Like other Final Fight characters, Poison has a name that comes from a rock band.

But the name, the long hair and their gender are not all they have in common....

Poison wears a hat just like one of the band members did for a while and it has the exact same skull logo on the front side.
It's also been said that she was named after the band by an unnamed female employee at Capcom:
"Also, we had a woman co-worker who we asked to list as many names as she could think of for our characters. She was really into rock music, so that's why lots of them turned out to be named after band members!" - Akira Nishitani, Final Fight Game Designer (Retro Gamer Magazine Issue 37)
