Who is Marvel's Khonshu? Powerful Moon god of Vengeance

This video explores the abilities, powers, and origin of the Marvel Comics character "Khonshu." From the ancient Egyptian god Chons being the powerful moon god of vengeance as well as time travelers and night travelers, establishing himself as more powerful and intelligent than many of his fellow Ennead / Heliopolitan gods, exhibiting the rare ability to control lunar material such as Uru metal and thus lift Thor's hammer Mjolnir, periodically defeating Ra and contending with his sibling Bast the Wakandan panther god, holding a grudge against the Stone Age Avengers aka Avengers of One Million BC for not being invited to join their ranks, bestowing superpowers upon his first ancient Moon Knight to trouble the ancient Avengers which led to the formation of the Cult of Khonshu, posing as a human pharaoh in the ancient Egyptian city Thebes, countless run-ins with the time-travelling Kang the Conqueror, a tepid relationship with his most notable avatar Marc Spector, to recent conflicts with the modern Avengers and a Phoenix Force empowered Marc Spector; Let's take a look at this ancient Marvel anti-hero, and one of the most powerful beings of the Egyptian Heliopolis that lends a portion of his power to any "Fist of Khonshu" aka Moon Knight. This includes a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," which I use to give ratings of comic book and science fiction characters.

Literally nobody does character breakdowns as well as you, Sage. Short, Sweet, Concise, Comprehensive. Whenever I'm telling my friends about a character, I check to see if they have a New Sage vid. Keep up the good work.

I heard of Moon Knight and Khonshu more or less all my life, yet know jack about them. Never read the comics, the only time I knew about Moony is when he appeared in a *"Marvel Two In One"* where he teamed with the Thing, Carol Danvers' Ms Marvel, Nick Fury, Wonder Man and the Beast. And that was way back in 1979 when I was still in school.

Thor - I am the strongest Avenger. Konshu lifts Thor's 🔨- here hold my beer.

[@alissa6]

Moon Knight is not pure hearted, so no he can't lift it. A Thor hating writer wrote that. Get over it. And Moon Knight is not an Avenger.

[@tonmy21]

@@alissa6 the logic behind that was quite acceptable. And if a fight ensues between Thor and Konshu then I guess Thor would loose from Konshu because Thor Hotheaded personality swinging with Haymakers but Konshu he is a schematic and also has experience than Thor and that Thor has been manipulated by Loki which is another evidence how naive Thor is. Writer or no writer exploring a new a Territory by Marvel is awesome where in DC is just struggling with its basic characters.

It was quite an ass pull that Mjolnir was suddenly made out of a Moon instead of a Neutron Star like it was originally stated to be. I hate it when they do that. Not as bad as when T'chala makes up super powers that he suddenly has just to counter whoever he is fighting, though.

[@jeremywoodard9211]

what part of that makes any sense it being made out of a neutron star there’s not that many neutron stars but there’s a lot of ooh that type of metal

[@LordProteus]

@@jeremywoodard9211 What kind of logic is that? There are Zero Gods and Super Heroes in reality, so your reasoning makes no sense. Even if there are very few Neutron Stars, it's fiction, and the writer decided that they used one to create Mjolnir. He also could have just created one if he wanted to.

[@garyabblott5815]

So I was thinking the other day and I need some serious clarification. Are Asgardian/Olympians real gods? or are they just immortals that have had some influence on history... like for example Thor does not create thunder or lightning, but he can summon it... so he is God of thunder for the fact he summons it not created it. Same with Gods like Aphrodite, she did not create love or anything like that, but she is the God of Love. Are there any gods that are creators and proper Gods, like the only ones I can kind of find are the Egyptian Gods because it seems like they are linked to the first beings on Earth
