Least dramatic debut, ever

Sure, he's a big player in the Marvel Universe now, but Moon Knight's debut is anything but iconic and senses-shattering. In fact, in his very first panel appearance, he seems kinda embarrassed about the whole thing:

Werewolf by Night #32
Panel from Werewolf by Night #32 (August 1975), script by Doug Moench, pencils by Don Perlin, inks by Howie Perlin, colors by Phil Rachelson, letters by Ray Holloway


So, we know this about Moon Knight: he's an avenger that roams the darkness, fighting crime with his wits and his fists. And apparently, if he had his druthers, he'd be known as Captain Crescent-Roll.

    You know what? Moon Knight is a pretty stupid name. Plus, it has that annoying first-word-ends-with-the-same-sound-that-the-second-word-begins-with problem, so you have to make sure you pronounce it extra carefully when you actually say it out loud, so it doesn't sound like the guy is called 'Moo Knight' or 'Moon Ight'.

    I have a similar problem with my own name. Hence it's a pet peeve of mine.
