- — Poison Ivy to Tawny Young[src]
Poison Ivy (aka Pamela Isley) is the deuteragonist of the DC Universe's animated Harley Quinn franchise. She is Harley Quinn's best friend, eventual girlfriend, and fellow Arkham Asylum escapee.
In Season 4, Ivy became the CEO of the Legion of Doom, but she eventually realized it interfered with her real goals. She defected from the Legion of Doom and later became a member of the newly created Gotham City Sirens, which disbanded sometime before the beginning of Season 5 due to the teammates' inability to work together.
Appearance
Poison Ivy is a young tall woman with an hourglass figure, green skin, green eyes, and green lips. She has long, waist-length red hair, styling part of it on the left side, almost covering her eye; the look may have been inspired by the hair of Poison Ivy's redesign in the DC Animated Universe, specifically in The New Batman Adventures and Static Shock.
Most of her outfits heavily favor green. Her usual look is a dark green jacket and a white tank top underneath it, with green tights/pantyhose with a pattern of leaves and lines on them, and black high heels. For pajamas, she wears a long-sleeve T-shirt reading "Tree Hugger" with green sleeves, plus green pajama pants. In the cold, she sometimes wears a beanie with a pink flower print on it, notably when at Mr. Freeze's lair. Many of Ivy's accessories are colored green, including a green sunhat, green sunglasses (in "Bachelorette"), green scuba goggles, and a green bikini (in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.").
Some of Ivy's other outfits include a standard orange prison suit (when in Arkham), a long white wedding dress with lace sleeves plus an extension red wig underneath her real hair (at her wedding to Kite Man), and an ensemble of a green off-the-shoulder bodysuit, arm-length gloves, kitten heels, and petals sprinkled in wavier hair (in "Climax at Jazzapajizza"). This third outfit likely draws from Poison Ivy's more conventional designs.
In the The Eat, Bang, Kill Tour comics, her primary outfit is a V-neck teal shirt, black ripped shorts, and red sneakers that she got from a store in Gotham Mall.
Biography
Background
Early life
- ❝ I was created by a freak accident in a lab, and through some fucked-up miracle, I got superpowers instead of dying. ❞
- — Poison Ivy[src]
Young Ivy getting berated by her father
Pamela Isley was born to incredibly wealthy but unkind parents. She struggled to make friends and her feeling of loneliness was exacerbated by her parents mocking her over it and emotionally and physically abusing her.[3] She did, however, have at least one friend at some point in the form of Jennifer, her best friend in Kindergarten.[4] At some point, she got her first plant, a ficus she named Mr. Ferris. Unfortunately, one day she accidentally stumbled upon her father cheating on his wife, which he punished her for by beating her. This abuse was what caused her to give up on humanity.[5]
At some point, Isley enrolled in Hudson University, where she met her first love, Bella Garten, who was initially just her best friend but soon became much more. While there, she and Bella were often inseparable, hanging out with their friends Cora and Rene, who accepted them for who they were. By the time they entered their junior year, Isley and Bella were roommates still in love. But gradually, they started to drift apart due to the influence of professor Jason Woodrue, who started exerting influence over Isley and starting a relationship with her. While Bella saw through Woodrue's facade, Isley resisted Bella's warnings, accusing her of jealousy and often gaslighting her. Eventually, this caused Bella to move out, saddened Isley, who claimed that a piece of her heart was left with Bella.[6][note 2]
During her youth, Pamela went on to gain her doctorate in biochemistry at Sarah Lawrence College, briefly dating a man named Dan there.[2] During her university studies, Pamela embarked on a secret relationship with one of her university professors, Jason Woodrue. While taking his class, Pamala created a sentient plant, whom she named Frank, in professor Woodrue's lab using a serum and took care of him like a child. However, when she showed him off to her professor, he did not care about him personally and wanted to take credit for his creation. When Ivy opposed this, he attempted to steal Frank. Pamela fought back and managed to get Frank but knocked over chemicals. Woodrue locked them into the lab with the deadly pesticides, forcing Pamela to inject herself with the serum and thus, turning her into part plant.[7] She later claims her powers came by "a freak accident in a lab".[8]
Shortly after, she assumed the identity of Poison Ivy, a self-styled "eco-terrorist" fighting for the environment using her power to control plant life. At some point, she created Edin, named after the Garden of Eden but with an "I" for Ivy, a place where ancient plants could bloom without human interference. She planned to take it to a larger scale and terraform the entire Earth. Still, she had only grown one acre after putting much time and effort into it. Eventually, she gave up on it entirely, believing she would never be able to succeed in reclaiming Earth from humans.[9] She was frequently propositioned to join the Legion of Doom for her great powers, but she rejected their invitations 148 times.[10]
At some point prior to befriending Harley, Ivy met Catwoman.[11] They would hook up, but Ivy wanted more from the relationship despite Catwoman not feeling the same way. However, Ivy stuck around, hoping she would change her mind, resulting in Catwoman wrapping her around her little finger. It eventually ended, and Ivy went on to feel pathetic about the whole thing and kept it to herself.[12] At some point, she and Catwoman also teamed up on a mission in the Amazon Rain forest to take down loggers, ending with Catwoman abandoning Ivy to steal a blood diamond, leaving Ivy to pay for all her hotel bills.[13]
Arkham to the present
Ivy eventually ended up in the Arkham Asylum for her crimes, frequently fighting with the guards whenever live plants were accidentally presented to her (such as when the cafeteria accidentally bought live lettuce). Harleen Quinzel, the new psychologist in the asylum, saw her being burnt by the staff after attempting to escape and showed concern for her, but Ivy promptly told her to "fuck off." After learning they were in the same therapy group, Harleen came to Ivy for help, figuring out the Joker to get him to reveal the location of a bomb. Poison Ivy was acidic and hateful to Harleen but helped her accidentally. Harleen thanked her with a flower, which Ivy greatly appreciated in private.[5]
When the Joker escaped with Harleen as his captive, Poison Ivy followed them and saved her when the guards began shooting at them by blocking their bullets with her plants. After Ivy tied up the Joker in her vines, Harleen asked her why she had saved her, and Ivy admitted that no one had ever given her a gift before and reached out with her hand to help her. Harvey Dent and the Arkham guards soon caught up with them, and as Harvey shouted to kill them all, Ivy looked over at a scared Harleen and suddenly raised her hands and surrendered. She then nervously asked her to become her new psychologist before being sedated and taken back to Arkham.[5]
With this bonding experience, Ivy began to open up to Harleen as she became her new psychologist, the only doctor who ever managed to get through to Ivy and truly help her. Harleen had diagnosed Ivy as a "classic misanthrope with abandonment issues who befriends plants to avoid human intimacy" and was so successful with her that she managed to get Ivy to the point where she could be around people without vomiting — although she still loathed it.[2] One Valentine's Day, Ivy spent the day alone in her cell feeling like no one cared about her, then Harleen came to her cell giving her a cart of chocolate milk she stole from the commissary. She asked if she wanted some company and described the entire plot of Shrek 2 to her. Ivy reflected on this as her best Valentine's Day ever, as Harleen made her feel like she mattered for the first time.[1]
For her help, Ivy became good friends with Harleen, who eventually left her position to become Harley Quinn, the Joker's sidekick and girlfriend.
Season 1
"Til Death Do Us Part"
- Main article: Til Death Do Us Part
Ivy kidnapping Harley, having knocked her out with a pheromone toxin
Ivy is introduced in the Arkham Asylum after Harley has been inside for six months. She tried to gently convince Harley that the Joker was not coming to rescue her over three months following that. Still, Harley stubbornly insisted on waiting for him, even though all of Harley's peers agreed with Ivy. Ivy insisted that Harley could find someone better, but Harley remained unconvinced for another three months until Ivy broke out of Arkham and kidnapped Harley in the process.
Bringing Harley back to her apartment, Ivy set about restoring her dying plants and learned that Frank the Plant ate the boy she paid to water them, along with his parents. When Harley awoke, she insisted on leaving to return to the Joker as soon as possible, but Ivy restrained her with several vines and forced her to listen. She reminded Harley that she was a "genius psychiatrist". She convinced her to diagnose herself, and after talking to a hallucination of Doctor Quinzel, Harley diagnosed herself as a "classic abusive codependency". Realizing the problem, Harley finally agrees with Ivy's suggestions to break off her relationship with the Joker.
Not to be outdone, the Joker began to manipulate Harley almost immediately, angering Ivy. Ivy tried to keep Harley from falling for it, but in only a few seconds, the Joker had Harley kissing him again, and they were back together, stunning and disgusting Ivy. In response, Ivy calls in her debt with the Riddler, having him claim to have a riddle "so funny it makes people explode" so that the Joker would send Harley to kill him. When both Harley and Batman arrived, the Riddler captured them both and forced the Joker to choose which to live and which to fall into acid. Unsurprisingly, the Joker chooses to save Batman, and Harley is dropped into a pool of "acid".
Ivy saves Harley from the "acid"
The acid was a margarita mix that Ivy scrounged together, but it proved Ivy's point that the Joker did not care about Harley. Ivy pulled her out of the "acid" and explained that she set it all up before taking Harley back to her apartment. Shortly afterward, a goon from the Joker arrived at the apartment and literally exploded, serving as the Joker's apology to Harley. Harley then went off to break up with the Joker, with Ivy standing by to assist if needed, but Harley ended up needing no help, so Ivy offered to get her some Thai food.
"A High Bar"
- Main article: A High Bar
While watching Howie Mandel with Harley and Frank the Plant, Ivy saw the Joker take over the show, insult Harley, and then activate a bomb on Howie. Harley smashed another of Ivy's TVs with a bat, much to her consternation. Ivy tries to convince her that she should not care what Joker or anyone thought of her, which Harley agrees to, though insisting on showing off her independence by crashing a Legion of Doom party. Despite Ivy's protestations, and together with Frank, she convinced Ivy to come along just before Harley smashed her phone after seeing confirmation of Howie's death on its screen.
Ivy flying with Kite Man over Gotham City Park
Seeing that the party Harley crashed was a bar mitzvah for The Penguin's nephew, Ivy suggested leaving, only for Harley to abandon her to get propositioned by Kite Man. Eventually, Harley came back but still insisted on staying to rob the Gotham Mint before abandoning Ivy once again. She then found herself surrounded by several kids, Kite Man having stolen Ivy's distilled pheromones and given them to the kids. Given that her distilled pheromones cause people to fall in love with her and then die, Ivy and Kite Man had to head back to her apartment to get an antidote. However, Kite Man was under the impression that they would have sex and so disrobed, forcing Ivy to bluntly tell him to get his clothes back on so they could fly back to the bar mitzvah. Kite Man apologized en route, and although reaffirming the action as creepy, Ivy admitted that when they were soaring through the air, it was rather nice.
Ivy arrives just as the Joker threatens to kill Harley if she does not admit she is "nothing" without him, and when she refuses, all of the Legion of Doom members converge on them all. Ivy countered Scarecrow while Kite Man reluctantly fought Bane and Harley attacked Two-Face. Kite Man quickly went down, and Ivy defended Harley from gunfire while Harley disarmed Scarecrow. Ivy then tossed Harley Two-Face's gun, which she used to shoot Scarecrow's toxin tank and blast him away. However, The Penguin entered the fray and disarmed Harley, with all the Legion members surrounding Ivy and Harley.
Ivy defends her best friend from the Joker
Harley used a lull in the fight to convince the Legion members to defect from the Joker, so he drew his gun to kill her, but Ivy stood in his way. Ivy continued to block his path as he became surrounded by hostile plants, the tension rising until the Joker suddenly got a phone call from his contractor. Angered by delays, the Joker said to "put a pin in this" and departed, allowing Ivy and Harley to leave unhindered. Back at Ivy's apartment, she tried to convince Harley that she didn't need to prove herself to anyone, but Harley now insisted on joining the Legion of Doom herself. Frank interrupted them to remind them of the poisoned boys from earlier, so Ivy drank the antidote and kissed each briefly on the lips to cure them.
"So You Need a Crew?"
- Main article: So You Need a Crew?
"Your independence is quite inspiring"
Harley arrived back at Ivy's house, certain that she needed a crew, and Ivy attempted to dissuade her from getting one by pointing out that Doctor Psycho could take on Wonder Woman singlehandedly. When he ended up calling Wonder Woman "the c-word", Harley retorted that a crew would have let him know to use "the b-word" instead and left Ivy's apartment to pursue a crew. Returning, Harley told Ivy about being rejected by Underworld Talent Incorporated and passed up for Kite Man at a bar. Still, Ivy was only interested in whether Kite Man mentioned her name.
Ivy and Harley then went to see Maxie Zeus' inspirational speech, with Ivy complaining about and heckling him the entire time despite Harley's enthusiasm until she eventually got fed up and left. Harley later came back to Ivy's apartment and asked Ivy herself to join her crew after Maxie Zeus insisted no "bad guy" would work for a woman. At Frank's insistence, Ivy revealed the reason she wouldn't team up due to a "glass ceiling" for female supervillains, citing Queen of Fables getting imprisoned inside the United States Tax Code by the Justice League when she became too powerful.
She sent Harley off to get the full story from Queen of Fables, and when Harley returned, Ivy claimed that she wasn't trying to dissuade Harley, only trying to ensure that Harley knew what she was "up against" because Ivy loved Harley. Harley used Ivy's advice and decided to seek out people no one else believed in to comprise her crew, namely Doctor Psycho, who once again used "the c-word" and became "the least employable person on earth", in Ivy's words. After gathering her crew and successfully robbing Maxie Zeus, Ivy was excited for Harley and proud as well as shocked that she had managed to get a highway named after herself.
"Finding Mr. Right"

