Trivia[]
- F.O.W.L. is another in a long fiction tradition of secret organizations with names that are acronyms designed for the word that the letters form rather than acronyms that form naturally.
- F..O.W.L.'s refers to "Fowl", which is a term for specific birds such as chickens or ducks (the latter of which both shows F.O.W.L. is involved in are based on). But it can also refer to "foul", which can either mean bad or evil.
- Specific inspiration sources for F.O.W.L. may have been SPECTRE and KAOS. Also, the reboot's FOWL's foundation is similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of HYDRA, since both of the organizations were founded in the belief that the world should be conquered to be safe.
- It's completely unknown what happened to the rest of F.O.W.L. members after Bradford's defeated and that since the organization was presumably disbanded, as their whereabouts are currently unknown.
- When Bradford wields the Split Sword of Swanstantine, the logo can be seen as the shoulder plates of his armor.
