The Owl is a supervillain who frequently menaces Daredevil and other heroes in Marvel Comics' universe, notably Spider-Man and the Black Cat. The Owl wears a set of metal talons on each wrist and a cape designed to resemble an owl's outstretched wings, and often uses various other bird-themed weapons and pieces of equipment (not unlike Batman's foe The Penguin). Although the Owl was Daredevil's arch-nemesis for much of his early career, he has since faded into obscurity, thanks in part to the popularity of Daredevil's more serious enemies, primarily the Kingpin and Bullseye.
