7. Poison Ivy
Yet another character who surprisingly didn’t land a spot on the Injustice: Gods Among Us roster. Not only is Pamela Isley well known, she’s a much beloved character who has stood the test of time in comics, films, television, and games. Rocksteady’s Batman Arkham series, which NetherRealm has taken inspiration from in many respects, has already shown us how much of a badass Poison Ivy truly is. She’s an untapped powerhouse waiting to blow at any moment. She can be slow and methodical in one second, then quick and vicious the very next; somewhat similar to MK’s Mileena, who is very much like Ivy… aside from the fangs Mileena keeps hidden behind a veil when she isn’t being cannibalistic.
Adding another layer to the gameplay possibilities, she could summon man-plant zombies to do her bidding in a match, or, better yet, turn her opponent into one with some seductive trickery and a sultry kiss. And if NR decides to give into the fans begging for a tag team mode, the online community would be filled with Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy match-ups. Who doesn’t want that?
