History:

(Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death #3, 4) - Poison Ivy, now reformed and working at Gotham Botanical Gardens, had her research on genetic engineering plant / animal hybrids stolen, and contacted Catwoman. She suspected her work was in an unused but secure wing of the Gardens, and asked for Catwoman's help breaking in. Ivy's co-worker Darshan Bapna visited the apartment, learning Ivy's secret identity. Pam let Darsham down, and he agreed to be their point man, convincing him they weren't stealing, only taking back what was hers. The abandoned wing was filled with guards, so Darshan directed them to the old steam tunnels to get in. Pam heard a voice from the Green calling for help as security fled the building. The voice said the men used her as a test subject, so she killed them, turning them to wood. Deeper in the facility they found Ivy's stolen research and Lee, who'd nearly died hiding in a freezer from the subject. The subject turned out to be a small child with green skin, and Pam promised to protect her. She was enraged to see dead and malformed sporelings Lee had created with her stolen notes, so she strangled him with vines, and prepared to destroy the building with vines before Catwoman and Bapna reminded they needed to get out of the building first and protect the wayward test subject.

Comments: Created by Gardner Fox & Carmine Infantino.
