Instead of being physical gods, they're more spiritual gods. In a way, they're kind of like a lot of pop-culture ghosts. They don't really have a physical form, but can possess someone in order to temporarily have a physical body. This stems from the fact that a lot of Egyptian pharaohs claimed to be the gods, like Horus, Osiris, Amun-Ra, and others. So, it's a common theme in pop culture versions of Egyptian mythology for the gods to be incorporeal entities that need to possess an "Avatar" in order to actually manifest on Earth. In the comics, it was often unclear whether or not Moon Knight was actually the Avatar of Khonshu (Egyptian God of the Moon) or if he was just imagining the whole thing. So, the answer is "kind of yes." Marc Spector might actually be being possessed by Khonshu or he might just be crazy. It's not exactly clear.</blockquote>
