He seems to be.

Yeah I'd say so. But then again I was never the biggest MK fan so that's not saying much.

I would say yes, i barely know anything about him except that he is actually talented and that i never hear about the character.

There's always a character that can do an aspect of what he does better. Plus his costume and equipment look very generic.

To his fans, not really, but not enough people seem to give him a chance...so outside of his fanboys(the few), yes...

Even though I'm obviously a fan, I'd still say yes, purely because he has had sooooooo many titles that Marvel themselves obviously believe he has value, even if the majority of readers don't.

he is like blue beetle, has a fan base of dedicated fans, but isnt as well known as others.

he does have pretty good treatment though, he is on the avengers team

Was, by the look of it. All the new info and pics on Secret Avengers are painfully absent of MK. Perhaps Remender isn't a fan.

his TV appearances so far are Blade TV series and Ultimate Spiderman. Those two series are difficult to remember nor desired by anyone. He didn't made a big deal when he appeared. I didn't see any trailers of him

He's not underrated he's just not capable of anymore than he's done. He's never going to be as popular as other street level heroes and I don't think he was intended to be. He's B-List at best.Everyone can't be top tier.

Of course he has potential to be A list. All it take is the right talent (And that's NOT Brian Bendis) Who was daredevil before Frank Miller? Hell, who was Batman before Frank Miller? a lame Saturday morning cartoon? If Charlie Houston had stayed on for another 20-25 issues, we might have actually seen that moon knight TV show.

@Vance Astro: Quality writing has changed moon knight's popularity before with Charlie Houston's reboot in 2006. I do think it's too late for moon knight since print comics are slowly dying. Like I said, just potential. He's a LONG way from it now. Too Bad Marvel are a bunch of money grubbin SOBs.

@Vance Astro: @GiantsizeManThing: I hate to admit it, but Vance is right. If you look at the sales for the most recent books, the only things to break the downward spiral are events and cover-cameos:

I would say that Moon Knight isn't underrated.His sales have been lackluster for years and Marvel still refuses to give up on him. If people aren't reading the books, maybe it's because they just don't like them. I don't know how much more they could possibly do for the character without putting his importance above their A-list.Bendis isn't the greatest writer IMO but he does have a good track record of selling books. If the best selling writer on Marvel's payroll right now can't sell his book especially now when he's had all these tie-ins to events and he was a Secret Avenger..what else can they possibly do?

I think what it comes down to is that people aren't really interested in non-powered heroes. Batman is the only high-selling exception I can think of.

No, I think he's right where he should be.

@Danial79: WOW, didn't know it dropped off that much. And to explain my previous post, the minor success the 2006 series had almost gave way to a TV show and appearance in video games. He was somewhat obscure before that. I was dead wrong. I was gonna make the same argument for the immortal iron fist, but I don't know the numbers for that series.

First, I'll say that Moon Knight/Marc Spector is my all-time favorite comic character. I'm currently undertaking the task of collecting every Moon Knight appearance, ever. However, Moon Knight is not everyone's cup of tea. He's insane, but not hilarious like Deadpool, more of a subtle humor style. I understand why a lot of people don't like him, but there definitely is a cult following for this guy.

@218Comics: Same here, I see you favor ultimate moon knight?

Yeah, Ultimate Moon Knight is just so sleek and cool. But, either way, Moon Knight is my fav,

I prefer his appearances in Secret Avengers nowadays because I feel they are more true to the character, but from what I've seen/read, he won't be in Remender's run :(

@Danial79: No he won't be in remenders run which sucks. Maybe they should bring back the west coast avengers :)

Immortal Iron Fist was selling around the mid-30s, about the same as the current Moon Knight series.

Why not, there's already a ton of Avengers titles :)

That's basically what Avengers Academy has become, actually. (They moved West).

If he ever joins their team, let me know :)

On a side-note, I just noticed I'm only 50 posts away from being Top Poster :P

Yeah, I also am enjoying his appearances in Secret Avengers (though the latest appearance came out of left field). I really wish he could be a permanent member of the Secret Avengers, not an in and out.

@218Comics: well, i think he could really be used for the vigilante with gadgets (batman esque) type character, but i think people are just too afraid to expand on him,he is a cool hero, but no one is really taking any chances with him in the team books

Have you got Round Robin? It's actually a Spider-Man arc, but it's all about MK and his ex-sidekick Jeff. I picked it up in trade not long ago and it's pretty damn fun :)

Actually I have a friend mailing me those issues right now.

Agreed... Moon Knight was a Batman rip-off to start, so why not use that creatively?

@Danial79 said:

@218Comics I know I'll probably cop flack for this, but I think (old) Moon Knight is cooler than Batman. There, I said it :)

Yeah, I could agree to that.

@vance_astro: even though that seems a bit insulting, its the plain truth. Moon Knight is what he is; a B-list character

@vance_astro: dude you always hate on moon knight. Your opinion doesn't matter
