[QUOTE=Geof-Force;7239467]The upgrade to MC does her no favors, but the upgrade to Smoke Cloud does. 6 squares, -1 AV (-2 if placed correctly against ranged) and deal 1 damage to those occupying or adjacent to a square?

Pulled her in a sealed event along with 013 Joker. The combination of poison with those two on the same team should not be underestimated. I can't wait to use them again.

[QUOTE=HepatitvsJ;7156097]I Imagine there should be an "opposing" before characters.

First things first. I LOVE painless mind control. ergo I LOVE this Ivy. I can't wait to pair her up with IHGF Leader and brother voodoo and a violet lantern for some puppet matering silliness. :) [QUOTE=Breno314;6910744]I guess I just interpret it differently then.

Glad to finally get a good Poison Ivy. Her stats are mediocre but her powers are useful, which feels right. I just wish she had one or two more powers - maybe Shape Change, Super Senses, or Mastermind - on some of those blank slots. But that's a minor complaint. Pretty cool sculpt, too, even if I miss the more iconic costume.

[QUOTE=oleandervine;6910730]Actually, it doesn't specify "this power" at all. It specifies placed by "the power," in reference to Smoke Cloud.

[QUOTE=Breno314;6909262]"immediately after she uses Smoke Cloud, choose one of the hindering terrain markers [B]placed by the power[/B] and deal 1 damage to each character occupying or adjacent to it" That would be a negative.

Used her last night in a sealed. She requires a little finesse, but a very useful lady to have around!

She's cool. Would've loved if they had said that the hindering terrain markers are considered printed hindering as an SP. I really was hoping to team Swamp Thing up with her. = D Nonetheless, she'll get some field time with me.

I wonder if you can use the gas pellets / smoke grenades on the utility belt with her to use smoke cloud and get her 1 damage on top of the 1 penetrating next turn...

Despite the lack of the Gotham City keyword and a special power to ignore other character's poison, this figure of Poison Ivy is absolutely delightful!! I like it very much, and I've waiting for it several years!

I love both her mind control and smoke cloud powers. the fact that the smoke poison adjacent figures means that she is a figure that is going to see some use even if she is a bit on the squishy side

I love Poison Ivy so much, and I'm so excited to have an actual playable version of her. While I lament her lack of the nut house keyword, I do like that she has Sirens and Bird of Prey. What more, I love her Mind Control power, which is something that Voodoo wishes she was capable of. What's better, is that if you pair her with another Batman Enemy to leech a killer attack value off of, she can ruin high defense- high point characters and not be any worse off for it. And the icing on this cake is her Smoke Cloud ability, which allows her to deal damage at a distance without requiring Line of Sight, which will be INCREDIBLY helpful in sealed with all the Stealth running around. Also, on those indoor maps, like Blackgate Prison, Poison Ivy will be a super star piece with her board control powers that will hamper most opponents. I can see her barrier being used quite effectively to trap sneaky pieces in prison cells.

Shes going to be a beast in sealed with the major lack of damage reducers in this set.

It's taken nearly 10 years, but here we finally have our first truly playable Poison Ivy (as a non duo at least). Not only that, but it's also great to have a front loaded answer to how the Batman Enemies can lure the Batman Family in closer. She will make a lot of my BE teams from now on, even if she sadly lacks the Arkham or Underworld keyword.

A good representation of the character. I would've liked to see a bit more defensive wise (maybe mystics when she's in hindering) but no damage for mind control is always tops in my book.
