Moon Knight's strength increased with the phases of the moon for some time after being bitten by the Werewolf (by Night) through his silver chain mail. The effects of the bite gradually faded away. The same strength increase/ phase of the moon relationship was brought back in the Fist of Konshu series, but was apparently bestowed upon him by Konshu's priests (if I remember correctly). I think that Moonie's powers have been a lot like his relationship with Konshu, i.e. mysterious and often times confusing. Marc's strength, ressurections, and relationship with Konshu serve to add elements of supernatural confusion to his already unstable psyche. Moon Knight is constantly plagued by self doubt, and the awareness that he might be crazy. The only things that kept him on track were the people who love him (Frenchie and Marlene), his desire for justice and/or vengence, and his love of kicking ass. He's highly skilled, unpredictable, and will come back from the dead to take care of business. And now he's finally back in a comic where he's getting the caliber of literary treatment that he deserves.
