Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Poison Ivy (real name Pamela Isley) is a DC Comics supervillainess known to be one of Batman's main adversaries.Poison Ivy was created by Bob Kanigher in 1966 as a villainous Expy of Bettie Page, as well as a replacement villainess for Catwoman, who had graduated from an Anti-Villain into an Anti-Hero. She was also meant to be DC's take on the then-recent feminist movement, as she would be an independent villainess not tied to any other villain as their Baroness or lover. At her core, however, she is a Femme Fatale and one of the deadliest in all of comics.Her most consistent origin is that of a botanist named Dr. Pamela Isley who has an obsession/affinity for plants. Following some type of lab accident (which may or may not have been caused by corrupt supervisors/backers), she becomes the eco-terrorist known as Poison Ivy. Though she started out as a Badass Normal only using plants as her gimmick, due to several levels taken in badass and many Retcons, she has gained more and more powerful Green Thumb abilities over time, as well as pheromone powers and various forms of poisons and toxins (usually delivered by kisses). She is also sometimes revealed to be half plant herself. This makes her one of the rare Batman villains that has legitimate superpowers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })She, like Catwoman before her, has become more and more sympathetically portrayed as time goes on. Sometimes, Ivy's a love interest for Batman too, with several stories implying something deeper between them. On the other hand, she has gained a regular Love Interest in Harley Quinn, whose main portrayal is as the Joker's girlfriend and sidekick. In 2015, DC editorial confirmed that Ivy and Quinn are sexual partners, making them one of the most prominent same-sex couples in comics. Both women have also become affiliated with the Suicide Squad and the Birds of Prey, making them very ambiguous Heel Face Revolving Doors.In 2015, Poison Ivy received her first-ever self-titled comic, in the form of a limited series called Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death, which deals with a reformed Ivy trying her best to make a serious career as a scientist again.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

comment
The Sociopath: This is sometimes presented as more along the lines of wishful thinking on her part since she is shown to have the ability to genuinely care for others, such as the orphans she cared for, Harley, and her plants. However, this was her original characterization, running all the way through her appearances in Suicide Squad.

Stripperiffic: Played With. She doesn't wear clothes (usually), but when she does, she molds them into bikinis, leotards, lingerie, and other fetishwear. However, she also doesn't do physical fighting, so she can technically look however she wants while she goes about her business. Also, practical battle clothing would arguably take away from her seduction abilities.

Alternate Company Equivalent: She is DC's answer to Marvel's The Enchantress as they are both Femme Fatale supervillains with seduction based mind-controlling powers that frequently flirt with their respective heroes. Hilariously enough, Marvel then made an equivalent to her in their popular Runaways series, named Klara Prast. As Klara is only in her preteens, she doesn't copy the sexual nature of Poison Ivy. Instead, she has Poison Ivy's power over plants.

Adaptational Villainy: On the flip side, she gets this treatment in Injustice 2; she's a lot colder and more aloof to Harley than usual, and even almost kills her with her pheromones without a hint of remorse. Additionally, her dialogue with Swamp Thing implies that she isn't even interested in protecting the Green - she just wants its power all to herself.

Defrosting Ice Queen: Upon meeting Harley, Ivy softened somewhat towards humans, but still manages to be quite strict whenever Harley screws up her plans. Which is frequently. In the New 52 Birds of Prey, she is completely unapologetic for her murderous crimes in the past, but is willing to assist Black Canary and company and work as a team. Even if she does mutter complaints along the way.

 Poison Ivy (Comic Book) / int_2a973d16
comment
Women Prefer Strong Men: Played With. Ivy has definitely shown interest in, say, Batman or Nightwing, whom she considers attractive and not that bad compared to most men. Further, she tends to go for the biggest, strongest man around when looking for a new Slave Mook, such as the times she immediately planted a kiss on the lips of Superman and then over in WF3: World's Finest Three Superboy when she faces off against him and Robin. How actually interested she is in them sexually is debatable, however.

