The Book of Moon Knight

That really stinks about your issues with the server lately A3n. I hope it works out again, but this time I hope the problem doesn't return. I may need to put in a complaint.

Don't know what it is, but I am still having issues with it.

(1) Fixing some minor spelling items in Bio (opting for personae as plural instead of persona's), plus some comma graffiti on my part:

Spoiler Alert!

Character Bio - Before becoming Moon Knight, Marc Spector had been a prize fighter, served two tours as a Marine and served as a field agent in the CIA. After leaving the CIA he became a soldier for hire, where he met and befriended Frenchie Duchamp. The two took on well paying assignments mostly in Africa and South America, and Marc invested his earnings wisely. They took on a job in Sudan for Raoul Bushman, who was in the business for the killing, whereas Spector and Duchamp were in it for the money. After Bushman massacred a village and killed an archaeologist named Peter Alraune in search of a an Egyption Pharoh's tomb, Spector had enough and took the Alraune's daughter Marlene to safety in the tomb. He then challenged Bushman, but was mortally wounded. He managed to get back to the tomb before collapsing, where Marlene and Spector's crew got him back into the tomb and laid him at the feet of an idol of Khonshu. Spector's spirit encountered Khonshu, who offered to save his life if he would serve him, and Spector agreed. When he awoke, he thought the encounter just a hallucination, then went and punished Bushman's men, but Bushman escaped.

Spector left the mercenary business to move to New York with Duchamp and Marlene Alraune, who was now his lover. He wanted to do some good, so he decided to fight crime as Moon Knight. He developed other personae as well, such as Steven Grant, a financier, and Jake Lockley, a cab driver. While Steven Grant took Spector's investments and made more money, Jake Lockley developed a network of informants to help him fight crime as Moon Knight. Over time, his four personae of Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley, and Moon Knight had put mental stress on Spector, but it had served to save him later in his career when a powerful enemy had tried but failed to mind control him while he was rescuing the West Coast Avengers in ancient Egypt. He later joined the West Coast Avengers for a while, but then left with Tigra and Mockingbird after a disagreement the three had with the rest of the team regarding killing. Since then, Moon Knight had breakdowns and did some killing as a vigilante, urged on by the spirit of Khonshu. But eventually got his act together and returned after self-exile to prove that he can fight crime without killing. He has since served Commander Rogers by infiltrating Daredevil's Shadowland fortress when he was taken over by a demon of the Hand and then served Commander Rogers as a member of the Secret Avengers.

I really like this design, particularly the Cape Glide. Airdrop is neat as well.

OP updates done, and not worried about the spoiler you mentioned. Thanks, David!

Poor Moon Knight spent all of 2012 sitting on the bench. Glad lots of these older designs are finally seeing the light of day!

[IAmBatman]

We're emptying the cupboards this year! Moon Knight's a great one - I've enjoyed playing him in Luke Cage armies for quite some time now.

[Hahma]

Yeah, this guy has been done for so long and I've played so many games with him that I keep forgetting that he hasn't been released. But now he is and I'm a happy human

[Yodaking]

He has a nice autowound role in any army with his ability to dish out 1 to two different units per turn. Might just be a top defensive pod counter. Also like his ability to drop in and hit anyone on the map with an auto skull. I could see him and Storm getting along quite well. She scatters the pod, then he drops in for a surgical strike, followed up by some auto-wounds.

[caps]

Hard to go wrong with double-autowounds!

200 Arnim Zola
150 Moon Knight
220 Storm
190 Luke Cage
~240 Winter Soldier / Captain America / Shang-Chi

Could be cool. Probably not the strongest build for any of those characters, but it has the Storm / Moon Knight combo, the Luke Cage / Moon Knight combo, possibly some other Fighters, and 2-3 targets for Arnim Zola to bring back if/when they die.

[Hahma]

Crescent Darts are a pretty nice option for sure.

I wish there was room on the card to give him Mental Shield so he can't get taken control of. This would have represented his multiple personalities that have kept him from being taken control of before. But the other powers were too important to add that little bit of extra theme nerdness
