Talk:Groot vs. Poison Ivy/@comment-27190018-20151215220708

Groot isn't really a plant; he's a Flora Colossus. Ivy isn't able to control other sentient plant-like beings such as Swamp Thing and Harvest, so that trick wouldn't work.

She does have different pheromones that she can use to mind control non-plants like Superman, but that's not enough. Groot is LEAGUES beyond her in strength and speed, and even she does make him tear himself apart, she wouldn't know that he wasn't dead. Her mind control =/= mind reading.
