Fictional character biography
Zach Moonhunter once worked as a werewolf wrangler under the Druid's mental control. He first encountered Captain America outside Starkesboro, Massachusetts.[1] He fought Captain America,[2] and captured him.[3] However, he was overpowered by Captain America and other werewolves.[4] Moonhunter's free will was then restored by Doctor Druid.[5] He saved John Jameson from being killed by the Captain America doppelganger's shield during the events of the Infinity War. Moonhunter then applied for the job of Captain America's pilot.[6] As a job tryout, he flew Captain America and the Falcon to the Rocky Mountains to search for the captured Diamondback.[7] While there, Moonhunter defeated the Sleeper IV through an aerial maneuver.[8] He then flew Captain America, Falcon, and Diamondback to Wakanda.[9] He flew the injured Diamondback with Captain America and the Falcon to Wakanda, and then flew the latter two back to New York City.[10]
Powers and abilities
Zach Moonhunter is an athletic man with no superhuman powers, though he is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant and a highly accomplished pilot.
As a werewolf hunter, Moonhunter wore a mask and body armor that were both silver-plated for protection against werewolves. The mask was surmounted by a "wig" composed of sharp, jagged strands of silver. He carried guns that fired silver bullets, which can kill werewolves. He wore gauntlets that fired silver darts which could harm werewolves or drug-tipped darts that could induce unconsciousness in human beings. He used a whip with a silver tip that could case werewolves pain. He used a rope coated with silver as a lasso for capturing werewolves. His body armor was equipped with artificial claws he could use for help in scaling walls. As the Druid's operative, he piloted a two-man jet-powered sky-cycle.
