Khonshu
for Khonshu in Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu
Suggested by bighero616
Marc Spector was just a mercenary working for Raoul Bushman until a mission in Egypt changed everything. Betrayed by his own partner, Marc is shot and left for dead in the desert. In his final moments, he crawls to an ancient temple and, even without believing in gods, begs for mercy and a second chance. The temple belonged to Khonshu, the ancient Egyptian god of the moon. On the verge of death, Marc receives a vision of the entity, who offers him a new life in exchange for becoming his avatar on Earth, his fist against those who spread violence and injustice. With no alternatives, Marc accepts. Two years have passed since then, and his life has never been the same. His dissociative identity disorder, previously relatively controlled, has intensified. Now he shares his mind and body with two other personalities: Steven Grant, an intelligent and strategic businessman, and Jake Lockley, a taxi driver accustomed to the most dangerous corners of the city and an expert at gathering information. Becoming Moon Knight, Marc acts as a brutal and unpredictable vigilante, spreading fear in the name of Khonshu, a god as cruel as he is violent. Despite the chaos and pain, something still keeps him human: Marlene, the woman Marc, Steven, and Jake fell in love with, who keeps him sane and human. But everything changes when Bushman returns. After having his business destroyed by the masked vigilante, he discovers that Marc Spector is still alive. Unable to defeat him in direct combat, Bushman begins to act in the shadows, using manipulation, traps, and even Marlene to achieve his only goal: to take Marc Spector's head, no matter which personality is in control. But Bushman will learn the hard way that Moon Knight is much harder to kill and infinitely more vengeful.
