Yes he created Malice which was Sue under the influence of Psycho-Man. He didn't put her in that costume though.


Right! For me that Malice costume was even worse. Plus it was so lazy after Dark Phoenix and crazy Scarlet Witch. We should consider ourselves lucky that She-Hulk & Wonder Woman escaped the same fate.
You're talking about three storylines spread over about 6 or 7 years. I don't think DP or SW had costumes anything like that of Malice. Just remembered the other thing about the first Sue/Malice storyline was that the rest of the FF weren't supposed to know who she was so she had to look very different. Also it showed how powerful she was, something Byrne did a lot. She'd been a sreaming cipher for a lot of the previous 20 years.

  

I don't disagree.  For me, the crazy Scarlet With & crazy Invisible Woman seemed too similar.  Plus it always felt very out of character for Sue Storm to act like that especially compared to Wanda who is Magneto's daughter and a former criminal.  And it's a matter of perspective.  The same storyline, featuring classic Lee/Kirby women transformed into insanely powerful crazy women in (for me) a relatively short period felt lazy and exploitative.
