Super-human strength and the ability to fly isn't the only thing that's unrealistic about comic book heroines.
Their teeny-tiny waists coupled with huge breasts and disproportionate thighs are also unattainable for the majority of women in the real world.
Bulimia.com - a website dedicated to providing support systems to those struggling with eating disorders - has teamed up with some kickass illustrators to give the likes of DC Comics' Catwoman and Marvel's Black Widow a makeover.
Their eye-opening images show what super heroes, both male and female, would look like if they had realistic bodies.
"We didn't intend this project to be a commentary on whether or not comic books send the wrong message about body image," a representative with Bulimia.com told HuffPost Women.
"Rather, our hope here is to show the extent to which superheroes' body types - as is the case with their super-human abilities - are fictional.
"Our hope is that when viewers see these superheroes visualised in such a manner that they can identify with, they may feel better about themselves and realise the futility of any comparison between themselves and the fictional universes of Marvel and DC Comics."
