Marlene Alraune

Marlene Alraune is a fictional human character in the Marvel Universe.

Fictional character biography
Marlene is in the Sudan with her father, archaeologist Dr. Peter Alraune Sr., when he is killed by mercenary Raoul Bushman. Another mercenary, Marc Spector, saves Marlene's life, but Bushman ends up leaving him to die in the desert. Dr. Alraune's workers bring Spector's inert body to the tomb of Pharaoh Seti III. Spector miraculously revives, and he and Marlene return to the U.S., where he became the crimefighter Moon Knight. Marlene is his confidante, girlfriend, and ally.

Marlene's brother, Dr. Peter Alraune Jr., dies in a confrontation with Morpheus, sacrificing himself to neutralize the villain's powers.

Powers and abilities
Marlene has the strength and agility of a normal woman: she is a skilled markswoman, gymnast, and hand-to-hand combatant and a resourceful crimefighter.
