Added DiffLines:

* LighterAndSofter: The original comic included mature subject matter such as racist bullying, an assassination attempt, an ex-Nazi, and implied deaths. The ''OWL'' version, being aimed at a preteen audience, excises these heavier elements in favour of a light-hearted adventure story.

* StableTimeLoop: In one comic, Cody travels back in time to ask a writer where he'd gotten the idea for his character. The writer tells him about seeing a strange figure in the woods as a boy. Cody jumps back to the time he'd specified, and sees a meteor heading towards town. As Arrowhead, he deflects the meteor, and is spotted in the aftermath by a group of children, one of which would grow up to be the writer; Cody-as-Arrowhead himself had been the writer's inspiration.

A {{superhero}} comic that has run in ''Magazine/{{OWL}}'' since September 2018. It is written and drawn by Jay Stephens.

Cody Meekis is an ordinary student who one day discovers a high-tech suit buried in a construction site. The suit gives its wearer the powers of flight, telekinesis, and infra-red vision. Cody shares the discovery with his best friend Del Dixon. Together they restore the suit to working condition and, adopting the shared superhero identity of Arrowhead, test out the powers of the suit. Del's sister Deena overhears them talking about the suit, and confronting Cody with the knowledge, gets him to let her try it out. She shares her own discovery: a time travel device that was buried near the suit. From then on, she and Cody become the time-traveling superhero Arrowhead.
