What are Moon Knight's superpowers?

As per Marvel Comics, Moon Knight is Marc Spector, a Marine and CIA operative, who garners superpowers after he was left in the desert to die. An Egyptian deity Khonshu saves his life and grants his superhero abilities to fight against evil. Due to his Marine and CIA background, Marc Spector possesses exceptional physical and combative skills as well as expertise in weapons.

After returning from Egypt with his newfound powers, Marc Spector develops new identities namely Steven Grant, a millionaire who funds his gadgets and costumes and Jake Lockley, a cab driver who gathers information about his targets.
