What is this thing? The entity known as Malice has possessed the bodies of Alison Blaire (the Dazzler), Wolverine, Rogue, Ororo (Storm), Lorna Dane (Polaris), Beatrice Conners, Alex Summers (Havok), and Sue Richards (the Invisible Woman). The Sue Richards' version of Malice appears to be a psychological manifestation of Sue's own dark side left over from the Infinity Wars; in any case, it is not the mutant of the same name that dogs the X-Folks.
First appearance: Well, something named Malice showed up in Jungle Action 8.
Died in: The mutant Malice was caught with no where to go in X-Factor 105. The alternate personality Malice...well, those alternate personalities never really die, do they?
Team affiliation: When in league with Mister Sinister, Malice was partial to Polaris of X-Factor (Uncanny X-Men 221-222) although left on her own she tried to destroy Polaris rather than be permanently tied to her (X-Factor 102-105). The Invisible Woman attempted to integrate Malice into her own personality (Fantastic Four 368), which made her very cranky for a considerable period of time.
Powers: Malice is a strongly empathic entity with no known corporal form. She specializes in disrupting the emotional center of the brain, emphasizing the emotions at the expense of rational thought. (This, incidentally, works for both versions of Malice...)
A quote, the mutant Malice: "Let's not do anything rash, shall we? Although I'm dying to see what a point-blank plasma blast to the temple would look like..." (Malice threatening to use the possessed Havok as a murder weapon, X-Factor 104).
A quote, the alternate personality Malice: "Repression can be extremely hazardous to a delicate psyche -- but you've never been as delicate as you appear!" (Fantastic Four 365)
