Poison Ivy is one of the most sultry of Batman villains. Poison Ivy: Experiments turned Pamela Isley into the Poison Ivy we know today. She was a biology student and was seduced and injected with poisons by her science professor. This poison transformed the plain Pamela Isley into the plant-like menace that wreaks havoc on Gotham City. One of the Batman villains, Poison Ivy started out as a wealthy girl with parents who could care less. When she grew up, Poison Ivy dropped out of school after her boyfriend suddenly passed away. She is gradually changing from Pamela Isley to Poison Ivy. Moving from Seattle to Gotham City, Poison Ivy threatens the city with toxic spores unless they meet her demands. Thankfully Batman came to Gotham City that same year and was able to stop Poision Ivy's evil plot. She is one of the Batman villains that uses her potions to make other super heroes fall in love with her. Batman stops her from hurting the city, and Poison Ivy gets locked inside a mental institution for the criminally insane. Poison Ivy's plant powers develop throughout the years until she becomes a super villain. One of her weapons is the fact that her lips are poison, so she is the only one of the Batman villains who can literally give the kiss of death. Poison Ivy was introduced in the Batman comics for a better female villain when people began to identify with Catwoman, and even sympathize with her. Poison Ivy gave readers and audiences another female nemesis to hate. Clothed in leaves, with flaming flower bedecked red hair, Poison Ivy was one of the greatest Batman villains that the masked super hero ever had.
