Bastian Cooper, also known as Muse, is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Bullseye) of Season 1 of the 2025 Disney+ Marvel Cinematic Universe series Daredevil: Born Again. He was a graffiti artist and sadistic serial killer who terrorized New York City by murdering people before making art out of their blood and organs.

He was portrayed by Hunter Doohan, who also played Tyler Galpin in Wednesday.

Biography[]

Personality[]

For as of yet unknown reasons, Muse stalked New York for his victims, stealing them away to his underground lair where he proceeded to brutally murder and dismember them. He then used their blood and body parts to make art. He was completely detached to the suffering he caused and was known to keep the corpses of his victims around long after their demises.
