Let's introduce you to Moon Knights rival

Like the other Marvel Disney+ series that have been released, I'm not sure if this series will follow the comics either. One thing we do know is who Moon Knight will be taking on in these six short episodes - Dr. Arthur Harrow, who will be played by Ethan Hawke. So who is Arthur Harrow? 

In short: Dr. Harrow is an evil doctor who experimented on human patients involving pain theory, secretly using data from Nazi experiments at Auschwitz. 

Dr. Arthur Harrow is a nasty doctor, but a genius when it comes to surgery and medicine. He was nominated for a Nobel Prize for his work on pain medicine, but after another doctor, Dr. Victoria Grail, realized he used research from experiments conducted on prisoners in Auschwitz-Birkenau, she started to work to bring him down. However, the documents tracing any evidence back to him were taken by a group called O.M.N.I.U.M. She reported this to the Nobel Prize committee and they asked her to interview Dr. Harrow and report back what she learned. 

So how does Moon Knight get involved? 

Khonshu (the moon god who gave Marc his powers) kept showing Marc visions of Dr. Harrow's patients, Dr. Grail, and O.M.N.I.U.M. These visions led to him rescuing Dr. Grail from the clutches of some terrorists who were sent to silence her. The two then realized they needed to team up to bring down Dr. Harrow. 

I don't want to go beyond that, just in case the series follows this storyline, but between Marc's Jewish heritage and Harrow's history, this will be a very satisfying defeat.
