In the early 1970s, archrival Vilma Santos did several movies where she appeared in sci-fi and fantasy movies. She donned the Darna costume for the first time in Mars Ravalo's "Lilad Darna Lapad". She also did equally hit movies, "Phantom Lady", "Vivian Volta" and "Wonder Vi". Not to outdone, Nora Aunor looking for a material to suit her image, bought the film right of Zoila's "Super Gee", which was serialized in Darna Komiks in 1972. The movie was released in 1973 under her own NV Productions. Nora was awesome in an almost all-black outfit and was even great doing spectacular stunts.
