Wondering why Marvel Rivals fans are hyped over the new Malice, aka Sue Storm, skin? This bold, limited-time cosmetic has taken the community by storm, quickly becoming one of the game’s most talked-about additions. Social media is ablaze with reactions, from instant praise to fiery debates about its design and pricing.
Whether you’re looking to grab this exclusive skin or curious about the buzz, here’s everything you need to know—and how much it’ll cost to add it to your collection.
Who is Marvel Rivals’ Malice in the comics?
Malice is a dark persona of Susan Storm, created in Fantastic Four #280 by John Byrne.
Introduced as a result of manipulation by the supervillain Psycho-Man, Malice emerged when Psycho-Man twisted Susan’s emotions, turning her love into hatred. This transformation came after a traumatic experience—a miscarriage—leaving Susan vulnerable to Psycho-Man’s control.
Psycho-Man used his Hate-Monger android to exploit Susan’s grief, corrupting her into Malice, a ruthless version of herself. Though Reed Richards eventually broke Psycho-Man’s hold on Susan, the emotional scars remained. The Malice persona symbolizes Susan’s struggle with trauma and rage, making her character more complex. Her portrayal as a “sexy” skin in Marvel Rivals has sparked debate, as many fans feel it trivializes her darker storyline.
How to get Invisible Woman’s Malice skin in Marvel Rivals and what’s the price?
To acquire the Malice skin, players will need to purchase it from the in-game store using units, as there is currently no way to unlock it through gameplay. The skin can be bought individually for 1,400 units or as part of the Malice Bundle for 1,600 units during the launch sale. Once the sale ends, the bundle will return to its full price of 2,200 units.
The Malice Bundle includes several cosmetic items alongside the skin:
- Malice Costume
- Malicious Whirlwind MVP
- Inner Turmoil Emote
- Malice Nameplate
- Spray
The bundle offers more value, as buying the items separately costs significantly more. Players can grab the bundle when Season 1 drops on January 10, making it a popular early purchase for fans.
Reactions to the Malice skin have been strong on social media, with some fans loving its dark aesthetic while others criticize it for being provocative. Regardless, the demand for the skin remains high, with players eager to add it to their collections.
