What is Moon Knight?
[[File:Supanova Day 2 - Cosplay of Moon Knight.jpg|thumb|Cosplay of Moon Knight.]] {{For|the television series|Moon Knight (TV series)}} '''Moon Knight''' is a [[fictional character]] from [[Marvel Comics]]. He is a [[superhero]] with [[dissociative identity disorder]]. Moon Knight is the [[alter ego]] of '''Marc Spector'''. The character was created in 1975 by [[Doug Moench]] and [[Don Perlin]] as an [[antagonist]] for the [[comic book]] ''[[Werewolf by Night]]''. ==Comic book history== In his first appearance in 1975, Marc Spector was hired as a [[mercenary]] against the [[protagonist]] of the comic book ''Werewolf by Night,'' Jack Russel. [[Editor]]s [[Len Wein]] and [[Marv Wolfman]] then decided that instead of being an [[antagonist]], Moon Knight would be a [[superhero]]. Moench and Perlin then wrote a story giving him a [[secret identity]] as a [[millionaire]] named Steven Grant. Moench then decided to write a story where Steven Grant uses the [[alias]] Jake Lockley. As Lockley, he pretends to be a [[taxi]] driver to find [[information]] about [[criminal]]s. This was done so that Marc Spector would have more than one [[secret identity]]. Moench wrote two comic books where Marc Spector joked that he had [[schizophrenia]]. He wrote another where his [[girlfriend]] asks Marc if he has a [[split personality]] and he says he knows he is just [[acting]] when saying he is Steven Grant or Jake Lockley. After Moench left the comic, [[writer]] Steven Grant wrote the story so that Marc Spector had [[multiple personality disorder]]. == In other media == [[Oscar Isaac]] played [[Marc Spector (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|the character]] in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU) miniseries ''[[Moon Knight (miniseries)|Moon Knight]]'' (2022). {{Stub}} [[Category:Marvel Comics superheroes]] [[Category:Avengers (comics) characters]]
