Bio:
Spector was once a heavyweight boxing champion, then a Marine turned mercenary, who was working with a small team to protect a doctor in Egypt. After discovering a tomb full of riches, and used as a shrine to Khonshu (the moon god), one of the teammates turned and murdered the doctor before leaving Spector and the doctor’s daughter to freeze in the cold desert night.

Soon, a tribe found the duo, taking them to a place to recover. Spector had a vision of meeting the moon god, who declared him as his avatar on earth. Spector took a white cloak and left the resting spot to hunt down Bushman and the other traitors.

After completing his mission, Spector returned to America, and after some smart investments, gathered a small fortune. He uses this money in order to supply his crime fighting.

Spector created four identities to help with his crime fighting ways:
* Steven Grant- a millionaire who can be seen at parties, talking with the other “better” people to gather information on the government and other higher-ups.
* Jake Lockley- a poor taxi driver who talks with the normal citizens, and using their info to hunt down street level crimes.
* Mr. Knight- a man that wears a completely white tuxedo and mask, Mr. Knight acts as a detective, using the information he has gathered to help police, and find ways into crime scenes. Mr. Knight can also be seen taking care of small crimes, such as muggings and drug/weapon deals.
* Moon Knight- the loyal avatar of Khonshu and the hero that handles the large crimes, this is the identity that Spector takes the most, roaming the city in search of answers.

Because of the numbers of personalities that Spector has, he suffers from split personalities/multiple personalities disorders. He has had a nervous breakdown from it once, and is currently in therapy to help fix it. Or at least that’s what he tells his therapist. He is, in fact, trying to learn to control all of his personalities.

Name: Zheng Shang-Chi
Secret Identity: Shang-Chi
Age: 32

Abilities: Although possessing no superpowers, Shang-Chi has a lifetime of combat training behind him and is an expert in all known forms of terrestrial martial arts, enabling him to equal and best many superhumans. He is highly revered as the "Master of Kung-Fu.", arguably being one of, if not, the most adept Martial Artist on earth. Although he prefers to fight empty-handed, Shang-Chi can also formidably use any martial arts weapon and is skilled at improvising weapons out of ordinary objects in his environment.

Shang's mastery of chi allows him to disperse physical trauma across his entire body (as opposed to accumulating at any single point) and strike with enough force to break through reinforced steel. On many occasions, he has also demonstrated the ability to dodge and deflect bullets from automatic weapons after they've been fired.

Shang-Chi is a master of meditation and relaxation techniques as well, allowing him to receive psychic premonitions, limit the spread of toxins in his blood stream, and render his pain receptors insensitive. While possessing no superhuman senses, Shang-Chi is highly attuned to his surroundings thanks to his training and having spent most of his life thwarting his father's assassins. He is able to pinpoint the breath sounds and heart beats of silent aggressors, as well as the distant loading of firearms by gunmen.

Due to his training, Shang-Chi is also less susceptible to mental attacks than most humans.

Biography: Shang-Chi, who's name can be interpreted as "Rising of the Spirit" was born in Honan province in China, son to a wealthy international crime lord named Fu Manchu and an unknown American woman genetically selected by his father. Trained privately by the greatest masters of various disciplines, Chinese and otherwise, Shang had limited contact with his parents.

When he did see his father, his father told him that all of his training was being directed toward some sort of great humanitarian goal, as his father manipulated Shang into thinking that he was a philanthropist. When the time finally came for Shang to face the outside world and carry out this mission, he was transported to England, where his mission was assassination. He knew nothing other than to honor his father with complete loyalty, so after stealthily sneaking into his target's home, he killed who he thought was an evil man in one swift strike.

British secret agent Sir Dennis Nayland-Smith arrived on the scene in time to catch Shang, but of course couldn't keep him there. Shang later sought out his mother, now living in London, who then told him the truth about her former husbands life of crime and evil. At that time, Shang swore to become his father's enemy, and do whatever it would take to topple his evil empire.

Shang-Chi became a regular ally of Sir Denis Nayland Smith and worked with him on missions for MI-6, British intelligence, and later for Freelance Restorations, Smith's own independent agency.

Shang-Chi ultimately contributed to his father's apparent death in a confrontation at the Honan retreat. His "Elixir Vitae," which had allowed him to live and remain in his physical prime for many decades, was no longer sufficient to maintain his youth. Rapidly aging, his father needed his son's blood to restore his physical vitality. Yet, Shang-Chi wrested away the blood-filled test tube and spilled it on the ground.

His father seemed to spend his last minutes of life frantically licking it up when the retreat was demolished by an explosion set off by other aides of Smith. Shang-Chi escaped, but his father was assumed to have been killed. Due to the guilt of this loss, he withdrew from the life that he formerly knew and traveled the world to find his own path.
