uses her beauty to lure men to deaths or downfalls. She uses her wisdom to
put men in a bind and results in their demise. Poison Ivy is a woman with
intent on exploiting, and the destruction of all men who once were the cause
of her pain. She often lies in an attempt to save herself and cause harm to
others. Poison Ivy is a woman of great cunning and knowledge.
When Poison Ivy came into the movie she had a new beauty with
which she first she uses to bring harm upon her most closest male victim
which also brought about her creation as in the tale of Eve being created
from a rib bone from Adam. She brings about a new hatred of all men
because she seems to lure any man she can get her hands on into death
caused by her poison. Eve does the same to Adam but her poison is
temptation. Poison Ivy tries to destroy any man she can with her web of
deceit. She lives for one purpose the temptation and destruction of man,
which is the description of femme fatale.

her beauty to see the reality of her evil intentions. She uses this to put men in
a trap that causes them pain and misery. Poison Ivy was a very smart
botanist before she turned into her evil ways. That explains her intelligence
