Wonder Woman lends her support to Mozambique campaign against breast cancer- Despite her superhuman strength, powers of flight and incredible agility, even Wonder Woman could succumb to breast cancer.
That's the message being sent out to young women in the African nation of Mozambique today which is deploying a number of superheroes in its fight against the disease.
Wonder Woman has been joined by other female comic book characters including Storm, She-Hulk and Catwoman to  highlight that even they need to be aware of the warning signs.
The illustrations, created by artist Maisa Chaves, show the women of steel checking their breasts for lumps.
A caption next to them reads: 'When we talk about breast cancer, there's no women or superwomen.
'Everybody has to do the self-examination monthly. Fight with us against the enemy and, when in doubt, talk with your doctor.'
The campaign, run by the Associação da Luta Contra o Cancer, isn't afraid to shock young women if it means they visit their GP.
Previous ads made it appear as though spiders and cockroaches were living under the skin of women’s breasts.
Although breast cancer is uncommon in women under 30, survival rates are lower for younger patients, and campaigns that target this age group are crucial in getting the message over about early detection.

It would be a good idea if they check each other.

It would be a good idea if they check each other. Preferably naked, and with probing tongues!
