Moon Knight: the TV series EP #2: Crescent Arrival

In the next episode, Marc, Marlene, and Frenchie all go to New York to relocate and to start his superhero career. Marc also had the statue of Khonshu transported with them as a sort of source of physical inspiration. Marc uses his small fortune from his mercenary days to buy a mansion/rest house in Long Island, New York. from a real estate agent who was reluctant to sell one of the mansions owned by some rich guy named "Stark" (slight nod to Iron Man). he also used his fortune to build up a business firm named SpectorCorp (I don't think he will be competing with Stark Enterprises or Oscorp, I can assure you that) as a cover and to finance his "necessities" for crime fighting. He wanted to use a new identity so that no one would suspect a new businessman arriving in New York, so he created a new alias, Steven Grant. He was asked why didn't he use his name for his company, he replied that he named it after hisĀ  "adoptive" father, (he was not adopted, again, this is just a cover). And Marc also bought a cab and created another alter ego, Jake Lockley. He figured that small time crooks always planned their activities in the streets, which is also the best place to snoop around.

In the high-rise skyline in the middle of New York, the Maggia crime family is having a meeting where they are discussing the disturbances made by some superheroes on their business. One of them suggest that hiring more guns, but another complain that there just not enough men because they keep getting put into jail courtesy of the superheroes. Another suggests that they hire supervillains to be bodyguards to their criminal activities, but someone judge against because it might be too expensive. The last one suggest that they use their own merchandise to protect themselves from the "supers", but again it was countered that those merchandise are for profit, not self-gain. The family meeting was adjourned prematurely with no decisions made.

The other night, Marc is preparing and getting suit up to start his crusade. He asked Frenchie what he was working on the garage/warehouse at the back of the mansion, he only said that he will find out soon enough. In the wet, rainy city, a woman is being held-up by a thief in a dark corner of the street. She kept on crying for help but her cry was being smothered by the noise of the city. When the thief threatened to cut her tongue of for not shutting up, a crescent dart comes out of nowhere and hit the knife out of the thief's hand. When he look behind him to search for the one who hit him in the hand, he saw a very intimidating white cowl standing in the rooftop. He descended to where the thief is standing, eyes glowing blue (his night vision working), his fist all clenched up, ready for his first action. The thief picked up his knife and slashed the costumed hero, but it magically healed very quickly he shunned in the moonlight. The costumed hero warned the thief to not let him see again because if he does, he will return the wound that he gave to him back. The thief ran out scared, while the hero help the woman back to her feet. She says her thanks but ask who might he be, he replied "I am Moon Knight" and then he left. While Moon Knight is patrolling, he saw a drug shipment facilitated by the Maggia, he goes down there, kick all there asses and wraps them up for the police to take them on, with one escaping to let the criminal underworld know that even in the night, no one is safe when the Moon is shining to the wicked.

The escapee reported back to the Maggia of the new hero in New York. The patriarch decided to confront this new hero and giving him a welcoming gift in the form of his best hencemen taking in the merchandise. Word got out fast about the challenge of the Maggia to Moon Knight, which he accepts immediately. That night, Moon Knight confront the Maggia, where he wupped all the bodyguards present. Little did he knew that those were just jobbers to soften him up. Another wave of bodyguards show up, but this time these guys are taking the merchandise which happened to be MGH or the Mutant Growth Hormone, which is more salable to the people who want to have powers on their own. Moon Knight was in a predicament, he may have bitten a big piece of the Maggia that even he couldn't chew. Lucky for him, the moon is in its half quarter, where he single-handedly defeated all the MGH-powered Maggia bodyguards. While the patriarch escaped, Moon Knight knew that he couldn't chase it down. Suddenly, Frenchie arrived piloting a moon-shaped aircraft, the Mooncopter (the one Frenchie has been working on for sometime) where he lets down a rope ladder for Moon Knight and they chase down the patriarch's limousine. With accuracy, Frenchie shot the wheels of the limousine with the Mooncopter's mounted machine gun. After that, Moon Knight jumped out of the Mooncopter and landed in the limousine, effectively stopping the patriarch. Shortly after, the police arrive to see a tied up Maggia family members and Moon Knight leaving in the Mooncopter. It was a night of celebration as Moon Knight is now a legitimateĀ  hero, a nocturnal vanguard of justice. While the other heroes "save the day", Moon Knight pick out the scraps at night. He has little time to celebrate because an unknown man has been observing the fight that night and is reporting to a shadowed council. He gives word to his superiors that he is "perfect for the job" and his superiors gives him authority to invite to meet The Committee.
