Ivy Pepper (Gotham)

Ivy Pepper was a young girl trying to survive among the criminals of Gotham City, until an accident caused her to physically age and join the Penguin's organization. After being rejected by him and the Sirens, Ivy ingested several mystical chemicals and was reborn with plant control powers, becoming an eco-terrorist known as Poison Ivy and the Witch to the citizens of Gotham.^[2][3]

History

Childhood

Ivy was the daughter of the criminal Mario Pepper and Alice Pepper. She lived a regular life in Gotham, which was pretty horrible for the middle class. When her father was framed for the murder of the Waynes, he ended up dying in a chase. Her mother later committed suicide in grief, leaving Ivy an orphan. Living on the streets, she became friends with Selina Kyle. She later worked for Butch Gilzen's nephew and grew "magic mushrooms" for him, though she later betrayed him to let Selina and Bruce steal his money.

First rebirth

After the Indian Hill breakout, Ivy became worried about Selina and found that she was working for Fish Mooney. Calling the escapees freaks, Ivy angered Fish, who sent Marv after her. The freak briefly touched Ivy, before she fell into an open sewer. When Ivy awoke, she found herself on shore as a young woman. To her own surprise, she learned that her newfound beauty would make men give her things without her needing to pay for them. This led to her accidentally incurring the wrath of the Whisper Gang and learning of the Court. She later joined forces with Penguin, helping him freeze Riddler in ice and prepare for the opening of the Iceberg Lounge.^[4]
