Varga is a Filipino comic book character created by Mars Ravelo in 1947. Varga was a female Filipino superhero created by Filipino writer Mars Ravelo and Filipino artist Nestor Redondo for Bulaklak Magazine. She was the precursor to Mars Ravelo’s other superheroine Darna (Ravelo created Darna in 1949, two years after leaving Bulaklak Magazine). Both Varga and Narda had the alter-ego Darna. The concept and image of Varga (who could be the first female superhero in the Philippines) was based on the illustrations of Superman appearing on comic books brought by soldiers from the United States to the Philippines.[1]
