4. Marvel’s Egyptian Pantheon
Marvel's Egypt is its own thing. For the most part, it’s tied in with Moon Knight, one of my all-time favorite underrated Marvel characters.
A mercenary working in Egypt, Marc Spector was betrayed and left for dead. In a bloody stupor, he crawled into a tomb and bled out at the feet of a statue of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, to whom he prayed to be resurrected. Khonshu listened, resurrected Marc, and turned him into the Moon Knight, Khonshu's champion on earth.

Well, maybe. Marc also suffered from a deeply outdated depiction of DID or MPD, which means maybe he just hallucinated everything? In the storyline Crazy Runs in the Family in the most recent Moon Knight series (which I highly recommend because it’s great), a mental patient apparently believed that he had been imbued with the spirit of Ra the Sun God.
He then began to shoot fire from his hands, so maybe it wasn't craziness, after all. Ra and Khonshu battled it out, and with Moon Knight’s help, Khonshu emerged victorious.

3. DC’s Egyptian Pantheon
DC also has some pretty strong ties to ancient Egypt, predominantly through a select group of Golden and Silver Age characters. First up, we have Ra! Ra only had only a couple connections with the DCU, but my personal favorite was his orb, the source of Metamorpho's powers. Horus, in addition to granting Black Adam a subsection of his powers and being loosely linked with Hawkman, specifically gifted him with the giant-ass glove he uses to do magnetism stuff.
Dr. Fate also had ties through Nabu, the Egyptian wizard who granted him his powers. He sometimes fought Anubis, who also had a part in fighting the second Doctor Fate during War of the Gods. There's also Thoth, who gave Black Adam his wisdom and Ibis his staff, namely… *sigh*…the Ibistick. Khonshu may not have had a DC Universe counterpart, but – as previously mentioned – Ra did.
Aside from giving the Metamorphos and Dr. Fate their powers, he also helped Urania Blackwell, aka Element Woman, commit assisted suicide. They’re actual gods, so they’re obviously more powerful than Marvel's equivalents.
