"Do you know how many horrible people that I've saved? Druggies... thugs with face tattoos. Pulled a windshield out of a guy who stole the car that he totaled. Walked out of my clinic the next day like nothing had happened. But I... I couldn't save her."
—Mary Hamilton to Kate Kane
Dr. Mary Hamilton (born May 17, 1995) is medical student graduate of Gotham University and influencer-in-the-making who secretly runs an illegal clinic to help Gotham's impoverished communities. She is the daughter of the late Catherine Hamilton-Kane, the step-daughter of Jacob Kane, and the step-sister of Kate Kane and Beth Kane.
Mary acted as a close ally and medical support to Batwoman since the beginning of the latter's vigilante activities. After Alice killed her mother, Mary distanced herself a bit from Kate because she believed in Alice before, but eventually they made up. After revealing to Kate that she'd figured out her secret identity, Mary officially became a member of the Bat Team.
Following Kate's disappearance, a woman named Ryan Wilder found the Batsuit and assumed the identity of Batwoman to avenge the death of her adoptive mother, Cora Lewis who had been indirectly killed by Alice. Mary and Luke gave Ryan the blessing and would allow her to continue wearing the suit to protect the city; until Kate returned. During this, Mary became the new owner of The Hold Up and Ryan's best friend.
Mary's clinic was eventually discovered and shut down by her step-father, Jacob. Mary then decided to fully finance the reopening of her clinic herself and prepared to legalize it by adding a community center. After Kate was found, she decided to leave Gotham to look for Bruce and she and Mary said their goodbyes; permanently making Ryan Batwoman.
Former powers
•Meta-human physiology: Due to being infected by one of Pamela Isley's vines and becoming a "sporling", Mary possessed meta-human attributes. •Chlorokinesis: Mary can manipulate plant life. She is able to almost suffocate other individuals into a honeycomb structure and can summon vines that are strong enough to immobilize both Batwing and Batwoman, who were both in their respective suits. •Pherokinesis: Mary can manipulate her pheromones; she is able to manipulate them presumably to create any chemical that she desires. •Telepathy: Mary can telepathically communicate with other plant-based meta-humans over small or vast distances. •Mind control: Due to Mary's pheromones, she can manipulate the minds of other individuals. •Infection: Mary's vines are capable of changing an individual's physiology and transforming them into a meta-human, granting that individual the same plant-based powers and characteristics that Mary posses as Poison Ivy. •Life-force energy absorption: Mary can absorb life-force energy from other meta-humans that she has created, which allows her to restore herself and her powers back to full strength if she is in a severely weakened state. However, if Mary absorbs too much life-force energy from her sporelings before they have a chance to completely recover, it will kill them. •Eye transformation: When Mary's powers are active, both of her eyes glow bright green. •Superhuman senses: Due to sound vibrations, Mary is able to sense the presence of objects or other individuals over small or vast distances. •Healing blood: After taking the universal cure-all Desert Rose as an antidote after being poisoned by Alice, Mary's blood was able to heal allegedly every illness by transfusion. These properties seemed to vanish after a while since, after analyzing her own blood some months after taking the antidote, Mary found nothing abnormal anymore.
Abilities
•Genius-level intellect/Great business acumen/Expert tactician/Leader: Mary is proven to be a very savvy, intelligent and cunning individual. She is extremely skilled strategist and planner, having secretly run her own clinic without getting caught through siphoning funds from Gotham University. Mary dealt with various patients on her own, not having any other staff members. She was also very accurate at orchestrating her movements in order to cover her activities and real interest for medicine by posing as an irresponsible party girl, even to her thousands of social media followers. Mary is also a fairly competent business planner, helping Kate Kane to open her gay bar, The Hold Up, and taking over its design. She also demonstrated an extraordinary memory and is an excellent tactician, taking charge of the organization of her step-father Jacob Kane's trial defense tactics and developing a plan to lure the Crows onto a roof so Batwoman could propose to Jacob a truce. Mary is so brilliant that she correctly deduced the existence of the multiverse, its collapse, and the birth of Earth-Prime after reading Beth Kane's astrophysics notes (though believed it was "mere speculation") as well as involuntarily proposing an effective way to destroy kryptonite. Mary is regarded by Kate as one of the three most intelligent individuals she knew in Gotham, alongside Luke Fox and Beth. She was the first person to correctly deduce Kate's identity as Batwoman on her own. •Expert of deception: Mary is extremely skilled in the art of deception, using acting and improvisation skills to make up several stories in a matter of mere seconds in order to try to pass a checkpoint. Mary also managed to trick Johnny Sabatino and several Gotham's mobsters into believing that she was at the Lookout to take part to their auction on behalf of Hamilton Dynamics, allowing her to free Batwoman. •Skilled investigator: Mary is very inquisitive and a capable investigator, having extorted information on Beth Kane's plan from Dodgson while he was drugged. She was also quite helpful in investigating the identity of Beth's doppelgänger when she first appeared. Mary was able to figure out that Kate is Batwoman after connecting a series of clues and helped Kate in figuring out Hush's kidnapping pattern. •Medical knowledge: Although Mary is just a medical student and has not yet achieved her M.D., she has a tremendous amount of medical knowledge, enough to operate her own illegal clinic and identify the exact extension of a patient's brain damage just by looking briefly at a CT. Her medical skills seem to be even greater and more accurate than that of many paramedics and she was able to perform various surgical feats, such as extracting a windshield out of a man's abdomen and help him recover within a night. Mary also displayed great knowledge of injuries caused by various types of bullets, able to deduce in less than an hour how to better treat the wounds they made without using specific equipment. •Skilled hand-to-hand combatant: Mary is proven to be a capable hand-to-hand combatant; she was able to hold her own in a fight against Beth Kane, and eventually overpowering and cuffing her, although it should be noted that the latter was in a severely weakened state at the time, regarding her headaches, thus; Beth was not at the peak of her combat skills. •Skilled knife-wielder: Drawing from her knowledge on the human anatomy, Mary has incredible aim with knives. Despite her fear, she was able to stab Dodgson in the leg with remarkable accuracy; debilitating his ability to move. •Skilled markswoman: Mary is skilled in the use of firearms. •Indomitable will: A driven and determined individual, Mary is nearly fearless and almost never gives up in most situations. For example, she chose to stay behind and help her patients during the evacuation of Bennett Ave. after a bomb alarm, despite knowing full well that no one knew of her clinic's existence and thus the authorities wouldn't care to evacuate it before detonating the bomb. •Network: As a member of the social elite and influencer-in-the-making, Mary has a wide array of contacts; such as several connections between the poor Gothamite communities she helped. In Bennett Ave., Mary has a reputation of "knowing everyone".
Former equipment
•Poison Ivy suit: Mary wore a protective suit when operating as the second Poison Ivy. •Gun: Mary carries a gun so that she can protect herself after nearly being killed by Dodgson. •Laser saw: A device which can cut through any substance. Mary used it to free Batwoman from Johnny Sabatino.

•In Batwoman, it's unclear who Mary's father is. Similarly in the DC comics, the name of her father is a narrative mystery as despite being presented as Kate's cousin. It is known that Betsy Kane (Mary's paternal grandmother) had six children:
Nathan Kane (childless), Philip Kane (unmarried), Martha Kane (mother of Bruce Wayne), Jacob Kane (father of Kate and Beth Kane), and one unnamed son. It is this unnamed son who is (presumed) to be her father.
