Posted by USAgentfan on July 12, 2006, 11:52:11, in reply to "Re: How about people talk about whether or not they LIKED the issue??" --Previous Message-- I think the entire point of the current story is to display that Marc Spector is a man probably approaching his middle years and clearly past his best as a hero. His objective is not to attain the same dizzy heights of skill as posessed by the likes of Cap, but to recapture as best as he can his own glory days - days in which even at his best he could never dream of quite reaching the same peak of ability as posessed by Cap, DD or Iron Fist. If MK were a young man then I would expect him to perhaps be able to improve on his previous best. However, MK is a fairly old man now with a series of extremely serious injuries behind him so its going to take every ounce of determination for him to even be able to compete at all. I'd liken him in some ways to Frank Millers Batman in 'The Dark Knight Returns'. Clearly he is not in the physical shape he once was, but he has experience and abilities that still make him a very formidible opponant. I don't want Moonknight to lose every Neither do I, but I also dont want him to be able to breeze to victory without breaking a sweat. I ultimately want MK to win, but I want and expect him to have to try harder than other heroes in order to do so. Ultimately I think this would only make him a more endearing character. I like I'm a big fan of the catchphrase 'Box smarter, not harder'. I think this is something that MK will have to adopt in order to compete in the current MU. Moonknight has been a Moonknights never been a chump - hes a VERY good fighter - just not a Wolverine, Daredevil or Captain America. Like I said earlier, its going to take everything hes got just to restore his own status quo. Physically improving beyond that may be difficult, but I think that there are other ways for MK to level the playing field against technically better opponants. Afterwards,I want Moonknight And I think this is the key. MK's worst enemy has always been himself - self doubt, multiple personalities and a feeling of inadequacy have always held him back. If Moonknight don't set Which appears to be what the current arc is all about - MK getting out of the funk that he has existed in for years and clawing his way back up the super hero tree. It will be a day and time, Like Taskmaster in the next issue. Taskmaster is technically a much better fighter than MK ever was, so MK is going to have to pull something special out of the bag to defeat him. He will. I hope. Moonknight use his Also it remains to be seen what role Khonshu will play. Will MK be serving himself, or will he serve the higher power that Khonshu represents. Again, different writers have displayed MK as having different attitudes towards the suggestion that a God gave him his powers and resurrected him. MK often hasnt known what to believe.

It remains to be seen whether MK will still posess the super strength. Its an ability that some writers have chosen to use, but the majority have either ignored or remained non committal towards.
