MovieChat Forums > Moon Knight (2022) Discussion > So these powers
Moon Knight is basically Batman, so no superpowers here.
shareFrom what I remember of the comic books, he has superhuman abilities when he's in moonlight. Super strength, agility, endurance, durability, and such.
shareThose powers are exactly like Batman's.
shareLOL . .no. Not at all.
shareBatman does have super strength (not as super as Superman's but super than everyday Joe Schmoe and even thugs bigger than him,) agility, endurance, durability, and such.
shareActually ... NO.
All he has as super are his training (Moon Knight has zero) and his gadgets. There's NOTHING really super about him.
And without his gadgets he wouldn't be that "Super".
Batman was trained by the highly fictional Ras Al-Ghul, in a "super martial arts" that doesn't exist realistically.
shareStill NOT a superpower ;)
shareStill a superhero ;)
shareYup, just like Iron Man. Still no superpowers :D
shareRemove his suit and what is left of Iron Man?
shareSame with Batman. Remove his suit and all his gadgets and what is left of Batman?
An amazing athlete, true, but still no superpowers.
Unlike Iron Man, Batman's super martial arts won't come off with the costume.
shareIn theory Batman has no superpowers. In practice he would need superpowers to do what he does. This is a fundamental...
I was going to say, fundamental flaw of comics, but really it is bigger than that. The temptation for writers or story tellers to exaggerate the actions of Heroes, to impossible levels,
is..."NORMAL" in fiction. imo.
IF Marvel wants to make a batman copy, giving him some superhuman endurance would make a lot of sense.
Haha yes it is because it was a fictional academy so good that it could teach you super powers. That's something that could not exist in reality.
shareStill nope.

You obviously aren't understanding the point
shareI obviously do understand the point.
You obviously don't. Although he was trained in a fictional academy still he didn't get superpowers as in supernatural or superhuman. He is just a very well trained human.
Are you claiming that Bolt has superpowers? He is the fastest man alive, sure, but that doesn't mean that he has "superpowers".
Definition of superhuman:
The term superhuman refers to humans or human-like lifeforms with enhanced qualities and abilities that exceed those naturally found in humans. These qualities may be acquired through natural ability, self-actualization or technological aids

I also want to add that in Batman Begins the ninja's abilities at the League of Shadows academy were superhuman. I.e. Ra's appearing in and out of a crowd at will, Batman being able to pretty much instantaneously disguise himself as one of the ninjas. The tactics learned were more or less superhuman.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpower_(ability)
"Generally speaking, superheroes like Batman and Iron Man may be classified as superheroes even though they have no actual superhuman abilities beyond their exceptional talent and advanced technology."
"Although he was trained in a fictional academy still he didn't get superpowers as in supernatural or SUPERHUMAN" - Asom
Hahaha all good though. This argument is stupid
Well, yeah, it is, on your part. Everyone says he has no superpowers, every legit source. Only you continue to say so.
Guess what: if someone is better than you at some tasks it doesn't mean that he is a superhuman :P
You can argue that he is written unrealistic but then half of the action actors are unrealistic - are all those "superhumans"? Like John Wick or Rambo ... or even McClane
Again,
The term superhuman refers to humans or human-like lifeforms with enhanced qualities and abilities that exceed those naturally found in humans. These qualities may be acquired through natural ability, self-actualization or technological aids

Also,
Many acts performed by elite athletes are seen as superhuman. Elite athletes perform at a level that is perceived as unattainable by normal standards of performance. These are the result of a mixture of genetics, physical training, and mental conditioning

This article really takes the cake I think.

Speaking of super strength, it’s always been stated that Batman has no such power, the level of his strength frequently referred to as “peak human-level” rather than superhuman, but given the character’s history this simply can’t be true.
Take for instance the hundreds of incredible feats of strength performed throughout his career, which include leg-pressing a 2,500-pound train car, supporting a collapsing 1,000-pound ceiling, kicking a tree in half, flipping Solomon Grundy over his head with one hand, overpowering Killer Croc despite a serious shoulder injury, punching Bane through a steel door and karate-chopping an assault rifle to pieces.
As you already pointed out though you can find things contrary using similarly sourced links. Just open your eyes and don't take such a strong stance on shit that can be easily debated. These fucking comic book universes make up whatever dumb ass rules they want when it suits their needs.
It depends on the writer. Originally he had no powers, just a gifted athlete. Actually originally he was a villain, a mercenary hired to hunt down the Werewolf. Later he was retconned to a hero. It wasn't until the late nineties that he gained super strength in relation to the moon. I believe that was when Khonsu possessed his body. Also I think it was only really recently that they turned him into a split personality. Before that his identities were all intentional aliases created to serve specific purposes.
shareThe comics keep changing his abilities. But currently, nah. No superhuman powers.
shareWho knows? Who even knows what the powers are?
shareAs Adrian Monk would say There a blessing and a curse.
