Fair use rationale for Image:Owlmaleev.jpg

Image:Owlmaleev.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Mutant::

The Owl is indicated as being a mutant, something that has been firmly in dispute over the years. The Owl is not a mutant (http://www.comixfan.com/xfan/forums/showthread.php?t=46668) --RedKnight (talk) 14:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Owl is not a mutant. His powers come from his serum. People became confused after he started making Mutant Growth Hormone out of his own cells, but that doesn't make him a mutant. In Alias, Mattie Franklin was being used to make MGH, and her powers are explicitly mystical. For over 30 years, Owl's powers were undeniably the sole result of his serum. No comic story has been released to retcon that fact. --68.200.50.225 (talk) 01:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The Owl was revealed to be a mutant many years after his first altercations with Daredevil"

Contradicts this in the following paragraph.

"Despite some sources, the Owl is NOT a mutant. MGH has been refined from non-mutants in the past, such as Mattie Franklin, the mystically-powered Spider-Woman). During the Acts of Vengeance, Owl was one of the villains who attacked Alpha Flight. He was also seen attacking the Fantastic Four with other villains." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.29.235.94 (talk) 15:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Family

Daredevil #14, vol. 4 (May 2015) features (introduces?) Jubula Pride, the Owl's daughter, looking for her father. With the help of Daredevil, she finds him hooked up to some cybernetic equipment in a basement in Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. I do not know how that storyline continues. 89.159.41.232 (talk) 19:26, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
