Moon Knight Episode 3 showcases Marc’s unique powers that would make the MCU character the perfect Avenger in Captain America’s eyes.
Warning: SPOILERS ahead for moon knight episode 3!
The titular character’s powers on display in moon knight Episode 3 proves he’s the perfect Avenger by Captain America’s standards. Oscar Isaac portrays the character developed, a mercenary named Marc Spector, who currently serves as an avatar for an Egyptian god known as Khonshu, in addition to Marc’s Quirk, Steven Grant, from his dissociative disorder. identity (DID). Moon Knight is one of the newest characters to make his live-action debut in the MCU, and he’ll likely have a long future in the franchise, especially given his powers.
In Marvel Comics, Moon Knight drew comparisons to Batman, relying on hand-to-hand combat and gadgets rather than superhuman abilities. The Disney+ series, however, delves into the magic of Egyptian gods, allowing Marc (and Steven) to possess the divine empowerment of Khonshu. As an avatar, a special Moon Knight costume can be summoned at any time, and with it comes the power of superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and summoning weapons, as seen with the Crescent Darts, aka Moonarangs. Additionally, Moon Knight’s power also leads to a special ability that puts Isaac’s character in an advantageous position.
If Moon Knight becomes the MCU’s version of Batman, he has a bright future ahead of him. While the current Avengers lineup would look very different in the post-Thanos era, the franchise will inevitably feature more team-up events. While Captain America will always be around in the form of Sam Wilson, the loss of Steve Rogers to Chris Evans is a void that will never be filled. Steve’s selfless attitude and perseverance were major factors in him becoming the first super-soldier and, in turn, Captain America. Decades later, Cap was still the perfect soldier, but as a superhero he never backed down or gave up in a fight, as his “I can do this all daytagline. That said, a specific battle cry from Avengers: Age of Ultron revealed Captain America’s ideal image of an Avenger, and Moon Knight’s regenerative healing power perfectly emulates Cap’s idea of a perfect Avenger.
Moon Knight’s healing power is reminiscent of Cap’s Age of Ultron battle cry
During the Battle of Sokovia in Age of UltronCaptain America let out a new battle cry, telling his fellow Avengers: “You’re hurt, hurt them back. You get killed… go aheadAlong with Ultron, Cap and the rest of the Avengers were forced to battle Ultron’s AI robot army while trying to protect the innocent citizens of Sokovia. Steve’s message was meant to inspire his team, showing that backing down wasn’t an option because they weren’t leaving until the job was done.While some of the team showed their mortality, like Quicksilver, Moon Knight would essentially be the personification of the battle cry of Cap. moon knight episode 3, Marc shows his healing powers after being impaled by several spears. An ordinary person would have been killed, but not Marc, who quickly healed using the costume. Steven’s quick-healing jaw wound earlier in the season also implies that the character has healing powers without the costume.
Anyway, the fact that Moon Knight could technically sustain injuries that would result in the death of a normal person but would be able to”go awayis a great callback to Captain America and the Age of Ultron battle cry. It also suggests that Moon Knight would be an ideal candidate for Cap’s hero team. so you’ll never have the chance to fight side by side with Moon Knight. That said, Moon Knight’s healing powers and “go away“Mindset is a great way to carry on Cap’s legacy during battle.
