If you wear a superhero and your arch nemesis wanted to lure you to a trap, what could they use to entice you?

If you want to poison me, I no matter what time of day it is, I can't say no to a glass of champagne.

Amelia Clark famously played Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, also known as the Mother of Dragons.

Trust me, we'll get into all that Game of Thrones stuff later, but first we're talking about another mother, mother of madness.

Amelia just wrote a comic book, Mother of Madness.

It's about a single mom who's a scientist, sex worker, and secret superhero.
