Title: Poison Ivy’s Fungal Plague Threatens Gotham City’s Survival – Will She Cause Mass Extinction?
In a shocking turn of events, Poison Ivy has unleashed a highly contagious fungal plague on Gotham City, putting its very survival at risk. The Lamia spores she initially intended to use for mass destruction and the elimination of humanity have mutated beyond her control, spreading rapidly and infecting unsuspecting victims. The consequences of her actions are now catching up to her, as the infected individuals relentlessly search for Ivy, potentially leading to a mass extinction event in Gotham.
When Poison Ivy first released the Lamia spores, her ultimate goal was to create a swift and devastating plague that would decimate humanity. She saw humans as a threat to the Earth and believed that removing them was crucial for the planet’s recovery. However, as the spores started to spread, Ivy discovered that they had taken on a life of their own, mutating and evolving into something far more dangerous than she anticipated. The situation became increasingly dire as the infected victims began seeking her out, driven by an unknown force.
Interestingly, it was later revealed that the Lamia spores were originally intended to be used for surveillance rather than mass destruction. This discovery came about during a confrontation with Jason Woodrue, also known as The Floronic Man. Ivy had stolen the spores from him, unaware of their true purpose. The spores did not spread as rapidly as Ivy had hoped, and they certainly did not bring about the extinction of humanity. This revelation offered her a glimmer of hope, as she realized that humans were intricately connected to the natural world and that saving them was still possible. However, while Ivy was on her journey of self-discovery, the Lamia spores were rapidly changing, influenced by her own physiology and their interconnected network.
Tragically, the victims infected by the Lamia spores suffer a slow and agonizing death. Before succumbing to the fungus, they experience vivid dreams in which Ivy appears, haunting them until their demise. Once fully consumed, there is no trace of their humanity left. It is a chilling and irreversible transformation. Despite the severity of the situation, no one has sounded the alarm about this spreading outbreak, leaving Gotham City and the Bat-Family unprepared to face the impending threat.
The Lamia zombies, as they have come to be known, are drawn to Ivy and are relentlessly searching for her. While they have not yet attempted to infect others, the densely populated and chaotic city of Gotham presents an ideal breeding ground for the spread of the fungal plague. With the ongoing Gotham War adding to the turmoil, containing the outbreak may prove to be an impossible task. As the Lamia zombies continue their march towards Ivy, the possibility of a mass extinction event looms over Gotham City.
Time is running out, and the fate of Gotham hangs in the balance. Will Poison Ivy be able to regain control over the mutated Lamia spores and put an end to the deadly plague she inadvertently unleashed? The answers lie within the pages of Poison Ivy #16 by G. Willow Wilson, Marcio Takara, and Arif Prianto, available now from Marvel Comics.
In this gripping story, readers will witness the desperate struggle to prevent Gotham City’s destruction and witness the consequences of Poison Ivy’s ill-fated decision. Brace yourselves as the tension builds, and the fate of Gotham City hangs in the balance.
