Muse (character)

Muse is the alias of two supervillains appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer-editor Charles Soule and artist Ron Garney, the character first appeared in Daredevil vol. 5 #11 (September 2016). The original Muse is an Inhuman serial killer artist who plans shocking mass murders, abductions, and torture as a means of creating his "art", converting them into works of street graffiti. He serves as an antagonist to Daredevil, Punisher, and Blindspot. Following the death of the original Muse, his ghost guides fellow artist Morgan Whittier as the second Muse. Two human incarnations of Muse appear in the television series Daredevil: Born Again, set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hunter Doohan portrayed Bastian Cooper in the first season (2025), while Margarita Levieva portrays Heather Glenn, who will become the second Muse in the third season (2027).
