Birdman, whose real name is Ray Randall,[2][3][4] is a superhero and title character in the Birdman animated franchise. His voice was originated by Keith Andes.

A winged human with extraordinary powers, Birdman is recruited by the top-secret government agency, Inter-Nation Security, to fight evildoers from taking over the world. He gets contacts from his superior, Falcon 7, and he is aided by his eagle companion, Avenger.

In Space Ghost Coast to Coast, his real name was revealed to be Harvey, if this can be believed. He was then reimagined as the star of his own Adult Swim series, becoming Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.

Character description

Birdman gets strength and power from the rays of earth's sun. His superpowers include flight, creating a shield of solid light, and the ability to shoot energy beams from his fists. However, his weakness is that he has to recharge himself periodically, meaning that he would be rendered weak if not exposed to the sun (or any kind of light source) for an extended period of time.
