That all have 3 personalities. 1 is very extreme (Void, Hulk, Jake Lockley), one is more peaceful (Bob, Bruce Banner, Steven Grant), and one is neutral (Sentry, Dipshit Smart hulk, Mark Spectre)
At least the beast from split had a bunch, even though that movie was the worst portrayal of DID ever

Somehow I don't think something like Split was going for realism lmao

The differences are:
Hulk = Anger
Moonknight = Multiple Personality Disorder
Sentry = Depression & Mental Illness
___aibohphobia___2025-10-13 21:18
Yes but they all effectively have multiple personalities, just only one is specifically shown to be, also it’s called DID (dissociative identity disorder), multiple personality disorder is medically inaccurate
wildeebelmondo2025-10-13 21:23
Yes, they all are a reflection of real life problems. None of their issues are the same and definitely deserve to be explored in those characters. Grouping them all together as the same is missing the point.
___aibohphobia___2025-10-13 21:24
No shit they have different reasons for their conditions, and they all function differently, but in a practical sense they are all very similar
wildeebelmondo2025-10-13 21:26
It’s not just different reasons for their conditions, it’s that the conditions themselves are different and deserve a voice. Anyways, I’m done here.
Tipop2025-10-14 00:08
When I get angry, my personality is very different from when I’m chill. Do I have DID then? Are you suggesting that being bipolar is the same as having DID?
wildeebelmondo2025-10-14 00:49
OP seems to enjoy correcting everyone on mental illnesses, but also doesn’t seem to know the difference between DID and IED.
ccReptilelord2025-10-13 21:18
I think you're over simplifying the 3 personas. Professor Hulk is an amalgamation of Banner and Hulk, more of a compromise between the two than a separate thing. Bob and Sentry are basically the same person in the films; ones just eating a fancy suit. Moonknight is certainly 3 (known) personalities though. This feels more like pigeonholing to make a point.
___aibohphobia___2025-10-13 21:19
How tf are Bob and sentry tha same, Bob is chill af, sentry has a god complex and is really fuckin arrogant
abysmallybored2025-10-13 21:27
Sentry is just a suit and a code name, he doesn't magically transform nor does his mind split when he's wearing it, you're misinterpreting the character.
___aibohphobia___2025-10-13 21:28
It’s possible that he might, we still haven’t seen much of him yet
Tipop2025-10-14 00:07
He exists in the comics, though.
Dezbats2025-10-13 21:30
Bob is bipolar.
Sentry is him in a manic episode.
Void is him in a depressive episode.
___aibohphobia___2025-10-13 21:20
Also in the comics hulk often has DID
InvestigatorLive192025-10-13 21:21
Eh, I don't think any of these apart from moon Knight should be taken as having DID. Hulk is just the jekyll and Hyde trope of the monster within, and void is supposed to be symbolic of his depression, and more as a cost of using his extraordinary powers.
I don't know a ton about DID though, and I get that there's different ways to I turret them all, but imo the intentions of the writers were very different, and for hulk and void, probably weren't even thinking about DID when writing them.
___aibohphobia___2025-10-13 21:23
Hulk is say is second most similar to DID, because he shows 2 personalities fusing, which happens often in DID cases
InvestigatorLive192025-10-13 21:47
Do they ever merge personality though? Professor hulk is basically just strong Bruce banner, with none of the hulk really left
Tipop2025-10-14 00:13
To be fair, in the *comics* Bruce Banner is definitely suffering from DID. Trauma from his childhood and an abusive father, and he has more than just Hulk — he’s had many different personalities over the years, and each one manifests a different form.
There was a grey Hulk who wasn’t as strong but he was smart — not like Bruce is smart, but like a cunning criminal is smart.
Then there was a reptilian-looking Hulk who was much stronger than Hulk Original Flavor — he was the ultimate “protector” personality.
There have been others, but I’m not totally up on my Hulk lore, and we’re talking about MCU Hulk anyway. I was just sharing what it’s like in the comics.
Accomplished_Duty4152025-10-13 21:24
I don't think they are, correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not super knowledgeable in the lore. Firstly, smart hulk is not a third personality, it's just Banner's personality with a super powered body.
Secondly, we don't know anything about Jake Lockley in the MCU, including why Marc manifested him as an alter, so I think it's a bit early to draw any conclusions about him. Thirdly, I don't think Sentry is really in-between Void and Bob in terms of temperament. I see Sentry as Bob's idealized, more confident version of himself, while Void is a physical manifestation of all the negative emotions he suppressed.
Lastly, while the Banner/Hulk and Marc/Steven dynamics are similar on the surface, they are very different when you think about how the alters were manifested. Banner created the Hulk both to protect himself, and as an outlet for his suppressed rage. Marc created Steven as a way to hide from the real world and retain his childhood innocence.
___aibohphobia___2025-10-13 21:27
I know they’re not literally the same, but in a practical sense they are very similar, mark and sentry more so than hulk, Steven is also an idealized version of mark, judging by how Steven was an escape so Steven’s positivity could protect mark, and Jake is likely mark shows his depression and frustrations in a brutal violent character
Accomplished_Duty4152025-10-13 22:00
Okay, sure, you can definitely draw some parallels in a superficial, oversimplified sense.
Marc/Bob- Original personality with deep trauma
Steven/Sentry- Alter that doesn't have trauma or doesn't let it affect them
Jake/Void- Alter that gives into trauma and takes it out on the world
But this is purposefully ignoring all of the nuances that make them unique. Serious mental disorders in the real world are almost exclusively developed in response to trauma, so these parallels male a lot of sense. I've also discovered from some other comments that Bob doesn't actually have DID, he's Bipolar.
Tipop2025-10-14 00:15
Sentry is absolutely not DID. He’s bipolar. Manic/Depressive.
Ranos1312025-10-13 21:31
Banner/Hulk is only two characters. You trying to make it three is not understanding the character.
Bob is not suffering from DID. He’s manic depressive.
As for characters being similar, welcome to humanity and literature. There are similarities between a lot of us and between a lot of literary characters.
Even then, they aren’t that similar.
- Bruce is going with extreme calm to keep Hulk in check. Meanwhile, Steven is just a boring person. He isn’t doing what he does intentionally. It’s just who he is.
- We barely saw Jake in the MCU so speaking about his personality just has no basis. And trying to compare someone who just methodically killed a person and Hulk who has zero control is ridiculous.
- If you think the other three are neutral then you clearly did pay attention to any of them.
Character_Mind_6712025-10-13 21:54
They aren't.
Bob's personalities are confidence, paranoia and the insecurity between them.
Marc's personalities are guilt, innocence and remorselessness.
Banner's personalities are fight and flight. He only has 2 personalities with 2 different bodies.
juances192025-10-14 00:12
Because that's how you create an engaging story?
I mean, it would be uninteresting if you have a guy with 3 identical personalities that are always in agreement. You create conflict and tension by making them different instead.
Responsible_Egg75192025-10-14 16:54
Bob doesn’t have split personalities. He’s bipolar and Sentry and The Void are amped up versions of the manic and depressive states that he’s had since childhood. He experiences dissociation and amnesia after which is why he doesn’t remember anything, but there are no separate consciousnesses.
