Moon Knight is another of Marvels dark vigilante very similiar to Batman. Both are normal humans posing as rich *******s and using high tech gadgetry in fighting crime.Both are schizophrenic. However Batman has a code against killing and Moon Knight as an ex-mercenary has no such issues. Moon Knight also gains superhuman strength as per the ascent and descent of moon. Moon Knight is an avatar of Egyptian god of moon and also has multiple personalities. His comics have a rather distinctive dark tone. Moon Knight is a character who has stood the test of time and is still here after three decades.
