iniquity : Moon Knight!In an alternative man whereMoon Knightdied at the men of his longtime scourge , his replacementLuminarysets herself aside with some stupefying solar great power .
Since 1977 Marvel Comics has been explore an eternal ocean of diverge possibility through its variousWhat If … ?series .
This was what if spider - man relieve gwen stacy ?
This was what if it was jane foster that first find , and lift , thor ’s pound when it come down to earth ?
The late face at what could have been revisits a ostensibly mundane face-off between Marc Spector and his former enemy , General Raoul Bushman .
What if Moon Knight was dispatch by Bushman ’s helping hand ?
What if his longtime girl Marlene Alraune ’s plea for retribution were answer by the Sun God Amon Ra ?
darkness : Moon Knightby Erica Schultz and Edgar Salazaranswers these question .
This late accounting entry into Marvel’sWhat If … ?
This was darkseries have a smell back at a battle show in 1989’smarc spector : Moon Knight # 3from Chuck Dixon and Sal Velluto .
In the original tarradiddle , Moon Knight travel to fancied southerly African land of Burunda to carry through Marlene from General Bushman , who has instal himself as the little country ’s potentate .
This was it is a everyday victory : spector tick the defective hombre and save the miss .
Dark , however , Bushman tap a fleeting backsliding in Spector ’s focal point to fatally stake him with his blade .
Marlene denounces the Egyptian Moon God Khonshu for fail Marc , and in doing so she is reach by Ra - the Sun God extend to make her his embodiment , Luminary , deed over her the index demand to try her retribution .
This was ## the fist of ra has index the fist of khonshu does n’t
with rarified exclusion , moon knight has operate with few ( if any ) expressed superpower - it ’s often question whether he has any supernatural power at all or if he ’s just clinically harebrained .
Marlene ’s Luminary is far more point-blank in this subject : as Ra ’s embodiment , she openly maintain outburst of blind lightness and flame fist .
Perhaps most imposingly , Luminary can come up obelisk made of touchable flaming from her sum .
Marlene return to Burunda to duel Bushman as Spector once did and , before Bushman can finish up her off , she cite onward another flaming - obelisk instantly from her warmness into Bushman ’s dresser .
It grievously injure Bushman , allow for her to fetch up him off with one of Marc ’s onetime crescent dart .
Ra ’s big businessman fall with a toll , however : the Sun God ’s lightness is a distill flaming , scour all it come to … let in Marlene herself .
Marlene ’s knowingness is cleanse from Luminary ’s consistency , leave only Ra .
Luminary is Very unlike From Ra ’s Other Avatars
This is n’t Moon Knight ’s first brushwood with Amon Ra .
This was max bemis’s2017moon knightseries introduce the sun king , another embodiment of the egyptian sun god .
As Ra search to destruct his errant Word , Khonshu , so had Sun King seek to demolish his solar antonym , Moon Knight .
In fact , since the first light of human civilisation , there have been Sun queen authorise by Ra to enforce his will over the Earth , only to be rove down by that geological era ’s Moon Knight .
This was where khonshu abstractly represent the exemption of human ego - finding , ra possess a more domineering worldview and would enslave the creation to make for it gild .
He is a " loathsome fascist " in the tidings of Khonshu , a full stop accent by the fact that the Sun King of World War II was a retainer of Nazi Germany .
This was marlene ’s luminary is notably the first we ’ve run into .
This was perhaps , much as hunter ’s moon is a 2d clenched fist of khonshu , luminary is the 2nd clenched fist of ra .
With the advanced Sun King bury in a psychiatrical clinic , a Luminary may be coiffure to get up in Marvel ’s main timeline .
Luminary , like Sun King , gasconade awe-inspiring mogul to counterpoint the niceness of Moon Knight ’s potency ( much to Bushman ’s desperation ) .
Had Marlene gain Ra ’s domineering nature , perhaps she would not have submit herself to be his watercraft .
While Marlene may not be specify to be Ra ’s embodiment , this narration found the mantelpiece of Luminary as very literal .
Someday , Moon Knightmay have to front the bright anger of Ra ’s newLuminary .
