2 [[caption-width-right:350: He peeked into the mind of a madman. This is what happened next.]]
3
4* For starters Moon Knight has canonically ''[[http://loonymooney.tumblr.com/image/98584163408 bitch-slapped Black Panther]]''
5* Sliced up Deadpool so badly in a no holds barred fight he made the Merc With A Mouth literally cry uncle.
6* Realizing that he cannot beat Taskmaster in a one-on-one fight, Moon Knight comes to the rational solution of ''[[CrazyEnoughToWork ramming an airplane straight at him when he least expects it.]]'' [[CrazyEnoughToWork It works.]]
7* Speaking of Taskmaster, the guy is unable to copy Moon Knight's fighting style for the same reason he can't read Deadpool's either; they both like to take the hits and are so crazy and unpredictable.
8* The title character taking on Count Nefaria (a villain who's on the same power-level as freaking ''Thor'') in a one-on-one fight and actually holding his own. In fact he was so angry (The Count had killed his friend Echo) that he managed to make the Count ''retreat''. [[WhatDidIDoLastNight When Moon Knight woke up after, he found himself chained to a hospital bed.]]
9* In the 2018 Avengers series, Marc successfully took the Iron Fist from Danny Rand, the Hellcharger from Robbie Reyes (Ghost Rider) and was able to stop Mjolnir midthrow telepathically and knocked out Thor with it due to the hammer being made of ''moon rock''.
10** This quest culminates in Moon Knight confronting Mephisto and promptly killing him by throwing Mjolnir through his chest.
11* The [[ComicBook/MoonKnight2014 2014 series]].
12** First issue: Mr. Knight vs. the Slasher.
13---> '''Mr. Knight''': I stopped you two minutes ago. [[YouAreAlreadyDead Look down]].
14** Second issue: Surprisingly it isn't even Moon Knight, one of the sniper's intended victims found out what was going on, came out of the elevator as the sniper and Moon Knight were fighting and just shot him, ending the threat right there and then.
15*** This exchange during the fight with the sniper:
16----> '''Sniper''': Why can't I hit you?\
17'''Moon Knight''': [[BadassBoast I'm not real.]]
18** Third issue: Moon Knight punches ghosts! Nuff said!
19** Fifth issue:
20*** Mr. Knight beats his way through a building filled with criminals to rescue a kidnapping victim and when the last one tries to get away via the roof he orders his Mooncopter to [[GoombaStomp plaster]] him leaving the kidnapper a bloody mess and him in the position to give a BadassBoast.
21--->'''Mr. Knight:''' Listen. Where are you going? Tell your friends. Tell everyone you meet. You tell them all. When you see me coming? ''[[DontAskJustRun RUN.]]''
22*** We also see how Mr. Knight [[https://external-preview.redd.it/9DGihU7GvBN5SufuOsgCNPrDM7yNEgbS5NGXKgU5klI.jpg?auto=webp&s=10634704299dda9da2fcde99df6746946885e21e handles a hostage situation]].
23** Sixth issue: The All-New Black Spectre actually gets Moon Knight on the ropes and even manages to destroy his limo and predator drone. He only really loses due to his own sloppiness.
24*** Moon Knight gets his own CMOA with his short, succinct [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech verbal takedown]] of the newcomer, implying some vague respect for the old Black Spectre.
25** Seventh issue: While chasing a high tech assassin that just blacked out New York City after Moon Knight interferes with his mission, Moon Knight still takes the time to stop looters and potentially over anxious police from escalating things into a full blown riot along the way.
26** Fifteenth issue: After being [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] by a bogeyman that had been stalking and eating children, and with Khonshu telling him it isn't any of his business, Moon Knight tells the god where to stick it. Without Khonshu's blessing or even taking the time to fully recover, he goes to his armory and loads up so that when the bogeyman next shows itself, it ends up facing a heavily-armed former mercenary who is quite skilled with GunsAkimbo.
27* The [[ComicBook/MoonKnight2016 2016 series]].
28** From issue one:
29--->'''Khonshu:''' He must be stopped. But first you must turn around.
30--->'''Marc Spector:''' What? Why?
