The first half of the Moon Knight television series is already in the books now that Marvel Studios has released the third installment. Marc Spector’s adventures moved to Egypt, where he is competing with Arthur Harrow to find Ammit’s tomb. The titular hero had to put his best skills to work to save his and his wife Layla’s life from some cruel gangsters. The episode introduced new compelling characters like Anton Mogart into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, besides offering a closer look at the superpowers of Khonshu’s avatar.
Let’s now tackle some pending questions left by the episode and give some additional information to Mogart. 
Who Is Anton Mogart?
Episode 3 featured the live-action debut of the villainous Mogart, portrayed by the late Gaspard Ulliel. Mogart is an old acquiescence of Layla, with whom he shared some time in Madripoor (a reference to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier series). In comics, Mogart is a master thief who targets high-value works of art and strikes only at midnight, earning quite a reputation for himself as the Midnight Man. His skills include a solid martial arts background, leading to colliding with Moon Knight on different occasions.
The first live-action encounter between Spector and Mogart ended after the titular character chased the villain away into smoke. The pair has some unfinished business that they might want to solve sooner or later. However, Mogart’s future in the MCU is uncertain since French actor Ulliel died last year due to a skiing accident. Perhaps, Marvel Studios might opt to recast the character, but there is no official news yet.
What Are Moon Knight’s Powers?
After the talks between Spector and Mogart turned bad, Khonshu suggested to Spector to summon the suit. In the subsequent clash, Moon Knight proved once more that he could stand his ground when it comes to fist-fighting. Wrapped in his crescent moon-shaped cape, Spector escaped the gunfire by Mogart’s henchmen and retaliated with some crescent darts. Luckily for the bad guys, Mr. Knight took control of Spector’s body and mind shortly afterward.
As seen in the latest episodes, the second persona of Spector prefers using words to calm the situation down. When diplomacy didn’t solve the quarrel and the bad guys almost impaled him, Mr. Knight was forced to give control back to Moon Knight. Spector heals from any external wounds he receives, but his healing factor is way quicker after he dons the suit. In comics, Spector is at his mightiest during nights with full moons, which boast his strength. He also has dreams about what will happen and absorbs another person’s life energies with a simple touch.
Moon Knight’s Third Personality
The episode implied that there might be another personality besides Spector and Steven Grant. As seen in the previous installments, the titular hero blacks out when one of his personalities takes over without the agreement of the other one. During his journey in Egypt, Spector lost control over his mind and body for a few moments while dealing with some criminals in Cairo. Initially, Spector thought it was Grant’s fault, but the British persona denied any involvement. The clues hint that Jake Lockley might be debuting soon. Fans saw that Spector has a particular thirst for blood and does not back down if it comes to killing someone. Apparently, Lockley is even more violent than Spector. In the comic book realm, the Lockey personality works as a cab driver and can quickly gather street-level information.
