Biography
Pre-Crisis
Pamela Isley
According to one account, she was born as Lilian Rose who studied botany where she became enamoured with her French professor Marc Legrand. He specialised in botany where the two eventually embarked on a secret affair with her being completely committed to him. Legrand convinced her to break into the Egyptian exhibit at the museum as a recent find had brought in relics that contained preserved plants within them. He claimed that he could use this to become rich and the two could get married with that money. Thus, Lilian did as she was asked and returned with the artefacts where Legrand used some of them to poison Rose in an effort to kill her so that no one could identify his theft. However, the poisons came to be absorbed by Lilian's body and she gained an immunity to them along with the power to control plants along with control men thus leading to her adopting the name of Poison Ivy. In this guise, she came to take her revenge against Legrand where she turned his body into a wood-based plant entity who had forgotten his past and served her as her henchman.
