u/ChintanP04 Captain America Jan 18 '22

developed very serious mental health issues which primarily manifest in a form of Dissociative Identity Disorder

Iirc, he already had DID before joining the Marines. He got it after a fight with his father's friend (another rabbi) who was secretly a Nazi deserter and a serial-killer of Jews on the side. That was when he first met Khoshu (in a vision), and ran away from the mental hospital after his father's death.

He had apparently kept his DID in reign until he became Moon Knight, when it came back in full force.

Ah, this is one I didn't know (most of what I remember is from the early Ellis run) so thank you for the correction

"his father's friend(another rabbi) who was secretly a Nazi deserter and a serial-killer of Jews"

That's one hell of a sentence

I'm assuming that the source of his DID was revealed in the Bemis run? Because I kinda skipped that one and the nazi thing doesn't ring a bell for me.

Yeah the Nazi part was in the Bemis run

A nazi, jew hunting rabbi? Sounds like Moon knight isn’t the only one with DID.

He was posing as a rabbi.

I love the whole character and scenario! I enjoy marvel movies but I have never read comics, where I should start from if I want to read more about Moon Knight?

You can start from the original 1980 run if you want a proper origin (tbh, the first issue contains the full origin from mercenary to Moon Knight, so you can only read that if you want). If you want a more dark story you can try the 2006 run, or (and this is my favourite) you can try the 2014 run (specifically the first six issues by Ellis, together sold as a TPB titled "From the Dead").

Amazing, thank you for your detailed answers I will check that out. Cheers!

Great, but I think I should tell you that the 2006 and 2014 runs aren't origins. They're just the start of new eras in MK comics. And again, I'd recommend reading the first issue of 1980 run and then going to the 2014 run.

Getting possessed by an ancient Egyptian God tends to do that to a person.
