10 Creepiest Characters In The MCU

10. Khonshu

Moon Knight has quickly risen from a relatively unknown street-level hero in the comics to a worldwide topic of discussion thanks to the first season of the Disney Plus show. And, for at least the first few episodes, the show certainly tried to keep the horror-based origins of the character.

Perhaps the creepiest character from Moon Knight isn't Ethan Hawke's villainous portrayal as Arthur Harrow, but instead is Moon Knight's Moon-god, Khonshu.

With mummy wrappings for a body, and a trademark floating bird skull for a head, Khonshu is easily the creepiest god we've seen in the MCU. His appearance and actions make him even creepier than Hela, who wiped out all of Asgard in about an hour or so.

Khonshu is terrifying to see on screen, and his design is so creepy that it works even when he's standing in broad daylight. His initial appearances were pretty creepy for the audience and Steven Grant, who was very understandably terrified when he saw a giant bird skull monster chasing him across London.

While Khonshu'a later appearances in the Disney Plus show tended to lean more towards a generic MCU character, full of sass and childish temper tantrums, Khonsu definitely hits the scary and creepy factor.
