Maligna (KillGames)

Maligna is a character created by . She made her debut in KillGames, appearing as a major antagoinist.
==Appearence==
In her Normal Form, Maligna has green hair. She wears a green and gray hooded jumpsuit, along with a gas mask that covers her face, hiding her true form. Bands around her arms and legs hold the canisters that she uses as weapons. Syringes are attached to the belt along her waist.
Her true form, known as Meltdown Maligna, possesses dark-green skin. This skin is shown to be malleable, and is a result of her being in a state of mutation for so long. She possesses massive claws and spikes (which she can retract when in her normal form) . Her gas mask is seen behind her head, and the band that holds the mask is seen covering part of her head.
In KillGames: Rechained, she gained a substantial redesign. Her gas mask was reduced to a face mask, her jumpsuit was changed to a dark blue color with neon green highlights, now possessing large gloves and boots. Her skin is now lighter, while her hair is a darker shade of green, and is more unkept. Because the mask is smaller, we get to see part of Maligna's face, and while the right side of her face is pretty normal, her left side (which is covered up by her hair) is covered in smaller eyes and insect parts. Her mouth is also horribly disfigured, appearing as if it was cut open.
==Personality==
Maligna cares about one thing, finding the "ultimate mutagen". Her ambition and obsession toward the idea makes her hellbent on testing it out and seeing its effects. She has no care for human life, seeing everyone as a test subject, and disposing of them when they don't give her data she wants.
==Story==
===Backstory===
Maligna is a scientist and one of the largest mutagen producers in Neo York City. Maligna is obsessed with creating the most powerful mutagens possible, the research taking a toll on her body and putting her into a permanently mutated state. Believing she has found a way to find the "perfect mutagen" she joins the KillGames in order to take it for herself.
===KillGames===
Maligna appears as a major antagonist in Storm's Story. First appearing in Chapter 4, she seeks to obtain a powerful crystal in order to create the "perfect mutagen". Managing to obtain it when Storm gives her the crystal, she forcefully mutates Shine before running away, leaving them to die.
Maligna later appears in the Final Chapter, working alongside Soul in order to destroy the heroes. She hands Soul the perfect mutagen, transforming her into an incredibly powerful mutant. After her death, she attempts to kill the main group herself, managing to chop Redge's arm off. She tries to use the perfect mutagen on herself, but gets a claw through her chest from Shine. She is dragged straight into Hell, getting Sharkman's turbine hammer bashed into her head, killing her.
==Abilities==
Maligna is well-known for her ability to develop and create mutagens, which are used by many competitors in the KillGames (specifically Diablo). Her main weapons are canisters of mutagens that are strapped to her arms and legs. When she punches or kicks, she can release these mutagens to create powerful explosions. She can also use the syringes on her waist as weapons, injecting enemies with a mutagen.
Meltdown Maligna possesses the ability to generate mutagens from her body, which replace her weapons when she is in this form. She can use her spikes and claws as deadly weapons.
In KillGames: Rechained, rather than her mutagens, Maligna is now capable of transforming parts her body into the parts of other insects. She is also capable of summoning them out of her body, using them to perform various combos.

==Trivia==
*Maligna is inspired by Toxic from Lethal League Blaze, though her new design takes inspiration from Viper, a character from Valorant.
*Her new powerset in the reboot was made partly because the creators felt her previous style (a close-ranged brawler) was unfitting for her character. With the creators' wish to not use characters from KillGames 2, they decided to give her an insect-focused moveset so she can serve as a replacement for Weevil.
