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 one particular Sue Storm skin: the Malice outfit. This guide explains who Malice is and how to obtain this coveted skin in Marvel Rivals.
Understanding Malice in Marvel Comics
The name "Malice" has been used by several characters in Marvel Comics. Some are minor villains, while another is a mutant recruited by Mister Sinister. However, the Malice in Marvel Rivals is an alternate personality of Sue Storm, similar to the Hulk's relationship with Bruce Banner.
After a miscarriage, Sue's vulnerability is exploited by the villain Psycho-Man, unleashing Malice and causing chaos for the Fantastic Four. With Reed Richards' help, Sue manages to suppress Malice, but the dark personality resurfaces during a mission with the Silver Surfer to find the Infinity Gems. This event significantly shapes Sue's character arc, leading to the adaptation of Malice in the 1990s Fantastic Four animated series ("World Within Worlds" episode).
Acquiring the Malice Invisible Woman Skin in Marvel Rivals
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 exact cost of the Malice skin in Marvel Rivals is unknown. However, based on previous skin prices, 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 will not be included in the Season 1 Battle Pass. While ten costumes are unlockable through the Battle Pass, leaks confirm none are alternate styles for Fantastic Four members.
This concludes our guide on Malice and how to get the Invisible Woman Malice skin in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
