Ivy "Pamela" Pepper is a criminal and eco-terrorist in Gotham who has poisonous powers.
History[]
After her mother committed suicide sometime after her father's death, Ivy is adopted by a foster family and renamed Pamela, but runs away from their home and lives on the streets while maintaining contact with Selina Kyle. Like Selina Kyle, Ivy Pepper has befriended Barbara Kean.
Ivy later works for Sonny Gilzean where she grows his "magic mushrooms" to sell on the streets.
After an encounter with a Bruce Wayne look-a-like, Ivy gets caught by Fish Mooney's minion Nancy while trying to warn Selina. After Selina fails to vouch for her, Ivy is then chased by Fish Mooney's minion Marv. After being briefly touched by Marv, Ivy falls into the drain pipe and is swept away by the current.
The effects of Marv's brief touch causes Ivy to turn into an adult enough to outgrow her clothes by the time she awakens on the shore of the river. She later obtains the clothes belonging to the ex-wife of the man who found her where she knocked out offscreen for neglecting his plants.
At some point, Ivy takes refuge in an abandoned house that has a greenhouse. After Oswald Cobblepot was shot by Edward Nygma, Ivy Pepper nurses him back to good health and helps to dispose of Gabe and those who came with them by having them buried in her garden of moving plants. Ivy then persuades Oswald Cobblepot to let her help in his plans to get revenge on Edward Nygma by stating that they will need an army of freaks. The two of them managed to get Victor Fries and Bridgit Pike on their side. Upon hearing what happened to Selina Kyle, Ivy Pepper uses her special perfume to control the nurses into bringing plants into Selina's room. When Selina finally was awoken, Ivy was against her plan to go to Wayne Manor.
Following the chaos caused by the Alice Tetch Virus, Ivy Pepper assists Oswald Cobblepot in the development of the Iceberg Lounge. She starts to feel neglected and goes to an apothecary where she consumes some chemicals held in the owner's safe. She then transforms a third time and gains the ability to be more connected to plant life, with a scratch from her poisoning people and causing them to essentially become a human plant. Ivy plans to wipe out the city with her plants, but is stopped by Selina before taking off. Ivy becomes a fugitive and also becomes known as Poison Ivy.
When Gotham City is declared a "no man's land," Ivy Pepper takes refuge in Robinson Park. After she was freed from a salt trap by Bruce, Ivy stated that the plants in Robinson Park are feeding off anyone that enters. She gives Bruce a plant that successfully heals Selina's spinal injury.
Ivy later controls Victor Zsasz into wounding James Gordon. Then she brings the Mutant Leader to have a revenge match against Selina Kyle while she mesmerizes Bruce to take her to the factory that is helping to decontaminate the river so that Lucius can deactivate the machines ther. Mesmerizing a police officer, Ivy frees Zsasz to buy her some time to finish off Gordon. She fought against Lee Thompkins. Although Lee shot Ivy, she managed to get away while Zsasz was subdued by Harvey Bullock.
