==Trivia==
*It is said that in the American release of Final Fight, Capcom stated Poison to be a transgender when questioned about the fact players were allowed to hit the female characters Poison and Roxy, as it was highly frowned upon that time in America. However, in some old profiles and concepts for Poison, she was discribed in japanese as a newhalf: the japanese name for a transgender woman. Anyway, in the american release of the game for SNES, Poison and Roxy were replaced by two frail-looking men, named Billy and Sid.
*In the original Final Fight, her pallette swap is known as Roxy, who differs from Poison in that she has orange hair, while Poison has pink.
*Poison was going to be one of the bosses in the game Final Fight: Streetwise, but she was removed from the game alongside Sodom, and replaced by Cammy.
*Poison was going to appear also in the cancelled game Capcom Fighting All-Stars, alongside many other Capcom characters. Capcom Fighting All-Stars came out instead, but Poison was nowhere to be seen.
*Poison has appeared in the Street Fighter III series and in SvC Chaos: SNK VS Capcom in Hugo's intros and winposes, in SvC she also had dialogues with the other characters.
*Poison and the Mad Gear Gang have cameos in the background of Metro City stage in Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds / Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. She is seated on a fallen statue of Haggar, watching the battle.
*Capcom tried to belie the fact that Poison was a transgender female in the games after Final Fight, however in Capcom Classics Collection, her profile says that she is a man who dress in female clothes and in Street Fighter X Tekken, some commentaries of the other characters about her suggest that she is transgender although this was later omitted due to being offensive to the LGBT+ community.
