Bio: Jack Ryder was born into an average wealth family. But was always bullied as a small child. He was called names such as: Nerd, four eyes, shorty, geek, weirdo, and so on... As he got to middle school, the bullying became physical. He was beaten up almost everyday. People would steal his lunch money, and even his own lunch if he brought it. Sometimes they would even break his glass by taking them off and stomping on them repeatedly. He became a loner. He had no friends. But that all changed when he met young Harleen Quinzell. She was the most beautiful little girl you'd ever meet. She didn't care what he looked like. She didn't care if he was a nerd or wore glasses. She liked him for him. They met when he was getting beat up by a guy and she'd made him stop. Even trying to tend to his wounds. She road the bus with him, ate lunch with him. And even sat beside him during the classes they had together. He'd developed a crush on her. But not just any crush. He was fixated on her. After all. She was the only girl besides his own family to ever show him an ounce of kindness.

Bio

Harleen Francis Quinzell was born into an average wealth family and grew up in an abusive home. Her real mother and father, who did not abuse her or each other, got a divorce. Things were fine until her mother remarried. It was her step-father that was the problem. He abused them both to no end. And always brought chocolates and flowers as an apology to her mother. Her mother would forgive him and things would start all over again. One day in a fit of rage, her step-father murdered her mother, and buried her in the backyard in the garden. He was arrested a short time later when the police found the body.

A couple of years later, she had a boyfriend named Garret. He was rather hyper and upbeat. Always going on about his chaos theory. They both truly loved each other, though, and put everything they could into their relationship. One day Harleen and her doctor decided to try a little test, a psychiatry experiment on Garret. But it all went wrong when he put the gun to his head later that night. Harleen then found out, that same night, that her real father whom she was living with, had been killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. Her life was ruined. She had no one left. She lost it.

She continued to go to therapy for a while before seeking answers from her old mentor. The doctor she had worked with on the experiment. Turns out the doctor had put a diluted form of Joker Venom, he had gotten off the black market, into Garret's 'think drink'. He wanted to see if it would counter the affects of the stress the test would put him under. But it didn't. It only made Garret more irrational. It was his fault Garret had reacted the way he did. And in a fight with Harleen he got infected with his own Joker Venom that was in his pen he'd tried to stab Harleen with. And died.

Harleen then moved on, still in therapy, and went to college. She studied Psychiatry and worked at one of Gotham's mental hospital's for people with phobias for a year before going to work at Arkham Asylum. And then she met the Joker in person. And her life would forever change from there - hopefully for the best.

Information:

Real Name: Pamela Lillian Isley

Occupation: Expert Botanist and Professional Criminal.

Based in: Gotham City.

Age: Age is frozen at age 25. She never ages. If she dies, she almost instantly grows back. Basically immortal.

Eye Color: Bright Green with red pupils and black scelera. (Natural is bright green.)

Hair Color: Rich Red

Height: 5 ft. 9 In.

Weight: 115 lb.

Bio: Pamela Isley was an expert Botanist, trained under Dr. Jason Woodrue whom use to be her professor at Gotham University. She owned her own store called the Baudelaire and was also employed by a cosmetics company as a chemist working on perfumes. She also offers a weekly lecture at the university on rare and exinct plant species as well as carniverous plant species. Once she had graduated from the university, she had such an expert knowledge on plants that she was invited by Ferris Boyle to be a visiting specialist at GothCorp, by helping his company by developing strains of freeze resistant plants for farming on cold climates, and the possible colonization of Mars.

Sometime before the Joker's first appearance, she had been tranformed by her former mentor, Dr. Jason Woodrue, into a human/plant hybrid. Now called Poison Ivy. Initially horrified at her mutated form, she released poisonous plant spores into Gotham city with her new amazing plant powers in an act of revenge, killing hundreds.

Eventually she was defeated by Batman himself and incarcerated, now held in Arkham Asylum after being deemed insane by the then D.A Harvey Dent whom she had personally poisoned weeks before she had turned into Poison Ivy by faking a relationship with him.

Ivy deemed Dent one of many of Nature's enemies due to a strip of bare land that Mayor Hill began contruction on for a new, modern prison, Stonegate Penitentiary, which would go a long way toward making Gotham safe for it's citizens. Hill had commended District Attorney, Harvey Dent, as the driving force behind the prison's construction, also thanking the Bruce Wayne foundation for funding the project. She'd poisoned him by giving him a deep kiss, her lips laced with poison from the wild thorny rose, that was now extinct, with her secretly having the only one left in existance. It was because of the mayor, Bruce, and Dent that the rose was now gone.

Batman used the extract from the wild throny rose to create an antidote to it's poison, curing Dent from his fatal condition.

It was later that Batman figured out her involvment with Dent's poisoning, going out to arrest her, only to find her in Dr. Jason Woodrue's lab a few days later after searching the city. Having been experimented on, She was trapped, weakened due to no sunlight and water, and she was injured. Capturing her, she was taken to Gotham General hospital. On the way there it was then that many vines erupted from the ground, crushing the ambulences, except for the one she was in. Rescuing her, they took her to Gotham Park where they tended to their new mother. After healing and growing her own garden of many different plants, new, old, and extinct, it was then that she unleashed her wrath on Gotham City using many of her own hybrid plants such as giant man-eating fly traps, to wreck havoc among the citizens she deems as walking meat sacks.

Her crimes have become more ecologically focased as she has increasingly abandonded her human side, identifying more with the natural world. Her unique brand of eco-terrorism often puts her into conflict with Batman, whose iron will usually protects him from her seductive powers.
