Moon Knight's Alters Are Unleashed in the Battle for His Mind
Beginning this August, a new arc in Moon Knight will pit the Fist of Khonshu's alters against each other, causing a fight not only on the street but within his own mind. The tease for the new arc mentions all five key players: Moon Knight, Mr. Knight, Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley.

Recently starring in his own Disney+ show, Moon Knight is a unique character in that he has dissociative identity disorder (DID). His mental health representation is explored both in the comic and within the show, an important step forward in destigmatizing people with disorders such as DID, but not without its missteps in how the disorder has been portrayed over the years.
