Poison Ivy Character Guide
Character Profile
“I have no more friends, all I have is the green.” – Poison Ivy
Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley, a botanist from Seattle, was experimented on by her professor, Dr. Jason Woodrue. The experiments placed toxins in her bloodstream that gave her a toxic touch and an immunity to all poisons, viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The experiments also granted her the ability to produce mind-control pheromones that allowed her to control men. Enraged at his betrayal, Pamela suffered violent mood swings. Following the death of her boyfriend, Isley dropped out of school and left Seattle, eventually settling down in Gotham City, where she became known by the public as Poison Ivy and clashed frequently with Batman.
