Danielle "Dani" Moonstar, originally codenamed Psyche and later Mirage, is a Northern Cheyenne superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She first appeared in the graphic novel The New Mutants (Sept. 1982), created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Bob McLeod. The character is usually depicted as associated with the New Mutants, but also as a member of the Valkyries of Asgard.
A mutant, Moonstar originally possessed the psionic/psychic ability to telepathically create illusions of her opponents' fears or wishes. She later developed a wide range of psionic and energy manipulation powers, and gained magical abilities after a series of adventures in Asgard. She was a member of the New Mutants and, after a long absence, its reincarnation as X-Force. She was also a member of the X-Men, Young X-Men and the Fearless Defenders. She was depowered after Decimation, but later regained her powers after being infected with, then cured of Warlock's transmode virus by Dark Beast. She then went on to resume her duties as a Valkyrie after making a deal with Hela.
Blu Hunt portrayed Danielle Moonstar in the 2020 film The New Mutants.
