Malice Marvel Rivals: Who is She; Origins Explored

Malice is Sue Storm’s dark persona in Marvel Rivals. She appears as a fierce alternate skin for Invisible Woman. The skin was released on January 10, 2025. Psycho‑Man triggered her transformation by manipulating Sue’s emotions. Mister Fantastic later helped her regain control. The Malice skin features a striking red and black design. It stands out with sharp edges and intense energy.

Lore Background

Malice first appeared in Fantastic Four issue #280. Psycho‑Man used a device called the Hate‑Monger to bring out Sue’s darker side. Under his control, Sue attacked her teammates. She eventually broke free thanks to Mister Fantastic, though the experience changed her. Afterward, she adopted the name Invisible Woman. Malice continued to exist as a part of her, representing her inner rage and pain. The name “Malice” has also been used by other characters in Marvel history.

In‑Game Appearance

In Marvel Rivals, Malice is an Epic-tier skin. Her look includes silver hair, a spiked black suit, and glowing red accents. The bundle includes more than just the outfit. Players get a special emote, a themed spray, a custom nameplate, and a unique MVP screen called “Malicious Whirlwind.” The emote, titled “Inner Turmoil,” reflects her intense, emotional background. It’s a complete visual package that enhances the character’s presence in-game.

Unlocking Malice

Players can unlock Malice through the in-game shop. The full bundle costs 1,600 Lattice, the game’s premium currency. Lattice can be bought in different bundles, with prices ranging from $0.99 to $19.99. If you just want the skin, it’s available separately for 1,400 Lattice. Players can also use Units instead of Lattice. The skin is not currently included in any battle pass.

Fan Reception

Fans have responded positively to Malice’s arrival. Her design is bold and different from the standard skins. Many players appreciate the deep lore connection and her emotional intensity. While some feel the bundle is expensive, others think the extras make it worth the price. Malice has quickly become one of the standout cosmetic options for Invisible Woman.
