History: Leland Owlsey, nicknamed the Owl, was a financial investor with connections to various criminal organizations, until an audit by the IRS uncovered his criminal connections. The Owl then abandoned all pretense of respectability, focusing entirely on his criminal endeavors.
The Owl has twice tangled with the vigilante Daredevil. The first time he was extending into the drug trade, dealing a narcotic called Mutant Growth Hormone, derived from the pituitary glands of adolescent mutants, which has the effect of granting the user increased strength and durability for a short time. Daredevil broke up the lab and freed the young mutants Owl had captive. The Owl managed to escape, however.
The second time, the Owl hired the Ani-Men to engage in a city-wide crime spree. Daredevil defeated the Owl and the Ani-Men, and all six were sent to prison.
The Owl was involved in the prison break led by the Rhino (see Rhino). He has since approached a number of animal-themed criminals at an underworld bar, one of the so-called Bars With No Name where criminals can network and relax, but his purpose for doing so has not yet been revealed.
