i miss on old animal-centric mmorpgs/chat sites instead of reading someone’s about or pinned or whatever you could ‘sniff’ them. like, most of the time there was an option to sniff someone, and it would bring up a pop-up window with a bunch of information they could put using standard html. and there were always tons of cheesy lyrics, embedded music players, animal gifs. it was very good. i still catch myself going ‘let me sniff em real quick’ while screening a new follower.. bring back sniffing people

So I brought this up in the Moon Knight Discord, but I figured other MK fans might be interested!

In the Lemire run, Space Commander Marc is fighting against Lupinar, leader of the werewolf armies.

And back when we were reading this in 2018, I figured this was a new character who was cool reference to Werewolf by Night!

However, this turns out not to be the case! It turns out that Lupinar has actually appeared before!

Before the Moon Knight system got their own series, they appeared in a series of bonus stories that took part of the 1978 Hulk magazines. One of the villains that Marc faces as Moon Knight (in Hulk #13-14) is none other than Lupinar!

Lupinar has hypertrichosis (sometimes called “werewolf syndrome”), which causes him to grow massive amounts of body hair. His condition made him feel like an outcast, so he’s using his villainy to take it out on everyone else--particularly through funding the terrorist organization Marc is trying to dismantle.

(The super obvious codpiece is a necessary part of this somehow.)

Once Moon Knight starts interfering with his terrorist cell, he becomes obsessed with fighting the superhero, since he’s heard that Moon Knight has fought an actual-factual werewolf (aka Jack Russel the Werewolf by Night). They had a swordfight, and Lupinar commits suicide to avoid getting captured.

As far as we know, Lupinar doesn’t appear again until the Lemire run, but then again we haven’t read everything yet.

Just a cool little Moon Knight lore tidbit!
