Moon Knight Secretly Revealed That Marc & Steven Are Still Khonshu's Avatar
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Moon Knight season 1.
Marvel's Moon Knight introduced powerful new figures for the MCU, including the Egyptian pantheon of gods. The series follows mercenary Marc Spector and his alter identity Steven Grant as they serve Khonshu, the ancient Egyptian god of the Moon as the god's fist of vengeance, Moon Knight. While Marc and Steven seem to part ways with Khonshu in the season 1 finale, Moon Knight's post-credits scene may prove otherwise.
