For years, the offbeat hero has been a comic fan-favourite, partly due to the dark humour injected into the titular figure\u2019s personalities, often serving as an off-kilter foil against some of the universe\u2019s more stable figures like The Avengers and Spider-Man. <\/span><\/p>\n Marc Spector\/Moon Knight has also been one of Marvel\u2019s most reinterpreted figures, partially due to his complex backstory involving the intertwining of his possible Dissociative Identity Disorder with his status as the vessel for the Egyptian god of the Moon, Khonshu<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n As a result, unlike many of the other Marvel heroes, many of Moon Knight\u2019s comic runs can feel like a re-introduction to the character, with his backstory and the personalities of his various identities shifting and changing. So what has Disney Plus\u2019 <\/span>Moon Knight<\/span> taken from the comics, and what has it introduced? Starting with the first episode \u2013 so be warned, there are episode 1 spoilers ahead<\/strong> \u2013 let\u2019s take a look\u2026<\/span><\/p> It\u2019s clear from this debut that Steven is aware he suffers from <\/span>some<\/span><\/i> kind of disorder, however, he chalks it up to a sleeping issue initially. Marc\u2019s diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder began in Alan Zelenetz & Chris Warner\u2019s run called \u2018Fist of Khonshu\u2019, where it was revealed as a side-effect of Marc maintaining multiple personas in his head. <\/span><\/p>\n The reality of this illness has been intentionally complicated over the years \u2013 for example, Warren Ellis\u2019 run depicted Marc\u2019s ailment of different personalities as the result of brain damage due to Khonshu\u2019s brain chemistry alterations.<\/span><\/p>\n However, one of the most influential runs for the MCU\u2019s incarnation appears to be Jeff Lemire\u2019s <\/span>Moon Knight <\/span>Volume 8. Lemire revised Marc\u2019s history to reflect a life-long struggle with DID from childhood, with Steven Grant the first identity to emerge during this time. The show\u2019s initial focus and centring of Steven seem to imply that Lemire\u2019s run will have a greater influence on the show as it develops.<\/span><\/p>\n Read more: What are Moon Knight\u2019s powers?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Another addition from Zelenetz and Warner\u2019s run is the first and only appearance of Ethan Hawke\u2019s sinister minister Arthur Harrow. His comic-book counterpart is a Nobel Prize-nominated scientist who researches pain theory; Harrow\u2019s glass penance in the show could be referencing the character\u2019s origins, but aside from that, Hawke\u2019s Harrow and his comic-book version are like night and day. <\/span><\/p>\n Still, there might be a reason for this. Show-Harrow\u2019s cult-like following and dedication to Ammit appear to be a potential amalgamation of Harrow and another well-known Moon Knight villain: the Sun King.<\/span><\/p>\n The Sun King has been rumoured as the \u2018true\u2019 identity of Hawke\u2019s villainous figure, and there are elements of the character that align with Harrow\u2019s reinterpretation \u2013 both become avatars for Egyptian gods and amass followers to do their bidding. While it appears Harrow is who he says he is now, it\u2019s entirely possible if it\u2019s a ruse, we may discover our <\/span>true<\/span><\/i> villain down the line.<\/span><\/p>\n This first episode is very much planting the seeds for greater reveals down the line, and one of these is a blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it hint at the appearance of a classic Moon Knight character. When Steven discovers Marc\u2019s hidden burner, whilst flicking through his recent calls, there\u2019s one to a \u2018Frenchie.\u2019 \u2018Frenchie\u2019 is better known as Jean-Paul \u201cFrenchie\u201d Duchamp<\/strong> in the comics, Marc\u2019s close friend and often a sidekick throughout the <\/span>Moon Knight<\/span> series.<\/span><\/p>\n Given Frenchie\u2019s name-drop, it seems likely that we will also see Raul Bushman<\/strong> in some capacity down the line \u2013 Bushman is integral to the origin of Marc and Khonshu\u2019s relationship, and is one of the most prolific Moon Knight villains. It feels inevitable that we\u2019ll get more on the history between Bushman and Spector as the series progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n During the production of <\/span>Moon Knight<\/span>, rumours swirled that we may see a potential Werewolf-By-Night cameo. This is due to the fact that Moon Knight\u2019s comic debut actually came in <\/span>Werewolf by Night <\/span>#32, where he attempted to take down the lycanthropic figure, making a possible Jack Russell appearance not out of the realm of possibility, especially as Marvel is set to introduce the character in his own special later this year. <\/span><\/p>\n However, as it turns out, that possible werewolf sighting in the trailer was <\/span>actually<\/span><\/i> the jackal that Harrow sets upon Steven in the episode\u2019s closing moments. Perhaps we\u2019ll instead see their confrontation leap onto our screens this Halloween.<\/span><\/p>\n Moon Knight releases new episodes on Disney Plus on Wednesdays \u2013 sign up to Disney Plus for \u00a37.99 a month or \u00a379.90 a year<\/a>\u00a0now.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our Fantasy<\/a> coverage or visit our TV Guide<\/a> to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
