Poison, the scantily clad, purple haired dominatrix girl (also appearing with red hair as Roxy), who's also never been playable outside of FF Revenge. She appears alongside Hugo in every game she's in, and she's at least reasonably popular in...ahem...certain Japanese fan artist circles. She's also the most controversial character Capcom has ever created. In order to avoid the whole "female abuse" issue, Capcom was sticking with the story that Roxy and Poison were actually transsexuals, in which case it was proper to beat the hell out of them. I suppose that actually makes it more of a hate crime than regular domestic abuse, but I've never been one to figure out political correctness anyway. By the time Final Fight Revenge came out, the design team, completely separate from the original developers, had decided that Poison was in fact a girl and she had a crush on Cody. The original Capcom developers said "what the hell" and just went along with it, perhaps suggesting s/he went ahead and had the operation. Poison was meant to star in Capcom Fighting All Stars, a 3D fighting game that was eventually canned and morphed into the mediocre 2D fighter Capcom Fighting Evolution - which had no evidence of Poison. She was edited entirely out of the SNES and Gameboy Advance versions of the game, replaced with spikey haired male bad guys, and while's she present in the Sega CD version, extra clothes were added. Check the visuals.
