The debut edition of Kahori finds her chasing a variant of Loki across the Marvel Multiverse, leading her into mainstream Marvel continuity, where she comes face to face with physical manifestations of Moon Knight’s personalities.
Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1 – written by Ryan Little, Arihhonni “Honni” David and Kelly Lynne D’Angelo, with art by Todd Harris, David Cutler and Jim Terry – brings Kahhori to Moon Knight’s Midnight Mission, where she comes face to face with three alternate Moon Knight personasall in physical form, drastically reshaping how Marvel readers understand the character.
While dueling Loki with the help of Daredevil and Echo, Kahhori accidentally travels through a portal, bringing her to the Earth-616 timeline in this thrilling debut series from the MCU hero.

At first, Kahhori expresses concern at seeing a Moon Knight, demonstrating her experience traveling the Multiverse from the And if…? season two finale, after helping Captain Carter defeat Strange Supreme. However, Moon Knight corrects her, saying that there is not just one Moon Knight, but all of them, referring to all of her different personas. All of the different versions of Moon Knight’s personas last appeared at once in Moon Knight: City of the Dead (2023) #5, but this could only happen within the Duat; Now, Marc Spector, Jake Lockley, and Khonshu’s physical transformations are appearing on Earth.
When Kahhori confronts the Moon Knights’ team of personalities, she quickly dispatches Jake Lockley’s “the Traveler” and Khonshu’s “the Pathfinder.”
What was originally thought to be impossible – the physical incarnations of the Traveler and the Pathfinder appearing alongside Moon Knight – now appears to be a power that Moon Knight can achieve by dividing all of his dissociative personalities to create an army. When Kahhori confronts the Moon Knights’ team of personalities, she quickly dispatches Jake Lockley’s “the Traveler” and Khonshu’s “the Pathfinder.” This could imply that the new versions of Moon Knight’s transformations could be weaker than the original Moon Knight’s when outside of the Duat, the Egyptian land of the dead where souls go to be judged.
Kahhori and Moon Knight find a common interest after a rocky start

After Kahhori defeats the other versions of Moon Knight and holds Marc Spector with her powers, she tests his understanding and knowledge of the moon. Moon Knight affirms his statement, saying he was the avatar of a god and asks: “do you know something about the moon that we don’t know?” once again referring to her many personalities that she quickly mastered. Kahhori explains that the moon spirit is not to be claimed, but rather allowed to enter the heart. Moon Knight genuinely admires her sentiment and joins her to help defeat Loki.
Kahhori’s new friendship with Moon Knight will give her a new ally whenever she’s on Earth-616and we hope they will have more interactions in the future to continue to develop their knowledge of the moon together. Moon Knight’s new personality transformations also make him a powerful ally to team up with in the future should she find herself in a difficult situation. Since Kahhori is an original Marvel Studios character, perhaps she will appear again in And if…?, or another MCU project, but now comic fans know what a formidable force she is, after her latest encounter with Moon Knight.
Kahhori: Reshaper of Worlds #1 is now available from Marvel Comics.
