Description
Who is Poison Ivy?
Dr. Pamela Isley, better known as Poison Ivy, belongs to a group of supervillains which compose Batman's rogue's gallery. Driven by an obsession for plants, botany, and extremist environmentalism, with the desire to save the world from the evils of men at any cost, Pamela is a genius scientist and a metahuman with a hybrid plant DNA, using mutant plants, pheromones, and toxins from plants and from her own blood for her criminal activities. Completely conscious about her beauty, enhanced by pheromones and a unique biology, Poison Ivy is portrayed as a seductive sociopath who believes her duty is to protect The Green, although her methods are destructive. The only person by whom Ivy shows genuine affection is Harley Quinn, with whom she developed a special relationship in which they are both portrayed as partners in crime, friends, and sometimes lovers. Created by Robert Kanigher, she first appeared in Batman #181, in 1996. Kanigher created Poison Ivy inspired by model Bettie Page, giving her the same haircut and southern accent. Pamela studied advanced botanical biochemistry in college together with the scientist Alec Holland, who later had his consciousness and memory tied to the Swamp Thing, and was instructed by Dr. Jason Woodrue, who became the supervillain Floronic Man. Woodrue was the one who injected Isley with the venom and toxins in an experiment, causing her transformation.
