Fictional character biography

A member of the junior Female Furies, Malice is an insane girl that controls a shadow demon called Chessure.[1] Niece of Virman Vundabar, Malice and the other junior Furies played a game to see who could kill the most humans on Earth. During one of their games, they came across the superheroes Hawk and Dove. Malice won the game by killing a college wrestler in a super hero costume. She participated in several missions and is noteworthy for her bratty, yet cynical personality. Most often, she feigns being a helpless little girl, and then summons Chessure to attack. It was also hinted that her older brother was physically abusive towards her until she became a member of the Furies.

She’s an alien (but looks human) and her family is crazy rich and powerful, she’s interning with Harley’s gang for college credit. The only thing she cares about is her demonic shadow cat named Chessure that she carries around in her designer purse. It’s a friend and fashion item and it destroys everything it sees."[2]
