Space Characters are the Birds seen in Angry Birds Space. The first name that was known was "Lazer Bird" from the file name of images added to the Angry Birds Google+ page on February 17, 2012. The "Ice Cube Bird" was mentioned in passing by a Rovio employee at SXSW but could be merely colloquial. The true bird names were later revealed via AngryBirdsNest and The Daily. Every bird (except the Space Eagles) resemble a different Marvel or DC Comics character.

Super Red Bird
Super Red Bird is the classic Red Bird. When pulled through the wormhole into the new Space environment, he found himself outfitted with the Über Mask. His mask resembles those of Wolverine and Batman. The mask has the ability to lock-on to and zoom in on pigs and unknown objects, even from a far distance (as seen in the beginning comic of Utopia).

Lightning Birds
 Lightning Birds are the classic Blue Birds. They have the powers to break ice and triplicate, as in the classic Angry Birds game. They are commonly placed after an Ice Bird due to their great compatibility. Their helmets resemble that of The Flash.

Bomb
Bomb is the classic Black Bird. His power to incinerate anything within a radius of his body is called "heat shock wave." His coat, skin colors and powers resemble Firestorm. If he stays out too long without hitting an object, he will explode automatically.

Terence
Terence is the original Big Brother Bird, but now green in color instead of red like his smaller brother, the Red Bird. Terence is capable of immense destruction due to his size and girth. His new skin color and large size resembles the Hulk. His Noise ability, unlike the Super Red Bird, has a roaring noise like Hulk

Terence launch

Lazer Bird
Lazer Bird is the classic Yellow Bird. In the game, Lazer Bird's abilities are similar to Yellow Bird, with a slightly different control method. Instead of the player tapping the screen to increase speed, tapping now chooses a directional target. Lazer Bird will turn at a sharp angle and accelerate toward the chosen target, ignoring gravity until hitting something. However, he cannot follow a moving target. His goggles resemble those of Cyclops.

In the game, cutscenes, the loading screen, and for the plush toy, the Lazer Bird has a cape. He originally only had a lightning bolt tail, but it was removed and he was wearing a cape in the second Red Planet update.

Orange Bird
The Orange Bird (AKA Atomic Bird) was released on July 26, 2012 as a new character in Utopia His costume resembles that of Firestorm Bird, similar to Fire Bomb Bird, but his ability resembles Lagoon Boy.

Orange Bird still retains his abilities, but with minor changes. He stays inflated for a shorter amount of time, and cannot damage anything while deflating.

Space Eagle
Little is known about the history or origins of the Space Eagle. The Space Eagles play a similar, but slightly different role than the Mighty Eagle. Space Eagles can be summoned using Sardine Cans, just like the Mighty Eagle. When the sardines are launched, a space warp will appear and the Space Eagle will do some damage to the level. The player then continues to play the level as normal with the remaining birds. An Eagle Highscore still appears.

Unlike the Mighty Eagle, there are no time restrictions on use, and you can use several per level. You can earn them through gameplay achievements, and they’re available as an in-app purchase on iOS and Android via the Android Market (Google Play). Space Eagles are also given to you every 24 hours or by defeating the Space King Pig in Pig Bang and Cold Cuts or the Fat Pig Boss in Utopia.

Tip: When you get 100% Total Destruction on all the levels of an episode, 3 feathers will be presented in a bubble as a special item. Behind the feathers, or background of the bubble in technical terms, is a glowing color that signifies which episode you got 100% Total Destruction on. So far the glowing colors are: Pig Bang: Green, Cold Cuts: Turquoise, Fry Me to the Moon: Blue, Utopia: Pink, and the Danger Zone: Red.

If you look in the birds game sprites on Angry Birds Space's files for PC, you can see the Space Eagle in the sprite sheet along with the other birds. This could mean that the Space Eagle might come to PC in the future, but this still isn't confirmed.

The Space Eagle somewhat resembles a raven or crow with it's purple plumage. It also has two plume feathers on top of it's head. The Space Eagles beak appears to be strongly curved, but thats to be expected. Space Eagles appear much larger than the Earth-going Mighty Eagle but are much weaker. Many people are not happy with this and wish that the Space Eagle be swapped with the Mighty Eagle; others just want the Space Eagle to be more powerful with no alteration to the Mighty Eagle.