Create Your Own Villain
 Poison Ivy (Comic Book) / int_326a44a1
comment
Create Your Own Villain: A rare example of a villain creating another, hostile-to-them, villain. Ivy herself is usually the creation of a pre-mutation Floronic Man, a minor DC villain with Swamp Thing style powers. However, the Floronic Man (Jason Woodrue) was not villain when he experimented on Ivy. One post-90s storyline involves a Man-Eating Plant she overused for assorted petty reasons developing sapience and becoming Harvest, which yearns to kill her.

Antagonist Abilities: Ivy is typically a pushover if you can actually get in a solid blow on her. The problem is getting past her plant mooks, resisting her Glamour and Mind Manipulation powers, and not letting her poison you. If you can get past all of that, she can't put up much of a fight. But that's a big "if".

comment
A possible aversion appears in another example: when Harley pointed out that some of her plants (such as vines as strong—or stronger—than steel beams or organisms that produce light) could help humanity, Ivy bitterly responded: "I don't do that, Harley. I don't save people. I'm poison, remember?" It's implied that given the opportunity, she would like to use her plants for good (or at least legal monetary gain), but people don't expect her to, so she doesn't.

Adaptational Heroism: She gets hit with this in a few continuities: Batman: Arkham Series: She's portrayed as being more focused on protecting her plants than going on eco-terrorist sprees, and refuses to team up with other villains. In Arkham Knight, she even helps Batman save Gotham from Scarecrow's Cloudburst, though doing so costs her her life. DC Super Hero Girls: She's portrayed as an adorably dorky straight-up superhero. DC Comics Bombshells: She only ever uses her powers against the German hierarchy.

Villainous Crush: Depending on the Writer, she could have an attraction to Batman that ranges from either a minor attraction to either lust or genuine affection. While not at the same level as his relationship with Catwoman Batman could return her affection in some way, also depending on the writer. In one such issue, she mistook his saving her from death as proof he loves her, though he responds that she doesn't know the meaning of love.

Green Thumb: The quintessential plant-themed comic book character. How much power she has constantly changes, but at her full power, she's been shown capable of summoning, growing and manipulating entire forests to demolish city blocks. Neil Gaiman's origin links her to the Green, the elemental force connecting all plant life, and the idea's seen use since, particularly post-Flashpoint with Swamp Thing back in mainstream continuity.

Unholy Matrimony: With Clayface briefly in the New 52. It was just a ploy to keep him under her sway, and lasted almost no time at all. More sincerely and stably in the New 52 and Rebirth era with Harley Quinn — her genuine love for Harley is one of the most positive things about her.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Usually, her plants are her darlings and she'll even try to sacrifice her own life to save theirs. Later in her publication, she started treating Harley Quinn this way as well, as perhaps the only human being Ivy truly loves. Starting around Batman: No Man's Land, Ivy has also taken a protective stance toward children.

Shameless Fanservice Girl: Ivy does not give a crap about whether or not anyone approves of her sexiness or sexuality. She wears as much or as little clothing as she cares to. In fact, when she gains a new job as a scientist in her 2016 series, she makes it clear that the only reason she dresses professionally is so that she can prove she's serious about her fresh start. The second she gets home, off her clothes go.

Truly Single Parent: Some storylines demonstrate her ability to engineer fully functioning plant "children" that can almost pass as real humans. They rarely last long, however. In "No Man's Land", she creates a whole species of mutant plant people called "Feraks" and "Cycle of Life and Death" focuses on a group of children she grows and tries to protect.

Does Not Like Men

comment
Does Not Like Men: As part of her Straw Feminist motif, Ivy is typically portrayed as being disgusted by men. She finds them stupid, smelly, grotesque, ill-mannered, and easy to manipulate. The sole exceptions are Batman and a few other select males whom she feels aren't all bad. This depiction is falling by the wayside in favor of her Blue-and-Orange Morality covering plants. In all of her origin stories, a man royally screwed her over. Silver Age? Her lover and partner in crime betrays her and tries to poison her. Post Infinite Crisis? Her college professor and crush, Jason Woodrue (later the Floronic Man) experimented on her and turned her into an abomination against her will. New 52 dad? Straight up murdered her mom and buried her in their garden.

