#then there is the “Collective” Khonshu that is a fusion of all the beliefs of every single Fist

[ghostly-wisteria-tea]

So I think I finally got another headcannon on how 616 Khonshu works.

He works as a collective consciousness. The result of so many thoughts, souls mixing in. Mostly thoughts and ideaologies of his followers, the previous knights and anything else that got in the mix over the centuries.

Imagine an Alien trying to act human, but it doesn't know where to start. So it decides to copy as many thoughts process as possible as reference to use. And after thousand of years, it result in this massively unorganized mess.

Think of how ChatGPT or an AI going through a million text to try and mimic them to one coherent sentence. Only let the software keep doing it non-stop for like 3 thousand years.

616 Khonshu's knowledge is also limited to how much of that "data" he has collected over the years and if they are organized enough to actually be used. Since some can be very contradictory due to the changing nature of humanity, their ideologies/world views and concept. One idea that was accepted, will be called evil after a couple of centuries.

And another result of this huge mess, is the possibility of many personalities being created, each with their own set of characteristics as it is impossible to keep one personality permanently with how much "data" Khonshu have absorbed in the past millenia and again, how contradictory they can be.

So to fix this, Khonshu created a separate personality to house that contradiction while keeping the previous data intact. 616 Khonshu is an eldrich alien being, so he can do weird shit like fully change his personality on a whim.

And he keeps doing it for each era since a Medieval Moon Knight would have one view of Khonshu, justice, philosophy and the world as a whole. While a Moon Knight from China would also have a very view of Khonshu, Justice and philosophy of the universe.

Khonshu then creates another personality once the previous one is no longer compatible with the philosophy of the current Moon Knight.

This can be both negative and positive. And it is very situational on who Khonshu is facing, as like a swiss army knife, Khonshu will instinctively search though his internal "library", find the right personality and use that when facing the viewer.

The Khonshu Badr is facing is different from the Khonshu Marc is facing. They are all the same "Khonshu", just slightly different as each is tailor made to work with each Fist. And rather, it is what each Fist thinks that "Khonshu" should be.

Like they get to personalize what their "Khonshu" will act and treat them like. And yes, I am implying that Marc intentionally wants Khonshu to be a huge jerk to him. This is linked to his massive guilt and yearning for redemption. And masochistic tendencies where he wants to be punished, and Khonshu fills that role perfectly.
