@Justin Arzola But he did pop back up again as a villain in a rather awesome Spider-Man arc featuring Moon Knight and a WHOLE lot of others.

While the name "Spector" seems like one of those silly names made to match the ghostly character, it is actually a jewish-czech surname (with variations of spelling) originially meaning "inspector". So later on in his series, when Michael Fliesher made Marc the son of a Czech-jewish rabbi it actually made a lot of sense.

Shenanigans.

My favorite is that his ancient weapons were designed by Hawkeye during timetravel to ancient Egypt.

Early Moon Knight had more in common with the Shadow than Batman. The multiple aliases (Including millionaire Lamont Cranston); his regular girlfriend was Margo and she knew his identity; he battled a secret council; the cabbie; among others.

Conquer-Lord fits right in with the eccentric, vaguely Bond-villain-ish bad guys that Moench came up with in the Master of Kung Fu series: Carlton Velcro, Mordillo, War-Yore, etc.

Fun fact my cats are super low key named for Superman & Batman. Their names are "El" and "Matches". While only a scant 20% get the Superman reference, my Batman reference is so obscure that even my friends claiming to be big Batman fans weren't able to deduce how my cat "Matches" was named after Batman. My dynamic duo's cover will never be broken.

In Hebrew, "El" also means "light" as I recall, which is an ironic name for a cat.

If the Disney+ series doesn't feature Conquer-Lord what's even the point?

A man with multiple identities, the main one of which is a millionaire? A girlfriend who knows the truth and occasionally gets in on the action? A costume that makes the most of the dark? It's the Shadow! Not close enough to be anything more than a complete coincidence, yet I couldn't help but think it

I always assumed that was the inspiration. Batman, not so much.

Another element to this story that gets carried forward: Moon Knight's opponents are typically just as mentally unbalanced as Moon Knight himself. Conquer-Lord was a forerunner for folks like Scarlet, Black Spectre and other less laughable foes.

So glad you made a special mention of the greatest Moon Knight panel ever! That image of him in the darkened doorway has loomed large in my memory ever since I first saw it way back when. Black shirt Moon Knight rules!

Moon Knight has had an interesting history with his popularity. He's gone from unknown to one of Marvel's more popular characters to almost unknown again so many times! Maybe it was the costume, but after he appeared, he DID keep popping up quite a bit. SOMEONE at Marvel wanted that character to succeed! After the Werewolf by Night stint and this Marvel Spotlight outing, he made the rounds in the Marvel Magazines quite a bit. The big deal about those was the fact that Marvel skirted the comics code with those, so you could have more violence and semi-nudity in them. He became a regular back-up feature in the Hulk magazine. Which at the time was pretty prestigious, since it was promoting the tv show with stories closer to the Hulk show than the regular comic. And the Moon Knight stories in those books is pretty gritty, just kept toned down a little since Marvel probably assumed kids would be buying it. When his solo series started though, it was a big seller! The art was dark and gritty and the stories matched! Pretty dark stuff for a comic book in those days. If anything, the downfall of Moon Knight was the same thing that killed several other Marvel titles of the time. The Direct Market switch. The day of the comic shop was looming and Marvel tried an experiment. They took three of their best-selling books at the time, Moon Knight, Ka-Zar, and Micronauts and made them books that were sold only in comic shops, not in drug stores, gas stations, and news stands like most books. And....This killed those titles. Reading this, you probably chuckle. "Those books were popular?" At one time, yes. And toward the end of all of their runs, after a couple of years, Marvel tried an experiment to get them back on the news stands for a month to see if they could jog their popularity. But alas, it was too late. One book available after two years didn't get people back to buying them. So, Marvel cancelled all of those titles. Shortly thereafter, Marvel brought Moon Knight back to news stands in the Fist of Khonshu book, which was short-lived. Micronauts also came back in a number one and made it a little over a year. But this cautionary tale goes to show that even the most popular books can be totally destroyed by botched experiments. Moon Knight would get another series later on that would do passably well. But he just never quite caught on again like before. The recent Jeff Lemire book got him noticed again, so we'll see if between his new series and the Moon Knight show if they can keep interest going. He is definitely an interesting character, though. Moon Knight brought a touch of realism to the multiple identity aspect of superheroes. He had so many identities, they began to blur the line between roles and actual individuals. And they continue to explore that today. If anything, Marvel has taken their "Batman" to the next level by exploring the cost of trying to live multiple lives. God knows that as many faces as Bruce Wayne wears, he would be totally insane by this point. And many would argue that he is. Moon Knight actually explores this and that has brought a facet to the character that makes him way more than just Marvel's Batman. Hopefully his new adventures get a chance to breathe and he doesn't get the axe right when things are getting good.

