Many superheroes derived their superpowers from exposure to poisonous plants and bites from insects, like Pamela Lillian Isley, who turned to a life of crime as Poison Ivy and high school student Peter Parker who gained the speed, strength and powers of a spider to become Spiderman!

Every superhero needs a name, a costume and best of all, special super powers! Join us to bring our superheroes characters to life, designing and illustrating the ultimate comic capers adventure!
