Moon Knight Physique Ranking
In Real Superhero Training, we came up with a system for physique analysis. We call it the attainability scale.
This system helps us discover the realistic aspects when it comes to a character's physique, and if it is truly realistic/attainable. It’s pretty straightforward, goes a little something like this:
Tier 1: Realistically achievable (Natty)
Tier 2: Giga Genetics (Natty, but maybe not as easily attainable)
Tier 3: Not natty (requires PED’s for maintenance)
Moonknight’s Physique is placed in the Tier 2 Category.
Certain areas of Moon Knights physique are in fact achievable - such as lean muscle mass and overall conditioning, but throughout the comic book series, he is shown to have slightly over-emphasized proportions that require more genetic potential to pull off.
While it is still possible to achieve a Moon Knight inspired physique with average genetics, a ‘Tier 2 Physique’ just means that you have to work a bit harder and dial in more with your nutrition.
But that’s no issue because we are all literally Superheroes.
Moon Knight’s Physical Abilities:
Here is what we know according to the Moon Knight Wiki:
Powers & Abilities
Superhuman Strength: As Moon Knight, Spector was able to quickly and utterly overpower the jackal creature. Which moments earlier had knocked down a metal museum bathroom door to attack him. While fighting another jackal, he dented a car bumper when he squeezed it tight.
Superhuman Durability: Moon Knight can withstand a great deal of damage. He was able to take bullets with no issues and was shown to be fine after being thrown around by a jackal.
Superhuman Speed: Moon Knight outran the jackal that was chasing him, running extremely fast across rooftops in order to best the fast creature. He quickly did parkour between the buildings to outmaneuver the creature.
Superhuman Agility: Moon Knight was able to run across roof tops while performing acrobatic moves and jumping from one building to another.
Superhuman Stamina: Moon Knight was able to scale buildings and jump across rooftops while chasing the jackal, without being worn out or tired. He performed many acrobatic movies while jumping from building to building, also without showing any sign of needing to stop.
In a Gymbro’s Perspective, here is what we need to create a workout routine Inspired by Moon Knight!
Strength Training: to replicate his super strength
Superhuman Stamina: Which will actually fall in line with Agility, Speed, and Durability since it is all pretty much relative to aerobic capacity.
Martial Arts: For those badass fighting skills we see in the comics and television.
