Mighty Eagle/History and appearances

History
"Armed with an unbelievable knowledge of pig weaknesses, Mighty Eagle is one of the greatest heroes of the war with the pigs. But one harrowing incident sent him into self-imposed exile on a mountaintop. On his watch, the pigs were able to steal the eggs, and Mighty Eagle's failure to protect them shamed him so much that he retreated into solitude."

- Angry Birds: Fed up, Feathered, and Furious

Past
In the 90's, Mighty Eagle and Zeta met each other in high school at Eagle Island, and they both started dating. They enjoyed each other's company until one day, Zeta proposed to him. Mighty Eagle, was not ready for the next step. So, he fled and left her at the altar in cowardice.

Mighty Eagle was responsible for multiple heroic acts to Bird Island, making it a liveable and peaceful place filled with happiness, nothing bad would happen under his protection. Once remaining as a scary mystery, Mighty Eagle lived in the highest mountain of the island, Eagle's Den, that possesses a large cave that fills the entire mountain, considered by Mighty Eagle his headquarter, the Eagle's Den has the format of an eagle's head, probably formed naturally.

As a gift to his heroic acts, the birds carved a statue in his image that points to his mountain, not only this but his wings that are perfect for his ability to fly gave him the fame of a mystical creature, believed by many birds to be false. But as the years passed and he ate a lot of food, Mighty Eagle gained fat and had to retire.

Present
The pigs were retreating into a large steel fortified base invulnerable to the birds’ effort.

Suddenly, Chuck pulled out a can of sardines as an idea to get help from the Mighty Eagle. Then, Red, in fear, went to the cave where Mighty Eagle dwells and asked for assistance while offering the sardines. Mighty Eagle then looks at the can and accepts the deal.

Chef Pig came out of the base, later on, scouting. He was suddenly knocked on the head by the sardine can. He looked around, saw the can of sardines, and the shadow of the eagle appears. The chef panics, squeals, runs inside, takes the eggs out of the fortress, and waves a white flag, indicating a surrender, but unfortunately for him, he got crushed by the Mighty Eagle. The eggs were finally safe and retrieved to the birds.

At the end of the video, Mighty Eagle reveals himself all black in front of the camera making a loud noise in his jumpscare and the scary music makes the video end.

The Angry Birds Movie
He appeared as a secondary character in this movie having a new design which was later used in other media.

When the pigs were about to turn the eggs into lunch, Mighty Eagle used his amazing ability again to give them back to his parents.

After this heroic act, which incorrectly gave all the fame to him, the birds rebuilt the statue, depicting him as a large bird that saved all the eggs with Red only crying on his knees, not considering that Red and his friends made most of the work. After leaving Bird Island, Mighty Eagle still helps the birds in defeating the pigs, still loving sardines and living in a smaller cave, Mighty Eagle is even scarier.

He appeared as a minor character in this movie. He was scared of Zeta though eventually, Mighty Eagle arrived to make amends to Zeta, but she quarrels with him, revealing his name as Ethan and that he made her give birth to a hatchling he was unaware of named Debbie. While Zeta is distracted, Silver tells Chuck to tie up the weapon using a Super String, which catches and decelerates the lava balls when Zeta fires them. As the rope breaks, Zoe, Vi-Vi and Sam-Sam and the 3 piglets traveling above Eagle Island help grasp it. The lava balls slide back into the weapon, destroying the base.

Everyone escapes the exploding base, just as Zeta notices Debbie missing. Seeing her ice shoes under debris, Zeta believes her to be dead and begins to regret her actions just as Mighty Eagle appears under the debris, revealing that he protected Debbie from being crushed by a metal plate. After witnessing Mighty Eagle's heroic act, Zeta decides to settle her differences with him while showing gratitude and marries Mighty Eagle while Red performs their marriage. After the marriage, Mighty Eagle joined the others in dancing.

The player can also try three free levels with a sardine tin. Mighty Eagle also appears in The Mighty League teaching the player how to play the event and is featured in the Master League trophy and an emerald version of him appears as the last stop the player can get in the league. He uses a cartoonish movie design instead of his classic one when he is teaching.

Gameplay
Mighty Eagle can be used the classic way; a bit after a tin is launched, he will fly where it was targeted and will bounce away when he reaches the ground, giving feather points. He can destroy any type of material and can obtain the eggs. When the Mighty Eagle strikes the ground, a shockwave is triggered and the pigs are launched into the air; all joints (links that connect objects) will separate, which could cause even more damage (e.g. ropes will split into their individual segments, hanging objects will fall). All the pigs in the level are automatically defeated even if Mighty Eagle didn't reach them.
