The Marvel Rivals Season 1 launch has generated significant buzz, fueled not only by new game modes and maps, but also by the highly anticipated Malice skin for Sue Storm. This guide explains who Malice is and how to obtain this coveted skin.
Who is Malice in Marvel Comics?
While several Marvel characters have used the name "Malice," the version in Marvel Rivals is a dark alter-ego of Sue Storm, similar to the Hulk's relationship to Bruce Banner. Born from Sue's vulnerability following a miscarriage, Malice was unleashed by the villain Psycho-Man, causing significant turmoil for the Fantastic Four. Though Sue, with Reed Richards' help, eventually suppressed Malice, the malevolent personality resurfaced during the Fantastic Four's quest for the Infinity Gems alongside the Silver Surfer. This storyline significantly shaped Sue's character arc, even inspiring an adaptation in the 90s Fantastic Four animated series ("World Within Worlds").
How to Get the Malice Invisible Woman Skin in Marvel Rivals
NetEase Games clearly favored Malice's design, including it as a skin for Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals' Season 1 update, launching January 10th, 2025.
Currently, the Malice skin's price in Lattice is unconfirmed, but based on previous skins, 2,400 Lattice is a reasonable estimate. Players may wish to wait for potential sales before purchasing.
It's crucial to note: the Malice skin will not 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 the Fantastic Four.
In summary, this guide details Malice's origin and how to acquire the Invisible Woman Malice skin in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
