Poison (Poison Kiss in Japan) is a character first introduced in the Final Fight series, who then appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 2, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike and other Capcom works. She also featured prominently in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos.
Story
Though the females within the Mad Gear Gang are very few in number, they are considered to rank among the most insidious members of the gang. At the head of this small, but elite group of femme fatales is a purple-haired young woman, whose kisses could only be described as poison.
As Hugo's manager, Poison serves as the driving force behind one of the most dangerous athletes in the world today.thumb|300px|right|Gameplay of the Japanese version of Final Fight Snes with poison and roxy
Trivia
During the American release of Final Fight, Capcom stated Poison to be transgender when questioned about the fact players were allowed to hit the female characters Poison and Roxy, as it was highly frowned upon at that time in America. In the SNES version of Final Fight, Poison and Roxy were further replaced with male characters named Billy and Sid due to the fact that Capcom in the U.S. did not approve of violence towards women.
In the original Final Fight, her palette swap is known as Roxy, who differs from Poison in that she has orange hair, while Poison's is pink.
Other Appearances
Final Fight Revenge features Poison as a playable fighter, and in her ending she visits Cody Travers in prison, carrying flowers. Poison realizes that he will never return her feelings as his heart belongs to Jessica.
Poison was featured in the canceled game Capcom Fighting All-Stars (set in Metro City), alongside Haggar, Ingrid, Chun-Li, Strider Hiryu and others. Capcom Fighting Evolution came out instead, although Poison is nowhere to be found, nor do the two games have much in common.
Concept art from Final Fight: Streetwise for Poison exists, but, along with Sodom, she was excised from the final game.
She is also Hugo's manager in his Street Fighter III appearance, and she taunts in his entrances and winning poses often.
Other than appearing in SNK's SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom, Poison was featured in their Card Fighters Clash DS.
Poison and the Mad Gear Gang have cameos in the background of the Metro City stage in Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. She is seated on a fallen statue of Mike Haggar, watching the battle.
Poison was recently confirmed to be a playable character in the Comic-Con 2011 trailer of Street Fighter X Tekken.
