. Exited for the show. Moon knight always seem to me like a mash up between Batman and the Spawn, which makes me wonder who amongst the 3 can win in a true fight? Thoughts?
spawn is levels above these two i believe to the point of altering reality.
That's a good one! But what Cary said, Spawn is arguably the winner. Batman would be extremely vulnerable against those two.
But why you EXITED? Show hasn't even started yet.
The two against Spawn, Spawn would win due to his stronger abilities. Batman against Moon Knight, I think Bats would win due to past victories against other supernatural and powerful beings and his high IQ during combat would give him the edge against Moon Knight.
"How strong is Moon Knight?"
"Yes."
EP 1 is 🔥
Amazing
Now do how powerful is Steven Grant?
When he was with the West Coast Avengers, Konshu brought Moon Knight to an alternate dimension with hundreds of full moons, and he ripped a robot apart with his bare hands.
He was the most powerful avenger in that issue.
@@ArmandoReportes yeah i wish they had built more on that. I mean Konshu is the god of the moon, also you call people that are crazy lunatic. So did Konshu really bring him to that dimension, or was that all in Moon Knights head?
Op information loved it brought me back to my childhood…..🇩🇴de lo mio
So awesome
I really would love to see a battle between Moon Knight and Batman
Both are skilled fighters with tons of gadgets and experience who inspire fear into their enemies. I think the only big differences are that batman is more grounded and scientific while Moon Knight is more supernatural and brutal.
Nice facts also Batman is also brutal but he does hold back he can brutal if he wants to so both are evenly match
They would have Batman win. With prep time. Smh
@@thewho2482 Batman doesn't always need prep time to win he's the smartest person in DC also the most dangerous man he's got lots of gadgets that he could use on moon knight so who knows
@@alexandergarnica1731 moon knight straight up kills villains sometimes and even cut off the face of one of his villains to prove a point. Moon knight is more brutal. I love Batman but his no kill rule is stupid.
@@alexandergarnica1731 whenever Batman has fought beings with enhanced abilities he always gets prepped up first except for people like bane who have evident weaknesses which is his venom tank on his back which can be easily take care of.
Black panther can do all that bro 😏😏😏
Black panther is royalty.he was raised in privilage.in a futuristic city.
@@emmanuelboakye1124 yes but Moonknight will be beaten by Black panther no doubt 🙌
@@cephasweror if there is a full moon black panther might have a problem.
@@emmanuelboakye1124 yes, of not killing him quicker than normal.. 😁
@@cephasweror ok il admit your right👍
Moonknight is one of the most underrated marvel characters in the marvel universe Im so excited to continue watching the series
Cool! I didn’t know that he fought The Merc With An Mouth in an Moon Knight comic.
I’m from the future, and all the hype surrounding moonknight unfortunately 😔 IS TRUE, THIS WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE BEST MCU SHOWS TO EVER EXIST, THE FIRST EPISODE IS ALREADY A 10/10
People are calling moon knight marvel's Batman but this show looks way to different to even be compared to Batman
Thank you👍👍
Only watched the first 2 episodes and damn, love the character
Excellent presentation
I had no idea moon knight was so badass. I wonder how this Dark violent version of a supernatural Batman would handle “SPAWN “?
MoonKnight: mercenary dies, resurrected by Konshu
Spawn: mercenary dies,
resurrected by Malbolgia.
It would be an interesting read.
How many superman and batman copy do you want?
Marvel: yes
First of all, you NEVER once mentioned his powers and abilities in the History of Moon Knight video you made. You only talked about his fighting skills and weapons. You made it sound like he had no powers what-so-ever. No mention of his moon-enhanced physicality, his knowledge of magic or the supernatural, his ability to draw on the powers of previous Moon Knights, his prophetic visions, creating lunar astral projections, or his ability to drain someones energy through physical contact. This is the very first time you even mentioned he had superpowers AT ALL!! You never mentioned he had any powers until now
Are you going to do history of Nova the Human Rocket in your next video since it's been announced that there is a project being worked on for Nova Richard Rider to make his MCU debut? Do you think we will see Sam Alexander as Nova in the Young Avengers in the MCU?
"Let's establish some parameters. I'm not Spider-Man. And I'm not the Punisher. They represent extreme ends of the same costumed spectrum. I'm Moon Knight. And you all know that means one thing. No one in this room, myself included, knows precisely what I am capable of. I beat the Avengers. Imagine what I could do to any one of you. " Marc Specter/Moon Knight.
Epic
First?
You are the one
Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Morbius. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?
Jesus Christ dude thats like every spiderman villain and half of the Flash's
I haven't watched any of the Disney+ shows yet. Keep putting it off
When I first of Moon Knight I was like I wonder whom is going to play this character. Then I found out I was like its a perfect match! I hope to see Moon knight in a trilogy or even a series like spider man hopefully they do a great movie followed up by a sequel that has a in-depth look into how and why he was made and history of that side of the family! Should be epic I hoping D does a good job. Go big or Go home type. Great in depth view of his powers and who Moon knight is I think I'll finally have to break down and get my first ever comic! :)
did u giys do a video on Nightcrawler? bc i cant find it💙
used to play moon knight in the marvel alliance games so now that he's gettign a show im so happy
7:40-7:53
Can't wait for Arris to talk about the first issue!
Thank you. Moon Knight is one of my favorite characters, and I feel like this time MCU Is spot on (so far, lol)
Hey Variant Comics, can you do a video How powerful is The Human Torch please.
I hope we get to see those kind of feats in the series which is out this week. When it comes to films we normally get them first because NZ is a day ahead like Morbius is being released a day in advance as Thursdays we have new releases. But Morbius will be released on Wednesday(Tomorrow) But MoonKnight will be out 30 which is Wednesday but since US is a day behind it’ll be out Thursday. Good thing I’m on Holiday this week
can’t friggin waittttt
4:20 the bullet case being shot with the bullet lol
Moon Knight fan here, think it should be acknowledged some of these aren't strength feats, but more a testament of unpredictability, which is often how he gets the upper hand. For example, he didn't beat taskmaster in a straight fight, cause he couldn't. So instead, Moon Knight crashed his helicopter into him, and then took all his arrows while taskmaster was pinned down. He then ends the fight not by beating him, but putting the fear of god into him
Could he possibly also benefit from positive probability, along the lines of Domino? Like, do the laws of probability seem suspended around him and tend to tilt in his favour?
Wow that is really insane. Although I do wish there was a Moon fight with Wolverine :)
Please go over the current green lantern series
Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
