Moon Knight's about to get his own Disney+ TV series, so people want to know more about Marvel's mysterious mercenary-turned-hero and his comic book beginnings. Look no further than this, the first chapter in the MOON KNIGHT READING ORDER. Is Marc Spector really the recipient of super-human powers from Khonshu, Egyptian god of the moon? Or is Moon Knight just another part of his fragmented personality.
Moon Knight tries to keep his psychological a secret while fighting side-by-side with Spider-Man, Iron Man, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and more, eventually becoming a member of the Avengers. But can he keep his hardcore stance on justice under control long enough to hang on to his Avengers membership?
As always, I'd like to thank the guys over at the Marvel Chronology Project. I've used their work as a basis and then worked out my own version of the Marvel Universe continuity from there.
