Poison Ivy is one of the most sultry of Batman villains. Poison Ivy: It's sad that Pamela Isley, or Poison Ivy, became the way she did because of experiments. She was a biology student and was seduced and injected with poisons by her science professor. This caused Poison Ivy to transform into a plant-like menace to society. 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. All of these events set the stage for Pamela Isley to transform into Poison Ivy. During this time, she moves to Gotham City from Seattle. She starts out by threatening the city with toxic spores unless they do what she wants. 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 quickly puts a stop to her rampage and Poison Ivy gets put into a mental institution for insane criminals. Poison Ivy's plant powers develop throughout the years until she becomes a super villain. Her lips are poison so she uses this as one of her greatest weapons. She can literally give her enemies a 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 was the answer because it gave the readers a new female super villain 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.
