The gaming community is abuzz with the launch of Marvel Rivals Season 1, and the excitement isn't just about new game modes and maps. The internet is captivated by Sue Storm's alternate persona, Malice, and her accompanying skin. This guide explains who Malice is and how to obtain the skin in Marvel Rivals.
Unmasking Malice in Marvel Comics
Several characters have borne the name Malice in Marvel Comics. Some are minor villains, while another is a mutant recruited by Mister Sinister. However, the Malice in Marvel Rivals is Sue Storm's alter ego, mirroring the Hulk's relationship to Bruce Banner.
Following a miscarriage, Sue's vulnerability is exploited by Psycho-Man, unleashing Malice and causing chaos for the Fantastic Four. Though she eventually separates from Malice with Reed Richards' help, this darker personality resurfaces when the Fantastic Four join the Silver Surfer's quest for the Infinity Gems. This pivotal event for Sue even led to Malice's adaptation in the 90s Fantastic Four animated series ("World Within Worlds").
Acquiring the Malice Invisible Woman Skin
NetEase Games clearly appreciated Malice's design, incorporating her into their hero shooter. The Malice skin will be released alongside Invisible Woman as part of the Season 1 update on January 10th, 2025.
Currently, the Malice skin's price in Marvel Rivals is unconfirmed. However, based on previous skin pricing, 2,400 Lattice is a reasonable estimate. Keep in mind that skins often go on sale, so delaying the purchase until a potential price drop might be wise.
It's crucial to note that Malice won't be part of the Season 1 Battle Pass. While ten costumes are unlockable via the Battle Pass, leaks confirm none are alternate styles for the Fantastic Four.
This concludes our explanation of Malice and how to obtain the Invisible Woman skin in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
