Birdman

History
Birdman was a superhero working in the 1960s for a governmental leader named Flacon 7. Ray Randall was imbued with powers of the sun by the sun god Ra, and was able to shoot blasts of solar energy from his hands, form a protective solar shield and fly using a pair of natural wings on his back. The only minor flaw with Birdman's powers is that he has to replenish his solar energies once in a while and can't be out of the sun for too long for fear of his powers diminishing. He fights crime with his trusted pet eagle Avenger and his sidekick, Birdboy, who he saved from a ship wreckage by passing on some of his powers in order to revive him. He now keeps Birdboy around as his ward while the two attempt to find the boy's father and fight crime as a team similar to the relationship of Batman and Robin. Birdman's main enemy is the criminal organisation F.E.A.R who mostly engage in espionage activities to steal major US defense weapons and firearms.

Trivia

 * It is never stated that Birdman operates in the universe of Earth-1A. However, with links to the series creator Alex Toth it is very likely, though this has never been explored.
 * Episodes of Birdman were sandwiched in-between episodes of The Galaxy Trio, to make a full 25 minute episode split between three segments.
 * If the Cartoon Network series Harvey Birdman; Attorney at Law is to be taken as canon, Birdman became a lawyer and represented a lot of Hanna-Barbera characters throughout his career. At the end of the series, Birdman meets his demise by being hit by a bus.
