WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Avengers #33 by Jason Aaron, Javier Garron, Jason Keith and VC's Cory Petit, available now.
In Avengers #33, Marc Spector, who operates as the hero Moon Knight, has declared war on Earth's Mightiest Heroes. With the biggest supermoon in a million years now upon the Marvel Universe, Moon Knight's god -- and the very source of his powers -- Khonshu, has returned. We don't yet know what the purpose of Moon Knight's mission is exactly but, we see him go toe-to-toe with some of the most powerful superheroes that call Earth home in this issue, as he steals a bit of their power to add to his own.
In the issue, Moon Knight defeats Iron Fist and Doctor Strange, steals Ghost Rider's car, and tries to get Black Panther to give up the very power held in his blood. And before the issue comes to a close, he also takes on Thor. And during this battle with Marvel's Asgardian God of Thunder, Moon Knight borrows a move that Thanos used in Avengers: Infinity War, and he actually improves upon it.
The battle between Thor and Moon Knight starts on Earth's Moon. The God of Thunder arrives to lend a helping hand after a call from Captain America, but he finds Spector waiting for him on the Moon. There, Moon Knight reveals that he has a surprising advantage against Thor: he's able to control Mjolnir, since the metal it's made of, Uru, is a material that constituted the very first moon in existence. And since the power of the moon is his to wield, Moon Knight exerts control over a hammer that only a select few are worthy of wielding.
Moon Knight turns Thor's weapon against him, using the hammer to beat the God of Thunder repeatedly, but he doesn't stop there. Next, he sends the King of Asgard flying into space. And there, Moon Knight summons moons from across the universe to smash right into Thor. Numerous moons arrive one after the other to crash into Thor, until finally three of them smash into one another with the God of Thunder right in the middle. The attack is completely devastating, and it's an impressive flex that shows just how powerful Moon Knight can really be.
And it's an even better move than the one the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Thanos used in Avengers: Infinity War.
In the film, the Mad Titan engaged in an epic battle with Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and the Guardians of the Galaxy on the planet Titan. With four Infinity Stones already in his grasp, Thanos was incredibly powerful, and he used their great abilities to literally use a neighboring moon to attack the superheroes. After breaking the moon apart, Thanos made all of the pieces rain down upon them, as giant chunks of rock fell on Titan, taking his enemies out of the battle.
In the film, it was an incredible display of power. But now Moon Knight has just improved upon this move. He didn't just use one moon to take out an Avenger; he used a dozen of them. What's even more impressive is that he didn't just call upon the nearest one, he used moons from all corners of the cosmos. While Thanos' moon attack was impressive, Moon Knight just reminded the Marvel Universe why he's the master of lunar combat.
