Moon Knight

Moon Knight is a Marvel Comics superhero, a vigilante with dissociative identity disorder who derives powers from the Egyptian moon god Khonshu.

The character's multiple personalities—mercenary Marc Spector, wealthy Steven Grant, cab driver Jake Lockley—complicate his crime-fighting and sanity.

The Moon Knight series explores mental illness more directly than most superhero comics.
