The Owl is a fictional superhero that first appeared in Dell Comics' Crackajack Funnies #25 (July 1940), continuing until #43 (Jan 1942).
Not having superpowers, he relies on his fighting skills and a number of gimmicks, such as his flying "Owlmobile," a cape that functions as a hang glider, and a hand-held "black light" gun that casts a beam of darkness.
[2] According to Jess Nevins' Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes, the Owl's enemies include "the insane Ma Madespo and her four insane killer sons, the crime-mongering Dr. Nodd, the vicious crimelord Pantherman, the hooded and maimed German veteran the Spectre, and German scoundrels during World War One.
"[3] After World War II, the Owl (along with dozens of other heroes) is trapped in the Urn of Pandora by the misguided Fighting Yank.
He wore a cape which allowed him to glide, used a gun that could project "black light" and possessed a flying car called the Owlmobile.
