It would make for a great moment if they stretch this into an arc.
After like an entire season(s) of everyone questioning whether Marc is just talking nonsense or not, even when Marc himself starts believing there is no Egyptian God and he’s just loony, right there in the final moment that counts it turns out it was all real after all.
Could be some real spectacular shit.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."While I am imagining this in terms of a fairly light-hearted Moon Knight show (which probably is not the direction chosen), my idea was pretty much that Mark would survive a double-cross in the Middle East under ambiguously magical circumstances (basically, his co-workers in a company that is totally not Blackwater would try to kill him and there would be a cave collapse that would kill everyone except for Mark).
And I have him bring back home an idol of Khonshu, and he'd hear it talking to him, although the audience wouldn't necessarily hear anything except for static. And you'd have discussion about how the statue seems to be a modern fake of the kind that would be sold to tourists.
My general idea is a a combination of the Ultimate Universe's Thor (possibly crazy guy with possible magic powers) and Tom Hardy's Venom (nice guy with some issues bonded to a force of destruction).

Yeah. Kind of hard to argue with that. Especially because my mind does keep going back to that scandal about Hobby Lobby dealing in questionably ethical/legal (and sometimes questionably genuine) antiquities.
Part of my thought process was inspired by the Leverage episode "The Homecoming Job" where sympathetic U.S. soldiers are double crossed by Not!Blackwater. But if Marc actually works for them and has some connection with antiques theft (hence Khonshu) than it's hard to frame him as heroic, even if he's more sympathetic than Bushman.

The origin Ellis gave in his run is that Marc had brain damage, and Konshu used that to install himself in his mind and fracturing it into different personalities. It balances his mental health (Ellis said he wanted to retcon the whole split personality origin since he has a friend who has DID and he hated the way it was depicted in MK) with the more supernatural aspects of his mythos.

Eh, I would disagree. In the last years you had the redefining run by Ellis, the pulpy stories that followed, Lemire's excellent run, and other guest star participations like in Damnation that officially made him part of the Midnight Sons. After that everything went downhill with Bemis' run and Aaron's recent Avengers storyline, but overall a positive balance.

that much is fairly accurate though Spawn has powers whereas Moon Knight is Badass Normal (usually) - though occasionally he ends up as a low level super.
I'm guessing Jazinda the Skrull, to tie into that side of things a bit more. She was is in the "best friend/sidekick" role for a while and shape shifting is probably one of the more budget friendly abilities.

"These 'no-nonsense' solutions of yours just don't hold water in a complex world of jet-powered apes and time travel."I've seen one theory that she might be playing Jill Stevens
, an obscure She-Hulk character who was killed after her first appearance.

It depends how they do it of course, but if they want to make Moon Knight distinct from, say, Batman they'll lean into the supernatural stuff.
With Hawke being cast, Bushman probably wont be anything but a secondary villain, but he's still tied to Marc's origin considering he's the one who kills Marc.
