Whoopi Goldberg co-writing comic book about superhero whose powers are triggered by menopause

Whoopi Goldberg is working on a comic book about a grandmother superhero whose powers are activated by menopause.

The 67-year-old will co-write the project with television’s Jaime Paglia, who created the Sci-Fi Channel’s Eureka and wrote for The CW’s The Flash.

Titled The Change, the comic follows the exploits of a woman named Isabel Frost, who begins to feel like she’s turning her life around.

She has an active social circle through her passion for video games, as well as being a married mother with a grandson who loves comic books.

But her increasingly repetitive routine gets a new boost when menopause sets in and her superpowers reveal themselves. Screen Rant reports.

Isabel becomes a superhero named The Change, throwing herself into her new role while relying on the support of her loyal best friend and her grandson.

In a first-look image released by Screen Rant, the title character can be seen wrapped in a long black leather jacket and holding a ball of blue and purple flames.

Over the years, Whoopi has been candid about her personal experiences going through menopause in her stand-up.

She was especially scathing about what she saw as healthcare double standards on the issue, joking, “Why don’t you put this down? How can you keep a man hard for 19 hours and not be able to cool off a hot flash?”

Whoopi’s comic book debut begins against the backdrop of a scandalous phase in her career, due to her idiotic comments about the Holocaust.

In early 2022, she caused a storm in the media after bizarrely claiming that the Holocaust was not about “race,” but “these are two white groups of people!”

The Holocaust was based on Nazi theories of racial science that classified certain groups, including Jews, as “untermenschen”—”subhuman.”

She faced an international deluge of backlash and was suspended for two weeks for her long-running hosting gig on The View.

In the initial wave of backlash, Whoopi apologized, saying she was “corrected” and “sorry for the pain I caused.”

However, she quickly made a U-turn, discussing the Holocaust with Stephen Colbert on his nightly talk show, declaring, “You can’t call this racism.”

Whoopi sparked another round of backlash in December when she told the story London Times that the holocaust was “not originally” about race, since its first victims were “people they considered mentally retarded.”

She further noted that ‘you couldn’t say it to a Jew on the street. You could find me. You couldn’t find them. That was the point I was making.’

Faced with another wave of controversy, Whoopi claimed, “It was never my intention to give the impression that I was doubling down on hurtful comments.”

The Sister Act star was originally named Caryn Johnson but took on Whoopi Goldberg as her stage name and has insisted she has Jewish ancestry.

Meanwhile, historian Henry Louis Gates Jr., who has hosted ancestral-themed TV shows like African American Lives and Finding Your Roots, dug into Whoopi’s family history and couldn’t find any Jewish relatives.

Some reports claim that she took the surname Goldberg because her mother told her she could improve her chances in Hollywood by appearing Jewish.
