The Story Behind The Mask
Her original persona as Pamela Isley was good. As a scientist studying plants, Isley’s research centered around venom and how plants may be able to use it for defense. Her life revolved around her work and it showed in her physical appearance. Isley was unattractive and lonely. When she discovered her employer, Dr. Woodrue, was using her research for evil, he tries to kill her with animal plant toxins.
After being left for dead, the poisons and toxins transform her into a beautiful red-headed vixen, Poison Ivy. Seeking revenge, she finds her would-be killer and kills him with a poisonous kiss.
Having been liberated from her former boring life, Poison Ivy makes her way to Gotham City where she encounters Bruce Wayne. It is here where her adventures begin and conflict erupts between her and Batman.
