A man with five personas
coming together to protect the innocent
First there's Jake Lockley, the cab driver
down on the mean streets gathering information
Second there is Marc Spector, the mercenary
carved from stone to right all wrongs
Third there is Steven Grant, the billionaire
overlooking the city with pride
Forth there is Mr. Knight, well suited
comes to answer the most difficult questions
Fifth there is Moon Knight, the vigilante
brawling as the avatar of Khonshu
Five becomes one to what we collectively know
as the Moon Knight!

Superhero, Marc Spector, known as the Moon Knight,
Plays lead role in the Marvel Comics bright and tight;
Having, like Greek gods, gift of immortality,
Reveals his powers, with lightning vitality...!
Egos of Moon Knight, Steven Grant and Jake Lockley,
Lived and acted, sometimes godly, often oddly;
One handling the trauma tantrums, like a doctor,
Another assists him as though a concoctor...!
With weight-lifting-champion-like physical strength,
Moon Knight comes out glorious, going any length;
When, Khonshu, falcon god of vengeance, de-powers,
Like Samson after hair-shaven, Moon Knight cowers...!
