Why has Poison Ivy never hooked up with Swamp Thing?

Wouldn't he be her ideal man? They could make little peapods together and live happily ever after.

Haha! You should totally make a comic about that!

Maybe do the Watchmen thing, and make them your own characters a bit, so you don't get sued - of if you just want to go indie/parody route, it probably won't matter.

At the very least, it would make a cool painting!

Well, Swampy likes girls.......and so does Ivy.

Poison Ivy is a lesbian? When did that happen? I know she dislikes men in general, but I thought she had a thing for Mr. Freeze.

[B-Lister]

Well, her and Harley had a thing for a while. Don't know if it was a full on romance, but it was the closest thing to a relationship Ivy was ever in, and the closest thing to a healthy relationship Harley was ever in.

i think in the eighties there was a crossover. once DC started their adult line of comics though Swamp Thing tended to not interact with the main stream DC characters

Talk about a New Line of Sexual Transmited Diseases.

The closest analogue to Ivy that Swamp Thing ever met was a character named Woodrue, a male character. It's a fair question tho as Swamp Thing did take on Batman and Gotham once. You'd think Ivy would've jumped at the chance to get back at Batman.

I guess the main reason is that during Swamp Thing's big heydays of the mid 70s and mid-80s, Poison Ivy was pretty far down on the totem pole of popular Batman villains. It really wasn't until BTAS in the early 90s that her star got promoted to the big leagues. At that time, Swamp Thing was going through a down period, and eventually got replaced by his daughter, Tefe. Plus he and Abby were a hot item from Moore's run on.

Besides her liking girls, he's got better taste in women than to go for her.

That's true. When I saw Ivy way back when during the original Crisis with The Joker I was like "who's she?"