31--->''(Cut to the orderlies from the mental hospital, now revealed to be humanoid dog creatures)''
32--->'''Khonshu:''' Because it is time to kick some [[PrecisionFStrike ass.]]
33** Issue Two:
34--->'''Frenchie''': Where is Marc?
35--->''(Moon Knight in full "Mr. Knight" white suit and mask appears)''
36---> '''Moon Knight''': I'm here. We are dealing with an invasion of Immortals from another dimension, and we are on the clock people. Let's rock.
37---> '''Khonshu''': That's my boy.
38** Issue Seven: [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Spaceship Pilot Marc Spector dogfights Space Werewolves on the moon]].
39** Issue Fourteen: [[CrazySane Taking ownership of his own insanity]], Marc/Jake/Steven/Moon Knight ''[[KillTheGod kills]]'' Khonshu with their bare hands:
40---> '''Marc Spector''': I am Marc Spector.\
41'''Steven Grant''': I am Steven Grant.\
42'''Jake Lockley''': I am Jake Lockley. And we are going to be okay. We are going to live with '''who we are'''.\
43'''Moon Knight''': '''We are Moon Knight.''' And we never needed you.
44* The [[ComicBook/MoonKnight2021 2021 series]]:
45** Moon Knight arm wrestles Frankenstein's Monster.
46** Mr. Knight deals with a MindControl villain by allowing him to try to control him... only to completely MindRape him just by showing him the damage Khonshu did to his mind, as shown by the image above.
47--->'''Mr. Knight''': You've never seen anything like what's in ''my'' head. I'm not even talking about my mental illness. I'm sure that something like [[SplitPersonality Dissociative Identity Disorder]] is old hat for you. After all, you're sharing space in someone's mind. [-LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING NEW. YOU, WHO HAVE TOUCHED ANY NUMBER OF MINDS... HOW DOES IT FEEL TO TOUCH THE TRULY ALIEN? THE UNIVERSE IS COMPOSED ALMOST ENTIRELY OF DARKNESS, HAWLEY. IT'S THE DEFAULT STATE. AN UNCARING, INDIFFERENT NOTHING. COLD. IMPENETRABLE. LITTLE WONDER, THEN, WHEN EARLY MAN LOOKED UP FROM THE TERRIFYING DARKNESS OF NIGHT, BESET BY PREDATORS AND WORSE, AND SAW LIGHT... THEY WORSHIPPED IT AS A GOD. MINE IS THE COLD FIRE OF THE MOON. MINE IS THE TIDAL PULL ON THE SALT-BLOOD BEATING THROUGH YOUR HEART. MINE IS THE SILVER MADNESS THAT ILLUMINATES BUT DOES NOT WARM. '''COME AND WORSHIP.'''-]
48** Moon Knight, confronting the Vermin (an old enemy of Spider-Man), gives him one hell of a BadassBoast.
49--->'''Moon Knight''': Now you can clone yourself. Good trick. Means you're never alone. Unless I kill all of you right now. And I can. And I will. I'm not Spider-Man. I'm Moon Knight. And I don't die.
50** Mr. Knight figures out where the ArcVillain, Tutor, is hosting a dinner party for New York's vampire elite. He crashes the party with Tigra as his "date" and has the sprinkler system activate to drench the vampires in water. Initially, it's pretty harmless... until Mr. Knight reminds all the vampires that he's a ''priest''. A priest that can consecrate water into ''holy water''. Cue all the vampires burning to death, with all the stragglers killed off by Mr. Knight, Tigra, and Hunter's Moon. This whole display of awesome culminates in one hell of an AscendedMeme:
51--->'''Mr. Knight''' ''[to TheRenfield]'': You're going to leave this place, and you're going to go straight back to Chernobyl. You're going to deliver a message. You're going to tell Dracula this is what happens when you make a move on New York.
52* In tune with Moon Knight's crazy, unpredictable methodology to win, he decides to lure Bullseye to an underwater base he owns and [[TakingYouWithMe set it off to explode with the both of them in it]]. While it doesn't kill either of them, it was enough for Bullseye [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness to be terrified and run like hell]] [[OhCrap out of there and swim to shore.]]
