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.

Red Bird
Red Bird (a.k.a. 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. The mask allows Red to see a view called "sling scope," showing him the best flight path to do the most damage. His mask resembles Wolverine and Batman. He also has the ability to use Infrared Vision by using his Uber Mask to target and lock on to pigs and unknown objects, even from a far distance (As seen in the Beginning Comic of Utopia). In the game, if red bird is near a pig in a gravitational force and the screen is tapped, the pig/s will get scared.

Blue Birds
Blue Birds (a.k.a. Lightning Birds) are the classic Blue Birds. They have the power to break ice (and triplicate as in the classic Angry Birds game). They are commonly placed after an Ice Bird. Their helmets resemble The Flash. Despite their great adventures in space, the blues often felt homesick.

Bomb Bird
Bomb Bird (a.k.a. Powerbomb Bird) 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. He is also called the The Easy Tiger. If he stays out to long without hitting an object, he will explode.

Fact: In the loading screen and cutscenes, Fire Bomb bird has fire lit on his head feather. The fire is not lit on him during gameplay.

Terence
Terence (a.k.a. Monster Bird or The Incredible Terence) is the original Big Brother Bird, but now green in color. Terence is capable of immense destruction due to his size and girth. His new skin color and large size resembles the Hulk. However, unlike the original Big Brother Bird, he has the ability to scare multiple Bad Piggies from a far distance.

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. Instead of the player tapping the screen to increase speed, tapping now chooses a directional target. Laser Bird will turn at a sharp angle and accelerate toward the target tap, ignoring gravity until hitting something. His goggles resemble Cyclops.

In the loading screen and for the plush, Lazer Bird has his cape. During the gameplay however, he does not have his cape.

Ice Bird
Ice Bird  (a.k.a. Ice Bomb Bird) is an extraterrestrial companion to the Flock once they arrive in Space. He convinces the Flock to help him in his quest to recover the Eggsteroid. He is intent on saving his home planet from the Space Pigs, but Red is convinced he can help get them home. His power is to freeze enemies solid in an icy explosion. His powers resemble Iceman.

In the game, Ice Bird freezes an area on impact. Ice Bird explodes a couple of seconds after impact with any piece of structure, and covers the surrounding blocks and piggies with ice making the them brittle and easier to break. If the screen is not tapped, Ice Bird will hesitate for a few seconds, still turning surfaces it touches into ice; making the Ice Bird a technical variation of Bomb. The Ice Bird's explosion doesn't damage any regular blocks or piggies, but it will set off any explosive objects in range. Really, Ice Bird is kind of useless if you don't have the Blue Birds due to their ability to break ice.

Orange Bird
The Orange Bird will be released in a future update of Angry Birds Space. His costume resembles Firestorm but his ability resembles Lagoon Boy. It is not known at this time if his name will be anything other than "Orange Bird", though he already has the fan alias of Atom Bird.

Space Eagles
Little is known about the history or origins of Space Eagles. The Space Eagles play a similar, but slightly different role than the Mighty Eagle. With Space Eagles, they can be called using Sardine cans, just as the Mighty Eagle. 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 appears as well.

But don’t worry, Space Eagles travel in flocks -- so if your first try doesn’t do the job, bring on another Space Eagle! 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, or 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.

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: Unknown, 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 isn't still confirmed.

The Space Eagle looks like a raven or crow with it's purple plumage. It also has two plume feathers on top of it's head. It's beak appears to be slightly curved. It is slightly bigger than the earthly Mighty Eagle.

Egg
An egg is shown in several images for Angry Birds Space, appearing with the Flock. It has the appearance of a normal, white egg, but with an antenna. This appears to be a sentient egg, as with the Boy and Girl Eggs and the Umbrella egg from the Angry Birds Seasons: Cherry Blossom episode. Egg probably got the antenna alike the way the Flock got their transformations. It appears in level 3-10.

This Egg has appeared in the cutscenes in Fry Me to the Moon and Utopia, but might hatch in future chapters.

Fact: In addition to appearing in cutscenes and level 3-10, the Egg also appeared as a Special Item Bubble when players get 3 Stars on all the levels in Fry Me to the Moon.

Space Pigs
The Space Pigs appear to look like Earth's Bad Piggies. 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. His first and latest appearance as a boss is on the episode Fry Me To The Moon, and level 3-10 as he floats along with the Space Egg he captured right next to him.
 * 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.
 * Fat Pig (a.k.a. Mega Pork) - 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". He also appears on the episode "Cold Cuts" title screen. His first appearance in game is in level 4-10 (Utopia) as a minor boss. He is smaller than he is in 2-20. Despite his extreme size, he is easily popped.
