Moon Knight (who is compared to Batman) was created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin, and first appeared in Werewolf by Night in 1975. Since then he has appeared alongside the Avengers, Secret Avengers, and the X-Men, including She-Hulk (who also has a series coming up). Unless the MCU completely rewrites its origin story, Moon Knight could revolve around the character of Marc Spector, who is a former boxer who becomes a marine and later a mercenary. After becoming involved with the Egyptian gods, Spector is offered a second chance by becoming the avatar of a god on Earth. This god calls himself “The Fist of Khonshu”, and Khonshu was the ancient Egyptian god of the moon.

Spector has military training and all the basic skills of a good soldier, and as a superhero he has a high tolerance for pain and the powers of the moon god, whose powers depend on lunar cycles, which makes him a very powerful character. In addition, he wears an adamantium- constructed suit that is practically indestructible.
