Marc Experiences blackouts too And It’s not steven taking over

Marc experiences the same disorientation when he gets blackouts too. However, it turns out that Steven isn’t the one taking over anymore during these blackouts. If it’s not Steven, then it must be the other personality/alter from the comics: Jake Lockley. However, this has yet to be confirmed in the MCU series, as Jake has yet to be mentioned.

The end credits sort of teases this already, with what looks like three figures or three sections of his head split.

There Are Avatars Of Other Egyptian Gods

When Khonshu teleports Marc to inside of the Great Pyramid of Giza, he meets other Avatars of other Egyptian Gods like Hathor, Isis, Horus, and more.

It turns out that the other Egyptian gods has a similar excuse to the Eternals. They didn’t want to meddle with humanity.

Meet Anton Mogart AKA Midnight Man

Anton Mogart is played by the late Gaspard Ulliel (he passed away earlier this year due to a skiing accident). In the comics, Anton Mogart, as Midnight Man, is a costumed criminal who steals art treasures and valuable original manuscripts. As part of his schtick, he “always struck at midnight”, which is how he gets his name.

If the character is still alive by the end of this series, Marvel Studios will likely have to recast the role.

Moon Knight Immediately Changes Suits When He Changes Personalities

Interesting, his suit immediately changes when he changes personality. In the comics, he uses the Mr Knight suit when dealing with crime scene investigation and consulting openly with law enforcement.

Khonshu Gets Imprisoned

Khonshu uses his powers to manipulate the weather in order to find Ammit’s tomb, but the Egyptian gods punishes him for that by imprisoning him. As a result, Marc/Steven loses their powers.

Until next week, true believers, excelsior!
