Man-Eating Plant: Difference between revisions

* [[DC Comics]]' [[Batman|Poison Ivy]] plays with this trope. She was once human but is now a mobile, autonomous, sentient and altogether villainous plant. While she may not literally eat human flesh (although [[I'm a Humanitarian|this has been alluded to on occasion]]), she's certainly a man-eater in every other sense of the word. Her sweat contains pheremones which make her just about irresistible to members of both sexes and her lips secrete botanical toxins which she can and will use with relish to dispatch enemies with a kiss. (Enemies meaning anyone she sees hurting a plant, hears about hurting a plant or suspects may have hurt a plant at some point.) She also has the ability to control plants to a degree in which she can control their growth and cause mutations on the fly, most of which are of the literal Man-Eating variety. If she's not in the mood for a decent snogging, she can always feed her current play-toy to her "babies". ''[[Arkham Asylum: Living Hell]]'' has her admitting to using at least one victim as mulch.

** Making it deliciously ironic and karmic when one of her "babies" became a [[Mind Hive]] of the people she fed to it that promptly decided to add her to the menu. Thanks to Batman and Robin she survived and the monster vanished, but Poison Ivy was left with a fear of plants for a while.
