In The Eyes... Of The OWL! Mr. Klein hires the Owl as his next operative in a plot to destroy Daredevil, however, not wanting to be ordered around and treated as an mere lackey, the Owl decides to initiate his own plan. Sending his Owl-themed army to rob a jewelry store, the robbery attracts the attention of not only Daredevil, but the news media, who televises the battle between Daredevil and the Owl.
As the Owl makes his escape in his owl-copter, Daredevil hitches a ride and battles his foe aboard the helicopter. With nobody manning the ship, it crashes and explodes in New York Harbor. The whole event was televised on TV, and Karen witnesses the entire spectacle and presumes that DD has died in the crash.
