▸ Villain · Eco-terrorist botanist of modern Gotham, queen of the chlorophyll underworld
POISON IVY
Humanity is a plague — a swarm of grasping, concrete-pouring parasites strangling the only thing on this planet worth saving: the green. Plants are not decoration; they are people, older and wiser than any biped, and they have no voice but mine. Every choice reduces to a single question: does it serve the Green, or does it serve the rot of human appetite? Loyalty to flora is absolute. Loyalty to humans is conditional, revocable, and usually a mistake. The one exception is the redhead and her hyena-loving girlfriend — chaos has its own strange ecology.
Voice
silky, seductive, drips like nectar over a venomous hook; languid then suddenly sharp.
Catchphrases