 Poison Ivy (Comic Book) / int_76d233f9
comment
Straw Feminist: She was initially created to be DC's answer to feminism back in 1966. She's a powerful, capable, intelligent and independent woman and refuses to play second-fiddle to a male partner. However, she is also a man-hating, tree-hugging (literally), sexually-manipulative villain who doesn't just not need men, but flat out wants them all dead. That's before we get into her lesbian relationship with Harley and passive-aggressive relationship with Batman.

Bisexual Love Triangle
 Poison Ivy (Comic Book) / int_85c4ebe0
comment
Bisexual Love Triangle: Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn's relationship has primarily been this way since they met in Batman: The Animated Series (though DC kept it as subtexty as possible for years). Harley is head-over-heels for her boyfriend, The Joker. The Joker is extremely physically and emotionally abusive but Harley always goes back to him in the end. Ivy on the other hand has feelings for Harley and the two have a much more stable relationship, but Depending on the Writer Harley is either oblivious, knows of Ivy's feeling but ignores her, or has flings with Ivy when she and the Joker are separate. Starting with the New 52 reboot, DC revamped Ivy and Harley's relationship to be more obviously romantic and requited. They're either Friends with Benefits or a non-monogamous couple.

Pre New 52 she was this for Harley, as no matter how close the two were Harley would always run back to the Joker when he came calling. Averted Post New 52 although, ironically, their relationship changed to be a open one, in which both girls are sexually available to other people.

Femme Fatale: With greater emphasis on the Fatale. Ivy doesn't like Man — and we mean that in regards to both the species and the gender. Thus, any sexual enticement or favors she offers are typically just manipulations to get a hapless dupe under her control. However, there are some men she has found worth her interest — primarily Batman, but occasionally other men who have proven to be sympathetic to her goals or more interesting than others.

Happiness in Mind Control: Her mind-control powers occasionally work this way. It's best seen in The Long Halloween, when Carmine Falcone hires Ivy to put Bruce Wayne under her spell and get him to agree to let Gotham Central Bank to launder Falcone's money (Wayne's on the board of directors and the lone holdout in keeping the gangster at bay). While enchanted, Bruce is essentially a passenger in his own mind, but he feels oddly content and calm while connected to "the Green."

Cut Lex Luthor a Check
 Poison Ivy (Comic Book) / int_9fbf8969
comment
Cut Lex Luthor a Check: In her "environmentalist" depiction, Poison Ivy's powers would allow her to influence people far more effectively and acceptably if she'd use them in a sensible fashion. It's generally justified that she fails to realize this because she's a Tautological Templar, who either doesn't understand that non-violence can be more effective at convincing people than violence or simply her demands are too unreasonable to be taken seriously. Averting this is at least attempted in "Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death", where she tries to market more legitimate eco-friendly creations of hers as opposed to her traditional methods of just running around turning people into plants or feeding them to mutant carnivorous trees. A possible aversion appears in another example: when Harley pointed out that some of her plants (such as vines as strong—or stronger—than steel beams or organisms that produce light) could help humanity, Ivy bitterly responded: "I don't do that, Harley. I don't save people. I'm poison, remember?" It's implied that given the opportunity, she would like to use her plants for good (or at least legal monetary gain), but people don't expect her to, so she doesn't.

 Poison Ivy (Comic Book) / int_b032e4ed
comment
Ms. Fanservice: One of comics' major examples of the trope, and the single best example in all of the Bat-books. Ivy is a very beautiful woman who has a very voluptuous yet athletic body, impressive hour glass figure, buxom breasts, toned broad shoulders, and long toned yet shapely legs. She tends not to wear anything, other than leaves and vines (along with sexy outfits that she wears with green tights). In the New 52, she got a form-fitting outfit, but even that just amounts to plant spores and leaves hugging up on her body, though she went back to her normal green bathing suit-like outfit. Even when in battle, she usually speaks in a sultry tone, uses sexual innuendos, and takes stock Playboy Playmate poses while her plants fight for her.

Hide Your Lesbians: There was massive speculation and Flip-Flop of God regarding whether or not she and Harley Quinn were lovers as far back as their original Girls' Night Out Episode in The Animated Series. They were always considered a little bit too close for BFFs. In 2015, DC finally admitted to the relationship and has ran with it ever since.

