Flash Facts: Poison Ivy as a Mom

[his_spiffynesss]

You might have heard about Flash Facts. DC's new Original Graphic Novel on science. The chapter by Amy Chu and Ile Gonzalez about DNA stars Poison Ivy and her unexpected children.




Then we have some sciencey stuff which leads to a night time visit to a lab.
There's a run-in with a security guard, and that brings Swamp Thing for some reason.




My headcanon from this is the kids are some genetic engineering between Harley and Ivy, but clearly their relationship got rocky and now Ivy has sole custody.

Some plants can actually inseminate themselves. Just saying.

And sometimes a British warlock is necessary... I can see why Swamp Thing didn't want to have that conversation.

True, but I do think it's more fun to think Mama Harley rolls into their lives once in a while as a hyper chaotic vodka aunt.

Well there was that episode of the animated series where Ivy was making plant clones, yeah they were short lived and eventually mutated into monsters and died, but I'm guessing by this point she's perfected the process.

also: Good for you Ivy, not only raising three beautiful kids, but you are also now a respected scientist getting invited to speak at MIT.

I do remember that once the Swamp Thing helped the Black Orchid giving her some of his seeds. Ahn, literally. That would explain why he is securing the place, maybe?

Nice shout-out to the '70s Rose and the Thorn!

I did a little more digging, and realized Amy Chu's Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death featured these three girls in adult form.

Not sure what you mean by a "12 page chapter", but our rule is for 1/3 of a story, not 1/2.

Please clarify the terms, and if necessary, reduce the page count to 1/3.

This story by itself was 12 pages long. I reduced the page count.
