About this ebook

GOTHAM’S DEADLIEST BEAUTY Poison Ivy was once Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley, a young woman with a unique fascination with botany and toxicology. But then she was seduced and later experimented on by her mentor, Professor Jason Woodrue, also known as the super-villain Floronic Man. Now a constant thorn in Batman’s side, Poison Ivy uses the toxins in her bloodstream to make her touch fatal to whomever she chooses, giving her the ability to create pheromones that make men her slaves while she stops at nothing to ensure plant life will retake Earth.

Ratings and reviews

I love most of the villains from Batman's universe. Each of them has their own excellent origin story, but one of my all-time favorites is Pamela Lilian Isley. She's the best among many and quite unique in her own way as supervillain. This book contains all about her highlights from different multiverse of DC we all know and love. I enjoy it from start to finish and worth to add as a collection of Batman's stories.