Harley destroys Ivy's coffee table
Ivy is seen cleaning up her apartment with the assistance of plants, only for Harley and her crew to arrive with a bale of cash and drop it on her Noguchi coffee table and destroy it (which she promptly paid for). Harley then watched TV and became enraged when her heist was ignored. She also promptly destroyed that - Ivy's ninth TV in two weeks. She insisted that having no notoriety was good so they wouldn't face pressure from the authorities or Justice League. Still, Harley insisted on getting a "nemesis" to increase their popularity. Harley then passed it off as Ivy's idea, much to Ivy's dismay.
Ivy soon became aggravated with Harley's crew messing up her apartment and using her hairbrush. Sy Borgman, her landlord, then barged in and threatened to evict her if she didn't stop them from messing up the apartment, but Ivy closed the door in his face because it seemed like he was "gonna get racist". She proceeded to berate Harley's crew until King Shark arrived at the apartment, frightening her and prompting her to draw plants around herself in defense until Clayface vouched for him. Eventually, Harley tried to get Batman as her nemesis, to Ivy's supreme skepticism. When Harley ended up getting stuck with Robin as a nemesis, Ivy took it in good humor up until she insisted on kidnapping Lois Lane to get Superman as her nemesis, again aggravating Ivy.
"Oh my god, Ivy! You're pregnant? Oh! This is gonna be so bad for your career, but so good for your Instagram."
Harley arrived back at Ivy's apartment to see it covered in pregnancy celebration decorations, presuming Ivy to be pregnant. In actuality, it was a prank/assassination attempt by the Joker, mocking Harley, taking on Robin as her nemesis via a card that promptly exploded, covering the entire apartment in ash. Ivy then opposed Harley's idea to kill Robin, but luckily, Harley devised an alternative idea to get Robin to admit his lie. However, when Ivy sees Harley being fought by Batman on TV for endangering Robin, Ivy quickly comes to Harley's defense to prevent her from being taken back to Arkham Asylum.
"Let her go!"
Ivy entered the studio on a throne of moving vines and restrained Batman with them. Harley was relieved, but Ivy was annoyed, and although she refused to slander Harley on live TV, she was willing to tell the audience not to wash out their recyclables before disposing of them. This distracted her enough for Batman to escape her vines and throw a shuriken at her, which Harley blocked. Harley and Ivy then proceeded to fight Batman together until the Joker arrived, at which point a three-way battle ensued until Batman could launch Ivy aside with several explosives. The Joker then used his explosive to drop studio equipment on Batman, at which point he kidnapped Robin and fled, forcing Batman to chase after him and abandon Harley and Ivy. Everyone returned to Ivy's apartment, where Harley's crew cleaned it up. Ivy assured Harley that she would eventually get a nemesis but shouldn't try to force it. However, Sy Borgman arrived right after with a formal eviction notice due to King Shark's presence as a "pet".
"Being Harley Quinn"
- Main article: Being Harley Quinn
In response to the eviction, Ivy and Harley sought out new lairs for themselves, only for Harley to reject them all due to not knowing what exactly she wanted or who she was. Ivy suggested questioning Harley to find out, but it caused Harley to panic and freeze, requiring Doctor Psycho's assistance to fix her brain. However, Ivy insisted everyone go with him into Harley's mind to prevent him from "creep(ing) around Harley's head". Everyone then entered Harley's mind, and Ivy found Harley herself there. Harley eventually found her origin story memory and tried to interact with it, causing a brain lockdown that trapped them all inside, freaking Ivy out with concern for her plants.
Ivy passed out with the rest of Harley's Crew
Harley Gremlins then began arriving, prompting Ivy and everyone else to flee into an elevator, where Ivy commented on the fact that it was "almost comforting" to know that Harley was always "this fucked up". They ended up at Harley's optic nerve, where they witnessed Golda and Sy Borgman planning to burn their bodies, so Psycho took everyone to Harley's subconscious to escape using an alternative exit. When they ended up cornered by Harley Gremlins, a hallucination of Frankie Muniz arrived to save them, which Ivy found creepy due to Harley's desire to deceive him into impregnating her.
Doctor Psycho told them to avoid Repressed Memory Island, but Harley and Ivy insisted on going. Doctor Psycho claimed it was because she was Ivy's only friend, to which she retorted that it was "by design because she's the only human being I think is worth a shit". She then convinced everyone to follow Harley to the island, where Harley had a revelation about her origin story and promptly reclaimed control over her own origin story. With her sanity restored, she could normally take everyone out of her mind, just in time to stop Sy Borgman and Golda from killing them all. Ivy confronted Sy until Harley declared that their mall would be a perfectly suitable lair and struck a deal with Sy to have him join their crew.
"You're a Damn Good Cop, Jim Gordon"
- Main article: You're a Damn Good Cop, Jim Gordon
Ivy lounged in their new lair at the Gotham Mall until Harley's Crew arrived with King Tut's desiccated corpse, which Ivy had originally planned to see that weekend. At Harley's continued rage over not being noticed for Legion of Doom consideration, Ivy tried once again to persuade Harley that the Legion of Doom wasn't worth it, but accepted her petty reasons of wanting to throw her success back into the Joker's face. Ivy offered her assistance in stealing from WayneTech to get attention, lifting Harley and Doctor Psycho to the 26th floor of the building with large vines (which threw Doctor Psycho roughly into the building for being a "misogynist troll that should be living in a well").
Ivy catches Doctor Psycho
After Doctor Psycho flew out of the building on WayneTech's invisible bike and crashed it, Ivy caught him as he plummeted to the ground, saving him. She held him in her arms briefly before tossing him roughly into a truck with her vines again and headed back to the Gotham Mall. Despite everyone's concerns, including Ivy's point that Harley didn't even know what she stole, Harley was ecstatic and eagerly watched The Cowled Critic's review of the heist. Ivy became enraged when The Cowled Critic took a picture of her holding Doctor Psycho to claim they were dating, saying, "I knew I should have let you fall to your death".
Harley decides to break into the Gotham police station to get Clayface's arm back, but Ivy and Doctor Psycho decide to stay behind and hunt down The Cowled Critic to get revenge. Ivy claimed she was doing it for Harley because she couldn't just let some "anonymous asshole talk shit about my best friend", but also followed up that she was also doing it to clear her name "for us". Ivy was able to zero in on his house through "the grapevine", where his ex-wife Giganta was living with her boyfriend Brad. Giganta referred to Ivy as "that jolly green whore" and claimed not to have made the review, at which point Doctor Psycho's sun Herman Cizko entered the room.
Ivy witnessing Doctor Psycho and Herman Cizko's reconciliation
It turns out Herman was The Cowled Critic, so Doctor Psycho mended their broken relationship with mutual hate that Ivy thought was "so fucked up, but weirdly really moving", so she went to "go find Brad". The slander dealt with; Ivy brought Doctor Psycho to help Harley defeat the last of the police after having recovered Clayface's arm. Afterward, The Cowled Critic retracted his review and lied about Ivy being Doctor Psycho's girlfriend. He recommended Harley for the Legion of Doom, provided she stopped leaving crew members behind. This prompted them to remember about King Shark being imprisoned in the Arkham Asylum, so Ivy helped everyone to free him.
"The Line"
- Main article: The Line
Ivy watched Queen of Fables get released from the United States Tax Code, but was unbothered when she was sentenced to Arkham, saying that the Queen of Fables was perhaps the only person who genuinely deserved to be there, only to realize that Harley had left and didn't pay attention. Harley then brings Queen of Fables back to the lair, and Ivy arrives just in time to see her savagely murder Humpty Dumpty and begin making an omelet out of him. Ivy tried to convince Harley that she wasn't nearly as extreme as Queen of Fables was, saying, "You're like broadcast bad, she's cable bad". However, Harley said she couldn't listen to her while she was "dressed like a '40s housewife who's fucking her husband's boss", and not willing to reveal why, Ivy simply left.
Ivy going out to eat with Kite Man
She ended up in a lower-class apartment building to meet Kite Man, using her attire to assure her anonymity. She appreciated the roses he gave her but insisted on going to a movie rather than attending dinner publicly. Afterward, Ivy returned to the mall to see Harley's horrified crew, shocked by Queen of Fables' brutality. Ivy expected this and used it to goad Harley into ditching Queen of Fables, who left on bad terms. After that, Ivy finally went out to have dinner with Kite Man, but they didn't acknowledge his reservation and ended up waiting 45 minutes. With other supervillains able to get a table immediately by simply dropping their name, Kite Man asks Poison Ivy to do the same, only for her to refuse vehemently. Kite Man then caught on to the fact that she was ensuring her anonymity and was ashamed to be seen with him. He then made a dramatic scene and revealed her name, immediately getting them their table, but he stormed out anyway.
"I'm Ivy. I'm...I'm his girlfriend."
Ivy returned to his apartment to apologize, saying she pretends to be a "badass who doesn't care what people think" when she does. Kite Man was surprisingly understanding, saying that having a superpower like controlling all plant life or having a kite gives one "so much you gotta live up to". Ivy was bemused that he thought having a kite was power and complimented his "insane" level of confidence and not caring what anyone else thinks, but Kite Man said, "I care what you think", which pleased Ivy. He also said he cared about "dat ass", and she begrudgingly admitted that she did like him "against all logic and reason", having even had sex with him before. When Kite Man's roommate arrived, Ivy introduced herself as his girlfriend. Finally, she returned to the Gotham Mall to see Harley accidentally destroy the Weather Machine she spent so much energy getting.
"L.O.D.R.S.V.P."
- Main article: L.O.D.R.S.V.P.
Harley and her crew performed a heist to steal Atlantean jewels deep underwater, and Ivy stayed nearby so she could come in when needed to deal with Aquaman. After entangling him in kelp, everyone was able to flee successfully. The media took this as confirmation that Ivy was in Harley's crew, which annoyed Ivy until Harley arrived with her long-sought invitation to the Legion of Doom. Ivy congratulated Harley but intended not to go with her until Harley guilt-tripped Ivy into coming along.
Ivy threatens Lex Luthor
While Harley and her crew were enamored with the Legion of Doom, Ivy was contemptuous, comparing its vast wealth to her college boyfriend's. Ivy took every opportunity to mock the place, presuming that "LOD" stood for "Legion of Dildos", which is actually a real sex shop with whom the Legion of Doom is in a protracted legal battle over naming rights. After Harley left for a gift shop, Ivy tracked down Lex Luthor and demanded to know why he suddenly became interested in Harley after ignoring her for so long. Although he had to be threatened into speaking, he eventually revealed that he wanted Ivy to join the Legion of Doom. He was only considering Harley to pressure Ivy to join.
At the dinner that night, Ivy tried to persuade Harley away from joining the Legion of Doom, saying, "This isn't you". Annoyed, Harley left to mingle, and Ivy met Kite Man again, having taken a catering job at the Legion of Doom. Harley then arrived to ask why Ivy was even talking to Kite Man, at which point Ivy became defensive and claimed that he "outclasses any of these idiots", comparing the Legion of Doom to a "boys club" or "frat". Before Harley could respond, Aquaman burst into the party to reclaim the Atlantean jewels Harley and Ivy stole.
Ivy is nearly killed by Aquaman
Kite Man tried to defend Ivy, saying, "I'll protect us, babe", but got caught in a cross-wind and blown out of the building before he could even reach Aquaman. Ivy had to dodge the fact that he called her "babe" publicly, and shortly afterward, Aquaman blasted Black Manta right into Ivy, knocking her aside. Harley then rushed to Ivy's defense and was quickly defeated. Aquaman nearly killed Ivy with his trident, but Harley taunted him into throwing it at her instead. She dodged, and it hit the tank behind her, flooding the area with fish and forcing Aquaman to save them rather than pursue Ivy.
Harley was exultant at saving the Legion of Doom from a member of the Justice League, but Ivy tried to talk Harley down from her excitement to prepare for rejection, to no avail. Lex Luthor then pulled Ivy aside to get her final answer. Although Ivy was conflicted and tried to convince Luthor to invite Harley anyway, Ivy ultimately decided not to join - even if it meant Harley could not get in. Guilt-ridden, Ivy tried once again to talk Harley down, even offering to make their own Legion of Doom between the two of them. However, when Harley refused to listen, Ivy revealed that they genuinely did not want her and only invited Harley to get through to Ivy, doing her best to prepare her for rejection.
Ivy's argument with Harley Quinn in the Gotham Mall
Harley became sad, but then, to everyone's shock, they invited Harley despite Ivy declining Luthor's offer. This made Ivy appear to not believe in Harley, and Harley felt betrayed. Afterward, they all returned to the Gotham Mall, where Harley and Ivy had a heated argument. Harley accused Ivy of "trying to sabotage me instead of confronting that, without me, you don't have a single friend in this world". Ivy stormed out but became depressed over the misunderstanding. The next day, she hoped Harley would text her and bridge the gap in their friendship, but Harley decided against it.
"A Seat at the Table"
- Main article: A Seat at the Table
Ivy and Harley later went to dinner to patch up their relationship, but Ivy remained distant and concerned over how easily Harley "abandoned" her. However, Harley assured her she would never abandon Ivy and offered to help her destroy a PlanetWide Pavers factory that Lex Corp had recently set up. They scheduled to go over a plan that Friday, but Ivy was alone with Frank while she went over schematics. Frank insisted that with no plant around the factory, Ivy would be helpless, and although Ivy assured him that Harley would help her, Frank kept badgering Ivy to take him along and even insulted her outfit.
Ivy begins to doubt Harley
Ivy texted Harley to figure out where she was, but Harley claimed to be bogged down by the Legion of Doom business. Frank then arrived with the help of Chaz, "my pot guy. Carries my pot around wherever I need to go." Ivy said he sells marijuana and made to leave, at which point Frank discerned that Harley "stood yo ass up". Backpedaling, Ivy assured him that Harley just needed to reschedule, but Frank was certain that Harley had "changed". Although Ivy disagreed with his analogy about a pear tree that survived 9/11 and stopped calling him back, she nonetheless began to have doubts.
Later, Ivy got news about King Shark having his fin blown off in a botched assassination attempt by Bane. She rushed to the hospital with a plant to give him and quickly became alarmed at King Shark's heartbeat until he explained that it was normal for sharks. She then asked about Harley until Clayface pointed at the TV, where Harley was seen with the Joker "tonguing each other down". At that moment, Harley finally arrived, reiterating her lie that she was wrapped up with Legion business. Still, Ivy stared angrily at Harley and complained about being ditched for the Joker, saying that she thought Harley was "better than that".
Ivy captured
Harley's crew then began to turn on her, so Harley tried to appeal to Ivy directly, but Ivy rebuffed her. Despite apologizing and begging Ivy not to leave, Ivy abandoned Harley with the rest of her crew, saying, "I need people I can count on". Ivy insisted on destroying the PlanetWide Pavers factory alone, and although she managed to get inside without issue, all of her plants were rapidly killed by targeted gas streams. The alarms immediately began blaring, and Ivy was forced to flee but could not escape through the locked doors. The gas eventually overwhelmed her.
"Bensonhurst"
- Main article: Bensonhurst
Harley continually tried to text Ivy, but she was in captivity and unable to respond to any of them. Ivy awoke strapped to a table and guarded by Gus, a "low-level goon" part-timing to pay for art supplies for his main job as a kindergarten teacher. Ivy offered to double what he was making and buy art supplies for himself if he released her, but he refused, fearing of dropping to "three stars on Goon Review" and compromising his future employment prospects. Ivy tried threatening him, but he was unconcerned because they would be "harvesting you in two days, so..." He then left to take a call from a parent. He blew on a dandelion flower whose pappus managed to fly through the factory ventilation system to land on Ivy. She then animated the plant and sent it to Frank to get help.
- ❝ WE'RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE. FUCK OFF ❞
- — Gus texting Harley on Ivy's phone
The barrage of texts continued while she was in Bensonhurst visiting her parents, which Gus took notice of. He read some of them to her, and Ivy agreed with Harley and Gus that she's "not a kitten heel person". She also insisted that Gus let her use the phone to send a goodbye message to Harley, but Gus refused on the suspicion that Ivy would send out a distress call. Ivy tried to persuade Gus that they had "built a rapport", so Gus decided to help her by texting Harley back to break off their friendship, sending an insulting text message to Harley. He then told Ivy about his life story until Scarecrow showed up and sedated Ivy.
"Harley Quinn Highway"
- Main article: Harley Quinn Highway
Ivy's surgery
Ivy awoke while she was being wheeled in for surgery, and when they undid her restraints, she immediately killed both of her guards with a knife and strangulation, respectively. She killed two more guards with a gun and then fled the facility, defeating three more guards en route. She reached the exit and used a stolen security card to open the door, only to find herself face to face with Scarecrow, who easily recaptured her in her weakened state. He then took her for surgery, where he harvested a large number of her pheromones, synthesized them, and used the mutated pheromones in small quantities to make a large number of bombs, which were then loaded onto several trucks. While this process was wrapping up, Scarecrow administered a specially designed fear toxin on Ivy, one that used her pheromones to affect her, and she went insane with fear.
The first thing Ivy saw after waking up
Harley, Doctor Psycho, and the rest of her crew managed to enter Ivy's mind and correct the imbalance caused by the fear toxin, and in the process, they learned that Harley was Ivy's greatest fear. Ivy awoke to a scene of absolute carnage and gore after Sy Borgman butchered a series of guards who came to attack them. Still, she dismissed that and Harley's questions in favor of trying to stop Scarecrow from escaping with her augmented pheromones. Ivy also learned from Doctor Psycho that the Legion of Doom itself was behind the whole thing. Although pleased to see them recycling, she continued pursuing Scarecrow inside Sy Borgman (who had transformed into a car). When they got close, Ivy jumped off of Sy and onto one of the trucks, using a strand of plants to kill the drivers and take over the vehicle. Harley then joined Ivy atop the truck and began to badger Ivy for an answer about why Harley was Ivy's biggest fear.
- Ivy
Fine! You want to know what my biggest fear is? Finally, allowing myself to count on someone and then have them ditch me.
- Harley
But I was still plannin' on helping you.
- Ivy
You were my one friend, and I asked you for one favor, but instead you ditched me for the Joker, who treats ya like shit. I thought you could change, but I was wrong. You still live your entire life based on what he might think!
— Ivy and Harley atop different trucks on the Harley Quinn Highway
After finally telling Harley that her fear was of being abandoned by her, Ivy ended up separated from Harley when Harley's truck slowed down on a loop. That truck fell and exploded, and one of the final two trucks pushed Ivy's off the road, forcing her to jump onto it. She then used a leaf stuck under the windshield wiper to slit the throats of the two drivers, but then a turn came up and sent her and the penultimate truck flying into space. At that moment, Sy drove off the track and intercepted Ivy in mid-air, with Harley pulling Ivy to safety inside Sy.
Ivy noted that they couldn't catch the last truck in time, so they grabbed a rocket launcher and stopped the car so that Harley could fire it. However, she takes a moment to admit her faults to Ivy and promises to change her ways; at this point, she shoots the rocket at her own statue, knocking the head onto the track and crashing the final truck. Harley asked if they could be best friends again, but before Ivy could respond, Scarecrow drove the last truck off the track, plummeting into the Gotham Reservoir, transforming hundreds of trees into plant monsters.
"Devil's Snare"
- Main article: Devil's Snare
Ivy holds onto the Lasso of Truth before a portal to the Phantom Zone
Ivy tried and failed to control the plant monsters running amuck throughout Gotham City Park, so due to their mutations, she had to flee with Harley. Eventually, Ivy and Harley's crew became surrounded and were nearly killed, but were saved just in time by the arrival of the Justice League. Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and the Green Lantern made short work of the mutated trees but presumed Ivy and Harley's crew to be at fault, given that Ivy controls plants. Superman prepared to banish them to the Phantom Zone, but Ivy managed to grab onto Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth and wrap it around herself. This forced the Justice League to believe her claims of innocence, but it also forced Ivy to reveal that she watches NASCAR, takes long showers, dislikes paper straws, and was very excited about Jazz Fest.
Queen of Fables then arrived, trapped the Justice League in her storybook, and tossed a bean at Ivy and everyone else's feet. A beanstalk promptly sprung from the ground and launched everyone into the clouds. However, Ivy could not control the beanstalk plant either, which is a magical construct from a fairy tale. A giant soon arrived to kill them, and although Sy Borgman pragmatically suggested climbing down the beanstalk like Jack, Ivy rejected it over his side joke about French kissing Rapunzel. Instead, she used Sy's phone to call for help from Kite Man, although Harley thought it strange that she would have his number memorized. Luckily for Ivy, the giant arrived and forced them to dodge, but Harley once again insisted on answers in the middle of a fight, so Ivy tried to distract her by asking, "How big do you think that giant's dick is".
Harley didn't buy it and insisted on an answer while she scaled the giant to attack it. Relenting, Ivy admitted to dating Kite Man, which shocked Harley enough that the giant was able to knock her away. Doctor Psycho caught Harley, who was shocked that Ivy would date Kite Man, and Ivy admitted that she did love Kite Man "a little". Harley wondered why Ivy never told her, but Ivy claimed that she never asked and that "if it's not about you, you're not interested". Ivy said she didn't try to hide it and repeatedly came home, "reeking of kite, leaves in my hair. Didn't you ever think that was weird?"
Ivy's reaction to Kite Man's arrival
At this point, the giant finally managed to capture everyone in his hands, but Kite Man soon arrived and tossed a sriracha hot sauce packet into its only eye, with everyone cheering him on and Ivy filling up with pride. The giant then fell over in pain and dropped everyone into the open air, so Kite Man caught Ivy in his arms and caught everyone else either on top of his kite or with an extended ladder from the back of it. This weighed down his kite and forced him rapidly downward, so Clayface launched himself to the ground, where he reformed into a ramp to catch everyone else, allowing Kite Man to land gently with Ivy. Everyone who landed on the ramp watched in disgust as Ivy and Kite Man kissed passionately.
Harley then stole a tank, and Ivy piled in with everyone else, preparing to shoot the Legion of Doom office, but it exploded of its own accord, and the Joker's Tower emerged from the rubble. When the Joker insulted Harley's "cheap dye job", and Harley became offended, Ivy pointed out that she'd "seen you neck-deep in six different bottles of that bullshit you buy at the drug store". The Joker also took over the media in Gotham. Ivy commented on them being "only the second most evil news network", but everyone ignored her due to the plant monsters guarding the Joker's tower. Ivy then noticed a hose with water infected from her pheromones and decided to drink it to become powerful enough to fight off the planet's monsters.
Kite Man accompanied her hand in hand, but before she could drink the water, he dropped to one knee and proposed to her (although he did not even have a ring). Put on the spot, she said to "circle back on this" after the apocalypse was dealt with and drank the water. Immediately, she grew to the size of a giant woman and then reluctantly battled the plant monsters, promising to replant many of them. After killing nearly all of them, she returned to Harley and her crew, only for one last monster to kidnap Harley and runoff.
Ivy's corpse
Ivy went after and killed it, catching Harley in her hand as she fell. Harley expressed her gratitude for Ivy killing trees for them, believing she didn't believe she loved anything more than trees. With Harley still in her oversized hand, Ivy pointedly remarked there were "a handful of exceptions". Harley told her she wasn't used to having people "who are good to me in my life", which Ivy sympathized with, saying, "Most people are trash". While Ivy and Harley laughed together, suddenly, a flagpole shot from the Joker's tower speared through Ivy's chest, mortally wounding her. She put Harley on the ground and then collapsed, shrinking back down to normal human size and dying in Harley's arms. A bed of flowers sprouted beneath her corpse.
"The Final Joke"
- Main article: The Final Joke
Here lies Dr Pamela Isley
Dear Friend
Harley, Frank, Kite Man, and Harley's crew held a funeral for Ivy. When Harley got too emotional to say anything, Clayface spoke a eulogy for her from Star Trek. Then the crew said their goodbyes; Kite Man claimed Ivy was his fiancée, Frank made sure her PhD status was marked on her tombstone, Sy Borgman dug the grave, and Doctor Psycho placed her inside it, and filled it in. Later, when most of Harley's crew was captured, she returned to Ivy's grave to mourn her and to place dyed black roses there. However, she was shocked to discover that Kite Man and Frank were living behind the grave and learned from them that the Joker would be executing her crew that night. She then asked for privacy and cried over Ivy's grave before leaving, but just as she departed, one of the roses bloomed.
Ivy, alive and well, confronts the Joker
Being part plant and having been healed by the "renewing power of nature", Ivy rose from her grave and went after Harley. She positioned herself at the vat of chemicals where the Joker intended to throw Harley to wipe her memory and enshrouded the vat in her vines. Seeing this, Harley jumped in deliberately and was caught by Ivy's plants, at which point both of them rose above the catwalk to confront the Joker. Ivy killed both of the Joker's bodyguards and caught him in her vines so that Harley could gloat to him, and then dropped him into his own vat.
Harley was ecstatic and thought that her tears had brought Ivy back to life, but Ivy said, "We don't live in a Disney movie," and that it was the power of nature that had brought her back. However, after seeing Harley's face, she retracted and said that the tears may have helped, too, making Harley smile. At that moment, however, the Joker activated a self-destruct button, which began to destroy his tower—and most of Gotham City along with it.
Gotham in chaos
A falling pipe nearly killed Ivy and Harley both, but Batman arrived to push them out of the way, getting crushed in their stead. Ivy then drew some plants about themselves and used them to escape the collapsing tower, running to a relatively safe skyscraper as the rest of the city collapsed into ruin around them. Looking out over the chaos, Ivy congratulated Harley, since both the Justice League and the Legion of Doom are largely destroyed, incapacitated, or scattered, the Joker himself is "dead" and Gotham is in chaos - all of her goals realized.
Season 2
"New Gotham"
- Main article: New Gotham
Poison Ivy watched as the President of the United States announced Gotham City was no longer part of the United States. After three weeks of partying after the destruction of Gotham, Ivy began to urge Harley to assume command of the city. When goons from The Penguin arrived to take over the mall, Ivy used it to prove her point that others would take over the city if she did not, and Harley was forced to admit the truth when goons of Two-Face arrived shortly after that.
- ❝ Harls, this was your chance to control the city, but now instead of like five big assholes trying to run Gotham, we've got a thousand little assholes to deal with. ❞
- — Poison Ivy
Following Harley's liberation of the goons, Ivy once again complained because it restored disorder to the city and, worse, produced even more villains for them to deal with when they could have taken over. When Harley received an invitation from the newly formed Injustice League, Ivy mocked Harley and said, "I told you so". Later, the Injustice League kidnaps Harley, and Poison Ivy is forced to work with the rest of Harley's crew to save her, failing repeatedly over two months.
Eventually, they allow Clayface to come up with the plan, so Ivy infiltrates one of The Penguin's parties at Iceberg Lounge & Casino dressed in her anonymous outfit, blending until Sy Borgman could distract everyone with smoke. At this point, she helps everyone leave with Harley's block of ice. They end up fleeing with alacrity when The Penguin notices their escape, and although Ivy urges caution with Harley's block of ice, they nonetheless end up smashing a goon with it, breaking Harley's face free. Ivy talks briefly with Harley before they have to flee again.
Ivy and Harley look out over New New Gotham
Ivy used her vines to fight through goons and keep them moving, but when Doctor Psycho launched Harley's block of ice at several goons blocking their way, The Penguin seals the door and separates her from Harley. Eventually, they managed to break through the door, only to find Harley covered in blood. As she finished The Penguin, Harley asked Ivy if they could get coffee. At Noonan's Bar, Ivy tried to gently explain the situation to Harley, only for Clayface to blurt out that she'd been on ice for two solid months. Ivy then shows Harley the now-carved-up city of New New Gotham and comments in agreement with Harley's new plan to take over the city finally.
"Riddler U"
- Main article: Riddler U
Ivy lounged in the pitch darkness of the Gotham Mall until Harley decided to steal electricity from Riddler University. Clayface wanted to come along, which Ivy rejected out of hand. She caked herself in makeup to make her appear Caucasian and then had Kite Man fly her and Harley to Riddler University, going under the alias "Izziadora Staplebuntkin". Stephanie helped them blend in until Harley ran off after someone she thought was the Riddler, only to be identified by Barbara Gordon. Ivy helped Harley break into Barbara's dorm, who turned on her music and used the privacy to insist she was on their side. Ivy was skeptical, but went along.
Ivy can't help dancing to Barbara's music
After stealing Barbara's wristbands for admittance to a suspicious fraternity, Ivy and Harley went there (with Ivy forcing Harley to stop partying/pay attention) and snuck into the back rooms. Ivy discovered that the Riddler is using people as human hamsters to power his university and laughed at the Riddler himself, only for him to blast them with a bolt of electricity and capture them. Eventually, Barbara Gordon arrived and released them, allowing them to overpower and capture the Riddler, forcing him to run on his own hamster wheel to power the Gotham Mall.
"Catwoman"

