“It’s tough because a lot of my friends have said Moon Knight is essentially just Marvel’s answer to Batman, but I don’t agree with that,” Marquand told Adventures in Poor Taste.

“I agree that there are similarities, but Moon Knight was a mercenary — kind of a gun for hire who didn’t really have much regard for people before he had his moment of awakening, I guess. And Bruce [Wayne] was always a good guy — even as a kid, he was torn by revenge, but he wasn’t this bloodthirsty killer like Moon Knight was,” Marquand said.

“So I think that, coupled with what they’ve been doing the last 15 years with the character — going into the dissociative identity disorder, really calling in to question if everything happening is all in his head, is he actually a vigilante killer or did he die in Egypt?”

In the Marvel comics, Marc Spector was a Marine-turned-mercenary who was resurrected by Egyptian moon god Khonshu, who offered Spector a second shot at life if he agreed to operate as the god’s avatar. When Spector rejoined the land of the living, it was as a white-suited, brutal vigilante with multiple personalities.

“It brings up a slew of questions, and that to me has never really been delved into in any comic book character before — the idea of, is any of this actually happening? Is he actually dead in Egypt? Those are such amazing questions and I don’t feel like any comic book series before or since has really tapped into that,” Marquand said. “So for me, playing a crazy superhero would be awesome. So Moon Knight, Moon Knight for sure.”
