How Do Moon Knight & Mr. Knight's Costumes Work (Where They Come From)?
Warning: Contains spoilers for Moon Knight episode 2.
How, exactly, do the costumes of Moon Knight and Mr. Knight work in Moon Knight? Episode 2 is the first time the show is showing off the costumes, so the ins and outs of them still aren’t fully known. That being said, there’s enough information from both the show and the comics to come to a reasonable conclusion about it.

When Steven does it, he dons a formfitting mask and a white suit, an appearance that, in the comics, is commonly referred to as Mr. Knight. When Marc is in control, however, he dons the classic cape and cowl that Moon Knight is typically depicted with in the comics and other media, albeit with the appearance of being made from bandages to emphasize the connection to Egypt.
