Overview

The beautiful Poison Ivy is a fictional character that first appeared in the Batman comic book series. Making her video game debut in the hit Batman: Arkham Asylum, Poison Ivy is characterized in the game as a plant-human hybrid that was created via a scientific experiment that went horribly wrong. Originally working as a botanist under the name, Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley, Poison Ivy’s accident later encouraged her to pursue ecologically-focused crimes (“eco-terrorism”) to rid the world of pollution and human-encroachment on nature. As such, her actions often place her in direct contact with Batman, who always seems to foil her nefarious plots before they reach fruition. In Arkham Asylum, for example, Poison Ivy attempts to inflict her will on others by infecting Arkham Island with her mutated plants. After a prolonged battle, however, she is once again defeated by Batman.

Powers and Abilities

Regarding her natural abilities in Arkham Asylum, Poison Ivy possesses a wide array of powers and abilities that stem from her powerful connection to nature. Among her most notable powers are chlorokinesis, toxikinesis, as well as her ability to exert control over pheromones (allowing her to seduce both men and women to do whatever she wills. Toxikinesis, in particular, is perhaps her most powerful attribute, as it provides Poison Ivy the ability to kill an individual with a single touch or kiss. Following contact, her body unleashes a powerful set of animal and plant-based toxins that enter their bloodstream, resulting in paralysis and death. As such, it also grants her immunity to nearly any bacteria, toxin, or pathogen on the planet.

Augmenting this impressive array of abilities is Poison Ivy’s genius-level intelligence, as well as her proficiency in hand-to-hand combat. When combined with her natural speed and agility, she is an incredibly beautiful (but deadly) opponent to nearly any adversary that crosses her path.

Appearance

Throughout the Arkham video game series, it is clear that Poison Ivy was designed with sex appeal in mind. In the game, she is depicted in a highly-revealing outfit that showcases her large bust, natural cleavage, as well as her stunning hourglass figure. Very little is left to the viewer’s imagination, as the only thing covering her body is a cluster of small leaves that serve as “panties,” along with a loosely-buttoned top that exposes her torso. When combined with her red hair and seductive green eyes, it is not difficult to see why Poison Ivy is one of the sexiest video game characters of all time!
