Mr. Knight’s Retro Redesign Is Iconic
Time Period Accurate, Mr. Knight’s New Suit Drips with Swagger
From the dagger collar to the tailored fit, Mr. Knight’s new look is ladened with 1970s glam.Calling upon disco suits of the time, the all-white look is fitting to the time period it is emulating, as well as thecharacter of Mr. Knight. Moon Knight’s suave alter-ego is known for talking and not fighting. The idea of Mr. Knight sitting in a club facing down Khonshu while relaxing in a VIP booth is both iconic and realistic for Mr. Knight.
Not to be confused for one of Marc Spector’s alters, Mr. Knight is a crafted persona.
The costumes featured on the Dazzling Disco variant covers are unlikely to be featured in the comics they are representing. These fun explorations of characters and their aesthetics are here to market for Dazzler’s solo run and not representative of the comics themselves.However, Mr. Knight’s new look is so good that it could have a place in the comics as a unique artistic choice - if Mr. Knight returns as Marc Spector has. So far, Moon Knight has been seen, but nothing yet of his persona, Mr. Knight.
