‘Super Soldiers’ up action in ‘Darna’

The action-packed superhero series “Mars Ravelo's Darna” just got more explosive with the addition of Super Soldiers, a gang of villains who banded together to beat the iconic superhero Darna (played Jane De Leon).

Jane de Leon as Darna

Under the command of General Borgo (Richard Quan) are Narda's former suitor Noah Vallesteros (Paolo Gumabao), her co-worker Andrei Abesamis (Young JV), Borgo's aide Xandra (Kim Rodriguez), police officer Arthur Pineda (Eric Fructuoso), journalist Sigfried Cruz (Joshua Colet), Mayor Zaldy Vallesteros (Simon Ibarra), and his assistant Maisha Rodriguez (Dawn Chang), who all transformed as Extras and earned their superpowers.

Noah and Andrei first paired up to use their fiery and explosive powers to wreak havoc during a charity ball event, while Sigfried was given a serum to transform into an Extra after proving his loyalty to Borgo.

After revealing his connections to drug syndicates and Brian Robles' (Joshua Garcia) dead father, police officer Arthur escaped from a hospital with Sigfried's help to become Borgo's ally.

Darna is up for tougher battles against the ‘Super Soldiers.’

When Mr. X, the mastermind behind the drug syndicates was unveiled to be Mayor Zaldy, he desperately attempted to escape Darna and the cops by injecting a serum on himself that turned him into a giant Extra with astounding muscular strength.

Meanwhile, his assistant Maisha frantically sought the help of businesswoman Victoria Villaceran (Carla Martinez) who turned out to be another Borgo's identity. Maisha accepted the serum from Borgo and joined his soldiers of Extras.

With a group of super soldiers and her arch-nemesis Valentina plotting to cause even more danger, Darna is pushed to her limit as the stone's protector who must save the people of Nueva Esperanza.

Catch “Darna” weeknights at 8 p.m. on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, CineMo, A2Z, and TV5. The ABS-CBN series produced by JRB Creative Production is also available on iWantTFC, and TFC.
