Contact with Ivy's lips delivers a toxin capable of killing the recipient. Such a result is not unheard of in the animal kingdom. In fact, a few dozen children took ill due to kissing frogs after the release of Disney's The Princess and the Frog.
Evil has never been so seductive as it is in the form of Poison Ivy, who uses her own natural pheromones to control whomever she wants.
Although she was initially hesitant she agreed that she would help after Hush promised to let her have some of the ransom money. Soon after her deal with Hush Ivy found Catwoman to steal the money for her and forcefully kisses her to keep her under control.
Poison Ivy and Harley's romance has been brought to life in multiple multimedia adaptations of the DCU.
After years of teasing near-kisses and saucy entendres in their ongoing Harley Quinn comics since 2014, Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti and issue artist Chad Hardin finally had Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn kiss each other on panel for the first time, in continuity.
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. Such a result is not unheard of in the animal kingdom.
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”).
Ivy's emotional instability, aggressive and impulsive behavior, and volatile relationship history (such as her on-again, off-again friendship with Harley Quinn and even her efforts to lure Batman into a deadly kiss) offer hints of a borderline personality disorder — while her exploitative tendencies, habit of holding ...
Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy):
Bruce and Pamela had a brief but genuine romantic relationship after he helped to cure her of her condition, but this came to an end when Pamela seemingly died in an attempt to turn herself back into Poison Ivy.
Dr. Pamela Isley (aka Poison Ivy) is the deuteragonist of the DC Universe's animated Harley Quinn franchise. She is Harley Quinn's best friend, eventual girlfriend, and fellow Arkham Asylum escapee.
The marriage between Harley Quinn and Ivy had previously been alluded to (along with Harley's daughter) in prior Injustice storylines.
Poison Ivy's ex-girlfriend Bella Garten, also known as the Gardener, makes an unexpected reappearance at the end of DC's Harley Quinn: The Animated Series - Legion of Bats #1.
One of its major themes has been Ivy's relationship with Harley Quinn. By focusing so much on one of the most prominent queer relationships in comics, Poison Ivy has become a standout example of LGBTQ representation. The award is just the latest mark of popularity for the series.
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.
Poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac release an oil, urushiol, when the leaf or other plant parts are bruised, damaged, or burned. When the oil gets on the skin an allergic reaction, referred to as contact dermatitis, occurs in most exposed people as an itchy red rash with bumps or blisters.
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.
Urushiol rash can quickly expand to other areas of your body and leave a scar if you scratch affected areas. Itching or breaking open blisters can also lead to infection from the bacteria on your hands. Poison ivy blisters can break naturally, but the fluid in the blisters won't cause the rash to spread.
The first is the Joker who, with his influence, led Harley into the tumultuous world of villainy, changing her life forever. The other is Poison Ivy, a bond that started as a close friendship before blossoming into a relationship Harley Quinn found genuine love and appreciation in.
The Joker does not reciprocate her love and is in fact incapable of romantic emotion as he sees people only as tools to further his own plans. Harley is in denial of this fact and prefers to view him as an antihero until she eventually has to come face-to-face with his complete disregard for her.
During one of their visits, she drew a heart on the outside of the glass during their phone call. Readers find out in Batman: Beyond the White Knight No. 2 that their connection was romantic. Harley and Bruce Wayne are married.
Combine this with the fact that during the bachelorette party, Harley and Ivy repeatedly have drunk sex that they both deny means anything deeper, it goes to show how even before either of them were ready to admit their true feelings for each other, there was always a raw connection between them.
Toxic Immunity: Poison Ivy gave Harley a serum that made her immune to the toxins that surrounded their base.
They have affectionate nicknames for each other, with Ivy calling her "peanut," and Harley giving her gal a peck under the mistletoe or as she calls it "the kisstletoe." This signifies they're more than just besties, especially as Ivy is adamant about the "no exes" rule.
