Summary
When you imagineMoon Knight, there’s a very good chance you’ll think of that one comic panel of him complaining about Dracula. Alas, it is not real, but the meme has circulated so much that to many of us, Dracula is indeed a nerd who owes Moon Knight money.
Now, it actuallyiscanon, at least in one universe. In the newMarvel Rivalsmap, Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park, Moon Knight has a chance to say new voice lines, canonising his beef with Dracula. The line is changed slightly from the meme, so you won’t get to hear him drop an F-bomb, but it’s a great reference, nonetheless.
It’s Canon: Dracula Really Does Owe Moon Knight Money
The new Marvel Rivals map references the popular Moon Knight meme
Before a round begins, Moon Knight has a chance to say, “Dracula’s here? Good. That blood-sucking nerd owes me big”.
Oh, but the animosity doesn’t end there. As you can see in the clip, Moon Knight keeps bringing it up during the match, also saying, “I know you’re here, Dracula”. Then, when he’s with the payload, he exclaims, “Time for Dracula to pay up!”.
The new mapalso introduced Blade into Marvel Rivals, although he’s currently unplayable.
This is not the first time that Marvel Rivals has referenced this meme.As we covered back in December, a codex entry already had Moon Knight bring up the fact that Dracula is holding out on him. However, this is the first time we’re hearing him say it out loud, so this is now very much part of the lore.
