Who is Poison Ivy? The story and history of the super villainess enemy of Batman with a poisonous kiss

Poison Ivy first appeared on the scene in June 1966 in a DC Comics Batman edition and was the creation of Robert Kanigher and Sheldon Moldoff. She soon established herself as a super villainess in her striking green plant-like Poison Ivy costume.

Poison Ivy’s real name is Pamela Lillian Isley who was an attractive and gifted botanist in Seattle who was seduced by a criminal called Marc LeGrande, who enticed her to help him steal an Egyptian artifact which contained an ancient herb. He later poisoned her with the herb but she survived and developed an immunity to toxins and many diseases.

The lady in the tight green costume soon becomes obsessed with botany, the environment and plantlife and her devotion to protecting nature becomes the motivation behind her crimes. Poison Ivy discovers that she is immune to many plant-based hypnotic toxins and she sets about using them to control those around her, mainly men who she entices into doing as she demands.

When Poison Ivy moves to Gotham City she encounters the city’s main crime fighter Batman and on their first meeting she almost seduced him into being here partner in crime. The rise of the feminist movement in the sixties meant the DC Comics team needed to create a new strong female character to rival Catwoman, who had become a less strong-willed enemy of Batman.

The captivating character of Poison Ivy - who can kill with her kiss of poison - has made the beautiful temptress an obvious choice for anyone wanting to make a dazzling appearance at a fancy dress party - and the Poison Ivy costume has become one of the most popular outfits on sale these days, especially after world famous actress Uma Thurman took on her role in the 1997 Batman and Robin movie, directed by Joel Schumacher.
