Femchinell, The Forest Nymph of Death
Real Name: Leslie Townsend
Equipment: None
First Appearance: Deviantart (9/10/2018)
Powers: Carnivorous Plant Physiology; Plant Manipulation; Thorn Projection; Vine Generation; and finally can produce super-powered seeds that grow into different plants that are used for different utilities:
- Wild Violet - A type of flower that can launch seeds like a machinegun.
- Touch-Me-Not - A plant pod that explodes violently like a hornet's nest hand grenade, launching seeds at great speeds. There is a second version of a Touch-Me-Not where the seeds are more like needles and can lodge itself into solid steel.
- Devil’s Foot Root - A poison made from an African root, which vaporizes when heated, leading to those exposed going mad or dying after inhaling the fumes. Femchinell is the only source of Devil's Foot Root in The Ever-Changing City, with another source found within the forests that borders the city.
-Tobanga - A man-eating tree with poisonous "spines" that resemble "many huge serpents in an angry discussion, occasionally darting from side to side as if striking at an imaginary foe" which seize and pierce any creature coming within reach.

Origin
(---"If there's one label Leslie Townsend wears with an inflated ego & a twisted sense of pride, it's "Reverse Vegan" i.e. someone who favors the rights of plants and the environment and would rather eat slabs of meat instead of harming a single piece of flora. That and she considers herself an Eco-Sexual, meaning she is also attracted to the environment in "that" way.

(Writer's note: Eco-Sexual is a real thing, I didn't make it up for the sake of a joke.)

And even in her old universe, she is considered both an off-kilter extremist with her fanatical devotion to the environment to the point of committing criminal / terrorist acts against factories, lumber yards & "The Establishment" as a whole; And a complete and total loon with her thinking that the plants have any mental capacity to experience things like pain, emotion and actual thought.

One day when was driving on her way to plant explosives in an industrial complex, she and her hybrid car ended up getting caught in the same light barrier like other victims before her and was knocked unconscious. She woke up some time later in the forest that borders The Ever-Changing City, where she had noticed that her body was changed drastically, as much of her body was similar to the floral life she dedicated her life to protect. She could hear screaming coming from the city itself, and as she drove her car inside to look around, she noticed that some of the apartments around had their own vegetable gardens, and she could hear all the veggies calling out to her, to save them from getting eaten.

Though if this was just her psychosis or not, that's when she decided to get out of her car and charge in to assault every person around her, calling out for their blood for their treatment of those innocent plants. And that when she also discovered her new abilities that came with her transformation, such as producing seeds that create a menagerie of weaponized plants, such as a version of the Wild Violet, which can function as a machinegun-esque pistol in Leslie's hands.

Her attack on the civilians didn't go uninterrupted, as a certain purple Runabout carrying two passengers was coming towards her. With Leslie in the middle of the road, The Runabout's driver stomped on the brakes, stopping inches away from actually hitting Leslie.

"Confound it, woman!" Leslie heard the blue-skinned woman driver yell, "Get outta the blasted street!"

"Maldición, Dana!" The flame-themed luchador shouted at the driver, "Solo dale vuelta! Están justo detrás de nosotros!"

"Hot Rock, You know I can't understand a blasted word your saying!" The driver, Dana, barked back.

The luchador, Hot Rock, grumbled before replying, "I said to go around her! They're right behind us!"

As the two fought, Leslie looked more at the car they were driving, becoming enraged as she looked.

"You monsters!" She shouted, causing the two to stop their bickering to look at Leslie with confusion as she continued ranting, "How dare you drive in that gas guzzler! Do you know how much pollution your adding to the atmosphere?! You're choking the environment!"

Instinctively, the vines that draped from her shoulders grew in size and length as they thrashed around like angry serpents. The vines then wrapped themselves around Leslie's own car behind her and with great strength, rose the car above her head.

The two panicked as Dana shifted the car into reverse and stomped on the accelerator right before Leslie slammed the front of her car at them, but she ended up hitting the pavement and caving in the front of her car.

"Damn It!" She shrieked as she lifted the car back up, "Now look what you made me do!"

"You did that yourself, pendejo!" Hot Rock called out.

Leslie just yelled as she threw the wrecked car at the two, causing Dana to stomp on the accelerator to avoid getting hit by the flying wreckage. As the Runabout was driving backwards to get as far as possible from the psychotic forest nymph, they ended up driving past two of their pursuers, Sammy Swift and Chroma-Ki, who arrived just before Leslie threw her totaled car at the two criminals and now have to deal with what looked like Mother Nature's hissy fit in the physical form of an angry, grunge girl."---)


So yeah, I made my own version of DC's Poison Ivy. Though while Poison Ivy was a sexy femme fatale who uses her good looks and sexuality along with her power over plants & pheromones to protect plant life, Femchinell is more the opposite of that; An unattractive bint who would rather violently murder every fleshy creature in her path in the most direct way possible using her power over plants and her thorn-studded fists to protect plant life. For those wondering about her name, it's a modification of Manchineel, a plant that, in it's full, modern spanish name, translates to "Little Apple of Death."

What I haven't written in the origin is that Femchinell does join The Aberrant Men at some point, though maybe for a short while since Leslie would be insufferable with her acting morally superior to the others and her constant preaching about protecting all forms of plant life.
