Poison's first appearance is in Final Fight as a minor enemy and part of the game's main villain group Mad Gear. She tended to be one of Capcom's most controversial characters. The game had a penchant for palette swaps, and the character Roxy was hers. In initial game design both characters were biologically female. However, Capcom of Japan received a phone call from a Nintendo rep opposing violence against women, so the developers changed them into pre-op transsexuals (more specifically stated as newhalves), but without changing the in-game sprites [1]. This is stated in the game's Japanese instruction manual for the character's backstory.[2], and reflected in the very male "knockout moans" characters make as they are defeated. However, US playtesters failed to realize they were actually male until a representitive of Capcom Japan informed them of such.[3] Despite this, Nintendo felt that the female enemies should be censored, and they were replaced with generic characters Billy and Sid (while Poison and Roxy both have at least some backstory, these two have none and exist solely as filler characters).

Why exactly do you feel the need to figure out if I'm heterosexual or not. It's rediculous. Is the fact that I don't like it when people use the word gay like that mean I might be gay to you?

To answer your question, yes I do have a gay friend. So what? Do you have any gay friends?

[C.R.O.M. jodafro619]

nutpatch is not g'ing on gay folks. Saying something is gay is like another slang for messed or F*&cked up. At least I am just guessing that's what he did. But  getting back to the topic, Samuel Jackson stated that the "gentleman" with the painted on attire was due noa censoring everything that was cool era. We was lucky to even see Mortal combat with all it sweat gushing glory. But luckily my moms was asega fan too and got that version !

[Marancv]

i guess that at this point we all have some gay friend around XD
i have, and theyre so fun.
but
back on topic: Poison a Dude? dang thats SOOOO unexpected!!!

Nope, she he was a dude the entire time.

Well, now that I think about it, she he was made a female in the american version.

Didn't the article mean Nintendo of America, not Nintendo of Japan?

I think it did.

[The Great Matsutzu]

Poison's "real" gender is always going to be a topic of controversy. No one *really* knows Capcom's original intentions with it.

I believe later it was said that Roxy (the palette swap of Poison) was actually female. So that's at least one they went back on from the change.

[Violent Ken Masters]

Capcom originally made Poison a girl then some company or something said they have a problem with guys beating up girls so they forced Capcom to make Poison a guy. Capcom's original intentions was for Poison to be a girl, so to me it's a girl.
