5/20/2023 0 Comments More Than Human by Doug MoenchWith his first foray in live action coming to the small screen for Disney+ this year, there’s reason to hope the character’s background remains a big part of him. His Judaism is a reflection of his creators and the context they wove into his expanding mythology. Spector’s Jewishness is an important part of his character, not only informing casual personality traits, but adding depth and richness to his stories. His prime alter-ego, Marc Spector, is the son of a rabbi who fled Czechoslovakia for Chicago. Though the character has more than one alias (or more than one personality, depending on the canon), his core self has a specific origin, one that adds meat to his story. His costume is cool, his origin is fantastic, and his persona is complex. Sometimes referred to as Marvel’s Batman, Moon Knight is a cowl clad vigilante partial to darkness. Moon Knight's MCU debut is a thrill for fans of the underappreciated Marvel character, and great reason for newcomers to meet the moonlit hero.
