Marc Spector is Moon Knight

## Origins

Marc Spector was born on May 27, 2004 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was born alongside his twin brother, Randall, and his mother died in childbirth. They were raised by their father, Elias, who was a mercenary. Randall eventually ran away from home, and Marc told his father that he wanted to become a mercenary, like him. While reluctant at first, Elias eventually gave in and let Marc accompany him on his next job: which was to raid a recently discovered Egyptian tomb.

When they arrived, they were greeted by the man who hired them: Raul Bushman, along with the other mercenaries he had hired to help him: highly-skilled mercenaries Bengal and Taskmaster, along with a rookie named Anton Mogart. The group traveled through the tomb, but Bushman betrayed the group, shooting both Marc and his father. Everyone else managed to escape, including Bushman. As Marc lied bleeding on the ground, the statue of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu spoke to him and offered Marc a deal. He would save his life if he became his avatar and dished out his righteous vengeance, Marc agreed, and his wounds were healed as he gained enhanced strength, stamina, durability, and other abilities.

## Joining The Avengers

Marc ended up living in an orphanage in New York for the following year, creating a white costume and doing as Khonshu asked. Loki eventually sent the forces of the nine realms to attack Earth, and Khonshu ordered Marc to help defend the city. Marc agreed and put on his suit, fighting back during the day, despite how his powers were weakened.

Marc eventually met up with other heroes during the attack. Specifically Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Ant-Man, and The Panther. He introduced himself as The Moon Knight and accompanied them to Asgard, where the heroes defeated Loki. When they returned to Earth, Iron Man suggested that they become a team and defend Earth from threats too big for them to face on their own. Most of the team agreed, though Khonshu advised Marc not to join. Marc ignored Khonshu and joined anyway, though he kept his identity secret from the others.

## The Masters of Evil

Marc would be a major member of the Avengers, and would help to stop many threats, such as Ultron, Arcade, Whiplash, and more. Eventually, Captain America would get curious and follow Marc home, only to discover that he was still a teenager and that he lived in an orphanage. Cap would try to be there for Marc following this, and would eventually give Marc enough courage to tell the rest of the team.

After a few months, Marc would be forced to help defeat a team that Baron Zemo created to destroy The Avengers called the Masters of Evil. The Avengers managed to defeat them, but it took a lot of effort.

## Kang and Galactus

Marc would continue to help the Avengers as a warlord from the future called Kang The Conqueror attempted to invade the past. It would take the sacrifice of the team's newest member, Cable, to defeat him.

Afterwards, the team would be forced to face The Heralds, who were a group of alien warriors who were scouting planets for their master, Galactus. The team would team-up with the Guardians of The Galaxy, along with The Silver Surfer, who betrayed Galactus as he prepared to absorb Earth. All of the heroes worked together in Wakanda to defeat the eater of worlds.

## Thanos

The next major threat the Avengers would face would be Thanos, who would slowly gather up all of the Infinity Stones, despite the best efforts of the Avengers and The Guardians of The Galaxy. Thanos would snap his fingers and kill half of all life in the universe. While Marc survived the snap, he was broken. Many of his friends were dead, and nobody from his orphanage survived. Marc would reach his breaking point, and his mind would fracture. Marc developed Dissociative-Identity Disorder, and he would create two alternate personalities to help him cope: A taxi-driver named Jake Lockley and British man named Steven Grant, who, over the course of the next few years, would start his own very successful business, and even do business deals with Tony Stark, though Tony never saw him face-to-face, so he never knew that it was Marc.

Five Years Later, Marc was now an adult, and The Avengers approached him for help. They had found a way to travel back in time and recover the Infinity Stones, which Thanos had destroyed. Marc agreed to help, and the Avengers managed to use the stones to bring everyone who Thanos had killed back, though Thanos himself would return for the stones. The Avengers managed to snap Thanos away in the end, and the team was reformed.

## The Age of Apocalypse

Apocalypse would soon be awakened from his sleep, and the Avengers teamed up with the X-Men to stop him. At first, while the Avengers were struggling to defeat him, Marc did not play a large role, but after Apocalypse captured Charles Xavier, Khonshu told Marc that he should tell the rest of his teammates the truth. Marc would tell his allies how he became Moon Knight, along with how he had Dissociative-Identity Disorder. The Avengers would accept him and try to help him, but it was too late. The Avengers also did not initially believe that Marc was really Khonshu's avatar, but Jean Grey connected everyone to Marc's mind, discovering that yes, he was real. Khonshu told the heroes that he had at one point considered making Apocalypse his avatar, but changed his mind once he discovered how much power he already had, and how he was using it.

While they were talking, Marc, along with many other heroes, suddenly got massive headaches and fell to the floor. Apocalypse had merged Professor X with Magneto to create Onslaught, who proceeded to absorb Apocalypse and gain his power. Onslaught then used mind-control to control every super-powered being in the universe. Marc, Bruce Banner, Jean Grey, and Adrian Shroud managed to block the mind-control (Banner and Shroud by using vibranium helmets, Grey by simply being too powerful, and Marc by being protected by Khonshu.), and the remaining heroes fled to Latveria, as Dr. Doom offered them sanctuary.

Rest is TBA

## Appearance

Marc was introduced as a teenage boy with spiky black hair and blue eyes. He also has a scar over his right eye, which was caused by Bengal. As he got older, he grew bigger and bulkier. His eyes become brighter the closer to a supermoon it is.

As Moon Knight, Marc wears white bodyarmor with a white hood and a white mask (which is often obscured by shadows) with white eyes. Essentially, he looked like how his original version looked in the early 2000s. His suit also has built-in moon-shaped kyoketsu-shoge.

Steven Grant slicks back his hair and puts on a business suit.

Jake Lockey, wears a fake mustache, a brown jacket, fingerless gloves, jeans, and a hat.

Mr. Knight will eventually be introduced as Steven's suit. He will look essentially the same as he does in the mainline comics.

## Powers and Abilities

* Empowered by Khonshu. Marc is the avatar of Khonshu, and thus, is empowered by him. His powers come from him, and get stronger the closer to a supermoon it is.
* Enhanced Strength
* Enhanced Durability
* Enhanced Reflexes
* Enhanced Agility
* Immortality
* Khonshu can also protect him from mental attacks.

Additionally, Marc also has these abilities naturally:

* Expert interrogator

* High Pain Theshold

Weaknesses include:

* Steven and Jake can sometimes get in the way
* Marc is mentally unstable
* He gets weaker during specific phases of the moon, and is almost completely powerless during the day
* If his connection to Konshu were to be severed, then the bullet wound that Konshu healed when he first became his avatar would come back, making it very likely that he would die.

## Trivia

* There are many major differences that MR's version of Marc has. Specificially:
	+ His age
	+ His brother being the same age as him
	+ The fact that he does not develop his mental disorders until after the Thanos Snap, and they were directly caused by it
	+ The fact that separating him from Khonshu would kill him
* His birthday is on the day his first comic appearance was released, like most MR characters.
* His three personalities have different voices:
	+ Marc has a standard American accent with a deep, raspy voice.
	+ Jake sounds just like Marc, but with a strong New York accent.
	+ Steven has a British accent, but his voice is still deep and raspy.
* Unlike most incarnations of Moon Knight, MR's is a founding member of the Avengers.
* The meme of Dracula owing Moon Knight money is actually canon in MR.
