Mark Spector, on an almost cosmic level, is known as one of the most spiritual beings on earth, due entirely to his constant tearing between life and death and his sincere devotion to Khonshu. The Cosmic Power, much like any other energy in the Marvel Universe, can be treated as both scientific and magical in nature. One source of cosmic power specifically, the Phoenix Force, is A living embodiment of cosmic power, older than Galactus himself, and once chose Mark Spector as his avatar.

Over the Age of Honshu Mark is able to wield a spirit of vengeance and hold Thor’s hammer, but his greatest achievement was when he was chosen to become the next Phoenix. Khonshu became uncontrollable and paranoid, so, while locked in battle with the Black Panther, Moon Knight prayed to the Phoenix Force, offering his pain as tribute. Like Galactus’ call, the Phoenix Force breeds temptation to become something worse, but even in the face of almost infinite cosmic power, Marc Spector chooses to let it go. Mark knows better than most how far unchecked gods can fall.

The Phoenix Force would not be the last cosmic-level power Moon Knight was made to wield. In Agatha Harkness’s attempt to recreate a Darkhold, she pitted Moon Knight and Taeguggi against each other in an arena that transformed them into godlike variants of themselves. Mark was transformed into a divine version of himself, who usurped Honshu and took his place as the “Patriicidal God of the Moon.” in this form, Moon Knight became a literal god in his own rightA cosmic being powerful enough to kill and assume the mantle of an Elder God.

As before, Mark willingly gave up his powers. Mark Spector has wielded the power of gods and cosmic entities many times and has done so with a level of grace and humility that cannot be expected from the same Man who claims to wear white So that his enemies may see their blood on him. It is Galactus who truly holds cosmic power, but it is his heralds who choose restraint and mercy on his behalf. While a seemingly unlikely choice, moon night Proves a worthy successor to the Silver Surfer’s title of Herald of Galactus.
