Marvel Studios has no shortage of superheroes in its arsenal, but its latest vigilante certainly stands out from the crowd with his dark origin and complex mental state.<\/p>\n

Mercenary Marc Spector (played by Oscar Isaac) is selected by the ancient Egyptian god Khonshu<\/a> to be his avatar on Earth, wreaking violent justice on evil-doers who cross his path.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s enough to throw anyone\u2019s life into utter chaos, but things are particularly complicated for Marc, who suffers from dissociative identity disorder and thus shares his body with several distinct personalities.<\/p>\n

Based on the first episode of Marvel\u2019s Moon Knight on Disney Plus<\/a>, this came as a surprise to even Khonshu himself, who expresses disdain every time Marc loses control of his body and bumbling Steven Grant takes over.<\/p>\n

Here you\u2019ll find a breakdown of Moon Knight<\/a>\u2018s five personalities from the comic books, some of which we\u2019ve seen while others are yet to emerge.<\/p>

In the comic books, Spector is a former soldier for the US military who gained extensive combat experience on the frontlines, but was ultimately discharged over concerns about his mental health.<\/p>\n
From then, he turned his attention to being a gun-for-hire, working as a mercenary for any client who had the means to pay him handsomely, which inevitably led to him falling in with some unsavoury characters.<\/p>\n
One client turned on Marc during a mission in Egypt, leaving him for dead in the scorching desert where he ultimately collapsed before a monument to the moon god Khonshu \u2013 who chose to resurrect him as his avatar.<\/p>\n
Steven Grant<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Steven Grant is the first of Marc\u2019s personalities that we meet in Marvel\u2019s Moon Knight, with the television show imagining him as a mild-mannered museum gift shop worker with a crippling sleep disorder.<\/p>\n
However, this is quite different to who Grant is in the comic books, where this identity is usually depicted as a wealthy Wall Street investor and occasional movie star.<\/p>\n
The considerable income from this identity goes a long way towards funding Moon Knight\u2019s war on crime, but presumably this MCU incarnation will find an alternative source \u2013 unless bumbling Steven unexpectedly hits it big before the finale.<\/p>\n
