Poison Ivy (Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley) is a DC Comics supervillain and is primarily an enemy of Batman. Created by Robert Kanigher, she first appeared in Batman #181 (June 1966).
In the series Gotham Girls, Poison Ivy deemed herself as one of "the world's most prominent eco-terrorists." She is obsessed with plants, botany and environmentalism. She utilizes toxins from plants and her own bloodstream for her criminal activities, which are usually aimed at protecting the natural environment. She has created love potions that have ensnared Batman, Superman and other strong-willed individuals. She is somewhat misanthropic and at times she has even mentioned that she would like a world solely ruled by plants. Fellow villain Harley Quinn is her recurring partner-in-crime and potentially only human friend.
Originally modeled after pin-up girl Betty Page, Ivy is a manipulative, red-haired seductress. Sometimes she is dressed in her a form-fitting green costume. Other times she is seen in minimal attire composed of leaves. She is most often depicted barefoot. Her skin is sometimes a snow-white alabaster, but in more-recent appearances she has had a soft-green hue.
