Batman Villains #5
Botanists, vigilantes, arsonists, artists; just some of the myriad occupations this next batch of villains belong to.
Poison Ivy - Pamela Isley was an ecological activist leading a student sabotage campaign against deadly corporate practices. The group was compromised by FBI informant Professor Jason Woodrue in an attempt to discredit their mostly nonviolent means, and the resulting bombing doused Isley in chemicals and activated her metagene. As Poison Ivy, she exhibited near-total control over floral life - and the lives of humans, thanks to her command of plant pheromones.
Doodlebug - Daedalus Boch was a fixture of Gotham's art scene known for creating his pieces out of anything on hand. Unfortunately, this ultimately included human bodies and Boch wound up as Arkham Asylum's artist in residence. He continued his work with the help of dumpster-diving cellmate Tucker "Junkyard Dog" Long, and Boch's art while incarcerated began to take on more eerie and occult subject matter.
Firefly III - Attending mandatory counselling at the Arkham Institute for a minor incident of fire raising, teenage delinquent Bridget Pike had a chance encounter with Ted Carson, the second Firefly. Immediately connecting over their shared interest, Carson took Bridget under his wing(suit) and trained her as his protege, until Carson was captured and eventually killed on a mission with Task Force X. Black Mask's attempts at creating his own supervillain team saw Bridget outfitted with a new pair of wings freshly stolen from Kord Industries, and Bridget Pike took on her late mentor's mantle for good.
Clayface III - Preston Payne was a researcher at the Department of Extranormal Operations when he was diagnosed with a rare form of MacGregor's Syndrome. Though his treatment was successful, his skin began to slough as a side effect and Payne injected himself with the blood of Basil Karlo and Matt Hagen - Clayfaces I and II. His weakened immune system tried to reject the Clayface serum, and Payne ultimately found his body to have become permanently unstable and without the shapeshifting abilities of his predecessors. Confined to a safety suit that helped him keep some semblance of a human form, Payne also discovered he had become toxic to the touch. After years of loneliness, he finally found love and eventually started a family with Sondra Fuller, the fourth individual to use the Clayface name.
Black Spider - Eric Needham had lived in Gotham his entire life, having witnessed the city going from bad to worse and the rise of costumed supervillainy. Eric became addicted to a synthetic opioid known as Black Spider, turning to petty crime to fund his addiction. One night, while holding up a Tricorner bodega to fund his addiction, Eric shot and killed a man who turned out to be his own father. As the Black Spider Killer, Eric waged a one-man war against the syndicates responsible for flooding the city with narcotics all while fighting his own addiction in the process.
Electrocutioner - An unknown number of people have taken up the Electrocutioner identity over the years, most famously mercenary-for-hire Lester Buchinsky. His brother Jack had previously used the Electrocutioner name with a much more ideological bent, murdering criminals with his high-voltage gauntlets in several rampages that were thwarted by Batman.
