HISTORY 

Patrick Walters is the twin brother of Richard Walters, and together they were known as the Fighting Twins. The kids were the sidekicks of the second Black Owl, their own father, Walt Walters. 

Mr. Walters was injured in action and died, and the twins continued their career alongside the original Black Owl, Doug Danville. Unlike his brother Dick, Rick never strayed too far from the Owl's Nest. Unfortunately, Doug Danville's career as vigilante had earned him too many enemies and he was ultimately killed. Belle, Danville's daughter, under the nickname of The Harpy, almost killed her father's assassin but was stoped by Rick and the two together brought the criminal to justice. Belle became Rick's companion in adventures, as well as a sentimental partner (despite the age difference between them). The two of them were part of the Crime Smashers. 

Rick slightly altered his uniform and his nom de guerre as he got older, changing his name to the Yankee Eagle. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

He had no powers, but he was as strong and acrobatic as his brother and also had all the resources of the Owl's Nest. Unlike his brother Dick, Rick aged normally, although he always remained in exceptional physical shape, despite his age.

HISTORY 


1939, May. 

Douglas Danville was a wealthy playboy who decided to fight crime, first under the secret identity of the Knight Unknown, but soon changed his M.O. to Black Owl. When WWII began, Danville bequeathed the Black Owl cape to his good friend Walt Walters. Walters' wife had been murdered a few years earlier and Walt strove to raise his children, twins Patrick and Richard, as true American paragons. When his father became the Black Owl, the children became his young sidekicks, assuming the identities of Yank and Rebel. The trio enlisted the help of Rufus Worthy, the family's loyal black butler, and Inspector Foley of the Prize City Police Departmemt. Unfortunately, Walt Walters was seriously injured in a shooting and died. Douglas Danville returned from the front line to take care of the children and eventually took up the mantle of the Black Owl. Sometime later, Danville met Doris Parker, the vigilante nicknamed Scarlet Sable, first as rivals and then as allies. Doris and Douglas eventually married and had a daughter, Belle, who would end up becoming the Harpy. The third Black Owl, Nick Terry, was an FBI agent disenchanted with the system. A young reporter, Belle Wayne, became his sidekick, adopting the secret identity of Miss Owl. 

The latest incarnation of the Black Owl is the librarian Jack Martin. Jack and his father created a flight-capable Black Owl suit to get revenge on a mobster for mutilate Jack's father. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Douglas Danville was in exceptional physical shape and was well above average fighters and acrobats. The Black Owl possessed vast resources to sustain his war on crime..His main mean of transportation was the Silent Swooper.
