You need to listen to me, brother. I've been trying to tell you all night. My latest resurrection was... taxing. I did not come back as I should have, not wholly.

Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]
He fails the enormous Admirable Standard of Marvel Comics as everything he does is standard when compared to what other Heroes like Moon Knight have done with roughly the same power level.
He is an on and off villain who has done unkind or outright criminal deeds:
When Moon Knight stopped worshipping Khonshu after the Age of Khonshu event and establish his Midnight Mission, Badr moved into a nearby clinic, stalking and watching Moon Knight.
After Moon Knight took in people infected with vampirism, Badr terrorized nightwalkers to get to Moon Knight, who Badr defeated. Badr tried to kill the vampires in Moon Knight's Midnight Mission before Moon Knight arrived and beat up Badr, despite him having all the previous experiences of Khonshu's fists.
Marc as Mr. Knight, Reese and Soldier go into Chinatown, Marc initially told Hunter's Moon about his Dissociative Identity Disorder and offered Badr to join them in their venture to Chinatown but Badr refuses as vampires are monsters and enemies of Khonshu. Badr actually hits Moon Knight due to their different ideologies.
