Poison ivy, Dictionary Meaning: vine causing itching rash
Well, only the writers of Dc comics will be able to tell us , what came to their minds when they created a villainess out of a poor plant. Perhaps one of the most scientifically advanced , super mutated villainess. And obviously she was hot. As her abilities grew , she developed a special skill “Kiss of the death” . As the name suggests whoever was kissed by voluptuous ivy dies.
Ivy was literally able to control people with weak mind using her odor. In fact she almost managed to captivate everyone apart from Batman , Superman included(another proof as to why superman sucks, smelled a woman and became her bodyguard)into doing her bidding.
What is special about ivy is that she wasn’t evil or mutated by birth. In fact she was rich and naïve. Thanks to her bio-tech professor’s experiments, she got mutated. And through the series , it was seen that there were lot of time poor girl tried to reform , but either some people of her own league asked for her assistance or the community forced her to be vengeful.
This brings us to notice an important aspect of our own life. We all started like innocent kids(at least most of us). Than we reached college and were given the freedom we never had at home. We met seniors who helped us grow(mutation). Studies took a back seat. Late night football. As per Shaleen’s own words “ we have become the people our parents asked us not to hang out with”. There were times when one or another of us realized that we needed to focus. But as ivy was approached by Clayface and Dr Freeze , our own pals came to us and brought us back to the so called “injustice league” . We stuck together doing things that have been considered wrong by institute. Which includes things from staying out of institute till 3 in night(KLPD night) , breaking roses from rose garden or playing cricket in lobby. Oh I forgot to mention ragging.And towards the end even girls defying the end time(staying at my place or in town) for night outs.Boozing throughout the night and at times even before an exam. Most of these things were for purpose of fun.
Once upon a time Ivy took a small inhabited island , changed it using her abilities to a garden. But before she started living happily , a research company from Gotham came over and destroyed the place because they needed the land, forcing her to be vengeful again. Even we have been through this. The system hurt us with rules like 70% attendence ,extra classes. Forcing us to be vengeful , making us break rules. Proxys and bunking classes became a second nature to us. I remember spending full days in canteen , doing absolutely nothing. I doubt anyone ever attended 8 am lectures on time.
In another appearance ivy was manipulated by Riddler. I am sure that at some point of time we have been in both ivy’s place and in the place of Riddler. Manipulation to such an extent that none of us can ever stand up and say “it wasn’t my fault” . All of HIV will remember nunny’s message to smaran saying “I Love u”. For one ,Gogi tried to make, an ivy out of all of us, when it came down to him and D. But even Poison ivy managed to escape from the control of riddler and so did we.
I have a world of examples , but I will leave it for sometime else , just in case Gogi comes up with another IDEA to molest my writing skills.