- Poison Ivy
No, no see, you don't get it. Selina's like, she's so confident and cool. And somehow, she just like, draws you in by being aloof. You know, you just see her, and you're like, "Ah, I want to be like that". And then, you see her wearing overalls, and you're like, "Oh, maybe I want overalls". And then suddenly, you have a closet full of overalls that don't look good on you.
- Harley Quinn
What the fuck are you talking about?
— Poison Ivy, nervous to see Catwoman again
Catwoman steals Ivy's jacket
Harley and Ivy flew with Kite Man to the Gotham Natural History Museum to get Firefly's flamethrower from Doctor Trap to break into Mister Freeze's fortress. On the way, Harley hedged that Ivy deserved better than Kite Man, but she took this badly and fired back regarding Harley's relationship with the Joker. There, Ivy convinced Harley to rethink the assault, given his dangerous traps, after which they went to Chéz Féline to get some help. When Ivy realizes that the "help" is Catwoman, she becomes upset as Catwoman screwed her over on their last mission together until Catwoman herself arrives. At this point, Ivy gushes with adoration for her. Harley becomes bewildered as Ivy continues to fawn all over Catwoman, rambling about potentially getting matching tattoos together and being completely fine with Catwoman stealing her favorite jacket, simply stating it "looks so much better on her".
Ivy goes into the museum with Catwoman, where Catwoman repeatedly saves Ivy from traps while conversing about Ivy's relationship and abandonment of misanthropy. Catwoman comments that she used to have "such a clear brand" and hasn't done anything for the environment in a while, making Ivy self-doubt. Catwoman suggests she "re-evaluate", and although Ivy refuses, she continues to doubt until they close in on the flamethrower, meeting up with Harley and Kite Man. As they get trapped with the flamethrower, Kite Man tries to propose again, which Ivy wants to back out of once more. She gets stressed as Kite Man clumsily yet emphatically tries to express his devotion to her, more focused on the trap about to crush them all.
Harley reassures Ivy
Kite Man once again gets her attention, at which point she snaps and tells him that she doesn't know if she'll ever want to get married, crushing him emotionally as his proposal is rejected a second time. Harley saves them from the trap, and afterward, Ivy leaves to kill a group of executives who dump toxins in the harbor. Harley meets them on the pier. Ivy is frustrated about losing her past self but is reassured and made confident by Harley. Self-assured, she went to Kite Man, apologized, and had him propose a third and final time.
"Thawing Hearts"
- Main article: Thawing Hearts
Poison Ivy and Kite Man prepared to get a wedding venue. Although Ivy insisted it could be done anywhere, Kite Man wanted a specific venue, the Old Gotham Corn Factory, so she supported him. When they faced opposition from the Condiment King, Ivy again assured him they could have their wedding wherever, but he refused to yield. However, when it seemed that the Condiment King would get the venue, he did prepare to yield, so Ivy perked him up and supported him. They went in together to win over the manager, but Ivy soon had to leave to assist Harley at Mister Freeze's mansion, leaving Kite Man to flounder.
Ivy has found a cure
She arrived at Mister Freeze's mansion irritated that she had to be pulled away, but dutifully examined Nora's blood and came up with an idea to transmute Mister Freeze's blood into Nora's incredibly rare blood type, allowing a blood transfusion - this, however, would kill him in the process as his body rejects an unusual blood type. She had Kite Man retrieve an ingredient for the process and then explained the solution to Mister Freeze, with him readily agreeing to the procedure. He saved his wife, and Ivy left with Kite Man back to the Gotham Mall, who accepted her apology about leaving and agreed that they could get married anywhere. However, when Condiment King called Kite Man to gloat using bad condiment puns, Ivy also declared that he was her nemesis.
"All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues"
- Main article: All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues
Harley and Ivy were both at Noonan's Bar when they noticed the Joker, now normal, still alive and working as a bartender. Ivy immediately wanted to kill the Joker in vengeance. Still, Harley forestalls her, saying that if he truly had changed, he wouldn't deserve death, prompting a long argument about whether anyone truly can change. Ivy insisted that such a thing could not happen, so Harley launched into her backstory to support her argument that people can change.
"The first time my father hit me, that's when I gave up on humans... until I met you"
After Harley's long retelling of their backstories, Harley insisted that she managed to change Ivy. Still, Ivy continued to disagree and assert that although Harley had helped her, she didn't change her. She had not always hated humanity but rather revealed that she gave up on humanity the first time her father hit her, until she met Harley. At a stalemate, Harley decided to bring in Doctor Psycho to break the tie and decide whether the Joker truly had changed or not. Doctor Psycho showed them inside his mind, confirming that he had changed, so Ivy left the bar with Harley - only to be immediately captured by Two-Face.
"There's No Place to Go But Down"
- Main article: There's No Place to Go But Down
- ❝ Yeah, we did it, okay? We teamed up to kill your pathetic asses 'cause you deserved it. And one day, we're gonna finish the job ❞
- — Ivy confesses
Ivy confesses to everything
Harley and Ivy are taken before Judge Bane for the murder of Oswald Cobblepot and have an unintelligible bat as their litigator. The case quickly went against them, so Harley begged Ivy to deny her involvement to save herself and remain free to marry Kite Man, which she seemed to consider. However, when put on the stand, she admits to everything, causing them to be sentenced to life in prison. Harley questions why she did that, but Ivy makes it clear she wouldn't let her rot in prison without her and assures her they'll break out in no time. However, she realizes she cannot escape that easily when she finds herself in The Pit rather than Arkham.
Luckily, they learn that George Lopez is coming to The Pit in a chopper, which they can potentially steal to escape. They plan to use the prison talent-show to start a riot with a bad stand-up routine, however, the plan is derailed when Bane detains Harley for refusing to make her bed, leaving Ivy to start the riot herself. Her jokes come across as deadpan and boring, more insulting and pathetic than inciting, so the crowd is unmoved to emotion until the chopper is successfully out of The Pit and away.
A way out
Despondent, Ivy spoke earnestly to the crowd about her botched plan and how she was living in an "emotional pit" for so long, cut off from her feelings. She eventually got out of her emotional pit, making friends and getting engaged, only to end up in a literal pit. She compared life itself to one giant, inescapable pit, which disturbed the inmates and moved them to crave freedom again, so they began a riot and attempted to escape. While the riot was too late to get Lopez's helicopter, the wanton destruction created a massive ramp leading to the mouth of The Pit far above.
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy kiss after escaping The Pit
They made it to the top of the ramp, high enough for Ivy to call down a vine to draw themselves out, but Bane managed to grab a hold of Harley's ankle, creating tension as Ivy held herself, Harley, and Bane's massive form. Harley then realizes that she must let go, and although Ivy urges her repeatedly not to do so, Harley lets go anyway and falls back into The Pit, the recoil of the lost weight launching Ivy up and out. However, Ivy won't let her friend die, so she jumps back into The Pit with stronger vines and arrests Harley's fall at the last instant, launching them both out of The Pit. Stunned and ecstatic to be alive, they both kiss passionately before breaking apart, looking at each other with shocked expressions.
"Inner (Para) Demons"
- Main article: Inner (Para) Demons
Harley and Ivy talk about what happened between them
Harley wanted to express her feelings in the aftermath, but Ivy wanted to write her feelings off as non-existent. She asserted that the kiss was an "impetuous, spur of the moment thing" that had no real meaning and quickly moved on from it with her intention to marry Kite Man - who she nevertheless did not intend to tell about the kiss. At his apartment, Ivy had forgotten to make a reservation for her first meeting with his parents. Although Kite Man is concerned, he quickly picks up that Ivy is uneasy and is supportive of her, so she assures him that she'll wow his parents.
At Senor Mexico's [sic] Ivy quickly spots Mr. and Mrs. Brown and goes over. They are irate that Charles Brown did not place a reservation and that their favorite spot was taken, so Ivy tosses the current occupants aside with vines, impressing them both. Ivy continues to impress them, recounting her feats against superheroes such as Aquaman. Still, when Kite Man leaves, it quickly becomes apparent that they only like her because she's likely to give birth to children with superpowers, something they want for their grandchildren. This makes Ivy uneasy.
- ❝ You know what? Fuck you guys. Yeah, I said, fuck you. Because first of all, I'm the one who messed up the goddamn reservation, okay. Chuck asked me several times not to forget because, for some reason, he cares about you two. And then, he took the heat for it because he cares about me and, for some reason, what you two think about me. So, yeah! He's a kind, loving, supportive partner. And the only miracle here is that you two ghouls somehow raised him. And another thing, he's not lucky to have me, I'm lucky to have him! So, fuck off! ❞
- — Poison Ivy's tirade to Kite Man's parents
After the dinner, Ivy dragged Kite Man out of the restaurant and demanded to know why he allowed his parents to mistreat him, but he meekly said that he had no choice; they were his parents. They then emerged, offering to have dinner with Ivy again and to handle the reservations themselves so that Kite Man need not cloud his mind with "simple tasks". This enrages Ivy and prompts her to launch into an angry tirade against his parents in favor of Kite Man, making out with him passionately as they walk away in a cold rage.
"What do you really want?"
Mid-makeout, Ivy notices a giant Boom Tube in the sky, which Kite Man immediately identifies as being over the Gotham Mall. Alarmed and fearful for Harley, Ivy had Kite Man fly them into a bloody battlefield. Ivy made her way through the chaos to find Harley herself, resplendent in demonic armor and preparing to finish off Gordon once and for all. She asked if this much destruction and death was what Harley wanted. At the same time, Harley looked at her lustfully, which made her realize that it wasn't what she wanted, so Harley destroyed her scepter and released the Parademons, quitting the field.
Harley told Ivy that this had all been a distraction and she desperately needed to tell Ivy something. Although Ivy welcomed it, Kite Man arrived just before Harley could talk, wrapping Ivy in his arms and singing her praises. Bashful, Ivy affirmed that she couldn't stand by while his parents abused him, at which point she kissed him in front of Harley's ashen face. After Kite Man left, Ivy tried to resume the conversation, but Harley was devastated and could only lie about wanting to plan Ivy's bachelorette party.
"Bachelorette"
- Main article: Bachelorette
Ivy was bemused by Harley's tidiness with managing the bachelorette party, although she was uncomfortable when Harley hugged her for too long and even creepily sniffed her hair. On Themyscira proper, Ivy appreciated her efforts but asked Harley if everything was alright since she seemed unlike herself. Still, Harley assured her she just wanted to give her the best time. Ivy noted that the women present (Harley excepted) were not actually her friends, so much as random women she glommed onto throughout her life. However, later on she noticed that they were acting in fine spirits, so she thanked Harley for making her "awful" friends enjoy themselves. After dinner, Eris suggested they visit Hedonikka, an island with men and the typical bachelorette environment with male strippers.
Shocked
Later at Hedonikka, Ivy became drunk and revealed that she knew Harley was coercing her friends to behave. Still, now they genuinely were having a good time thanks to her, so Ivy glowed with an appreciation for Harley's efforts and affirmed that they were best friends. It wasn't long afterward that they succumbed to their lowered inhibitions and had sex, waking up out of a drunken stupor the next morning in the same bed. Ivy promptly panicked, calling it a mistake, and fled the room, trying to get off the island, but there was no transportation out until the weekend was over, so she barricaded herself in her room to wait it out.
"The Cobb Squad!"
Harley, attempting to salvage the weekend, eventually convinced Ivy to come out to at least enjoy the rest of her bachelorette party. All together, Harley revealed that Eris, the hotel manager, was conspiring against the Amazons and told them her plan all along: to kill Eris to save Themyscira, thus saving the island and its natural resources, the perfect bachelorette activity for Ivy. Ivy was pleased and could not wait to help defend the environment. She barged in on Eris and proudly revealed her new Cobb Squad tattoo, although she soon realized that no one else got the matching tattoo. Annoyed, she waded into the fight and defeated Eris, freeing Queen Hippolyta, who promptly threw a massive party for them all.
At the party, Ivy thanked Harley, saying this had been her dream vacation, admitting that Harley knew her better than anyone, and was glad she came out of her room. However, with her inhibitions lowered again, she ended up sleeping with Harley, sputtering incoherently when she woke up about the mistake they made for the second time. However, Harley questioned why they couldn't be together, asserting they could be closer than ever before and have fun adventures like this all the time. She asked Ivy to think about it before departing.
- ❝ Okay, I've thought about what you said and this weekend was so special, amazing really. And you're right, that we have had these high highs together. But, Harley, you run from one thing to the next and... at some point that's gonna be me. And, the truth is, I trust you with my life... but I don't trust you with my heart. ❞
- — Ivy turns Harley down
Poison Ivy chooses Kite Man
Ivy thought about Harley's proposal until their plane landed back in New New Gotham, whereupon she told Harley her decision: that while she can trust Harley with her life, she cannot trust Harley with her heart and would still be marrying Kite Man, who himself arrives at that very moment to fly away with her to chill on the couch for a while together. He takes her up in his arms as she stares back at Harley's pleading face but is resolved to go with Kite Man, so he flies away with her, leaving Harley alone on the ground.
"A Fight Worth Fighting For"
- Main article: A Fight Worth Fighting For
As Kite Man and Poison Ivy were looking at wedding venues through the Parademon-infested city, Kite Man questioned if she wanted to postpone the wedding, which she made abundantly clear she didn't, exclaiming she needed to move forward so she could "leave some things behind" lest they "catch up" to her, and also that she wanted to marry him. Despite her clear insincerity in the latter statement, Kite Man was touched by her words. Later, they go to the dress-fitting, but Kite Man is concerned that Harley should be the one to pick out the dress with her, that he shouldn't see it until the wedding day as per tradition, and questions if anything happened between them at the bachelorette party. Ivy brushes off his concerns about her and Harley by saying he's better at it than Harley anyway.
Mind-controlled Ivy comes for Harley
After two Parademons arrived and ruined her $13,000 dress, Ivy became enraged, killed the Parademons, and came to Doctor Psycho with a vengeance in mind, saying she was fine sitting this one out until this started messing with her wedding. Doctor Psycho was supremely unimpressed by her threats, taking over her mind to send her after Harley. She went to Bethany's house, where she found Harley, who was initially happy to see her until she coldly announced her intention to kill her.
"Lovers' Quarrel"
- Main article: Lovers' Quarrel
Under Doctor Psycho's control, Ivy mindlessly attacked Harley until Kite Man swooped down and saved her. Doctor Psycho then redeployed her to face off against the Justice League along with Clayface and King Shark. Poison Ivy briefly held off Wonder Woman until Clayface consumed her, allowing Ivy to knock Batman aside. As soon as Wonder Woman freed herself from Clayface, Ivy threw a car at her, knocking her aside so she could throw another car at Batman. She then contended with Superman until Harley distracted him long enough for her to try and reach Ivy. Unhearing, Ivy swatted her aside with a vine, allowing Superman to toss her away from her plants through the air.
Doctor Psycho speaks through Poison Ivy
Landing in a bed of plants, she had the plant she landed on get up and run away, a living palanquin, as Superman pursued. She brought him to Riddler University, where she had many plants to work with, forming a colossal column that crashed down onto Superman. Harley Quinn arrived again, trying to reach her, so Ivy wrapped herself in agile plants and kidnapped Harley, fleeing for Wayne Tower. Once there, Batman stole Harley away from her, Superman destroyed her plants, and Wonder Woman captured her, ending the battle. As the Justice League got ready to send her to the Phantom Zone, they were interrupted by Doctor Psycho, who started speaking through Ivy and releasing her pheromones on the Justice League, making them all fall in love with each other.
With the Justice League distracted, Ivy once again captured Harley, this time bringing her to the Gotham Mall. There, Kite Man came before her and kissed her in an attempt to break Doctor Psycho's spell with "true love", but it had no effect, so Ivy punched him unconscious. She then fought Harley at Doctor Psycho's command, getting Harley in a stranglehold as she tried to crush her windpipe. Before she could, Harley kissed her, which successfully broke Doctor Psycho's hold on her just long enough for Harley to put the anti-mind-control device in Ivy's ear. She then captured Doctor Psycho with vines while Harley uselessly smashed his helmet.
"I'd rather risk our friendship than pretend these feelings aren't real."
Harley then comes before Ivy, taking her hand and once again lamenting her feelings towards her. She implores her to take a leap of faith and be with her. Ivy seems to consider her words, but before she can respond, Kite Man himself rises from unconsciousness. He comes forward wondering what happened, at which point Doctor Psycho enacts vicious revenge, revealing Ivy's infidelity to Kite Man and all of Gotham by projecting her memory of her and Harley at the bachelorette party onto the sky. Poison Ivy can only watch in horror as her betrayal is revealed, and Kite Man is torn apart inside.
"Something Borrowed, Something Green"
- Main article: Something Borrowed, Something Green
"I hate that I hurt you. You know, you deserve everything."
Poison Ivy managed to convince Kite Man to at least hear her out and emphatically apologized to him for her infidelity, calling "that Harley stuff" a "stupid fling and a mistake". However, Kite Man could see the lay of the land and bluntly told her not to marry him if her heart wasn't in it, but she insisted that she did want to marry him (although she couldn't name a metal album that he'd like). What she was able to do was get him the reservation at the Old Gotham Corn Factory that he wanted so badly, having Frank the Plant kill Condiment King and his fiancée, Becca for the spot. This overwhelmed him, so she gave him time to consider, saying it's "waiting for you" if he wanted it.
"I'm saying I don't want you to be here"
Kite Man eventually agreed, so the wedding began, and Ivy even invited Harley to attend as a bridesmaid. However, when she found Harley, she was standing over an unconscious photographer and venue rep - one of whom she personally punched out. Enraged, Ivy dragged Harley into a private room and harangued her for punching out her wedding staffers, ruining her wedding, and believing someone as duplicitous as Two-Face. She ranted about not being able to take time to reflect on her own feelings as she was constantly managing everyone else's and with Harley "cold-cocking all my goddamn vendors". Defeated, she eventually told Harley to leave.
At the wedding ceremony, she was alarmed when Kite Man spoke of having four children and said out loud that she had not considered that vision for the future before failing to remember her vows and being forced to read them from a notecard. However, a commotion between Harley and Jennifer caught everyone's attention, even as Harley assaulted one of the caterers, who turned out to be a police officer undercover. Alarmed, the priest rushed to the I Do's, with Kite Man and Poison Ivy hurriedly agreeing. To her shock, the priest turned out to be Commissioner Gordon, who declared them "under arrest" as guards and media flooded the room. Ivy tried to get them out using the flower life but could not control them as they were plastic. The plastic bouquet she held then exploded in her face, gassing her into unconsciousness.
- Harley Quinn
Well, people change.
- Poison Ivy
Yeah, yeah, people do change. I mean, look at you. What you did for me today. You, you showed me the Harls I always wanted to see, you know?
- Harley Quinn
You-you don't think I'm chaotic and crazy and make a bunch of messes?
- Poison Ivy
No, you definitely do that but you're trying to grow, and actually doing it. And that, I mean, for me that's what matters.
- Harley Quinn
I love you, Ive.
- [Ivy pauses and then smiles.]
- Poison Ivy
I love you too, Harls.
— Ivy finally confesses her love.
Happily ever after
Ivy was then handcuffed together with Kite Man, but Harley managed to get them both out of the venue to (relative) cover just outside. There, Harley uncuffed them and offered to marry them on the spot. Ivy readily agreed, but Kite Man refused; he declared in no uncertain terms that he knew Ivy's heart wasn't in it and he wasn't the right person for her, and so left her alone on the earth, crying, with chaos all around her as he flew up into the air. Ivy and Harley then fled the area, despondently saying she'd been denying parts of herself. She praised Harley for changing and doing what she could to save her wedding. Harley once more said she loved her, and this time, Ivy smiled and finally admitted she loved her too. They crashed through the corn factory, kissed as they sailed through the air, and then drove off into the sunset.

