4) This character has often been described by fellow characters as having psychological problems.

Adopting multiple alter egos as well as believing himself to be the avatar of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu have taken a toll on Moon Knight’s sanity and resulted in his suffering from dissociative identity disorder.

Moon Knight is often thought of as a Batman knockoff, though there are differences in characterization.

8) S/he has, at times, also wielded supernatural powers (but doesn’t normally have them).

Moon Knight was the Fist of Khonshu when he was possessed by the spirit of Khonshu and had temporary supernatural powers as a result.
