The Marvel Rivals Season 1 launch has generated significant buzz, particularly surrounding a new Sue Storm skin: Malice. This article explains Malice's comic book origins and how to obtain the skin in-game.
Malice in Marvel Comics
Multiple characters have used the "Malice" moniker in Marvel Comics. However, the version in Marvel Rivals is an alternate personality of Sue Storm, similar to the Hulk's relationship with Bruce Banner.
Emerging after a miscarriage, Malice was triggered by the villain Psycho-Man, causing considerable trouble for the Fantastic Four. While Sue, with Reed Richards' help, eventually suppressed Malice, the evil persona reappeared during a Fantastic Four mission with the Silver Surfer involving the Infinity Gems. This storyline was notably adapted in the 1990s Fantastic Four animated series.
Obtaining the Malice Invisible Woman Skin
NetEase Games clearly found Malice's design compelling enough to include her in Marvel Rivals. The Malice skin will be released alongside Invisible Woman as part of the Season 1 update on January 10th, 2025.
Currently, the exact cost of the Malice skin is unknown, but considering the pricing of other skins, 2,400 Lattice is a likely price. Players might consider waiting for potential sales before purchasing.
It's crucial to note that the Malice skin won't be part of the Season 1 Battle Pass. While ten other costumes are unlockable via the Battle Pass, leaks confirm none are alternate styles for Fantastic Four members.
In summary, this details Malice's background and how to acquire the Invisible Woman Malice skin in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