"Journey to Love"
- Main article: Journey to Love
As Ivy and Harley were chased by the GCPD on Harley Quinn Highway, Harley had Ivy take over the wheel while she recapped what led them to this point while stealing a police car. When Harley returned, Ivy made a ramp out of trees for them to take and then dissolved it just as Gordon's car reached it, making him fall through the air until Ivy reluctantly saved him by tying his car up in vines before yelling, "DON'T SAY I NEVER DID ANYTHING FOR YOU, ASSHOLE!". They made their way towards Gotham Mall, with Ivy being quieter than usual, making Harley question what was wrong. However, Ivy dismissed her, insisting she was fine.
When they arrived at the mall, Harley showed off her room, and they sat down to watch the news only to find out that the wedding was being broadcast; thus, millions of people saw Kite Man dump Ivy. Overwhelmed and upset, Ivy angrily destroyed the TV and stalked out, requesting time to herself when Harley tried to go after her. Ivy went to the bathroom, expressing her remorse for hurting "so many people" and asking herself why she couldn't have kept pretending to love Kite Man and regretting that she fell for Harley before breaking down in tears. Harley soon found her crying and asked if she was okay, to which, again, she lied and said she got frustrated with her zipper being stuck. Harley helped her out of her dress, and the two returned to Harley's room, where they had sex while affirming they loved each other.
Ivy takes out her frustrations
Afterward, Harley again asked if Ivy was okay, still sensing something was wrong. This time, Ivy admitted she had a lot to process from the day but assured her that she was fine, again saying she loved Harley. However, Ivy then got a text alert saying that Gordon had sworn to hunt them down, and she realized they needed to flee as this was the first place he would look. Harley suggested going on a road trip to the lairs of Nightfall, Killer Frost, and Livewire, all of whom were arrested during the wedding, to "hide from the police and spread chaos". Ivy was initially reluctant but then agreed, stating she'd probably regret it. Ivy then got a change of clothes from a "Millennial Store," she and Harley packed up and got ready to leave. While Harley went to retrieve something, Ivy was left alone by the car with the "JUST MARRIED" sign and angrily ripped it off, lamenting that she failed. She then waited for Harley, who soon jumped in the car, along with her Hyenas Bud and Lou, exclaiming their next stop was at Selina's.

