What Is The Storyline Of The Series?
The series is the story of Marc Spector who later turns into the titular character. Marc Spector was a heavyweight boxer before becoming a US Marine. Later on, he leaves the Marines and works for the CIA occasionally. While Spector is working for the African mercenary, Raoul Bushman in Egypt, his group comes across an archaeological dig. The dig leads to the discovery of an ancient temple where they also find a statue of the Egyptian Moon God, Khonshu. Then, Spector and Bushman get into a combat and Marc is left to die by Bushman.
Spector’s heart then stops but Khonshu appears in his vision and gives him a second chance. Spector then creates a silver cloaked costume, based on the silver shroud and he becomes ‘Moon Knight’, ‘The Fist Of Khonshu’.
