## His Good Ranking

### His Heroic Deeds

* During one night, he was attacked by vampires. But survived due to Khonshu's intervention. Badr learned to worship Khonshu, who appointed Badr as one of his fists and priests.
* When Moon Knight gets wounded by Zodiac, who blew up the Midnight Mission and is forced to escape due to Hunter's Moon's arrival. Hunter's Moon heals Moon Knight while telling him his early life. Hunter's Moon acknowledges Reese's bravery.
* When Marc Spector gets imprisoned by the Kingpin, Badr temporarily uses the alias "Dr. Moon" and takes over the Midnight Mission temporarily stationed in a bar. There Badr states how Mr. Knight is "indisposed of" at the moment and that he is the current "guy". One case that arrives states how Stained Glass Scarlet, who previously died 2 years prior had suddenly returned and was taking on vigilante activities again. Hunter's Moon investigates and discovers Stained Glass Scarlet has been turned into a goddess due to people's belief in her. Hunter's Moon summons Khonshu to deal with her and escapes. Hunter's Moon reports to Reese, Moon Knight's vampire assistant that Stained Glass Scarlet cannot truly die due to now being a goddess. Reese admits to Hunter's Moon that it will take some time to forgive him for trying to kill her.
* Moon Knight eventually breaks out of Kingpin's captivity and returns as the leader of the Midnight Mission, eventually getting the House of Shadows to replace the ruins Zodiac left it as.
* Moon Knight and Tigra discovers his doctor, Sterman has been captured by Zodiac and left Jigsaw in New Jersey to watch over and eventually kill her when Moon Knight approaches.

* Marc agrees with Steven and Jake to investigate both assassins. Steven and Jake discover the assassins are working for the structure, the organization who turned the people Marc has been protecting into vampires, including Reese. They also discover the Structure doesn't go into Chinatown due to it already being occupied with another vampire faction as vampires are territorial.
* Hunter's Moon instead of joining Moon Knight, Solider and Reese opts to investigate Nimean and Grand Mal, however, when he encounters them, they viciously murder him, shoving crowbars in him and snapping his neck. Moon Knight finds his corpse and tracks down Nimean and Grand Mal, he drags them to the Midnight Mission where they get buried by supernatural pillars. Nimean and Grand Mal beg Moon Knight to be spared for killing his sidekick by offering money. However, Moon Knight reveals Hunter's Moon isn't his sidekick and that due to being a Fist of Khonshu, Hunter's Moon doesn't die as Hunter's Moon reveals himself to Nimean and Grand Mal.
* Moon Knight reveals to Hunter's Moon he knows how to take down The Structure, the organization behind many people being turned into vampire. Moon Knight crashes into a party The Structure was hosting where their leader, the Tutor, was revealing his plans to other vampire nations.

Moon Knight tells Hunter's Moon to throw him his silver blade, which Hunter's Moon does. Hunter's Moon works with Moon Knight and Reese to defeat the Structure, with Moon Knight killing the Tutor himself.

### Why He Doesn't Stand Out?

* He fails the enormous Admirable Standard of *Marvel Comics* as everything he does is standard when compared to what other Heroes like Moon Knight have done with roughly the same power level.
* He is an on and off villain who has done unkind or outright criminal deeds:
	+ When Moon Knight stopped worshipping Khonshu after the *Age of Khonshu* event and establish his Midnight Mission, Badr moved into a nearby clinic, stalking and watching Moon Knight.
	+ After Moon Knight took in people infected with vampirism, Badr terrorized nightwalkers to get to Moon Knight, who Badr defeated. Badr tried to kill the vampires in Moon Knight's Midnight Mission before Moon Knight arrived and beat up Badr, despite him having all the previous experiences of Khonshu's fists.
	+ Marc as Mr. Knight, Reese and Soldier go into Chinatown, Marc initially told Hunter's Moon about his Dissociative Identity Disorder and offered Badr to join them in their venture to Chinatown but Badr refuses as vampires are monsters and enemies of Khonshu. Badr actually hits Moon Knight due to their different ideologies.
