Moon Knight Just Got the Armor the MCU Should Have Given Him
Marvel's Moon Knight miniseries was a major hit on Disney+, but the titular character was sorely lacking in the comics-accuracy department. Apart from some very noticeable character changes to all of Moon Knight's alternate personalities (Steven Grant, Marc Spector and even Jack Lockley in his brief appearance in a post-credits scene), the character lacked his comic book-accurate costume. Art for Moon Knight #4 finally gives Khonshu's avatar the protective armor he so desperately deserved in the MCU.
Moon Knight has always been a popular character, though never quite as successful as the likes of Captain America, Iron Man, or the other Silver Age heroes. Marc Spector, left for dead, was resurrected as a servant of Khonshu, the Egyptian God of the moon. Marc would create a set of identities to use in his crimefighting career, but his cover identities were eventually retconned into genuine alternate personalities, and the character would be one of Marvel's first superheroes with Dissociative Identity Disorder, or DID.

Parts of the suit have openings that reveal the (presumably) protective grey layer underneath. Moon Knight wields his trademark twin batons in the image as well, which have also seemingly been upgraded with advanced technology.
