Pretty Poison: Digging into Poison Ivy's life

Welcome to my second blog post! Hope you guys enjoy this one! I don't know this comic character as well as Harley Quinn, but I know a very good amount to write a blog about it! 

You are staring evil in it's green eyes, venom takes over you, you can't run, you have no where to hide, you thought they were innocent... Oh how you were dead wrong, paying the deadly price for your mistake. One touch and you are dead, you have met Poison Ivy.

Dr.Pamela Isley used to work with plants and experimented with them in hopes to make them strong enough to fight for themselves. When Pamela went to look for her boss, she found him doing illegal experiments on humans. So, to ensure she wouldn't talk, he injected her with venom in hopes of killing her. But instead, it turned her into a plant/human hybrid. She was stronger than ever. And she felt an odd connection with the plants, she believed that she needed to help the plants. So, she abandoned the humans, (probably forgetting she was a human too..) and went on to protect the plants.

This is a picture of Dr.Pamela Isley (left) before the toxin and then, after the toxin when she became Poison Ivy (right) from the movie Batman And Robin (Played by Uma Thurman)


   Poison Ivy is one of the most deadliest Batman villains (believe it or not), because of her deadly toxin. She has even said it herself, "I can put as much toxin in my hand to kill you right now." (Conversation between her and her psychiatrist Harleen Quinzel in Gotham City Sirens) She also has a lot of pheromones to seduce people into doing her bidding. Again, another quote says, "No one can resist me, man nor woman." (Conversation between her and Catwoman in Batman: HUSH) Sometimes, Poison Ivy could be staring you right in the eye and you wouldn't even know it. She is usually green by default, but, she can change her skin color entirely with enough patience and practice. 

This is Poison Ivy under the alias Dr.Irving. (From Gotham City Sirens: Song of The Sirens)

Poison Ivy never really had friends nor romantic relationships. I guess you could say she was cold hearted. She played along pretending to be in love with people until she could either kill them, or they are no longer relevant. The only friends she had was Selina Kyle (Catwoman) (Their friendship lasted a little bit, but they were always fighting) and Harleen Quinzel (Harley Quinn). She used people to get what she wanted, so she couldn't have a lot of friends. Even when working with other villains she never was nice, like when she used Bane and Mister Freeze.

Here is Poison Ivy (far left) with her two friends Catwoman (second to the right) and Harley Quinn (second to the left) and the other girl is Talia Ah Ghul (far right)

 In Batman: The Animated Series, it suggested that before Poison Ivy became a criminal she was Harvey Dent's (Two-Face before the accident) girlfriend. Harvey Dent was Bruce Wayne's (Batman's) best friend so naturally he had to meet Pamela. She was very nice and Batman thought so too. So it's obvious you can tell what he felt when she became Poison Ivy (wait- IMAGINE WHAT HARVEY FELT!!!).
