Moon Knight Instantly Destroys Kate Bishop's Hawkeye Record
Warning: Contains spoilers for Moon Knight episode 1.
In Hawkeye, Kate Bishop claimed a record previously held by Iron Man, but Mook Knight has already broken Kate’s record. Hawkeye and Moon Knight are both Disney+ TV series that serve to introduce new major heroes who will appear in upcoming projects.

In Moon Knight episode 1, “The Goldfish Problem,” Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) goes to sleep in his bed in London and then suddenly finds himself in a village in the Alps and being chased by men with guns. When Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) asks him for the scarab, Khonshu refuses to let him give it up, and Marc Spector takes over. When Steven regains control he has clearly killed several people and is covered in blood. As the scene continues the conflict gets more bloody as Marc Spector shoots several people and forces cars off the road and down a mountain.

It is perhaps unsurprising that Moon Knight was so quick to claim this
