Fictional character biography
Malice is a fictional character in the
. She is an evil mutant who is a member of Mister Sinister's Marauders. Being incorporeal, she has no physical body of her own and has to possess the body of others. Those she possesses manifest a cameo-like choker around their neck. It is unknown whether this is a physical artifact or an illusionary one. Malice was an adversary of the X-Men. Malice at one point became stuck in the body of Lorna Dane, an ally of the X-Men also known as Polaris (this affinity may suggest that Malice's true physical nature is that of an electromagnetic field). While possessing the body of Polaris, Malice acted as the field leader of the Marauders.
Malice was apparently destroyed by Sinister himself. However, she returns in X-Men #200, but this time as a digital entity instead of a psionic one, taking possession of Omega Sentinel via email virus.
Malice (split personality)
Malice is an evil psionic entity that resides in the mind of Invisible Woman and sometimes possesses her. It was originally believed to be a negative aspect of her own personality, awakened by the manipulations of the villain Psycho-Man.
