Origins of "Owned" pics? (i.e...pwned, pwn3d, 0wn3d)

[edro]

What was the original "Owned" pic? And where did it come from?

Yeah, we all know what it means now, but what was the original?

pwn3d started out by a misspelling in a map in the game Warcraft. THe map maker decided when the person won it should say something about owning the other player, instead he misspelled it to say pwned.
