Malevola Gibb, known as Malevola, is a prominent character in the 2025 interactive strategy game Dispatch, where she serves as a reformed half-demon superhero dispatched through the Superhero Dispatch Network. Standing at an imposing 6 feet 6.6 inches with red skin, pupil-less yellow eyes, curling demon horns, a prehensile tail, and long black hair, she possesses a muscular build accentuated by her casual attire of jean shorts over a white leotard and black heels. First introduced to players via a team file in the game’s early episodes and as a co-protagonist in the prequel comic The Last Bender, Malevola exhibits a level-headed and emotionally mature personality, marked by independence, sarcasm, and a playful enjoyment of her fearsome demonic appearance, while aspiring to be perceived as a benevolent figure despite her intimidating presence.

Prior to her heroic career, Malevola engaged in criminal activities including assault, burglary, extortion, and second-degree murder, stemming from her half-demon heritage and challenges in Australia before immigrating. As a true crime enthusiast and former narcotics sponsor to her close associate Sonar, she encountered persistent issues with cults worshiping her demonic form and longstanding grudges from groups like the Yachties. Seeking redemption, she discovered a recruitment flier for the Phoenix Program and proactively signed both herself and Sonar up, marking a pivotal transition from villainy; their last night involved celebratory crime and partying, leading to their hungover arrival at SDN headquarters as part of the Z-Team.

Throughout her tenure with the Z-Team, Malevola undergoes significant developments through dynamic team interactions, including physical altercations such as her fight with Invisigal that ultimately resolves amicably, reactions to team member cuts that reveal her loyalty particularly toward Sonar, and participation in high-stakes missions utilizing her abilities like portal creation, superhuman strength, and a magical greatsword. She engages in flirtatious and supportive relationships with the protagonist Robert Robertson, contributes to resolving crises involving threats like the Red Ring gang, and navigates office politics and personal growth, solidifying her role as a reliable yet irreverent hero committed to reformation and team success.
