scans_dailyWorld's Finest Comics told Poison Ivy's origin story in issue #251. Written by Gerry conway and inked by Ric Estrada, it's not survived 100% unchanged to today.
Ivy, obviously, returns to wreak her revenge and turns Lebrand into a giant tree man. Wonder Woman then tears his arms off.
Being taken advantage of by a man stays, as does her immunity to toxins, but the name changes.

He's a villain, but just not a faux Casanova like Marc here.