Love Triangle: She loathes The Joker due to his abusive control and manipulation of Harley. She also hates the fact that his control over Harley is so tight that Harley is always unsure of herself or her own sanity and will often ditch Ivy to run back to her "Puddin'" in an instant. Ivy still cares for her regardless of this, though. Ironically, this means the two are less likely to try to kill each other than most of Batvillain rivals. Ivy wants Harley to leave Joker, and Ivy killing Joker would just drive Harley away. Joker, for his part, thinks it's funny that Ivy can't really touch him.

Tautological Templar

comment
Tautological Templar: This is her ongoing problem with convincing people to be more eco-friendly during her "enviro-terrorist" depictions; Pamela is either adamant that people adopt more "Green" technologies right now and uses violence to try and terrorize people into submitting, makes demands that are so unfairly slanted against human life that there's no way anybody can take her seriously, or both. A perfect example of the "makes unreasonable demands" aspect comes from Batman & Robin, where she responds to Bruce Wayne pointing out that her suggestions to have Wayne Enterprises cease "toxifying the environment" by abandoning the use of diesel fuel and coolants would cause the deaths of millions of people due to cold and hunger alone by bemusedly declaring that those deaths would be "acceptable losses" to protect the planet.

Ret-Canon: Her relationship with Harley started in the DCAU (specifically in Batman: The Animated Series) but became canon the moment Harley joined the comics universe. Ivy was originally just a sufficiently advanced botanist. These days, she's probably a plant elemental bound in human flesh. Additionally, she was mainly played as The Sociopath in the comics until the animated series gave her much more pronounced ecoterrorist motives.

comment
Hypocrite: In her "eco-terrorist" depiction. Ivy likes to complain about how she is "forced" to do the things she does because humanity won't listen to reason — when that same complaint can be leveled against Ivy herself! Also, it's kind of hypocritical that a woman who claims to want to protect plants from being exploited does so by... manipulating plants to grow in all manner of unnatural ways. Lampshaded in one of her possible pre-fight banter routines against Swamp Thing in Injustice 2: For all her disdain of humanity and hating using people, a large part of her motivation boils down to payback for her neglected childhood and heartbreak from her college professor, which is a very personal, selfish and petty driving force.

comment
Pheromones: Poison Ivy uses these to get men to do her bidding. Depending on the Writer, it can also work on women as well, especially if that woman is a lesbian or bisexual. Since she's a scientist, however, she's able to upgrade her abilities or develop new pheromones that compel a person regardless of sexual orientation or target. For instance, one concoction causes two men (who were previously shown to be attracted to women) to start making out with each other uncontrollably. Said pheromones are usually represented as green or pink squiggly lines, as the reader obviously can't smell them, although whether the people in-universe can see them or if it's just for the reader's benefit is often unclear.

Morality Pet: Her relationship with Harley is a deconstruction of this trope. Both she and Harley are villains, so neither of them are all that "moral" to begin with. However, Ivy will try and do good when it's for Harley's sake and vice-versa. Further, Ivy tries to help break the abusive control The Joker has over Harley, and Harley tries to convince "Red" that not all humans are so bad. At the same time, Ivy can be controlling and upset with Harley (though not to the abusive extent like the Joker does).

In short, she considers crimes in terms of their effect on nature, starting with plant life, then animals, with humanity on the lower scale. On the other hand, she targets men through seduction before killing them which doesn't advance her goals and seems to be more her way of venting out at being hurt by people (especially Jason Woodrue.)

Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful!: Tends to use her looks to do whatever she wants. In fact, this was her main gimmick (aside from plants) when she first debuted.

The Vamp: The current trope image. Started out as this, but eventually became an eco-terrorist. She still has shades of it though.

Powers Do the Fighting
 Poison Ivy (Comic Book) / int_ebaf3065
comment
Powers Do the Fighting: Ivy isn't a physical fighter. The only powers she directly uses against a person are her good looks, pheromones, and poisons against an enemy. Occasionally, she also can grow Combat Tentacles in the form of plant vines. Aside from that, her Man Eating Plants always do the dirty work for her while she stands around looking hot.

