Some recently unearthed concept art from 2008'due south Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows  game shows what Moon Knight would look like under the influence of a Symbiote. Mainstream audiences are getting their commencement exposure to Marc Spector and his many alternate personalities thanks to Oscar Issac'south performance in the new Disney+ series Moon Knight, but the mystically-empowered agent of Khonshu has been featured in several Marvel-based video games over the years. He has made minor appearances in ensemble titles like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel: Contest Of Champions -and recent rumors have suggested that Moon Knight could be the latest in a line of superheroes dropping into Fortnite as a invitee playable peel.

One of the nigh noteworthy games to feature Moon Knight was 2008's Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows, which saw Marc Spector squad upwardly with other heroes like Luke Muzzle, Wolverine, and Spidey to protect New York Metropolis from the threat of a mass Symbiote outbreak. Moon Knight is beginning brought into Web Of Shadows' story subsequently an attempted robbery at Spector Tower, and he serves every bit a quest giver throughout the afterwards portions of the Spider-Man game - though Spidey can lose his trust given Web Of Shadows' branching morality arrangement that sees the hero torn between embracing his dark side and staying truthful to the path of righteousness. Throughout the game'due south story, manySpider-Man characters are infected by Symbiotes themselves, with Wolverine, Vulture, and Blackness Cat gaining new, Venom-similar forms during boss battles. However, Moon Knight himself remains uninfected - leaving many to wonder what he would look similar as a Symbiote-controlled monster.

As it turns out, the developers backside Spider-Human being: Spider web Of Shadows originally planned for Moon Knight to gain his own Symbiote form, but it was ultimately cutting for fourth dimension. Venom-axial Twitter account TheVenomSite recently posted some Moon Knight concept art from the game, featuring Moon Knight's default state and what he would expect like under the control of a Symbiote. This alternating form is as unsettling as 1 would look, with a gaping maw of Venom'due south signature razor-precipitous teeth covering Moon Knight's entire face up and inky black tendrils replacing the hero'due south cloak. This concept fine art tin can exist seen in Web Of Shadow's end credits.

This unused Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows concept art is resurfacing at an interesting time for both Moon Knight and the Symbiotes, as Venom is set up to take a prominent role in the upcoming Marvel'due south Spider-Human being 2 after beingness ominously teased in both of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man games. Rumors hint that Curiosity'south Spider-Man ii could feature Symbiote-themed variants of every bachelor alternate costume - not unlike the Symbiote forms shown in Spider-Human being: Web Of Shadows. Some fans have suggested that Marvel's Spider-Man two should borrow a few other elements from Spider web Of Shadows, like the older game's wall-mounted combat system that allowed Spidey to pull off combos from the sides of buildings.

As for Moon Knight, the idea of the already troubled hero beingness possessed past a sinister alien parasite would be unsettling for both the larger Marvel Universe and Marc Spector himself, given that he already has several different personas struggling for command inside himself due to his dissociative identity disorder and a wide range of mystical powers and combat skills that a Symbiote could utilize to crusade trouble for Spider-Human and other heroes. Thankfully for them, this Symbiote-infected Moon Knight remained on the cutting room floor in Spider-Homo: Web Of Shadows , though fans were likely disappointed that they missed out on an interesting concept.
