In 1986, Neil Gaiman conceived a new origin and set of powers for Poison Ivy in Secret Origins #36. Ivy was renamed Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley and her background was based in botany. She had been raised by distant parents and took solace in gardening.

Gaiman recast the character as someone who felt more affinity and trust with plantlife than mankind.
