The Marvel Rivals Season 1 launch has ignited a frenzy, particularly surrounding Sue Storm's alternate persona, Malice. This guide explains Malice's comic book origins and how to acquire her skin in Marvel Rivals.
Malice: A Dark Reflection of Sue Storm
While several characters have borne the name "Malice" in Marvel Comics, the version featured in Marvel Rivals is Sue Storm's malevolent alter ego. Triggered by a traumatic miscarriage and exploited by Psycho-Man, Malice emerged, wreaking havoc on the Fantastic Four. Though temporarily subdued with Reed Richards' help, Malice resurfaced during the Fantastic Four's Infinity Gem quest, solidifying her place in Sue's history and inspiring her portrayal in the 1990s Fantastic Four animated series.
Unlocking the Malice Skin
NetEase Games' inclusion of Malice reflects the character's striking design. The Malice skin will be available alongside Invisible Woman's addition to the game's roster on January 10th, 2025, as part of the Season 1 update.
While the exact cost remains unconfirmed, a price of 2,400 Lattice is anticipated, based on previous skin pricing. Players might consider waiting for potential sales before purchasing.
Crucially, the Malice skin will not be included in the Season 1 Battle Pass. All ten Battle Pass skins have leaked, and none are alternate styles for the Fantastic Four.
In summary, this guide details Malice's background and how to obtain her skin in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
