Warning: We’ll be getting into spoilers from Daredevil: Born Again episode 7 from this point on.
Museis, as many fans online guessed, Bastian Cooper,played by Wednesday actor Hunter Doohan.
Horrifyingly, Muse is a serial killer artist whose medium of choice is human blood and body parts.
Later, he graduates to sculpture made with the corpses of his fellow Inhumans.
Theres no taking off the mask to reveal someone from Daredevils past, or that hes another Marvel villain.
Muse is Banksy, but with a bit more murder: he could be anyone, at any time.
He is pure villainy, and pure art.
Change of approach
Daredevil: Born Again goes a different route with the Bastian reveal.
There are similar touch-points with the comic, of course.
Muse has indeed been painting murals with human blood and has had at least 60 victims if not more.
It becomes clear to Heather pretty quickly that something is very disturbed about Bastian.
Instead, Heather shoots Muse several times, killing him.
Muse/Bastian, meanwhile, is no trauma, all enjoyment of killing.
The bigger divide is in terms of missing the theatricality of the villain.
But theres a downsizing of Muse as an artist on the TV show, as well.
His art is certainly better than average, but theyre not Banksy or Warhol.
The works Muse created in the comics felt like they were nightmares straight from the depths of Hell.
The ones on TV look like a viral promo campaign for the TV show Daredevil: Born Again.
Is this a misstep for the series?
And Doohan, as mentioned, makes a memorable baddie.
As is, he likely wont be fetching a high price at auction.
Daredevil: Born Again is airing weekly onDisneyPlus.
