Moon Knight: Who Is Duchamp?

gamerant.com:

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Moon Knight Episode 1.With the premiere of Moon Knight on Disney Plus, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting a whole lot more players in its stories. The other Disney Plus series released so far have done a great job at expanding the world of the MCU beyond just the Avengers in their big battles. While Steven Grant (or Marc Spector) is the titular character, there are lot of people connected to him in the comics that have yet to make their appearance as the first episode focused largely on his own confusion at losing time — even whole days — as he became caught in the middle of a fight he didn’t understand.

Some of those connections are hinted at thanks to the phone Steven finds in his flat. In the call log are several missed calls from someone named Layla, the same person that Steven speaks with who tells him that she’s been trying to get ahold of him for months. In the middle of those dozens of calls, however, there is another name in the log, Duchamp.

Jean-Paul Duchamp actually meets Marc Spector (who later becomes Moon Knight) while both were working in North Africa. A former member of the French Foreign Legion, Duchamp was working as a mercenary while Spector was participating in fights for money. When the two met up, they became fast friends and Spector dubbed the mercenary “Frenchie.” The two teamed up for several jobs before Spector was killed in Egypt.

The job that saw Spector killed saw the duo working for a man named Raul Bushman. Bushman, however, was too violent, even for the mercenaries. Bushman killed an archeologist that was leading the group to a tomb to be robbed, and Spector turned against their employer.
