10 Things Every MCU Fan Needs To Know About Moon Knight

4. He Wants To Be Seen

Vengeance of the Moon Knight
Marvel Comics

The most noticeable part about Moon Knight's design is how impossible it is NOT to notice him. The guy dresses in blinding white, with maybe a bit of black here and there to offset it, but most of the time he's just a big white splotch on the dark New York skyline.

Well, at some point, the writers explained exactly why he does this. He WANTS you to know he's coming.

Moon Knight works on anti-Batman logic. Whereas Bats works from the mindset that it scares criminals more if they don't know where he's coming from or when, Moon Knight wants you to know he's coming for your ass. And that there's nothing you can do to stop him.

Moon Knight is the one you see coming. Which you gotta imagine is quite the fear cocktail being mainlined into whatever criminal cartel he's busting up that night.
