Plot
Ada, a gay beautician from the Philippines, spends her days with her best friend/assistant Didi. One evening, as Ada bathes, a meteor falls from the sky, punches a hole through the bathroom roof and hits her on the head. Ada tells Didi what happened, and Didi convinces her that she should swallow the meteor/rock in case it will give her superpowers, just like Darna. The duo discover the word Zaturnnah engraved on it. Convinced, Ada does so, then shouts "Zaturnnah!" and, in a puff of smoke, she turns into a voluptuous red-headed woman. Shocked, Didi takes it in stride and convinces Ada to find out if she had superpowers, which she does. Ada decides to adopt the name Zsazsa Zaturnnah for her superheroine persona.
