Iron Fist Just Got Destroyed By [SPOILER]'s Punch | Screen Rant

The Iron Fist is used to doling out punishment via enchanted punches, but Danny Rand crumbles when he is put on the receiving end of Moon Knight’s “Fist of Khonshu.” That unexpected assault from the perplexing Moon vigilante was just the beginning of the champion of Kun-Lun’s problems.

The recent Avengers adventures have seen the latest iteration of the team racking up enemies of immense cosmic and mystical origins. Finding themselves in conflict with Namor, a former host of the Phoenix, fighting Malekith in the War of the Realms, trying to quell a vampire civil war, going head to head with the current King of Hell, Johnny Blaze and opposing multiple former heralds of Galactus at once. The Avengers have amassed colossal amounts of power to deal with these threats as they arose, and even in the hands of the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes that kind of power can be worrying. In Avengers #33, the mysterious Moon Knight appears to do something about it.

The Immortal Iron Fist’s bout with Moon Knight beginswith the latter waiting outside the gates of Kun-Lun, praying to the moon and dressed like Moon Knight in Iron Fist cosplay. Danny introduces himself to the fellow costumed crusaderand is met with an all-out attack. Channeling power from the largest super moon in years, the man imbued with the spirit of an Egyptian Moon god quickly overwhelms Iron Fist, and takes the fire of the immortal dragon from Rand. Defeating and robbing the Iron Fist of his power would be enough for most, but Moon Knight is on a mission to collect the greatest powers he can. In the same evening he gains mystical forces, first from Dr. Strange, then by stealing the Hell-Charger from Ghost Rider and Mjolnir from Thor.

Moon Knight is often a confounding hero for the characters of Marvel to contend with. His entanglement with the Egyptian deity, Khonshu, has left Marc Spector to grapple with multiple personalities and identities. Many write him off as a mentally ill lunatic, but during his attack, Moon Knight makes it clear he is of sound mind and acting without delusion or external control. Despite not also being able to acquire power from Black Panther, the Phoenix force or the Starbrand, Moon Knight stands beside Khonshu declares himself Earth’s Mightiest Hero and last hope against the Devil. Those could sound like the ravings of a madman were he not wielding several of Marvel’s most impressive forces, including the Iron Fist.

The current run of Avengers has been no stranger to displaying heroes embodying power sets and identities beyond the typical norm. During the War of the Realms, Daredevil filled in for Asgard’s Heimdall and was granted cosmic vision. While on a mission in space, Thor was infected by the Brood, Ghost Rider commandeered the Silver Surfer’s board by force and Blade wore a younger version of Man-Thing as organic armor. The Avengers have taken on any form or acquired any power they’ve needed to protect Earth, but how they will respond when Moon Knight is doing the same, at their expense, remains to be seen.
