The Marvel Rivals Season 1 launch has generated significant buzz, particularly surrounding a new Sue Storm skin: Malice. This guide explains Malice's comic book origins and how to acquire the skin in-game.
Malice in Marvel Comics:
The name "Malice" has been used by several Marvel characters. However, the Marvel Rivals version is an alternate personality of Sue Storm, similar to the Hulk's relationship with Bruce Banner. Emerging after a traumatic miscarriage, Malice is exploited by Psycho-Man, causing considerable trouble for the Fantastic Four. Though temporarily subdued with Reed Richards' help, Malice resurfaces during the Fantastic Four's Infinity Gem quest. This storyline is significant to Sue's character development, even inspiring an adaptation in the 1990s Fantastic Four animated series.
Unlocking the Malice Invisible Woman Skin:
NetEase Games incorporated Malice into Marvel Rivals, likely drawn to her striking design. The Malice skin will be available alongside Invisible Woman's release in the Season 1 update on January 10th, 2025.
The exact cost remains unconfirmed, but judging by previous skins, 2,400 Lattice is a reasonable estimate. Players may wish to wait for potential sales before purchasing.
Crucially, the Malice skin isn't 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 guide details Malice's background and how to obtain the Invisible Woman Malice skin in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
