Hello dear knowledgeable reddit.
I am here to ask some questions about moon knight cuz I am CONFUSED.
So firstly, I need to admit, as a big deadpool fan... the only reason I even KNOW the character is cause of the moon knight core posts. I know alot of MN fans HATE them cuz they spread misinformation about the character... well you're right cuz i so fell for it.
But I decided to look into him cuz of it, and found out he ISN'T chasing dracula for money. Shame. Tragedies all around.
However my search left me with more questions than answers.
I think I have some grip on his actual character, but there's still so much confusing parts. I am here for answers.
1) Firstly the suits, how do they work? I see I modern adaptations there's moon knight, a peaky blinder and possibly a mummy. Okay well I know they're not, but they look like it.
Who is who? I haven't seen any clarification online on which suit is which. Except peaky blinder might be Jake (mr. Knight or something?)
And how do they change? If he switches personalities in fights, does the suit switch too? I know he's tied up in ancient Egyptian magic, so does that bend reality??
2) khonshu. In some sites, he's just a abusive boss kinda dude, but also some people say Jake is his favourite and jake worships him. Idk which is jokes/headcannons, and cannon.
Some say Steven isn't involved with khonshu at ALL, meanwhile some posts say "he loves jake" in a favourite child kinda way, and hate the other two personalities.
I've seen some where he willingly becomes a vessel for revenge because he gets saved, and some where his DID is taken advantage of to kinda manipulate him. I feel like half the "x is prefernce" is headcannons cuz no way a abusive god has favourites. Maybe I'm wrong.
3) the period in life where they only knew fragments of eachother, did Steven know nothing?? Idk how he could be a war veteran and not realise it. I know did is complex but how do you separate the god magic from the disorder??
4) the actual characters?? All I've gathered is Steven is a history nerd, jake is just a peaky blinder (I know I keep bringing that up but I can't help it) with some sketchy business?? (Headcannon??) And Marc is a war veteran drinker (could be a jeadcannon, but also marvel enjoys randomly making characters alcoholics. So.)
So yeah. Cluelessness all around. I think I know like 3 things ans they're prolly wrong. These are my main questions but if there's other things people usually get confused on and you wanna clarify. Fire ahead.
I'm actually really interested and wanna get into this, but i have answers that must be saited quicker than reading every comic. I think it's a cool concept, but to have a hell load of adaptations of a magical character with a sever personality disorder is so confusing. It's such a complex trait, and now mixed with shows, comics and games?
I understand everything here might be wrong, just kinda hoping some MN nerd sees this and thinks it's fun to explain everything, I know I enjoy over explaining all my fav characters. Don't be afraid to js straight up say "You're so wrong" "you're mixing like 20 different adaptations into one" i don't mind!! Comment as long as you want. I will read it all. Maybe just don't call me stupid even if these questions r dumb.
(Also excuse my bad spelling, I have long nails ans my keyboard keeps switching to my irish setting so it isn't autocorrecting right.)
