Marc was a Marine and after that, he was a CIA operative and a prizefighter. This is where he met his lifelong friend Frenchie Duchamp.

They decided to become mergansers and after being betrayed by his companion Raul Bushman, Spector was left for dead in the Egyptian desert. He was carried to the idol of Khonshu, and the Egyptian deity offered Spector to revive him, so Spector could serve the Moon God.

After returning to the US, Marc Spector had started fighting crime and he became known as the Moon Knight.

Origin of Daredevil

The real name of Daredevil is Matthew Murdock. He was raised by a single father, who wanted young Matthew to become successful. Thus, his father forbade him to engage in any sports activity which made Murdock a target for other kids. To deal with this, Matthew started training at his father’s gym.

Matt had gotten his superpowers in a unique but altruistic way, as while he had saved a blind’s man life h got some radioactive material on his face. This made Murdock blind, but he got enhanced hearing, touch, smell, taste, all of these reached superhuman levels.

Matt had gotten ninja skills as he was taught by his sensei Stick. Murdock’s father was killed by a violent gang thus Matthew had decided to take revenge on the gang. These actions lost him the support of Stick though.

After graduating from Columbia University majoring in Law, Matthew Murdock had decided to use his superpowers for good, so he created his superhero character Daredevil. He based the name on the mocking nickname given to him when Matthew was a child.
