#I MEAN THERES A REASON WHY MR KNIGHT WAS REPLACED BY JAKE IN THE

[spector]

what's the difference between moon knight and mr knight :0 i could have asked this on discord but i want the masses to benefit from my bimbo brain

ur bimbo brain is valid BECAUSE to be quite honest, the difference is never explained in comics and its super vague. mr knight emerges as a new personality in the 2014 mk run, 2016 mk run just sort of further establishes him within the canon. but when u take a look at the entriety of mk history, mr knight is a very new development and to be honest, its HIGHLY POSSIBLE that this identity was created only to give a reason why marc wears the now iconic white suit. i really think its just that. nothing more than a comicsTM gimmick at first which later evolved into something more substantial but never defined (because of its gimmicky beginings)

tho they do explain within canon why marc is running around as a completely new person as opposed to old school moon knight stuff... cuz the police ABSOLUTELY wants moon knight off the streets cuz idk if yall know but he litcherally kills people... 

BUT YAH coming back to my main point i would say that mr knight was created to refresh mk’s brand after some creative stagnation, give a reason for a brand new look that fit the new era of edgy but realistic netflix-esque street level superheroes. and it worked !!!!! mr knight is a realistic detective who wears a simple white suit and a mask, he very well could exist in real life, he almost begs to be plucked out of a comic and injected into a daredevil season. mr knight was created to spice up the mk brand (IN MY OPINION) which in a way makes him a writing device

but since this is mostly a writing device its hard to define who mr knight is!!!! and its even harder to differentiate him from the moon knight identity!!!!!  like i dont think any writer actually does, i think they just keep writing it bc mr knight is cool and so is moon knight and to them they are interchangeable. its possible that mr knight was created out of marcs need to be like moon knight without actually being moon knight. WHICH IS ... A VERY CONFUSING CONCEPT and i swear to god i fully believe no comic writer has ever like actually sat down and thought this thru. its highly possible that to them u can just put an equation sign between mr knight and moon knight. or that mr knight is just moon knight but in a white suit as opposed to cape+hood suit. or maybe mr knight is marcs way of distancing himself from certain events. its confusing !!! im a moon knight scholar and i CANT give u an answer bc every writer has a different take and MOST of these takes clash w/ one another

personally i do view them as different identities, mr knight is more focused on detective work and seems more grounded, moon knight is a bit more esoteric. moon knight also functions as a... collective identity, marc+jake+steve+mr knight (?) = moon knight AND LIKE I RLY COULD GO ON but this is just my general feel and wishful thinking honestly

in reality i think the situation is just. vague bc mr knight was born out of a new way to write a moon knight story, not an actual in-canon reason. its weird and confusing and there are no straight answers, which is what mk brand is made out of. so i dont mind the vagueness and i understand why theres such huge overlap between mk and mr knight identities, especially when u consider them within the context of writing the moon knight title 

tl;dr -- mr knight exists only because they wanted to put moon knight in a cool suit and ther had to be a reason for that suit. later writers fleshed him out a little bit more but since his foundation is very vague and undefined in-canon, there is no clear characterization of mr knight yet
