Created in 1972 by the 3rd SOG (Special Operations Group) when a Lt. Colonel Hank Munro shot a Vietnamese sentry with a Mk22 Hush Puppy. Due to the tension at the time, he inadvertantly said "pwned" instead of "Delta, move in and eliminate all hostiles." The subsequent death of Lt. Col. Munro as he charged a heavily fortified position lead to the term "pwned" being adopted as short-hand for "that dumbass just got his ass whupped in a helluva funny way."

This is a word that my kids use on the internet.... when I asked what it meant, they told me that it was a bastardized version of "owned".
This is a "teen word".. and for some of you to continue arguing over the origins... well, see my example below.

"Urban Dictionary users who continue to argue over the origins of adolescent internet terminology, are totally pwned by the rest of us who really don't give a shit."

Common mistyping of "owned" (because the "p" key is next to "o" on a keyboard). To dominate in a multiplayer game, or to be very very good in some other way ("Metallica pwned at Monsters Of Rock")