Space Egg
The Space Egg is an egg in Angry Birds Space. It made it's first appearance in Fry Me To The Moon, where it had been kidnapped by the Mustache Pig. It appeared in level 3-10. After the Angry Birds defeated the Mustache Pig, the Space Egg is saved. It also made appearances in cutscenes of Fry Me to the Moon and Utopia.

The Space Egg was released as a character on July 26, 2012 along with the Orange Bird as part of the "best update ever". If you get 3 stars on every level in a page, an "egg" level will open up. All of these contain the egg as a "bird". The Space Egg can create a small but very powerful black hole that appears on screen for a short time. It can be used kind of as a magnet, to pull things around. When you launch the Space Egg, the antenna glows blue. By getting three stars on all the levels of an episode plus the egg levels, you get a special item bubble.

Space Pigs
The Space Pigs appear to be Earth's Bad Piggies (exception for Fat Pig whom only appears in Space and seems to be an alien). How they came to be in Space or got their updated equipment is unknown at this time. It is known that the Space King used his UFO's grabbing claw to steal eggs which caused the Flock to follow the claw through the wormhole and end up trapped in the world of Space.
 * Small, Medium, and Large Pigs - Footsoldiers of the Space King
 * Helmet Pig - Wears a metal helmet and used to be seen guarding the Pig Fortress on Earth
 * Mustache Pig - The right hand pig of the Space King. He's the oldest of the Pigs. Even though the Mustache Pig first appeared in levels of Cold cuts, his first appearance as the main antagonist is on the episode Fry Me To The Moon. In Fry Me to the Moon, he appears in all 10 levels. In level 3-10 as he floats along with the Space Egg he captured right next to him. After the events of Fry Me to the Moon, in the newest update of Utopia, the Mustache Pig also appears in the levels of Utopia.
 * Space King - The King Pig, now in Space. Space King has a UFO with grabber claws and appears to be responsible for the Flock getting pulled through the wormhole into Space. It was the Space King's idea, while still the King Pig to steal eggs from the Birds in the first place. As Space King, he has some new goals, including stealing the Eggsteroid and continually feeding the Fat Pig. He first appears as a boss battle in level 1-30 in a UFO Tank and then in Cold Cuts level 2-30 in a UFO Spaceship. In Eggsteroid level 7, it debuts the Space King's first appearance as a common enemy. Also in Eggsteroids level 7, there is more than 1 Space King.

Fat Pig
The Fat Pig combs the Universe looking for cosmic food to continually increase his size. He is massive with spots on him similar to the Big Brother Bird. The description of the Fat Pig according to The Daily is: "As ravenous as he is disgusting". The Fat Pig is first seen inceased in a large planet of ice in Cold Cuts. He then breaks free from the planet and moves to Utopia to satisfy his stomach.

His first appearance in game is in level 4-10 (Utopia) as a regular character. He is smaller than he is in 2-20. Despite his extreme size, he is easily popped. On the Angry Birds Facebook Page, a picture shows that the Fat Pig has grown more larger because of it eating more Utopian food. Another thing to note about the Fat Pig is that he resembles the original/old designs of the Bad Piggies than the Angry Birds Google Chrome design.

Boss Strategy
The Boss Fat Pig, which is the Fat Pig from the beginning cutscene, awaits the player on level 4-30, in which he is enormous and serves as a boss. Like its fellow pigs on Earth, the Fat Pig is also unintelligent, as it eats everything in sight, allowing hazardous objects to easily harm it.

The player must wait until the Fat Pig rotates so that the desired hazards can enter its mouth. The player can either knock asteroids into its mouth, feed it burnt popcorn by hitting the popcorn generators, or even hit the Fat Pig with the Birds themselves. (however, only Black Bird and Terence will do any noticeable damage) Continuously feed the Fat Pig hazards until it coughs up an eggstroid, which cannot be obtained.

In the ending cutscene for Utopia, it was revealed that the Boss Fat Pig had consumed the eggsteroid belonging to the Ice Bird. Coughing up the eggsteroid reduced his size to a mere Large Pig with spots.