Ivy's anxieties
Ivy and Harley drove towards Catwoman's place to ask her to look after the hyenas while they went on their road trip together. As they were approaching Selina's neighborhood, Ivy started to feel uneasy. She shared her suspicions of Commissioner Gordon being on their tail with Harley and was thankful that Harley believed and trusted her judgment. Distracted, she almost ran over two old ladies who castigated them. Harley was enamored with the sight, seeing herself and Ivy decades in the future, which only made Ivy panic about said future, leaving Harley slightly hurt at the dismissal.
At Selina's Cathouse, Ivy disapproved upon discovering that Harley hadn't warned Catwoman of their arrival and was pissed at Harley's lack of manners, almost as much as Catwoman was, finding them on her doorstep. Nevertheless, They were let into her luxurious apartment, but Ivy was embarrassed and annoyed when Harley quickly made herself at home by jumping around and lying on the sofa. Ivy and Catwoman talked in the kitchen, begging her to look after the animals as a favor. Catwoman wanted to know everything about Ivy's situation, but before Ivy could finish confiding her fears about the relationship, Gordon and the GCPD showed up outside the house.
When they refused to surrender themselves, the furious Gordon threw a grenade into the building, causing destruction and even more chaos. Full of remorse about her part in the situation, Ivy decided to stay behind and buy time for the other two to escape. She grew increasingly anxious about her mistakes as she used her powers to shield them. As Ivy was shot in the arm, Harley returned to help her, using a whip to swing them to safety, and they both escaped higher up in the building. Gordon was about to throw another grenade when Batman intervened, allowing them to slip away. They made their way out the window with a vine created by Ivy and ones back on the ground, Harley and Ivy left Bud and Lou with Catwoman and took off in their car with Gordon following closely behind. However, he is interrupted by Batman again, and the two women get away and drive out of Gotham.

Stopping in Blüdhaven, Harley and Ivy took a break at a roadside restaurant. Ivy urged Harley to keep a low profile so as not to be recognized. Unfortunately, Harley was followed into the bathroom by two women who wanted their fifteen minutes of fame by lying to the police and telling them Harley had taken the whole restaurant hostage. Ivy intervened by tying the women up in vines, but not before they could call the police. Ivy berated Harley for the situation, even though Harley insisted she hadn't done anything. Harley sadly asked why Ivy didn't believe her, making Ivy realize she had overreacted and apologized.
As they hurried to get out ahead of the police arriving, they were helped by a kind employee called Reign, who affirmed her support and got them out by the backdoor. Just as they were about to leave, however, they were confronted by Nightwing, who was sent to the scene by Batman. As they explained the situation, Nightwing let them go. Ivy held Harley in her arms and used her arms to swing through the air, but Gordon, hot on their trails, soon managed to corner them, cutting off the vines. However, Nightwing stepped between them and Gordon, allowing Ivy and Harley to slip away.
Harley and Ivy then enjoyed a night out at a fancy restaurant, using make-up to disguise their identities. In the middle of their romantic evening, however, Hush butted in and began aggressively flirting with Harley, refusing to take no for an answer causing Ivy to see red. A violent fight broke out where Hush didn't stand a chance. As Ivy got Hush tied up, Carmine Falcone arrived, urging her not to waste her evening killing him. As compensation, Falcone offered to pay for their meals, a hotel honeymoon suite, and to buy out Blüdhaven Thrill Park, which they then used to torture Hush mercilessly and continue their romantic evening. After a good night, they got frisky on the hood of their car.

Ivy and Harley at the hotel
Harley and Ivy enjoyed their time together in bed at their fancy hotel suite. As they ate breakfast, they watched Tawny Young on the TV, reporting about a new villain terrorizing Detroit. Live at the scene, Mephitic, self-proclaimed "best poisonous villain", called out Ivy on TV as his inferior before beating up the heroes fighting him. As the report ends, Ivy proclaims they have taken a detour to stop him. Harley was surprised when Ivy told her she didn't want to beat him up because of his comments but to help save people from him, thinking about how she had spent the last few months hurting the people she loves.
Later that night, Harley and Ivy broke into Nightfall's house. However, Ivy worried it was wrong of them to be in her home uninvited, especially after feeling responsible for her getting her arrested after the riot at the wedding. Although Harley begged her, she relented, so they spent the night. In the morning, Harley was confronted by Livewire, Nightfall's girlfriend, who was furious, although she calmed down upon seeing Ivy. They sat down and explained their situation, and Ivy apologized. Not ready to accept her apology, explaining she broke Kite Man's heart and caused many of them to be arrested, Livewire threw them both out.
Ivy had a hard time with it and took it out on Harley, who was confused and apologizing. Ivy told her she needed time and gave her the silent treatment. They checked into a hotel, where Ivy eventually ended her silent treatment when Harley informed her she knew the location of several polluting CEOs, suggesting she took out her frustrations on them. Harley explained that they were at the hotel and then ordered room service. They invited the staff into the room, taking their clothes as disguises. Later, they arrived at the dinner with the CEOs dressed up as waiters, serving them poisoned desert which resulted in them suffering very bloody deaths.
Swarmed by animals
Following that success, they left the hotel and ran down the streets. They eventually stopped in an alley and were about to kiss when Vixen showed up. She saw right through their disguises, and a fight commenced. Wanting to end it quickly, Ivy attempted to use her pheromones on Vixen to command her to leave, but they wouldn't work, and the fight continued. However, moments later, a hoard of wild animals rushed in due to Ivy's pheromones having combined with Vixen's animal spirits, turning them into pheromones for animals. Vixen called upon her skunk spirit, flooding the area with stinking spray, and Ivy and Harley escaped with Ivy's vines after being thoroughly dosed.
"Journey to Love Part 5"
- Main article: Journey to Love Part 5
Watching from a distance, Harley angrily exclaimed she would kill Vixen for making them smell, although Ivy convinced her not to and told her they should go back to the hotel and have a bath. Ivy used her powers to carry them back to the hotel on a vine, and they entered through a window before getting in the bath together. Ivy started worrying about continuing and suggested they leave and hide in Central City. Recognizing that leaving a job half-done was not like her, Harley finally snapped at Ivy, mentioning the times she yelled at her for minor things during the trip and asked her to tell her what was wrong. Ivy tried to get Harley to drop it, but Harley only got more upset and decided to leave, stating she couldn't be with Ivy when she was like this.
Alone with her thoughts, Ivy sank into herself and began to reflect on her life, the mistakes she made with Kite Man, her relationship with Harley, and her reluctance to allow Harley into her soul. She concluded that she couldn't lose Harley or ignore her feelings anymore. She quickly went to talk to Harley, admitting that she was right and apologizing, but found that Harley was gone and had left a note, stating she loved her and urging her to at least talk to someone even if she couldn't open up to her.
- Ivy
Holy shit! Harleen? What are you doing here?
- Doctor Quinzel
How am I supposed to know? This is your doing, Pamela. If I had to take a guess, you're dealing with PTSD and you're hallucinating, or you could also be having a dissociative episode... unless you took some mushrooms.
Ivy dolled herself up to get ready to find Harley when she suddenly saw a vision of Doctor Quinzel in the mirror. She tried to get Ivy to open up about her trauma and feelings, but Ivy brushed her off and walked off to meet Harley. When she arrived at the Black Cat Lounge that Harley went to, she found people recovering from a fight. She was approached by Peaches, a stripper who befriended Harley, who told her that Mephitic had kidnaped Harley. This caused Ivy to retreat into her head where she saw the bodies of those she hurt like Catwoman, Kiteman, Nightfall, Livewire, and Harley as she exclaimed how this was all her fault and that she couldn't lose Harley. As she admitted her fear of being just like her father, uncaring and hurting those she was close to, Doctor Quinzel showed up and claimed otherwise. She offered to help her, which Ivy finally accepted, and she soon found herself at her childhood home and with Frank the Plant.
Ivy and Frank fight her father
The trio entered to find themselves at one of her worst moments, with her father scolding the much younger Ivy for not having any friends at her birthday party. Older Ivy stepped in and yelled at him before telling younger Ivy that she would have friends and even a special friend who loved her regardless of the mistakes she'd made. Ivy's father then turned into a giant demonic face that older Ivy and Frank defeated as her younger self cheered them on. After the fight, Harleen said she completed the first step and told her to get Harley. Ivy snapped back to the real world, where Peaches showed her a video of Mephitic holding Harley captive and telling Ivy that if she doesn't find and fight him in less than two hours, he will kill her. Ivy left with a determination to get Vixen's help so she could find Mephitic and Harley.

