Let me tell you a thing about me. People who love me suffer and die. I never want to be loved. That's why I always win.

Synopsis for "Spectre"

In the alleyway from Moon Knight Vol 7 1, Officer Ryan Trent feels mocked and under appreciated by Detective Flint and Mr. Knight. Always having been told he's not ambitious enough, Ryan does some research into Moon Knight. He comes across a file about Black Spectre. Motivated by his hatred of Moon Knight, Ryan trains and builds darts. He looks up Marlene and Frenchie to question them, but neither of them has been in touch with Moon Knight recently. It seems he is working alone.

Ryan becomes inspired to replace Moon Knight as the city's hero by becoming a new, improved Black Spectre. He tells his plan to his wife who becomes annoyed, but since Moon Knight works alone, Ryan kills her. In the city, he manages to blow up Moon Knight's car but is attacked by Mr. Knight as he swoops down on Angel Wing. In the ensuing fight, Ryan's final bomb explodes and takes him down. Identifying himself as Black Spectre, Mr. Knight explains to Ryan that the difference between him and Black Spectre is that Black Spectre just wanted to be loved. Because everyone who loves Moon Knight dies, he never wants to be loved. With that, he walks away, leaving Ryan behind.
