Randall Spector mysteriously hark back as the evil Shadow Knight , a fellow member of the Cult of Khonshu who conceive himself to be the next embodiment to the nominal Egyptian divinity . Randall had become empowered by the Egyptian Princess Nepthys , gifting him dense cutis and superhuman strength , and provide him to burn down radioactive blasts from his eyes . This made him a more important scourge toMarc Spector ’s Moon Knight , though the powerful Sapphire Crescent helped Marc overcome his brother . Shadow Knight would make a fantastical villain forMoon Knightseason 2 , peculiarly since his rootage story may have already been set up.

Why Is Randall Spector A Great Villain For Moon Knight Season 2?
Many of the baddie featured in previous Marvel Studios projects have been drab opposite word of the MCU ’s superheroes . This includes the Abomination , the Red Skull , Kaecilius and Killmonger , and Shadow Knight fits this brief perfectly for Moon Knight . Forging the long - thought - dead Randall Spector into a supervillain would also land a more personal , ground story to Marc Spector ’s MCU fib , similarly to Thor ’s long - escape feud with Loki , which would not only help to better explainKhonshu and the Egyptian Pantheon , but also dig deeply into Marc ’s own psyche , and makeMoon Knightseason 2 even more powerful than the original season .