While I think the first few Moon Knight comics did a decent job at differentiating him from Batman, the more modern take on the character does it way better. Having him be a more mystical character is great since Batman rarely handles mystic threats (unless if he's roped into the Justice League Dark series). Having the mystic element mixed with his mental illness makes him way different than Batman ( at least in my opinion). If I had to recommend a Moon Knight book I would go with Moon Knight: The Bottom by Charlie Huston and David Finch. That is my favorite Moon Knight story of all time.

That's a good one but I prefer the Warren Ellis run, From The Dead, which seems to highlight all his history.

Playing heavily into some more Shadow traits, the disguises, the origin not as a rich guy but as a military/intelligence guy who then takes on the identity of a rich one as a cover. Frenchie being more like a Shadow Agent than say, Alfred or Robin. Eventually putting a more mindbending twist on him.

I think another major influence for this time had to be The Shadow! He had many similar points, including having a rich secret identity (Lamont Cranston) that wasn't his real identity, having 'agents' and including a cabbie (but now, Moon Knight is 'the cabbie'). The Shadow was also a major influence on Batman, so it all comes together.

Shadow influence lives on to this day. Hopefully we get a decent reboot some day.

His all too brief stint in the West Coast Avengers was great. But the early 80's Sienkiewicz drawn series was the cherry. And Doug Moench is a very deep thinking and into asiatic culture. And I would like it if you covered the 80's title. And his run in WCA.

Conquer Lord is straight out of Adam West Batman or Schumacher Batman. Moon Knight is a great concept. When you speak about his cab driver persona I envision people on the corner tapping their toes looking at their watches like $hit I'm gonna be late!!!

Speaking of Jarvis and the butler doing it, you should do a video on the story that introduces Ultron, in Avengers #54 and #55. Jarvis sells out the Avengers to the Masters of Evil, gets betrayed by their then current leader, the Crimson Cowl, and then is revealed as the Crimson Cowl (with the other one being a robot dummy), all in one issue! Then in the next issue it turns out the robot dummy the Crimson Cowl was using was actually Ultron, who was the real Crimson Cowl after all, and he’d just hypnotized Jarvis, because a stern look was enough to hypnotize people back in the 60s. Seriously, in one of the First Doctor serials, the main characters get shrunk down and are almost hypnotized by looking into the eyes of a completely ordinary cat.

Please please please cover the Defenders issue where Moon Knight escapes a death trap with a beer can!

Seinkewicz did start out emulating Adams. The two did those back covers as tongue in cheek fun over the comparisons. After all, people like Bucema, Steranko, Romita Sr., etc., all started imitating Kirby (becoming the Marvel House Style), before their material became more distinctive. The end product lending it self to better storytelling. Moon Knight, I’ve always felt, bore more story resemblance to the Shadow than Batman. The Shadow occasionally disguised himself, was a wealthy “man about town”, employing a number of operatives. Included: a cab driver, a sharp shooter, and an information/communication specialist. Not to mention his “female companion”, socialite Margo Lane, who was apprised of his secret activities. Sound familiar? Also, a French guy named Frenchie? What are the odds? (Says a Star Trek fan)

The thing that makes him most like The Shadow, especially the original Pulp shadow rather than the Radio version is that his "Real" persona is the soldier. Marc Spector Marine and CIA agent being equivalent to the true Shadow: Kent Allard WW1 pilot Veteran, with Steven Grant as Lamont Cranston. (Though without the angle of there being a real Steven Grant that Marc is impersonating.) Making them all part of his DID helps alleviate the similarity a bit.

I watched the trailer just before this video, and whenever you mentioned his girlfriend, I kept thinking of the line in the trailer where he's asking why she called him Mark... And after what you said about it being interesting to have the love interest know about his different personalities, I can't help but think about how difficult that'd be if they did give the character actual multiple personalities. She'd constantly be having to reassure him that she wasn't cheating on him after calling him by the wrong name when she didn't know which personality she was talking to at any given time. It would be kinda cool if he had three different personalities but they all fell in love with the same woman, though.

Her hair type is not one that lends itself to self-styling. Which doesn't fully answer your question, but may give you some insight into what's going on.

Head cannon - The company that employed Jake the taxi driver is owned by Steven the millionaire. Steven leaves word not to fire Jake - Jake in turn pays (from Steven's money) enough 'fare' money to make it look like when he does work he's a go getter. As long as no one sees them together its good. Truth be told I was never a fan of the split personality thing - I now see why they did it - so I'll think about that. If you ever do a follow up on Moon Knight can you dive into the Egyptian background. It was always confusing for me as with retcons on retcons its sometimes hard to follow.

