Ivy's giant plant avatar is towering and puts even DC's Giganta to shame. Along with her large size, this form also reflects Poison Ivy's character design when DC chose to depict her as more of a plant than a human. In other words, The ivy avatar has green, vine-like skin and “hair” consisting of thick spiky branches.
