An artist has created a new superhero inspired by his daughter to show her she can be anything she wants to be .
Jim Connolly, 43, said Roisin, seven, was the basis for the heroine of his graphic novel Made of Steel.
He said he wanted her to grow up knowing that gender shouldn t hold you back in life.
Roisin said she had been shocked and happy when her dad showed her the comic for the first time.
Mr Connolly, who has worked on design projects for musicians including Iron Maiden, Jarvis Cocker and Richard Hawley, came up with the idea after he and Roisin bonded over a Spider-Man film.
