Actress Emilia Clarke created a comic book superhero whose superpowers come from menstruation and said that the character will swing from her armpit hair like Spider-Man.

Clarke told Variety that she was inspired to enter the comic book industry after seeing the gender disparity among comic book creators and readers.

She assembled a team of female comic book creators and produced the "M.O.M." comic book with the superhero character Maya, a single mom.

Also her superhero powers are manifestations of the side effects from menstruation.

"The bloating, the hair growth, the mood swings, the [acne], all of it," Clarke explains. "We hate that when it happens, speaking for myself and everyone I've ever met who has had a period. What if we turned that around and made the period something that we can feel as this unique, crazy, superhuman thing that happens in our body? When Maya is scared, she goes invisible, when she's angry, she has superhuman strength. She can swing like Spider-Man from her armpit hair."

She added that the comic aims to normalize menstruation so that it has far less of a social stigma.
