Mother nature is not a hero.

Matika Baker argues Poison Ivy is in fact a villain

Poison Ivy believes her idea is a heroic means of saving the world and giving mother nature a second opportunity, but according to a utilitarian perspective, she is certainly evil.

Poison Ivy is a clear example of a villain. She does not follow rule utilitarianism. She is a drama queen and thinks she “rules the world” just because she got pushed into some random chemicals. Poison Ivy is immune to all poisons which include viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The toxins in her bloodstream make her touch extremely deadly. She thinks of the happiness she will receive instead of thinking about the moral rule whose would create the most happiness. Mother

This shows that Poison Ivy did not follow the Utilitarianism rule as she did not produce the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, though she only thought of herself and “mother nature”.

She promises to come in peace and with a love of plants, but she is only an intolerant enforcer. She attempts to destroy vehicles, power plants, and other symbols of the "earth killers" in the name of helping nature and humanity, she is harmful and regressive to society. Wiping out the whole generation would not be following utilitarianism as she would have not thought about the happiness of the majority. Poison Ivy’s “perfect” world would crumble to pieces, families would live with trauma for the rest of their lives. She is planning to kill the earth by using her plants, she has the ability to control plants. She uses a carnivore plant called “The dawn”. However, Poison Ivy's horrible scheme to exterminate everyone on Earth won't bring most people pleasure or happiness and is, thus,
