Moon Knight's Origin

Marc Spector was not just any mercenary. He was a former boxer, Marine, and CIA operative. While attempting to loot the temple of an ancient Egyptian god called Khonshu, he was beaten nearly to death by another mercenary. Left to die in the desert, he was taken by a group of Egyptian people to the statue of their diety, the very same Khonshu. Spector nearly died, but in a vision he say the god, who offered to save his life if Spector would be his avatar on Earth. Spector agreed, and began his career as the costumed crimefighter known as Moon Knight.
