Poison Ivy ( Batman animated series)
NSFW
Villain
Female
Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley was a botanist who led a secret life as the eco-terrorist Poison Ivy. In contrast to the majority of Batman's foes, Ivy had little interest in money or power, but instead was obsessed with preserving plant life, and taking revenge against those who she believed had harmed it. Her ruthless methods frequently landed her in Arkham Asylum.
Holding a PhD in botany from Gotham University, Pamela Isley was once employed at Chez Gerard, a cosmetics firm, as an examination chemist in charge of developing new fragrances. She also offered a weekly oration series at the university on rare and extinct plant species. She always attempted to protect plants from humans and saved a specimen of a rare flower before the land they grew on was used to build Stonegate Penitentiary.
Poison Ivy has a unique genetic immunity from all forms of poisons and toxins, including Joker Venom. Ironically, however, in exchange for this immunity, she admits she is infertile.
Ivy is also a chemist. Combined with her botanical background, Ivy frequently concocts poisons, toxins, and serums designed to kill, transform, or protect, depending on her purpose and needs.
Throughout her criminal career, she also had the ability to secrete potent pheromones that could make her (or her plant creatures) irresistible to men (notably Harvey Dent).
She is also a uniquely skilled plant geneticist, able to create large and semi-sentient plant creatures that act as her henchmen.
In personal combat, Ivy is a skilled gymnast and martial artist. Additionally, she carries a miniature repeater crossbow on her right wrist, which she typically uses as a last resort.
She also uses a pink car in her plights with the number plate: "ROSEBUD".
She lives at 69th Green Street Gotham City
Poison ivy also has hypnotic kisses.

Batman pays her a backhand compliment as a genius combined with a fanatic-a compliment she does not dispute.

Background Information
