The gaming community is abuzz with the launch of *Marvel Rivals* Season 1, and it's not just the new modes and maps that are generating buzz. The internet is particularly excited about one of Sue Storm's outfits. Let's dive into who Malice is in the Marvel universe and how you can snag the Malice skin in *Marvel Rivals*.
Who Is Malice in Marvel Comics?
In Marvel Comics, the name Malice is shared by various characters, including some lesser-known villains and a mutant recruited by Mister Sinister for his Marauders. However, the Malice featured in *Marvel Rivals* is an alter-ego of Sue Storm, akin to the relationship between The Hulk and Bruce Banner.
After suffering a miscarriage, Sue Storm finds herself vulnerable, and the villain Psycho-Man exploits this, unleashing Malice. This darker persona wreaks havoc for the Fantastic Four. With the help of her husband, Reed Richards, Sue manages to overcome Malice, but the evil alter-ego resurfaces during a mission with the Silver Surfer to locate the Infinity Gems. This significant arc in Sue's life was even adapted in the '90s *Fantastic Four* animated series episode "World Within Worlds."
