Moon Knight

Comixology comic book app logo

Moon Knight debuted in Werewolf by Night #32 (August 1975) as a mercenary hired to capture the title character. The creative team gave Moon Knight moon-related symbols and silver weapons (a metal poisonous to a werewolf) to mark him as a suitable antagonist for the werewolf hero. In Spectacular Spider-Man #22-23 (September/October 1978) Moon Knight was recast as a more heroic character. Many consider Moon Knight to be Marvel’s version of Batman.
