“Darna,” created by Filipino komiks legend Mars Ravelo, is an iconic superheroine first introduced in 1950 and celebrated for embodying courage, justice, and compassion in Philippine pop culture. The story follows Narda, an ordinary young woman who gains extraordinary powers after swallowing a mystical stone and shouting “Darna,” transforming into a winged warrior with superhuman strength, flight, and combat skill to battle both earthly criminals and fantastical villains like Valentina. Ravelo created the character as a symbol of empowerment and moral strength, and over the decades Darna has become a cultural institution—adapted into films, TV series, and merchandise—cementing her status as the Philippines’ most enduring superhero.
