Once a very intelligent botanist college student from Seattle, Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley knew just about everything there as to know about plants. Her downfall of being naïve, Pamela was seduced by her professor Dr. Jason Woodrue (Floronic Man) into experiments upon her, using his smooth seductive words of love. These experiments placed toxins in her blood stream that led to her touch being dealy and allow her to be immune to all poisons, viruses, bacteria and fungi. After the experiments she was allowed to produce mind-control pheromones that drove men in a frenzy at her touch. The experiments also made her unable to reproduce, allowing her to treat her plants as children, mothering them all every since.

Pamela was placed in a hospital for six months, after the experiments went wrong, allowing Woodrue to flee the authorities. Feeling betrayed, Pamela suffered many violent mood swings. Pamela dropped out of school after her boyfriend got into a car accident learning he was mysteriously suffering from massive fungal overgrowth. Leaving Seattle, she eventually settled in Gotham City.

When she arrived in Gotham, Pamela threatened to release her deadly spores into the air unless Gotham met her demands. This act caused her fame of becoming the infamous Poison Ivy. Appearing in Gotham that same year, Batman subdued and defeated her resulting in her incarceration in Arkham Asylum. As her sentence in Arkham went on her naïveté would fade as the hardness that comes with the criminal lifestyle. As the years went on she became more plant-like becoming a thorn in Batman’s side that would still remain to this day.

Poison Ivy would also become best friends with the Joker’s sidekick, Harley Quinn. Although in past villain team ups relationships have crumbled due to greed or incompatibility, Harley and Ivy have a genuinely rooted friendship. Ivy tries to save Harley from her abusive relationship with the Joker. She sympathizes with Harley as Harley is mistreated by the man she loves, just like Ivy was by Jason Woodrue.

Poison Ivy is currently teamed up with Harley Quinn and Catwoman, known as the Gotham City Sirens

And that folks is the sultry and seductive Poison Ivy. See you all next week
