Fitting to his name, Muscle Man is a tall guy with a bulky, muscular frame, and tanned skin. He has spiky, dark brown hair that's styled upwards, and wears a unique mask that obscures his entire face. He also wears a simple green t-shirt, baggy jeans, and brown shoes.

U.S.J. Arc#
Muscle Man is one of the several villains who invaded the U.S.J. led by Tomura Shigaraki.[3] Eraser Head confronts them to protect the students. While the hero was in the middle of fighting Steel Bulwark, Muscle Man sneaks from behind and tries to punch Eraser Head. Eraser Head easily ducks and kicks Muscle Man away before flinging down Steel Bulwark on to the other villain using his Capturing Weapon. Steel Bulwark, Muscle Man, and two other unnamed villains were all incapacitated at once.
He is later arrested when the Pro Heroes arrived.
