Weaknesses. Although Poison Ivy has a range of superpowers that she uses in her eco-terrorist plots, she's far from invulnerable, and some of her weaknesses are just as fascinating as her abilities.
It has finally happened! Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are officially a couple, because love is love — even in comic books. In the new DC Comic's: Bombshells #79, the classic Batman series characters are finally declaring their love, and it couldn't be more beautiful.
Poison Ivy's origin is depicted in Neil Gaiman's short story "Pavane" (Secret Origins #36, 1988), during which she declares herself to be nature's daughter and the world's rightful ruler; it is later revealed that her powers were gifted to her by the environmental force known as the Green.
Poison Ivy is 21 years old. Her birthday is on December 4, 2001.
Doctor Pamela Isley is some 40 years older than Harley in publication history, but the two have enjoyed a relationship on any number of levels throughout the 25 years that the Clown Princess of Crime has been smashing hearts with her synonymous mallet.
Although it's not native, poison ivy has spread far and wide across the Australian landscape, touching Australians in the most unpleasant of ways. Contact with the poisonous plant is known to cause red, swollen skin, blisters, and severe itching.
Given what we know about the character, despite story nomenclature, the killer kiss is more accurately described as poisonous, not venomous. Regardless, the result is the same. Contact with Ivy's lips delivers a toxin capable of killing the recipient.
Poison Ivy is depicted as being a seductive temptress who is fully aware of her beauty and will use it to get what she wants, aided by the pheromones her unique biology provides for her.
Mental instability: Due to Poison Ivy's obsession with plants, when she thinks that they are being threatened, she becomes unstable, destructive, and filled with rage. She is willing to save her plants at all costs, even if she has to surrender to Batman or ask for his help.
Toxic Immunity: Poison Ivy gave Harley a serum that made her immune to the toxins that surrounded their base.
No matter how many plants Ivy throws at him, Thanos will likely keep coming. Furthermore, if Thanos were to wield the Gauntlet during a fight, there is no question that Ivy would be facing defeat, proving that the Mad Titan is easily one of the most powerful beings in the entire Marvel universe.
As one of the most powerful heroes in the DC Universe (and all comics), Superman has taken on evil gods, reality warpers, and some of the smartest and most dangerous people on the planet, but surprisingly Poison Ivy is the one villain who is shown to consistently be able to beat the Man of Steel with no issue.
Luckily, she did not kill the co-worker she hooked up with, but that was overshadowed by the fact that she cheated on Harley with her (which this comic confirms was cheating, as Harley and Ivy are confirmed to still be “girlfriends”).
Poison Ivy Saves Harley From The Joker And Gives Her Immunity To Toxins. Poison Ivy hates all humans because they have hurt her and they have contaminated the world.

Perhaps the most famously lethal on our list is Atropa belladonna, the aptly named Deadly Nightshade. This toxic plant belongs to the same family as tomatoes, potatoes and aubergines, and can be found across Europe, including in Britain, as well as North Africa, Western Asia and some parts of the USA and Canada.
Don't let the word “poison” scare you too much. We're talking about poison ivy, oak, and sumac — they most likely will not cause any serious or permanent harm. However, urushiol — an oil found in these plants — can cause itchy, blistering rashes, which are often very uncomfortable.
Background. Poison Ivy, aka Pamela Iseley, came from an abusive home. Her father beat her mother every night until one night he killed her, hiding the body in the garden. He was later arrested for her murder.
Weakness: A lack of sunlight will progressively weaken Poison Ivy's powers as she is a human-plant hybrid. Perhaps even more important, however, is her mental instability. When Poison Ivy became a supervillain, she was driven insane and is often portrayed as a mad genius.
