Origin[]

Killer Ivy was a destructive species of plant that was capable of thought on the same level as human beings.

The invasive plant's first and most powerful show of force was the extinction of the dinosaurs. Over time it passively swept all of Earth and slowly destroyed civilizations as they arose, the most notable being Atlantis. Orde Wilson noticed the Killer Ivy's patterns and successfully concluded how it threatened mankind. After trying to make his case to the scientific community he was laughed out of the building and placed in a padded cell. The following day it was discovered that he had died of strangulation, the guards and doctors were unable to deduce it had been the work of the Killer Ivy which was just outside the cell wall.
