Fictional character biography

Moon Knight volume #4 initially treats Khonshu in a rather different way, portraying him as a harsh and unforgiving god of vengeance who is strengthened by the fear that his avatar inspires. Accordingly, he is quite prepared to manipulate Marc Spector's allies and enemies in order to revive Moon Knight's career, and is highly critical of Spector. As with many Moon Knight stories, the line between reality and hallucination is sometimes intentionally blurred, but aspects of the art and story do strongly suggest that Khonshu's actions are entirely real.

In other media

Khonshu does not appear as an alternate costume for Moon Knight in the video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, it is however the version of Moon Knight at the time Marc Spector's body was inhabited by Khonshu.
