• The Dark Doppelgangers Descend · 22 pages

  Moon Knight engages in the superhero free for all that occurs in Four Freedoms Plaza when Daredevil declares that Mr. Fantastic is a dupe and attacks him. After the dust settles (and a Gamma Bomb is diffused), MK and his fellow heroes who have stayed on earth are attacked by doppelgangers sent by the Magus. Moon Knight saves Franklin Richards from the evil version of himself but finds himself facing his own personal demon. The MK doppelganger begins absorbing Moon Knights from other dimensions and becomes the creature known as Moon Shade.

Publisher’s description

Moon Knight is in a meeting between the Avengers and the X-Men when the meeting turns sour, each side fighting the other. He is attacked by Psylocke who reveals a darkness within him. When the fight is over Thanos appears through a portal and a team of heroes follow them. Psylocke leaves Gambit with the job of telling Marc what she learned from his mind, but Marc walks away. Marc contacts his Shadow Council using one of Reed's computer terminals and upon leaving, faces his doppelgänger, Moon Shade, who is following Franklin's doppelgänger towards the real Franklin. They siphon some of Franklin's power away before Marc is able to stop them, but Moon Shade takes the device being used and puts it on himself, which gives him both Franklins powers and he is able to absorb Moon Knights from several dimensions, making him more powerful.
