Khonshu Seems Pretty Evil in 'Moon Knight' — Could He Be the Secret Villain?

Discover a complete overview about Khonshu Seems Pretty Evil in 'Moon Knight' — Could He Be the Secret Villain.

Khonshu is a nocturnal “God of the Moon,” also known as the “God of Vengeance.” He punishes evildoers, but is also directly tied to redemption and second chances. Because he lives in an extradimensional realm, in order to operate on the Earthly plane, he picks champions who operate as his “Moon Knights.” Over time, Khonshu has chosen pharaohs, pirates, vikings, and even a Patriot Moon Knight. Khonshu’s bidding is typically to protect travelers through space and time.

Throughout the comics, Khonshu has faced a time-traveling Kang the Conqueror multiple times, which could connect Moon Knight to Loki. As we know, Kang is one of the MCU’s biggest baddies of all, so Khonshu would therefore be one of the good guys if he’s stopping Kang in his tracks. Plus, Khonshu saves and protects Marc Spector numerous times, so we have to assume that Khonshu at least has good intentions.
