Before he became a [[WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw defense lawyer]], Birdman was the headliner of ''Birdman and the Galaxy Trio'', part of Creator/HannaBarbera's brief SuperHero cycle in the mid-1960s.

Birdman and his eagle companion, Avenger, fought crime wherever he was sent by his superior, Falcon-7. Birdman had one weakness: HE gradually lost his strength if he was away from direct sunlight for an extended period. The villains often exploited this by capturing Birdman and keeping him in a poorly lighted room.

The Galaxy Trio, stars of the backup segment, consisted of Vapor Man, who could turn his body into any kind of gas; Meteor Man, who could enlarge his fists or any other part of his body, and Gravity Girl, who could make people and objects seem lighter or heavier.