Boobs-and-Butt Pose: Ivy poses in one of these in almost every appearance. Partly justified in that she isn't completely human and that her powers work by seduction.

comment
Body of Bodies: Harvest is a creature of sentient vegetation used by Poison Ivy. It was created when a carnivorous plant that Poison Ivy fed her victims to absorbed the personas of the people it ate. In this form it was able to rapidly regenerate and transform itself into any plant-life it chose to, and would manifest itself with the faces and other physical characteristics of Ivy's victims across its surface. Harvest attempted to take revenge on Poison Ivy by attacking her inside Arkham Asylum although Batman intervened and protected her. Harvest was seemingly destroyed in this battle although Batman remarked that its regenerative abilities meant it could come back and attack again at any time

I Love You Because I Can't Control You: Ivy is used to her looks and pheromones getting people to do anything he wants. However, both Batman (due to his Heroic Willpower) and Harley (because she's crazy and immune) are exceptions and thus both have Ivy's affections.

Is she insane because of a lonely, neglected childhood? Was her turn to villainy the result of chemical and biological alterations affecting her mental stability or cognitive processes, with serious psychological consequences? is she driven by her history of being betrayed by men? Or is it some combination of all of the above plus some garden-variety sociopathy? Notably, Neil Gaiman gave her an origin that hints at all of these possibilities, but ultimately suggests the answer is unknowable. Later writers have chosen to emphasize particular angles or thrown in their own ideas.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: She wants to protect plants from the humans that abuse and massacre them. She'll go to any extremes to do this, and sees human life as meaningless by comparison.

Depending on the Writer
 Poison Ivy (Comic Book) / int_fdc4fab4
comment
Depending on the Writer: Sometimes she is an extremist eco-terrorist bent on protecting Mother Earth from the ravages of humanity; originally and just as often, she is just a glorified superhuman crook and seductress in it for the money. She's even occasionally shown concern for "innocent" human life, children especially, most famously in a particular issue of Gotham Central, and in Gotham City Sirens. Some more recent portrayals also verge on Humanoid Abomination, depicting her as a being who, while mostly human in appearance, is of completely alien and inhuman morality and thinks more like a sentient plant with a side of Hive Queen. Of all people, Paul Dini once wrote Ivy straight up cruel and unsympathetic. The story in question depicts her seducing random people (both men and women) off the street, taking them to her lair and feeding them to her carnivorous plants. On top of that, it shows Ivy enjoying and mocking the lengthy suffering of the victims being slowly digested by the plants. Batman was so disgusted by her actions that, for a brief moment, he entertained the idea of ending Pamela's life. Is she insane because of a lonely, neglected childhood? Was her turn to villainy the result of chemical and biological alterations affecting her mental stability or cognitive processes, with serious psychological consequences? is she driven by her history of being betrayed by men? Or is it some combination of all of the above plus some garden-variety sociopathy? Notably, Neil Gaiman gave her an origin that hints at all of these possibilities, but ultimately suggests the answer is unknowable. Later writers have chosen to emphasize particular angles or thrown in their own ideas. Gail Simone's second Batgirl Annual in the New 52 era offered the idea of Ivy suffering from an extreme form of Seasonal Affective Disorder, explaining her changes in personality and mood a result of the changing seasons.

Pet the Dog: Will occasionally demonstrate that she's not all bad, compared to the usual psychopaths Batman deals with. Most notably during the No Man's Land arc, where she took in several dozen orphans despite her grudge against humanity. Very Depending on the Writer, though.

Villainesses Want Heroes
 Poison Ivy (Comic Book) / int_ffa5e87d
comment
Villainesses Want Heroes: Ivy considers Batman "the perfect man" and wants him for herself. She also has a twisted interpretation of their relationship as Batman being her Knight in Shining Armor while she's locked up in Arkham, and at times has been frustrated and confused by why he would ever reject an offer to be with her forever. Going so far in a story to cause havoc on Gotham from her cell in Arkham, and relenting only when Batman visits and kisses her.
