Moon Knight

Moon Knight is an awesome character who has yet to be given a chance in a live adaptation – but he’s one who’s often talked about as the star of a potential television show and he definitely deserves such an opportunity.

He is Marc Spector – the son of an American rabbi whose professions have included being a heavyweight boxer, a U.S. Marine and a mercenary (so a show with him as the star would definitely be action-packed).

While working for the African mercenary Raoul Bushman, Spector took umbrage to the fact that Bushman both intended to loot the dig they were working on and the fact that he killed his friend Jean-Paul “Frenchie” DuChamp. He challenged him to a duel, defeated him, but died from his injuries. However, roaming worshipers of the Egyptian gods saved him and the all-powerful god Khonshu offered him a second chance at life if he became his avatar on Earth.

He used the power granted to him by Khonshu – superhuman physical attributes and great martial arts skills – to become a crime fighter. He also created a number of alter-egos (such as that of a taxi driver) to keep in touch with with the crime-filled streets and the whole thing would make one hell of a television show.
