10 Super-Bad Comic Book Girls You Don't Want As Your Valentine

Think twice about sending these villainous vixens a valentine's day card.

Ms Hey fellas! Valentine's Day is around the corner and you're probably cursing yourself because you've got to pony up some time or shell out some cash to get something special for the lady in your life. Why? Because if you don't, you know you'll suffer for it for at least a couple of weeks. C'mon! You probably have a good one, so why don't you count your blessings and take her out and make her feel appreciated? Don't let your lady turn evil, because valentines are supposed to be exchanged and you need to ensure that the valentine you get back isn't one crafted for revenge. Take these super-bad girls, for instance. Every single one of these villainous vixens are about due rewards. They certainly wouldn't expect a valentine from you, but if they were supposed to give you one, here's why you wouldn't want it.

10. Poison Ivy €“ Pamela Isley

poison ivy Oh, Pammy Wammy €“ you're just so bad. God help you if you should ever get a flower delivery from this bad valentine. I mean, allergies notwithstanding, you run the risk of getting either bone-crushing creeper vines, six-inch thorns up the proverbial wazoo €“ or a nasty case in inhaled lethal fungal spores. Ivy's first appearance was in Batman #181, all the way back in 1966. She was originally an answer to the growing feminism movement by giving Batman a villain with a strong, female edge. Pamela Isley was one of the few villains in his Rogues' Gallery who demonstrated super-powers that ranged from mind-control to virulent neurotoxins in a bid to secure a safe haven for her beloved plants. If you get a valentine from this evil plant-queen, hope for a gift certificate. ... As long as it's not to a florist's.
