List of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law and Birdgirl characters

This article lists the characters that appear on the Hanna-Barbera/NBC program Birdman and the Galaxy Trio (1967–1968), Adult Swim program Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law (2001–2007; 2018), its video game adaption, and its spin-off sequel series Birdgirl (2021–present), the latter two series being based on the title character's depictions in Space Ghost Coast to Coast (1994–2001; 2001–2004; 2006–2008)

Harvey Birdman (voiced by Gary Cole) is a superhero who starred in the Hanna-Barbera show Birdman and the Galaxy Trio in the 1960s. Birdman's secret alter ego from that show, Ray Randall, is not mentioned in this series, though it can be found hidden in the opening credits; as well, in the episode "Deadomutt, Part 2", a police mugshot of Harvey identifies him as "Harvey R. R. Birdman", indicating his full legal name is now Harvey Raymond Randall Birdman.

Birdman gets strength and power from sunlight, and grows weak if kept away from the sun for too long. His superpowers include flight, though as Harvey Birdman, he often completely forgets about this. He also has the ability to create a shield of solid light, and the ability to shoot destructive energy beams from his fists. These powers are thought to stem from the crest on his helmet, though Harvey is not entirely sure of the crest's true role in his powers.

He has since retired from his superhero job and is now working for the law firm of Sebben & Sebben. Harvey is generally honest, a little dim, 6'6", and has large wings growing out of his back, genetically inherited from his father. His clients consist of other Hanna-Barbera characters of the past and present.

Birdman was seemingly killed in the series finale when run over by a bus, but turns out to be a clone of him created in the penultimate episode as he appears in the epilogue movie.

Phil Ken Sebben (voiced by Stephen Colbert in the TV series, Stephen Stanton in the video game) is the deranged president and co-founder of the law firm Sebben & Sebben. In the original Birdman series, Phil's character was codenamed "Falcon Seven" (Falcon 7). His name in Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law is a play on these words (Falcon Seven = Phil Ken Sebben). He is recognizable by his blond hair, an eyepatch and a dark suit. He co-founded the firm with twin brother Bill when they were twenty-six years old, the two only told apart by having their eyepatches on opposite eyes. He has a habit of laughing whenever he says a double entendre or a non sequitur, followed by a short joke. For instance, his arm seems to have been turned backward after falling off a building. Once he gets up, Phil asks a passerby "Hey lady, I need a yank. Ha ha, Dislocation."

Flashbacks to Phil's childhood invariably show him engaging in extremely dangerous practices to his left eye, yet did not go blind in that eye until he became an office worker. These same flashbacks also show that he believes his eyepatch not to be his most noticeable physical characteristic, but rather an embarrassing scar which he received from a broken binder clip (which he grew his mustache to cover). He has numerous vision problems; it is implied that he is blind in the eye not covered by his eyepatch, and he states that he "sees everything 3 feet to the left" of where they really are, and must account for this fact. Said partial blindness causes him to kill Birdman in the series finale by hitting him with the bus that supposedly killed him in an earlier part of the season, crashing it into a building and showing everyone Birdman's blood to confirm his death. He was the 46.5th United States president in Harvey Birdman Attorney General and was killed off in Birdgirl. First appearance: "Death By Chocolate."

Peanut (voiced by Thomas Michael Allen) is Harvey's old protégé as Birdboy, who was hired by Harvey to be his legal clerk. Unlike Birdman, Peanut's powers are not biological; his wings are mechanical, and his shield and energy beams come from "power bands" on his wrists. In most cases, he is unnervingly cool and calculated, often in extreme contrast to the goings-on around him, but can often be seen working behind the scenes towards uncertain or explicitly seedy ends, often sexual in nature, involving Harvey's female clients, or females associated with clients. He sports a pink and green sweater-vest and often speaks in a hushed and whispered tone. He has an ongoing rivalry/partnership with Avenger where they dig a large hole in the middle of Harvey's office or play Foozball, bombing Harvey in his sleep with a toy plane (but with real bombs), and even assembling a depth charge in the office, together. He speaks Japanese, Spanish and French. First appearance: "Shaggy Busted."
