10 Things Every MCU Fan Needs To Know About Moon Knight
5. The Four Aspects Of Khonshu
Gods are not simple beings, ones as ancient as Khonshu even less so. But Khonshu is an interesting case in that, he specifically has four different aspects to his nature, all of which dictate Moon Knight's methods as Khonshu's disciple and follower.
The four aspects are as follows: Watcher, Pathfinder, Defender Of Nighttime Travelers, and Embracer. Though when times are particularly tough for our favorite unhinged moon champion, Khonshu will gladly pull out his secret fifth aspect: The One Who Lives On Hearts.
So what do these fancy titles mean? Simple, they literally dictate how Moon Knight is allowed to operate as a superhero as long as he's in Khonshu's thrall. These aspects have one basic trait in common: if someone isn't traveling at night, then Moon Knight leaves them to whatever fate befalls them. But if they're making a journey at night, then Moon Knight is tasked with watching over and protecting them to make sure they make the journey safely.
Other abilities, such as healing and increased physical prowess, also come from these aspects. But for the most part, these simply serve as dictation of how Moon Knight operates.
