[edit] Character history
On the 1960s show Birdman and the Galaxy Trio he was the star of two out of three of the segments voiced by Kieth Andies. On the show he was strictly a super hero who wanted nothing more than to save the world from bad guys with his sidekick, an eagle named Avenger. His powers come from energy of the sun, and he can fly with his wings. Birdman taken off t.v. until the mid-1990s when he appeared on four episodes of Space Ghost Coast to Coast voiced by Scott Fineall. On the show he was desperate for money. They also say that he got married to Galaxy Girl, until they got divorced. Birdman hosted the show in the episodes Pilot and Sequel, but both times he got fired. The show revealed that his first name is Harvey. Birdman later got his own show as an attorney which was called Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law voiced by Gary Cole. The show was about him giving up his job as a super hero for being an attorney working for Phil. In almost every episode he defends a classic Hanna-Barbera character, and fails. A lot of his former enemies work with him (like Reducto being a rivial lawyer and Mentok being the judge). This version of him is much less heroic, and more silly and dumb.
