All Of Moon Knight's Weapons Explained

Over the years, Moon Knight has used a variety of weapons in the shape of ankhs, the Egyptian hieroglyph. They have come in different materials and sizes, and they have served several functions, but all share the same distinct shape. For the Moon Knight, aka the Fist of Khonshu, Egyptian symbols are a source of power and a symbol of his dedication to his patron deity. Most recently, Khonshu gifted his earthly avatar with a series of magic ankhs, vessels that enabled Spector to leech powers from the Avengers. Using the ankhs (and with an assist from some seriously-upgraded lunar powers), Spector swiftly defeated Iron Fist, Doctor Strange, and even Thor.

In the past, Moon Knight has used other ankhs with assorted magical powers, like the golden ankh featured in his first series, which glowed to warn him when danger approached. Since then, the ankhs have appeared time and again throughout the various Moon Knight series as combination totems and weapons, much like his crescents or scarabs. Whether used as blunt clubs, thrown objects, or woven into his deepest origins, the ankh motif has accompanied Spector for decades.
