Poison Ivy, Poisonous

VILLAINOUS MOMENTS

Did Ivy Just Betray Her Team?

 ~Birds of Prey #11 (2012)

After facing numerous challenges, the Birds of Prey are now being blackmailed by one of their own in what may be their last mission.

Black Canary, Starling, Katana, Batgirl, and Poison Ivy have formed the core makeup of the Birds of Prey, the rare, female-only supergroup bent on stopping those who think they are above the law. For the last year, they've been working together, becoming a cohesive unit.

After much success, their greatest defeat now comes at the hands of their plant expert. Poison Ivy,  betraying her friends, has just informed them they've been secretly injected with a poison. If they don't fight for her, she'll let them die in six months.

Ivy's plan has just been revealed in Birds of Prey #11; and now we remember why she's a criminal.

A Slight Miscalculation

 ~Birds of Prey #7 (2012)

Talk about problems in the group. The Birds of Prey, consisting of Black Canary, Starling, Poison Ivy, Katana, and Batgirl are facing a super-villain capable of turning them against each other. He's gotten in their heads and can control them with rhyming phrases.

Amidst all the dissension and confusion, Katana managed to end the fight by decapitating the head of the bad guy. Well...almost; unfortunately he was their friend and ally, also manipulated by the villain.

This team is going to need some group therapy. Check out Birds of Prey #7 as the fate of team hangs in the balance.