Ivy arrives at Vixen's doorstep
Ivy sent some sentient flowers to find out Vixen's location for her and again started blaming and doubting herself but was put straight by a vision of Frank. Peaches then offered her a ride, and during the car ride, Ivy's flower returned and gave her the location. At Vixen's place, Ivy attempts to pay Peaches for her troubles, but she turns her down and instead urges her to look her up after she has found Harley for a "private party", leaving Ivy blushing. Vixen was unhappy when Ivy showed up at her door, asking for help to save Harley. However, she manages to convince her by tempting her with the opportunity to be the hero who takes down Mephitic and offers her the antidote to the animal pheromones.
They started discussing the terms of their team-up when Vixen's girlfriend, Elle, showed up. Ivy began opening up about what happened, and as she tearfully begged for Vixen's help, Elle convinced her she needed to help her, to which she reluctantly agreed. Elle set Ivy up with a new outfit before she and Vixen headed out to Mephitic's lair, although Vixen mentioned she would have to turn Ivy in afterward for what she did to the CEOs. Outside Mephitic's warehouse, Vixen attempted to devise a plan, but Ivy insisted there was not enough time and headed in alone, all guns blazing. Ivy sent Dandy (a dandelion flower) to find a way into the building and let Harley know she was there to rescue her.
Goodbye kiss
There was an explosion as Mephitic readied a machine to shoot thousands of needles at Harley. Ivy entered with a small army of giant flowers attacking Mephitic's henchmen. Ivy found Harley strapped to the wall and began to free her when Mephitic approached her. Ivy angrily demanded that he let Harley go, but he refused and mutated into an even bigger form, telling her she had six minutes to say goodbye. Ivy placed her phone on the floor and kissed Harley passionately, apologizing for everything and telling her how much she loved her. Then, Ivy stepped in front of Harley and covered her with plants while a crying Harley pleaded with her not to fight alone.
With only three more minutes left, Livewire suddenly appeared out of Ivy's phone and destroyed the needles machine. At that moment, Vixen and Zatanna arrived too, fighting Mephitic while Ivy rescued Harley and lifted her and Livewire up on vines. Zatanna and Vixen defeated Mephitic with a scrubbing bath until he was cleaned down to his normal human form, which Harley mocked. Following the fight, Vixen decided not to turn Ivy and Harley in, instead stating they owed her. Jim Gordon then arrived at the scene with Tawny Young close behind, who began trying to interview the pair. Gordon then stepped forward to arrest Harley. However, Livewire provided a distraction so Harley and Ivy could escape. Later, Ivy and Harley returned to their car, heading towards their next stop: Central City.
Season 3
"Harlivy"
- Main article: Harlivy
"Let the Eat Bang Kill tour begin!"
Ivy and Harley had made themselves at home at the Fortress of Solitude, hiding from Commissioner Gordon and watching a porn parody of themselves, marveling over the fact it had only been two weeks since they got together. A hologram of Superman's dead father suddenly appeared, scolding them for being there and watching a dirty movie. He called up Superman, who appeared in his place, at which point Harley and Ivy headed out, blowing a hole in the wall and jumping aboard Wonder Woman's invisible jet. After Ivy asks what they should do next, Harley announces what she has dubbed the "Eat, Bang, Kill tour," including them traveling the world, stealing and heisting, frauding Gordon out of money, having sex, and sunbathing together.
After a successful heist at Buckingham Palace, Ivy thanked Harley for her fun trip when she discovered that Harley had kidnapped Queen Elizabeth II as a two-week anniversary gift. When Ivy didn't have the happy reaction Harley expected, Ivy assured her she did like it but worried people would be looking for her. At that moment, the British Air Force closed in on them, so they took a few quick photos with the queen before Harley kicked her out of the jet, although she insisted that she had an invisible parachute.
Waking up at the jet a few days later, Harley met Ivy by leaning over and announcing she had another surprise for Ivy for their 16th day anniversary. She blindfolded her and brought her to Edin, a place Ivy created years ago in her attempt to terraform the planet with pre-historic plants. However, Ivy was less than thrilled upon discovering where she was, explaining she thought of the place as a failure as she only managed to grow one acre. However, Harley convinced her to stay for a bit, and as Ivy looked around at all the flourishing plant life, she quickly started enjoying herself. However, they were soon interrupted by a call from King Shark and Clayface, who needed help breaking out of Arkham Asylum.
As they headed towards Gotham, Ivy suspected that Gordon was using them as bait, so they hired the adult film stars who played them in the porn they watched earlier to pose as them, buying them some extra time. Harley and Ivy managed to sneak into Arkham and were reunited with Clayface and King Shark. As the crew made their way through the hallways, Ivy accidentally bumped into a woman who then insulted her, causing Harley to stop and yell at her, although Ivy urged her to hurry up. Afterward, they dropped Clayface and King Shark off at Gotham Mall before heading back to Edin; although Ivy made it clear Harley could stay and hang with her friends if she wanted, she insisted on coming.
Ivy fights Plastique
Back in Edin, Harley revealed she had kidnapped the woman from Arkham, intent on torturing her for disrespecting Ivy. Although Ivy was not pleased, realizing the person in question was Amanda Waller, head of the Suicide Squad, asking Harley why she was creating this kind of drama right now. Waller is unfazed by Harley's threats, telling them about the Suicide Squad; at this point, the villain Plastique shows up to save Waller and starts threatening to kill them. Ivy and Harley started laughing, but she soon revealed the explosives hidden inside her coat. A fight commenced, finally ending when Ivy managed to tie Plastique down on the ground with her vines. Plastique blew herself up, spilling her guts all over Ivy and Harley.
- ❝ Harley and Ivy take over the fucking world! ❞
- — Poison Ivy
With the dust settled, a dejected Ivy looked around her at the previous beautiful garden which all the explosions had destroyed. Harley tried to comfort her, apologizing for causing all this by kidnapping Amanda Waller. Ivy assured her that it was fine, convinced the whole thing was doomed to fail regardless and sure she would never be able to terraform the world and reclaim it from humans as she dreamed. However, Harley encouraged her that she could do it with her help, telling her she was all in and wanted to help her achieve her goals. Ivy eventually relented as Harley assured her she believed in her before they kissed and embraced each other as Harley gratified her on their 19th anniversary.
"There's No Ivy In Team"
- Main article: There's No Ivy In Team
Ivy presents her plan
Ivy and Harley arrived back in Gotham City on the same bus as Nightwing, stealing his car as their ride before crashing it through the wall of Gotham Mall, where they were reunited with Clayface, Frank the Plant and King Shark. After shrugging off Frank's complaints about their cheap postcard from Paris, Harley announced that Ivy had devised an amazing new plan. However, Ivy, self-conscious about Harley's vamping, began to ramble under pressure and quickly excused herself. After collecting herself, Ivy showed the crew a slideshow of her plan: use an "Edin serum" to reanimate and "supercharge" all the dead plant matter underneath Gotham to overtake and restore the city. She explained that they would need to steal a prehistoric mosquito specimen from the Gotham Natural History Museum and directed them to the extremely large binders that intricately detailed all their respective roles in the upcoming heist. When the members started asking questions, annoyed, she once again directed them to the binders.

How is an Ivy-plan even more of a disaster than a Harley-plan?
- Harley Quinn
It's a surprise to me too.
As she wrapped up, Bane suddenly barged in, pumped himself with Venom, and demanded they return his wedding gift of an expensive pasta-maker since the wedding was called off. Ivy claimed it was in poor taste to ask for it back, while the others claimed no idea where it was. As Bane angrily left, the group got ready for their heist. However, Ivy's plan quickly began to fall apart at the museum when they were spotted by a pair of guards that Ivy hadn't anticipated. As they hid from gunfire, Ivy told the crew to run, and she used her vines to get up to a vent leading to the exhibit with the mosquito. Ivy gets the mosquito and is joined by the others, but she becomes overwhelmed by their overlapping questions and gags them with vines before using larger ones to carry them out of the building, guards still shooting after them.
Successful heist
Back at the mall, Ivy's run-down friends looked on as she announced the heist a success before finishing up the serum. She then let a drop fall through a crack in the concrete and was amazed as a small resurrected dandelion emerged from the crack. Just as she started rejoicing, it began to swell up and mutate, eventually jumping into a barrel of acid, killing itself out of agony. Dejected, Ivy hid in a giant flower in a remote part of the mall. When Harley came to cheer her up, Ivy angrily beat herself up for screwing up and concluded she needed to work on her plan alone — including Harley, who left hurt while Ivy retreated into her flower.
Later, Ivy followed Clayface under the pretense that Harley has been abducted, however, they were met by Harley who revealed it was a set up to get Ivy to do an escape room with them in order to bring the group closer together. Ivy begrudgingly agreed to the activity (because Harley had already forged her signature on the release form). They were soon joined by Nelvin, an "escape room extraordinaire", causing Ivy to conclude she will not spend an hour with him, hitting a button which results in Nelving being impaled and killed by a death trap. Shocked that the place is real, The Riddler suddenly appeared on a TV screen, revealing they had 45 minutes to solve the room's puzzle, or they would be squashed to death (although if they won they would get a group photo and a personalized mug).
The crew started frantically wrecking the place, looking for a way out. Harley tried to reassure Ivy of her leadership ability, causing Ivy to snap and telling her to stop vamping her up as she was not a good leader. Ivy angrily hits a candle stick that triggers the rooms to spin and shift, resulting in Ivy being separated from the group and ending up in a room with Nightwing, who himself was there with the Bat Family for similar reasons. Riddler appeared on a screen, challenging Ivy and Nightwing to escape via "a nimble checkmate"; a chess-playing robot appeared, and the ceiling descended downward. Ivy looked unamused as Nightwing confidently stepped up to play, noting his Mensa-worthy IQ.
- ❝ Riddler's shit about a checkmate. He didn't say it was us doing the checking, mate. Ugh, yeah, I'm gonna kill myself too ❞
- — Poison Ivy
Nightwing guides Ivy to failure
Nightwing managed to defeat the robot, but instead of saving them, the ceiling grew spikes and continued to descend. Ivy blamed and ridiculed Nightwing, who started to berate himself and, in his meltdown, jumped to the top of a bookcase so the spikes would kill him faster. As Ivy grew increasingly annoyed by his self-pity and constant chatter about failure, Ivy suddenly had an epiphany, realizing they would have to fail the game to escape. She told Nightwing to stall the ceiling physically while guiding her to the quickest way to lose. The robot got the checkmate, and the descending roof stilled just in time before they were crushed, causing the rooms to shift back to normal.
Ivy and Harley ran into each other's arms, expressing her amazement at Harley finding a place that allowed her to face her exact issue: "embracing failure to win". Harley assured her she did not need to be perfect before the couple kissed, although they were quickly interrupted by King Shark's panicked screams about their impending death. Ivy asserted that she would find a way out, but at that moment, Batman solved the puzzle, and they were all released. Back home, Ivy made another attempt at the serum, assuring herself that if she failed, that would be alright. Though it initially seemed to work, the revived flower soon started to melt into a pile of goo, exploding onto Frank and running down the crack in the floor, causing the whole building to shake. Ivy grabbed Harley and told them all to run as the building exploded. They managed to make it out unscathed and watched in shock as Frank emerged from the rubble with an altered body, glowing and levitating.

"A Thief, a Mole, an Orgy"
- Main article: A Thief, a Mole, an Orgy
Harley visits Ivy in her workspace to join the crew in going to Mama Macaroni's, but Ivy declines as work is her main priority. She leads Harley out, stating she needs to increase Frank's seed production, only for Shark and Clayface to barge in and reveal that Sy is now in Catwoman's smartphone with internet access. Rejecting the offer to ask Sy anything, Ivy asks to be able to work in peace, and after they leave, Frank gives her a back massage.
Later, Ivy was irked by the noise Harley and the crew made with their musical instruments for Harley's new band. Hence, Ivy asked them to tone down the volume, which they did. Frank rebuked her for it, but Ivy argued it was necessary. Once the crew plays loud music again, Ivy intervenes, telling the group that the instruments they are playing are off-limits.
Soon, Harley bothers Ivy to pick up a book and use the toilet, which annoys Ivy. This causes Ivy to lie to Harley, saying that Catwoman has said no one can use her toilet ever again. This causes Harley to destroy all the cameras in a rage.
Eventually, Ivy perfects the serum and suggests they celebrate at Mama Macaroni's while Frank is in a fugue state. However, when they return, they find the place ransacked and Frank missing. Ivy asks Sy if he saw who did it; however, he didn't, and when he checks the security footage, he discovers that the cameras were destroyed.
The only clue left behind by the alleged culprits was a brooch behind. Harley recognizes it, and she, alongside Harley, visits the Joker to figure out more about it. At the time, Joker was helping his stepson Benicio with his homework. They learn from Joker that the brooch belongs to the Court of Owls, and he gives them each a mask and the password to enter the place where they're located.
Arriving at the Court of Owls manor and witnessing the ritualistic sacrifice portrayed by a piñata, Harley and Ivy split up to figure out who may have stolen Frank as he'd be covered in Frank's pollen. Ivy questions the High Owl person about what he did two hours ago, and he answers, teaching his kindergarten class. The revelation irks Ivy, who walks away in disgust.
Soon, Harley and Ivy confront each other for the other, and Harley loses it over Ivy's hook-up four years ago with Catwoman. As they talk, a waiter hands them a lubricant by the Legion of Dildos, which was for the sex orgy part of the night.

