Exciting news for fans of Marvel Rivals! The game has unveiled a brand-new skin for the Invisible Woman, transforming her into the formidable Malice. Set for release on January 10, this launch is poised to ignite intense competition in the game.
Launched on December 6, 2024, Marvel Rivals quickly gained popularity, amassing an impressive 10 million players within just three days. By mid-December, player numbers had doubled, showcasing the game’s rapid ascent in the hero shooter genre.
Featuring designs inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and deep cuts from the comic books, skins have become a significant draw for the game. Standout examples include Hawkeye‘s “Galactic Fangs” and Hela‘s iconic appearance. While these enticing skins generate buzz, the $20 price tag has drawn mixed reactions from gamers. Nonetheless, many fans eagerly unlock these iconic looks for their favorite characters.
Unveiling Sue Storm’s Dark Alter Ego
The Malice skin delves into the darker aspects of Invisible Woman, a character whose alter ego first emerged in Fantastic Four (1961) #280. This transformation is spurred by the manipulative actions of Psycho-Man, who twists Susan Richards’ character into the “Mistress of Hate.”
Marvel Rivals ignited excitement on social media with a dramatic announcement: “Embrace the Mistress of Hate. Behold Malice, the dark side of Invisible Woman, as she wields the raw power and unchecked fury unleashed by her transformation. Claim Malice and dominate the battlefield. Available January 10th!”

This striking skin showcases Malice’s signature black attire, drawing inspiration from both Scarlet Witch and Psylocke, yet revealing more than the traditional Fantastic Four uniform. Malice represents unrestrained fury, allowing Sue to transform her iconic force fields into lethal weapons.
Fans are expressing tremendous enthusiasm for the skin. Comments like, “I NEED THIS WeIN SO BAD,” and “Her origin is pretty sad, but the costume just looks 👌. Truly doing everything right.” illustrate the excitement surrounding Malice. The overwhelming consensus? She embodies the essence of a true baddie.
Launching the Marvel Rivals Season 1 with Malice is a bold move. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman will grace the battlefield in January, while The Thing and Human Torch are set to arrive in February. Until then, players will need to prepare for the chaos that Malice will bring to every match.
Get ready to suit up and confront Sue Storm’s darker side when Season 1 premieres this Friday.
