Khonsu, The ancient Egyptian god of the Moon


I didn't know that I would need to know that. Black Panther gives us Bastet and Layla might become the Scarab, or Red Scarab but is the avatar of Taweret.

Layla and Marc remind me of my early childhood days of reading Hawkman and Hawkgirl:

The Silver Age versions of Hawkman and Hawkgirl became married Thanagarian police officers from the planet Thanagar who come to Earth in order to study police techniques. Silver Age Hawkgirl is introduced as Shayera Hol (phonetically identical to Shiera Hall), who appears in costume as of her first appearance.
As a kid they were a great superhero couple to me. For the MCU Marc and Layla might be a step-up over Ant-Man and Wasp.

A pretty rubbish god. Gets beaten easily by an alligator.

To level-set, Khonsu appeared to be withered and long in the tooth. Or would that be beak?

Yeah, he was lacking in followers