"It's a Swamp Thing"
- Main article: It's a Swamp Thing
Meditating on a couch, Ivy tries to connect to the Green to locate Frank; however, Harley's munching on chips disrupts her concentration. Even so, she admits that connecting to the Green is more difficult than she thought. Hence, Harley quits eating, allowing Ivy to retry again and finally locate Frank, who was tied to a table and unwillingly experimented on. This alarms Ivy, whom Harley later tries to calm down as she laments being unable to access the Green more easily. Her efforts are futile, and Ivy, now wanting chamomile tea, approaches Clayface and Shark, asking who drank all of it. Shark, who was drinking a cup, offers his cup, noting he took a sip, but warning him that he tends to backwash. Not wanting to be further stressed out, Ivy tells Harley she's willing to take a break, and Harley reveals their prior commitment with Nora from two months ago. Despite Ivy wanting to cancel, Harley insists, and to their dismay, Nora enters the apartment sitting on whom she called her driver's shoulders and claims they did cocaine up their butts.
As Nora fools around in the apartment with her driver, Ivy notes the imperativeness of finding Frank, and Nora offers assistance. On their behalf, Harley declines, and Ivy suggests getting Swamp Thing's help instead, who she believes can find Frank easily. Harley suggests that Harley contact him and have him find Frank, but Ivy notes that he hates her. Nora offers to freeze him as a way to make him help Ivy, which Ivy is open to, and discloses that he's located in New Orleans. However, Ivy insists it's not a party, but a serious mission to locate Frank, to which Harley and Nora agree.
However, once they reach New Orleans, the first thing Nora does when they exit the airport is flash her chest to the crowd there and demand beads.
That night, Ivy, Harley, and Nora are at a bar called the Phoenix Corpse, which Nora complains about. Talking to Harley, Ivy notes she hopes to find someone who can help them find Swamp Thing and, for now, wishes to keep a low profile. At that moment, John Constantine appears from the shadows, claiming he's heard they're looking for something from the swamp. Ivy demands that Constantine tell them where Swamp Thing is, but Constantine would only agree if they can beat him in a drinking game. Although Harley was up to it, Ivy tried to dissuade her, citing her past relationship with him. It's Nora's lamentable statement about being jealous of Ivy for having Frank and not having friends of her own, as they all liked the old Nora. Because of this, Ivy agrees to do the drinking contest with Constantine.
The next day, Ivy and Harley wake up on the bar floor to Harley's phone ringing. Nora was on the line and had managed to out-drink Constantine and discover Swamp Thing's location. She suggests they check Constantine's pocket for a map that has Swamp Thing's location.

At Swamp Thing's cabin, Ivy rejects Swamp Thing's offering of chai tea and asks how Linda is, but Swamp Thing notably says they got divorced. Nora then exits the cabin and reveals that after connecting so well with Swamp Thing, she had sex with him. Once Swamp Thing returned to his cabin, Ivy told Nora she needed to freeze Swamp Thing so they could find Frank. Although, Nora didn't think she could after the wonderful time she spent with him, and Ivy cringed at the details. Still, she coaxes Nora to do it, and when she returns to the cabin, Ivy complains about the humidity ruining her hair. However, Harley compliments it and tries to soothe her grief, and although Ivy appreciates it, their conversation is interrupted by Nora, who announces they'll be getting beignets. Nora then explains what led up to the reason why.
Afterward, the group waited behind a long line for a food truck that served beignets. There, Ivy scorned Nora for not asking him where Frank was, stating she was his boyfriend. Surprisingly to Swamp Thing, she revealed that she was not his boyfriend. This caused Swamp Thing to lose his cool and go primal, transforming the surrounding Swamp into a form of his malevolence and despair. Fleeing through the swamp, the group dodges and attacks the various thorny vines that attack them. Amid this, Ivy complained that Swamp Thing was having a temper tantrum, despite being a grown man, and was too sensitive.
This triggers Swamp Thing, who entraps the group in a dome shaped like his head. There, Swamp Thing accosts Ivy for her self-nature, which leads to their stopping being friends. However, Ivy thinks it was because he wanted to destroy humanity. Swamp Thing confirms that was a part of it, but the real part was because of how he listened to her for hours on end complaining about humanity as a whole. To make matters worse, whenever he tried to talk about his impending divorce with Linda, she'd try to find an excuse to leave. Swamp Thing then accuses Ivy of not understanding how it feels to lose someone and calls her extremely selfish. Hearing this makes Ivy emotional, and she forlornly explains that she originally wanted to speak to him to locate Frank; however, she's unable to locate him in the Green because she's not strong enough. Ivy opened up to Swamp Thing, and he thanked her and un-transformed the swamp.
Later, at Swamp Thing's cabin, Nora self-reflects on her actions and believes it is her way of trying to get her back on track. After sharing a bonding moment with Harley, she learns from Swamp Thing that her fears prevented her from properly accessing the Green and now she can.
Knowing this now, Ivy accesses the Green and learns that Frank was captive by Bruce Wayne.

Entering the Hall of Doom, Ivy passes by Killer Croc, Killer Frost, and Calendar Man. She takes the elevator and runs into Lex, with whom she exchanges greetings. As the elevator ascends, Ivy details her new plans as CEO as Lex is preoccupied with his phone. Suggesting they should do a ceremonial power exchange, Lex declines as he has immediate business on the moon. To that point, Ivy notes her hope his ship isn't shaped like a giant penis, which Lex retorts the scientific reason for that.
Reaching the Executive Level, Ivy is pushed off by Lex, who then gives her some words of confidence, and Ivy responds with something she regrets as terrible.
Entering the main hall, Ivy enters to see Toyman, Metallo, Reverse-Flash, Black Manta, Doctor Trap, Snowflame, Solomon Grundy, Sinestro, and Gorilla Grodd sitting at the table. Grodd immediately tells Ivy off, demanding that she move so he can have a perfect view of the new CEO, and Ivy informs the group that it's her.
The room then uproars, and Ivy tries to mediate the situation. Grodd accuses Ivy of wanting them to stop brewing coffee with beer in the break room. Ivy confirms that notion, stating it's gross. She then informs the group that the new plan is "socially conscious evil" and uses a Venus fly trap to pass the dossier to everyone. However, everyone leaves, and Metallo claims that if they wanted a female boss, they'd all get girlfriends, and Grodd exclaims how her work ethic isn't "chill".
Once everyone left the room, Ivy sat at the table and squeezed the ball she had caught. She revealed that it was a grenade and tossed it aside before it exploded.
As Ivy writes something on her whiteboard, Frank complains about how the lighting will cause him to photosynthesize everything. She claims she put in a work order, but not to get his hopes up. Ivy then explained that all of the supplies she needed for her plan were checked out when she visited the supply shop there. Just then, a worker arrives to deliver the outfit she needs for her plan to blow up an oil rig, but she gets a bikini instead that reads, "I'm a dumb boss".
Despite Frank complimenting the bottom, Ivy laments her new subordinates' insubordination and looks outside to see Snowflame, Metallo, Man-Bat, and Black Manta laughing at her expense. Hence, Frank suggests she put her oil rig plan aside and focus on disciplining her subordinates there. Ivy declines that idea, but as she explains why, a copier machine is tossed inside the office by the group outside. Seeing Frank's point now, Ivy mentions Harley killing someone named Sheryl Sandberg last year in Jacksonhole and wonders if she survived. Frank corrects her, stating it is a guy named Andy Sandberg, so Ivy decides to numb her brain for the next four hours with TikTok videos.
Ivy watches a TikTok video featuring Veronica Cale discussing managing people in Catwoman's apartment. She then scoffs at the ad featuring Clayface going to perform in Vegas and wonders if he was wearing her scarf. Harley then barges into the place and, after jumping on her lap and kissing her, she details her first day as a hero to Ivy. Although Ivy takes it seriously, it becomes obvious that Harley is trying to interrogate her to narc on who the killer is.

However, Ivy has her plans to deal with them, and Harley offers to role-play differently, and the two then make out.
In the L.O.D. breakroom, Ivy offers vegan donuts to Grodd, Metallo, Man-Bat, Snowflame, and Bane, all of whom take a donut. She then tries to level with them all, speaking about how she can relate to their upset with the recent changes and asking for their feedback in her office.
Later, Ivy listened to all of their suggestions and gave them her stamp of approval. For Bane's plan, she left the quantity of explosives that Bane wanted blank so he could request as much as he desired.
Visiting the supply center, Ivy chats with the clerk and requests some items, including her plan involving an oil rig, but the clerk reveals that Bane blew it up. Learning this, Ivy groaned, vented her frustrations in the bathroom where Snowflame was, and greeted her as boss. Ivy then told Snowflame that the bathroom was for the executive ladies, but Snowflame said the boys decided it was dumpers only. Nora then joins them and asks why Ivy is in the executive ladies' room. Ivy informs her that she's the executive woman, prompting Nora to compliment her. They then chat until Snowflame interrupts it, and Nora chastises him for it, calling him "Snowflake". Snowflame corrects her, prompting Nora to tug on his pointy eyebrows, making him leave.
Impressed by Nora after she gives her a pep talk, Ivy offers to make Nora her assistant; initially, Nora refuses but agrees when Ivy threatens to change the locks in the bathroom.
Holding a meeting with the big shots in the L.O.D. from earlier that day, which now includes Killer Frost and Cheetah, Ivy asks for everyone's plans to be placed on the table. After they do that, Nora hands Ivy a flamethrower and incinerates the files. She then claims that there will be no more plans they want to make and that they will instead be doing her socially conscious evil. The villains there reject this and Man-Bat attacks her, but Ivy defends herself using the vines she manipulated there and uses them to take out Grodd as well. She then finishes off Metallo and sends him flying out of the building. Snowflame was next, but his stomach acted up causing him to leave abruptly, and Bane then entered the room. He notices the damage done, and Ivy orders him to clean up the oil in the harbor, which, after a mean glare from him, convinces him to do it.

Ivy tried attacking him only to realize that her plant powers were useless without the sun. Despite vowing to stop him, Lex denotes that everyone who needs the sun shall remain weak forever.
Scaling down LexCorp, Harley, Ivy, and the Clone talk about the plan on how to handle Lex, but Ivy's malaise leaves her weak and vulnerable. Reaching the board room, the clone offers to break into it, but can't because of the reinforced glass. They're all cut loose by Lex's henchmen, and Ivy laments being powerless on the ground, making it impossible for her to stop Lex.
Hence, Harley's clone suggests convincing the LexCorp board of directors to vote Lex out as CEO; however, to her dismay, she thought it was Harley and not her clone who suggested that.
Receiving chlorophyll treatment from her office, Ivy sits on a couch beside Nora and asks Talia how to proceed to get one last vote that she needs. Talia suggests that she step up her game and convince a man known as Clegg to be the deciding vote. Despite loathing golf for all it stands for, Ivy agrees to do it, but before that, Talia insists that she get some UV treatment.
With only one vote left to win, Ivy appears at the 69th annual Gotham Celebrity Golf Pro-Am and tries to schmooze with Clegg. Although interrupted by Lex, who tries to do the same, Ivy seemingly connects with Clegg, who enjoys a woman playing the sport. Lex then informs Ivy that he's privy to her coup attempt and will stop her at all costs. Clegg then asks what Ivy's handicap is, but Ivy says it's social anxiety and realizes he meant in golf, which she asks for him to help explore.
Following Clegg's advice, Ivy gets a hole-in-one on her first try, and Lex laments this. Ivy then accidentally kills him. Ivy tells Harley that she killed Clegg when she gets a call from Harley about how she killed Nightwing.
When Flash turns in time to prevent knocking out Psycho, Ivy kills Clegg again, only by impaling him with her golf club.
Tawny later interviews her about what had happened, and in the middle of this, Bane headbutts her to the ground, and Lex leans over her, disparaging her.
During the LexCorp board meeting, Ivy votes in favor of ousting Lex as CEO of his company and although it was a tie, Devora Macklewaithe Clegg's husband votes alongside Ivy. The vote forced Lex to shut down his machine, but as Lex leaves for space, Ivy admits that something feels off.

Eventually, Harley meets up with Ivy, and the two decide to attend Lex's party and crash it. However, the attempt to crash Lex's party reveals that Lex in his warsuit had it modified to emulate Superman's powers, which he stole after capturing him. In his fight against Ivy and Harley, he humiliates the two in front of everyone, including her business partners, who have severed ties with Ivy for making a scene at the party.
Frustrated at how her job interferes with her true goals, she took a page from Harley and quit with a bang.

Ivy uses her powers on the Tavern Over The Green to change it into a lush green area; one of the plants there knocks off her diamond, which releases Eclipso, but Harley kills him.

She later attended one of his classes, and she recalls attending one of his classes. After that, they kissed. Although Ivy wanted to get intimate, Woodrue was concerned it'd ruin his grant with the school. So they decide to take their business to the lab where they get intimate, and Ivy reveals her experiment, a plant with human DNA, which she calls Frank. Woodrue is astonished by Frank and wants to take it for his own, but Ivy refuses, stating the good it can do; however, Woodrue has other plans and tries to steal Frank but is stopped by Ivy. This led to chemicals being spilled, creating poisonous gases to fill the room, and Woodrue locked Ivy and Frank inside of them, hoping they'd die. To save herself, Ivy injected the same serum used to create Frank, transforming herself into the person she was in the present.
In the present, Ivy seemingly makes up with Woodrue and asks that he join her in the lab. It's there that Ivy gets her revenge against Woodrue by recreating the same accident that created her and forces Woodrue to experience it.

