Vara

Vara is a figure from Kryptonian history and mythology, appearing in stories set on Krypton before its destruction. She inhabits the world of Superman's ancestors, existing within the ancient lore and heritage that shaped the Last Son of Krypton.

Emerging from the Copper Age reimagining of DC's most iconic mythology, Vara debuted in Superman #11 in 1987, brought to life by the legendary John Byrne during his celebrated reinvention of the Man of Steel's world. With only a handful of appearances spread across World of Krypton, Action Comics, and Adventures of Superman, Vara is a rare and intriguing figure from the rich tapestry of Kryptonian lore — sharing those pages with the likes of Jor-El, Lara, and Van-L, the very pillars of Superman's storied origins. For collectors who love the deeper corners of Krypton's history and the bold post-Crisis reconstruction Byrne orchestrated, Vara is exactly the kind of hidden gem that rewards digging in.
