Moon Knight is no Superman. The days of the good versus evil dichotomy are no more. Everyone has a little evil in them, and everyone has a little good, heroes and villains included. We’re now in an age, especially in the MCU, when heroes can become villains and vice versa. Take Loki for example — he was the main villain in The Avengers, aiming to take control of Earth, and now he’s the hero of Loki, aiming to save the universe from Kang the Conqueror.

Alternatively, Wanda Maximoff was a villain, but then became a hero when she joined the Avengers, and then once again was on the wrong side of history when she took over the minds and lives of the people in Westview in WandaVision. So it wouldn’t be completely out of character for a Marvel character, especially one in a television series, to have elements of good and evil within them. All we know for certain is that Moon Knight has “chaos” within him.

It’s very clear that Steven Grant is doing everything he can to be a good person, but how is Khonshu affecting that? In the comic books, Khonshu drives Marc to kill on multiple occasions, which would make him a bit more evil than other traditional heroes.

Plus, Khonshu is essentially forcing Marc to act on his behalf. In the comic books, Khonshu drives Marc so mad that Khonshu eventually takes over Marc’s body while Marc and his alters fight it out amongst themselves, locked up inside of Marc’s brain.

So, is Khonshu evil? Not completely. Is he a villain? He could be a villain to Marc/Steven, but a hero to the world. It’s all a gray area, just as Arthur Harrow’s intention to rid the world of evil makes his villainy just as complicated as Moon Knight’s heroism.
