GENERAL/STORY:
Poison Kiss was a
member of the Mad Gear Gang. She patrolled the streets of Metro City until
the gang was broken up by Mike Haggar, Guy,
and Cody. She remained a petty theif
until Sodom recruited her into his new Mad Gear. The new gang was doomed
from the start, however, and Poison quickly found herself without a job
again.
Fed up with her life of crime, Poison decided to go straight. Hugo,
another former Mad Gear member, had also decided to abandon his criminal
ways and became a professional wrestler. Poison offered to become his manager,
and he accepted. With Poison's help, Hugo "Andore" became a star, and both
became rich beyond their wildest dreams. She was only "playable" in one
game (Final Fight Revenge) but of course, she can be seen accompanying
Hugo in Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact / Third Strike, and in SNK VS Capcom
Chaos.
So is Poison
actually a dude??? In an EGM interview when asked about Poison's sex, Street
Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono stated "Let's set the record
straight: In North America, Poison is officially a post-op transsexual. But in
Japan, she simply tucks her business away in order to look like a girl."
Apparently, a cross dressing character with a penis was deemed taboo for
sensitive Western audiences. Fun fact: Capcom replaced her with a butch male
thug in the SNES version.

REVIEW:
She
started off as a random baddie in Final Fight, and was nicely
"developed" when she returned in 2nd Impact... Though her
actual fighting game debut in Final Fight Revenge where she was playable
for the first time, was pretty disappointing, like most of the characters in
that game. Though on the trampy side, I still think she's a pretty
effective design and makes a cool accompaniment
to Hugo in 2nd Impact/3rd Strike.
I actually own an awesome 1/6th
scale statue of her from a series called "Capcom Girls Collection" which
would convince anyone she's one hot babe... Just
look at those thin ankles, she can't possibly be a dude right?!? According to
Capcom Japan, she's a dude alright. Pffft... No transsexual would have thin
ankles and hips like that. I call shenanigans.
