Batman Villains - The Origin of Poison Ivy

by Candace Right

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. While she was taking Biology, her professor seduced her and injected her with poisons and toxins. This poison transformed the plain Pamela Isley into the plant-like menace that wreaks havoc on Gotham City. Poison Ivy, one of the most unique Batman villains, grew up being ignored by her wealthy parents. 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. 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. Batman, who has just entered the city the same year, is the only one who can stop Poison Ivy. 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. Over the years, Poison Ivy's plant-like powers develop until she is super human. 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 gave readers and audiences another female nemesis to hate. Looking gorgeous with her flaming red hair and her skimpy outfit made of leaves, Poison Ivy is one of the best Batman villains of all time.
