Valentina is the archnemesis of Darna, they both have super strength and equally good at martial arts. Valentina is also good at using different kind of weapons, on her head are snakes with deadly venom, addition to her power was she can charm and manipulate human specially males just by looking into her eyes. In a T.V. adaptation of Darna, Valentina has a whip made out of snake that comes out from her hands. In one movie, Valentina owns a gold snake staff that transforms into an obnoxious loud talking snake Viborah. As her disguise, Valentina is a known wealthy and beautiful top model, she uses turban to hide her snakes in head and she claims it as her fashion statement. I believe Valentina is the Philippine version of Medusa.