THe split personality twist on the alternate IDs helps reduce the plagiarism/derivativeness issue of the character In this story he's FAR too much like pulp LEGEND The Shadow, especially the original Pulp shadow rather than the Radio version is that his "Real" persona is the soldier. Marc Spector Marine and CIA agent being equivalent to the true Shadow: Kent Allard WW1 pilot Veteran, with Steven Grant as Lamont Cranston. (Though without the angle of there being a real Steven Grant that Marc is impersonating, while Lamont Cranston was a real dude in the pulps, Kent Allard just looked a lot like him and stole his life while he was away in Europe, then pressganged him into service as an agent.)

That Crawley guy's good! I would TOTALLY want to read an entire series about him!

The "Hello, there" was unexpected, but very much welcome.

Moon Knight has been one of my favorite characters with his personality problems and his sometimes mystical powers.

Moon Knight certainly had his share of goofy in early appearances. The next one, in Defenders #47, has him in Hackensack, NJ thinking of the place as "his territory". Considering that the city had about 36 thousand residents at the time, that would make for some very interesting untold tales. As for his superstrength, it was barely mentioned and may well never have existed. But he claims to have it in #29, as Sasha shows in one of the panels; and in 1981's Moon Knight #6 he decides/finds out that he no longer has it. He may have been deluded (easy to believe given his character), or he may have been resistant to lycanthropy due to the silver in his costume, or Konshu's protection, or both. Or maybe he was just lucky enough to have been exposed just enough to gain some temporary benefits. That happens in comics.

Also, "Rabbit" was slang for a smaller, leaner, often seen as weaker type male. Or, at least one you would assume could not fight. It was the Werewolf basically calling Moon Knight too small to fight. He was taunting him.

I would like to see more Moon Knight. I never really knew much about the character, and his backstory is so convoluted it seemed impenetrable. Breakdowns like these help in understanding the character quite a bit.

Moon knight is so awesome and, in my opinion, often misused. I think he has a greater potential as a character that is often close but inevitably falls short. And from the trailer I think the Disney Plus show will be good but land so far from what I love about the Character

Since MK is a Manhattan hero I think it’d be really cool to have a secret identity show up only in Sony Spider-Man movies and using MK to pull those universes together again when necessary

It's true that Moon Knight is not Marvel's Batman; he is The Shadow. Much like how Doug Moench was inspired by Mack Bolan: The Executioner in creating the Punisher, Moon Knight has many similarities with The Shadow. Both are soldiers of fortune who are believed to have died overseas. They then return to New York under the guise of a "wealthy young man-about-town." They also take on a masked persona to fight crime, a blue-collar persona to collect information and develop a network of informants/agents. Both of them get around down discretely on the streets in a taxi cab and have unique air transportation (Gyrocopter/Mooncopter). For comparison: Shadow -> Moon Knight Kent Allard -> Marc Spector Lamont Cranston -> Steven Grant Fritz -> Jake Lockley and among the supporting cast: Harry Vincent -> Bertrand Crawley Moses "Moe" Shrevnitz, a.k.a. "Shrevvy" -> Jean-Paul Du Champ a.k.a. "Frenchie" Margo Lane -> Marlene Alraune Burbank -> Gena Landers Or I could be completely off my rocker. Anyway, thank you for attending my TedTalk.

A lot of his inspiration I suspect was the Shadow (multiple secret identities.) Conquer-Lord was terrible though a better name and costume and they could bring a version of him back...

I like that they indicated that there was some things about Moon Knight that sounded like aspects of him might be considered supper human, but are vague enough to pass as myths. Thus the audience have some confusion about what Moon Knight is/isn't capable of. In the way he's embellished this inconsistency makes sense; he can go anywhere from an avengers level threat to tangling with crooks, to fighting super natural monsters, depending on how in tune with his God he is. The instincts and strength of a wearwolf? Sure, sounds like the kind of thing he would put in just to throw people off.

I've forgotten pretty much everything I've read about 90s Moon Knight except that they leaned much more on the Marc Spector alias than the others and that my young early teenage brain originally had difficulty telling Moon Knight and Sleepwalker apart at first.

It's the reason I bought the next one [where they retconned Marc Spector's origins, adding Knoshu (It's been a while so I'm not sure how it was spelt) Egyptian 'God of the Moon'), retooled the alternate personas (with their own set of skills) as being tied to the phases of the moon, but he's able to bring out personas as necessary].

I'd love to see you cover the current Kami Garcia Teen Titans comics about beast boy and raven
