First Appearance: Double-0-Duck

Launchpad is mistaken by SHUSH agents (the enemy of FOWL then called simply Duckburg Intelligence Agency or DIA for short) to be Bruno Von Beak, an agent of FOWL. When the mistake is discovered, J. Gander Hooter decides to recruit

the mismatched crash-prone pilot to spy on the Foreign Organization of World Larceny. Bruno's contact is a woman named "Feathers Galore", who later becomes an alley against the evil agency's current leader: Dr. NoGood, who falls into a vat of bubbling green stuff (which might have been vanishing potion intended for the worlds money).

F.O.W.L. Disposition

When the evil corporation headed by Taurus Bulba known as Quackwerks became very powerful, S.H.U.S.H. and F.O.W.L. became obsolete. Almost everyone in the spay business joined Quackwerks. However, Steelbeak and the shadowy F.O.W.L. Command stuck with it. The high command did not want to out done so they went beyond the standard espionage tricks and looked into ancient texts. They found a being from beyond the stars they could call upon to enslave not only all of St. Canard but all the earth: Duckthulhu!

Steelbeak didn't agree with the high command, so he called upon the person who had foiled their fowl fiendish plans in the past: Darkwing duck! They attempt to sabotage F.O.W.L. operations, but they are forced to retreat when they are attacked by a large army of F.O.W.L. Eggmen.

Leadership

In the group's original appearance (which was not in comics, but on Ducktales the tv show), the leader of FOWL is Dr. NoGood.

The leaders of this fiendish organization are quite mysterious. They are not seen other than in shadow.

In DuckTales, the leaders of FOWL are finally revealed to be Bradford Buzzard and his two clones Buford and Bentley Buzzard who were Scrooge McDuck's board of directors secretly leading the organization in the shadows.
