Heartwarming / Moon Knight

Go To

  • Mr. Knight's cute interaction with Scarlet, who is implied to be a reincarnated Stained Glass Scarlet. Mr. Knight is visibly amused by her noting him Becoming the Mask, and she reciprocates with a warm smirk.
  • Marc reconciling with his alters in Jeff Lemire's run, which culminates in all three alters taking the Moon Knight mantle to kill Khonshu and affirm that in spite of all their trauma, self-loathing, and mental illness, they will be okay.
  • In the 2021 run, Moon Knight kills a pair of vampires who had been attacking people in the neighborhood, only to find the truck they were driving has four newly turned vampires in it. These vampires plead for mercy, explaining that they were kidnapped and turned against their will. Moon Knight... does just that. He even goes so far as to hire one of them to be his secretary, and then defends them against his counterpart, Hunter's Moon. This gets even more heartwarming in hindsight when we're told that vampires are actually a high priority target for elimination by Khonshu's agents.
  • In the 2021 run, Moon Knight is asked to investigate an Eldritch Location that turns out to be the House of Shadows, a Genius Loci and old-school Doctor Strange villain (as in Silver Age old-school). After getting its attention by revealing he came armed with enough explosives to blow it to pieces, Moon Knight then gives it a speech about how he understands the House and isn't afraid of it. He offers to take the House as his own residence, if it will agree to stop preying on others. As all the House of Shadows really ever wanted was to be treated like an actual house, it agrees and becomes Moon Knight's new Midnight Mission.
  • Again from the 2021 run, after Mr. Knight reveals he has Dissociative Identity Disorder to his vampire secretary Reese, she sets out her support for him. It's particularly heartwarming given how he didn't think she liked him very much early on:
    Reese: Look. I know you think you've got to prove something. To the world, to your people, to the mask-and-cape set. Maybe you do. I don't know. I'm not you. But you don't have to prove anything to me. I didn't know you before all the stuff you say you're making up for. I care about who you are now. And who you are now is enough.
    Mr. Knight: Thank you, Reese. ... So do we hug now or something?
    Reese: What? Ew, no.
    Mr. Knight: So.
    (Cue awkward but comforting hug)
  • Resident Butt-Monkey 8-Ball eventually joining the Midnight Mission by the end of the 2021 run.