Amid her Green Initiative class, Ivy explains her plans to make Metropolis greener to the students, and Harley soon enters the class to support her. However, as the class proceeds, Ivy gets flashes of Woodrue now appearing as a mutated tree. Unable to continue her class, Ivy cuts it short and retreats to the hallway, where Harley follows her. Harley suggests they enjoy lunch together, but Ivy wants to delve into the Green and discover what her hallucinations are about.
Inside her office, Ivy sits on her desk and delves into the green. There, she lies on a field of flowers surrounded by grass and flowers. One flower leads Ivy to a great white oak tree that Ivy is impressed by. However, she is shocked to see Woodrue emerge from it and now calls himself Floronic Man.

Their doorbell rings, and it is Shaun, who ran away from school to spend time with his cool aunts. Shaun then discusses his argument with his sister Annie about their missing cat. She then sprays Shaun off of Frank and tells Ivy they can't babysit Shaun because of their plans. She calls Frank a child, too, but Frank finds that offensive. He notes that in human years, he's 10, but in plant years, he's 90.
Although Ivy is against babysitting Shaun, Harley is for it, and as soon as Harley says that, Shaun floods the area from the bathroom.
That night, Ivy, Harley, Frank, and Shaun attend Bruce's Big Pasta Dinner party and are shocked by Joker and his daughter's arrival.
Ivy later eats pasta in the dining room and compliments the sauce. She later asks Lois how Superman's sabbatical is going, prompting Lois to remark that everyone is more focused on him than her.

There, Ivy tries to distract Macaroni, but gets slammed into the ceiling instead.
Once the Macaroni incident ended, Ivy returned to their condo with Harley, Frank, and Shaun. Lois then approached Harley, asking her to become her Daily Planet assistant.

Ivy attends Frank's funeral, where, after listening to Frank's super-long video, Ivy interrupts it, vowing to kill Frank's murderer. It's then revealed that Frank had created a daughter he named Frankette whose DNA was composed of his and Ivy's.
At the condo, Ivy tries to delve into the Green to contact Frank's ghost and learn who killed him. However, Lena soon arrives and reveals that Brainiac did it. She also offers them a way onto Brainiac's ship by using her teleporter. Before they do, they leave Frankette and Shaun, who escaped from his Dad's watch again, with Bane.
From Lena's condo, Ivy and Harley use Lena's teleporter to reach Brainiac's ship. There, they split up until Harley locates Brainiac. They try to kill him by detaching the cables to his head, but fail, and Brainiac then orders his robots to destroy Metropolis.
Following Harley's idea, Ivy uses the Hyper-Ray on Brainiac, who is then encased in a glass jar. Realizing that his robots were still destroying Metropolis, Ivy demands Brainiac stop his robots, but he refuses and reveals that he didn't kill Frank, but Lena did.
In light of this, Ivy returns to Lena's condo to try to kill her; however, Lena escapes to Brainiac's ship. Ivy tries to pursue her but gets called into the Green by Frank, who pleads with Ivy to save their child, Frankette.

"Family Feud"
- Main article: Family Feud
In a perturbed state, Ivy covered the condo in her vines and was livid at Harley for allowing Lena to steal Frankette from them after Lena had Frank. Despite Harley trying to reason and wanting to help Ivy, she rejects Harley's offer in favor of doing it alone.
Visiting Bruce's penthouse, Ivy proclaims she needs to get to Lena. However, she finds him in a deep state of depression after learning about Lena's double life with Brainiac. Ivy tries to convince Bruce to get a move on, but he tries and fails to contact Lena. He tries again, but to the same result, Ivy ends the call.
Unable to handle how his relationship with Lena is going, Bruce asks Ivy for advice, citing how solid she and Harley are together. However, Ivy remarks that she's upset with Harley, causing Bruce to lament how he's always ruined relationships with people he's close to. Still, Ivy asks that Bruce lend her a rocket, which he finds offensive as not all rich billionaires have rocket ships.
As Ivy lashes out, Bruce remarks that Lena would respond similarly. Ivy realizes that Lena has a teleporter they can use; however, Bruce details that the security system he gifted her would prevent her from using it. Asking how to disable it, Bruce tells Ivy she needs to enter the override code, "BruceandLenaforever". Now privy to the code, Ivy leaves as Bruce indulges more ice cream.
At Lena's condo, Ivy uses a dandelion to break in. Inside, she's met by the sweet and jovial old lady Gail, who Ivy tells she's a friend of Lena's and was there to check up on the place. Although Gail found Ivy's sentiments sweet, Gail wanted Ivy to sign in and didn't allow her past her until she did.
Unable to stand Gail any longer, Ivy tossed aside the tablet she needed her signature from and announced that she was there to break in. In light of this, Gail revealed that she was an android, making Ivy realize that Gail was the security system. She dodged the bullets fired at her by Gail.
Meanwhile, as Harley is kidnapped by her father, he reveals that Lena paid him to keep her away from Ivy.
Using a tea bag on Gail, which Ivy uses her powers on to restrain her, Ivy successfully restrains and disables Gail only to realize that the teleporter is broken. Ivy frustratedly tells Gail that she no longer needs to follow her, but Gail claims that Lena isn't the sort of person who doesn't operate without a backup plan.
From the Skull Ship, Lena orders the automatrons to destroy Ivy.
Dodging the automatrons' lasers, Ivy takes refuge in Lena's office, where she comes across her journal. Seeing Gail by the office doorway, Ivy uses her as a shield to protect herself from the lasers and allow her to escape.
Reading through Lena's journal at the condo, Ivy is joined by Harley and Sharon, who complimented Ivy's skin color. Harley then has a heart-to-heart with Ivy over the loss of her father, Lena's goons, and how Ivy forgave Harley for their earlier spat. They then focus on Lena's journal, which reveals Lena's obsession with Lex because she wants his approval. Ivy then plans to use Lex to get back at Lena, which makes Sharon give an off-the-cuff remark reference to OZ and Lex, making her and Ivy disgusted.
Outside of Blackgate Penitentiary, Ivy and Harley break Lex out of the place and assign Sharon as the getaway driver.
Afterward, Harley, Ivy, and Sharon learn that Lena has bottled up Metropolis.
"Bottle Episode"
- Main article: Bottle Episode
Ivy, Harley, and Sharon discover that Lena has successfully bottled up Metropolis, causing Harley to rage-smash a nearby car. Ivy then tries to reason with Harley, who lists things Lena had done to them and nearly succeeded in. After making a promise to Harley, Ivy suggests they stop Lena, together... along with Sharon. Deducing that they need a way to get aboard the ship, but they cannot do so as Lena had destroyed the teleporter, Sharon's idea gives Harley an idea of who can help them.
Afterward, Ivy follows Harley to the Batcave while helping Sharon drag the unconscious Lex inside. Ivy compliments the decorations and suits that the Bat Family owns, and Harley contacts Bruce via the Batcomp while claiming Batman and Bruce are two different people.
Once Lex agrees to assist Harley's group, they ride on the Batplane to reach the Skull Ship. Riding in the backseat with Lex, Ivy provokes some small talk with Lex, asking what the box he was carrying was for. He claims it's a secret weapon to stop Lena and refuses to disclose what it is, and then Lex compliments her hair.
Arriving on the Skull Ship, she and Harley confront Lena and threaten to kill her. Lena scoffs at the threat but is shocked to learn that Lex is with them. She and Harley were upset that Lex's secret weapon was just a toy train car; however, the effort was futile, and Lena prepared to use the Hyper-Ray on them. However, Harley prevents it under the influence of Doctor Quinzel. Harley helps Lena and Lex reconcile with each other, but this causes them to turn on Harley and Ivy by using the Hyper-Ray on them and Sharon.
Now encased in a bottle, Ivy briefly argued with Sharon about their situation despite Sharon's more positive perspective. She then consoled an emotional Harley, who felt it was all her fault for what Lena had done.
"The Mess is the Point"
- Main article: The Mess is the Point
After Harley manages to get Lena and Lex into an argument about what to name Metropolis, Harley suggests that Ivy reconcile with Frankette to have her knock over the bottle they're in. However, Frankette was upset at Ivy under the presumption that she had abandoned her when Lena took her. Ivy's attempts to make amends with Frankette failed, so Sharon suggested a reverse psychology approach and told her she'll never love her again. She does this, and it causes Frankette to headbutt the bottle a few times, but Ivy stops after a cut forms on Frankette's forehead. Feeling self-conscious about what she was doing and that Frankette was now hurt, she directs Frankette's attention to the train set over on the nearby table.
Realizing the bottle is nearly off the table, Harley, Ivy, Sharon, and Brainiac, after being convinced by Sharon, use their weight as leverage to tip the bottle over and break it on the ground. Although paired with Harley, Ivy assists Brainiac by helping him reach the Hyper-Ray gun, which he uses to shrink down Lena and Lex. Both Harley and Ivy then individually knocked out the two, and after being restored to their normal size, realized that the ship is on a collision course with Kalu. To make matters worse, Brainiac refused to change its course because of the inspirational words that Sharon told him. Harley claims that the end of the play suggests that he should, but after the ship's cables reinsert themselves into Brainiac's head, he believes Harley is bluffing.
To prove whether or not Harley was lying or not, Brainiac uncovers Metropolis and demands that Bane sing the song at the end of his play. Bane does, but Harley interjects, and Bane corrects her. Hence, Brainiac has illusions of his old family, who convince him to have Harley and friends return to Earth. Brainiac allows Harley and the group to ride the escape pod back to Earth and on route, Sharon is offered to stay with Harley and Ivy, while Ivy reconciles with Frankette. This tender-hearted moment is ruined after space debris crashes into the ship and creates a tear in the ceiling. Thankfully, Frankette creates some oxygen bubbles for them to breathe, and it allows Ivy to patch up the tear. However, this only temporarily solves their problem as a giant piece of space debris crashes into the ship and destroys it. Fortunately, Superman rescues them all and returns them to Earth.
A week later, Ivy reclaims her old apartment and when asked about it by Clayface, she tells him Harley got from Sy in a steal, a literal one. As Ivy relishes the view of Metropolis with Harley which was placed closer to Gotham by Superman at Ivy's request, the two then head off to wreak some havoc.
Personality
- ❝ I can be around people now, y'know? I mean I hate it, but I can do it without vomiting. ❞
- — Poison Ivy[src]
Ivy is reserved, pragmatic, sarcastic, and misanthropic, usually controlling her emotions unless pushed. Though she is quite affectionate and understanding towards people she considers friends, Ivy has severe difficulty forming such friendships due to abandonment issues. Her hatred for humanity stems from her childhood, stating the first time her father hit her; this only changed when she met and eventually befriended Harley Quinn (then Doctor Harleen Quinzel). Besides Harley, Ivy's other close friend is Frank the Plant, a Venus flytrap she brought to life. While he and Ivy often needle or tease each other, their friendship has lasted 20 years; Ivy has said Frank was the only person to understand her before Harley entered the picture.
- ❝ Yeah, you know, if we're still categorizing fighting to protect the environment as "evil", then sure. ❞
- — Poison Ivy[src]
Her primary love is for nature, and she focuses her criminal pursuits on obstructing any efforts to harm the environment or plant life. While Ivy and Harley are both geniuses in their scholastic fields (biochemistry and psychiatry, respectively), Ivy is a diligent biochemist[14][15] and has used her knowledge within that field in her eco-terrorism.[9][12] She also likes the band the Indigo Girls,[16] jazz,[17][18] reading,[19][9] and fighting/killing people who she deems deserve it.[11][9] Despite being an introvert, Ivy has a hidden fun-loving side; she seems to dance when there is party music around.[11][16]
Ivy would develop a relationship with Kite Man. Although she initially held him in contempt, flying together on his kite over Gotham City slowly began to warm her to him. When they started dating, she tried to hide it out of shame, but eventually admitted to being his girlfriend. They would later get engaged, but by the time of the wedding, Ivy realized her heart wasn't really in it, and she had just been going along with it all out of fear and desire for a stable life. Four years before season 3 (making it not long before she met Kite Man), Ivy hooked up with Catwoman. However, the latter was too aloof and closed-off to provide an emotionally substantive relationship Ivy wanted. This might explain Ivy's attachment to Kite Man, for he was emotionally and physically fulfilling.
Ivy's relationship with Harley began when Harley was working as a doctor at Arkham Asylum where Ivy was incarcerated. As her therapist, Harley helped her deal with her misanthropy. In return, when she saw Harley being abused by the Joker, Ivy took it upon herself to help Harley out of that abuse, gradually getting Harley to realize how toxic her relationship with the Joker was. Ivy protected her at any cost and was deeply hurt when Harley relapsed. This resulted in Harley becoming Ivy's greatest fear, specifically allowing herself to trust someone only to be abandoned. However, Harley would change for the better, freeing herself from Joker's spell, winning back Ivy's friendship, and later on, her love.
Even though Ivy is a cautious introvert and Harley is an impulsive motormouth, the two love each other dearly. Their romantic relationship is built on a shared history,[5] familiarity with each other's likes/dislikes,[11][20][13] mutual respect,[21] a desire to see the other succeed,[2][9][21] and unwavering chemistry (they "get each other").[2][22][13][23]
After becoming the CEO of the Legion of Doom, Ivy initially doesn't know how to act like a proper boss, especially since she has to lead a group of villains, most of them are misogynists and have a poor view of women, trying very hard to know how to earn their respect and get them to see her as their boss. But thanks to the advice of Nora Freeze, Ivy leaves it and stops trying to get their approval, starting to make them follow her even if it's by force. Eventually, thanks to her performance at the MalCon and her active participation in all the panels, Ivy grew to feel more confident as a businesswoman and leader. However, she slowly gets blinded by the idea of becoming a celebrity, focusing on signing books, doing photo sessions, and ignoring Frank and her mentees. However, she later realizes she's becoming someone entirely different away from what she is. By the end of Season 4, Ivy realizes she'd been naive, and she never truly accomplished anything as CEO, and no one took her, in fact, seriously. Ivy understands she can't change anything by doing it in a world where she can't create or change new rules. So, she resigns and chooses to create a new world, doing it in her way with Harley, becoming part of the Gotham City Sirens.

- Expert Combatant: Ivy is an accomplished fighter, having learned several techniques from Harley during their time together. As such, Ivy was able to easily take down several goons while escaping from Riddler.[16]
