Character Information
Name : Pamela Isley / Poison Ivy.
Age : 27.
Fandom: DC Comics. 
Job : anything working with plants; preferably a herbologist. She’s also a villain.
Point in Fandom Taken From: After Harley runs back to Mister J; After Gotham Sirens.
Brief History: Here.
List of Abilities/Powers: 
The dangerous experiments placed a deliberate overdose of plant and animal based toxins into her blood stream that make her touch deadly and allowed her to boost her immunity to all poisons, viruses, bacteria, and fungi. This immunity also includes Joker venom. Some comics have even gone so far as to depict her as more plant than human, breathing CO2 and requiring sunlight to survive. Despite retaining in her earlier appearances her Caucasian, red-haired appearance, in time the amount of vegetable toxins and chlorophyll in her tissue tinted her skin permanently green. After years of practice she regained the ability to consciously control her appearance, restoring herself to an almost fully human facade, with only her lips and eyes tinted a bright shade of green.

Ivy's body produces pheromones that make people susceptible to mind control around her, although strong-minded people like Batman are usually capable of resisting. She was even once able to control Superman with the use of kryptonite.
She specializes in hybrids and can create the most potently powerful floral toxins in Gotham City. Often these toxins are secreted from her lips and administered in her preferred way, a poisonous kiss, usually after professing false love or affection for her victim. They come in a number of varieties, from mind-controlling drugs to instantly fatal toxins.

In some adaptations, she can control plants with her mind. For example, while in Arkham, she is able to manipulate and animate plants, using roots to form supports for a tunnel she and another inmate named Magpie are digging to escape, and also spawning glowing fungi to entertain Magpie.
Poison Ivy is identified by the Swamp Thing as a being with an elemental mystical component, whom he calls the "May Queen". Writers have not referred to her in this way in quite some time. Ivy also shows capabilities of using the Green to communicate over great distances, as she manifests in a vase of roses in Zatanna's dressing room to talk to the magician.

Poison Ivy carries, on her current costume, a certain amount of live vines: coupled with her natural ability to commune with plant life, they act as weaponry, or defensive/grabbing appendages. Their supply is, however, limited.

Ivy's capabilities were greatly reduced in Batman: The Animated Series; her only physical power is an immunity to poison. Her deadly kiss was only possible with a special lipstick poisoned with toxins extracted from a plant. She admits to having a "hyperactive immune system" which prevents her from having children. In The Batman, she can even exhale mind-controlling spores in the form of a blown kiss.

PB: Christina Hendricks.

Writing Sample : Ivy had been busy at work returning to Gotham and revamping her old lair- She'd taken over a townhouse close to the major park the previous tennact still sat on the couch where she'd met him- drugged up and zombie looking- but he'd provided her with enough money and a secure hideout to stay under the radar until she was situated. Now? Now she had a mansion that she planned to transform Into a giant greenhouse but her funds had been limited. Not anymore, She was 50 million dollars richer- and that was more than enough for her renovating. But her babies had warned her of someone being on her tail- trying to ruin her plans; No. Not today- She closed her eyes and focused- the trees telling her exactly where these two were. Two large vines sprung out of the grates in the road right in front of the heroes... or imbeciles. Another two surfaced behind them.
