The gaming community is abuzz with the launch of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1, and not just for the new modes and maps. A significant portion of the excitement is centered around one of Sue Storm's outfits—the Malice skin. Let's dive into who Malice is in Marvel Comics and how you can get this coveted skin in *Marvel Rivals*.
Who Is Malice in Marvel Comics?
In Marvel Comics, multiple characters have taken on the moniker of Malice, including some lesser-known villains and a mutant from Mister Sinister's Marauders. However, the Malice that *Marvel Rivals* is introducing is an alter-ego of Sue Storm, similar to how The Hulk is to Bruce Banner.
After suffering a miscarriage, Sue Storm finds herself in a vulnerable state, which the villain Psycho-Man exploits to awaken Malice. This causes havoc for the Fantastic Four until Sue, with the help of her husband Reed Richards, manages to break free from Malice's control. However, Malice resurfaces when the Fantastic Four join the Silver Surfer in a quest for the Infinity Gems. This storyline is significant enough that it was adapted into the '90s *Fantastic Four* animated series episode "World Within Worlds."

How To Get the Malice Invisible Woman Skin in Marvel Rivals
Although it's been some time since Malice appeared in Marvel Comics media, NetEase Games has chosen to feature her design in their hero shooter. The Malice skin for Invisible Woman will be available when she joins the game as part of the Season 1 update on January 10th, 2025.
Currently, there's no specific information on the cost of the Malice skin in *Marvel Rivals*, but if we look at the pricing of other skins, it's likely to be around 2,400 Lattice. Keep in mind that skins often go on sale, so it might be wise to wait for a discount before purchasing this evil persona of Invisible Woman.
It's worth noting that the Malice skin will not be part of the Season 1 Battle Pass. The Battle Pass will include ten unlockable costumes, but leaks have confirmed that none of these are alternate styles for the Fantastic Four members.
And that's the story of Malice and how to acquire the Invisible Woman's Malice skin in *Marvel Rivals*.
*Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.*
