Standing at a height of 5'2" and weighing 100 pounds, Dr. Isley was a gifted botanist from Seattle, Washington. She fell for Dr. Jason Woodrue and was used for his greatest experiment. Toxins were injected into her bloodstream and made Isley's mere touch toxic. She also was given the ability to generate pheromones to control any man. Chlorophyll pigment placed was also placed her blood and caused her skin to turn green. However, Woodrue was being investigated by the police. He fled and left Isley to be captured. After six months in a hospital, Isley gave into anger and went insane. After her release, Isley resurfaced in Gotham City as the temptress, Poison Ivy. She blackmailed the city with the threat of releasing deadly spores into the sky. Batman defeated her and she was sent to Arkham Asylum.

At an arms sale conducted by Joe Chill, Poison Ivy was present. Ivy made the first bid for the Sonic Disrupter at $10,000. When Batman crashed the sale, ivy rallied several henchmen after him. After it was revealed Chill was responsible for creating Batman, the villains turned on him. She and the others fled the site when the roof began to give way. Some time later, Poison Ivy unleashed her latest plan to become Queen of Crime. A massive outgrowth of plantlife sprang forth in Gotham around a giant purple plant. Batman arrived to stop her with Black Orchid secretly disguised as one of her Flower Children henchmen. When Batman rejected Ivy's offer to be her King, she ordered him to be fed to the purple plant, Georgia. However, Batman had a bomb ready and escaped. Poison Ivy attempted to kill Batman but was knocked out by Black Orchid.
