This post contains spoilers forDaredevil: Born Againepisode 4.
A masked figure carries an incapacitated young man through a subway tunnel, all lit in jaundiced yellow.
That figure isMuse, the prime supervillain antagonist ofBorn Agains first season.
The superhero team-up moment consists of Matt and Frank Castle akathe Punisherarguing about the nature of justice.
Four episodes in,Born Againhas done nothing but test that faith.
We first see Leroy outside of a convenience store, where hes being detained for stealing snack foods.
When Matt meets with Leroy, hes taken aback by what he considers an unreasonable request.
Leroy, a serial small-time offender, demands probation instead of the standard 30 days of jail time.
The law is not equal.
The law is not just.
And then, Muse shows up.
The answer, of course, is teased in this episode.
Towards the end, Matt opens his hidden room, filled with his Daredevil equipment.
But for Matt Murdock, its a full fall from grace.
In the end, Muse does what not even Wilson Fisk could do.
