Space Characters/Birds


 * -|Super Red=

The game was first teased in early 2012, showing a costumed Red in a short video. As the game kept being teased, it was finally announced as the 4th installment of the series. Red, along with a few other members of his flock, were shown in their space costumes, all based on comic book characters.

The game's story begins with Red and the others watching after the eggs when the Ice Bird and his eggsteroid fly through a wormhole, which had just opened in the sky. A large tentacle then shoots out of the wormhole, grabbing the eggsteroid but also the flock's eggs, causing them to sling themselves into the void. His first appearance was in Pig Bang.

Through the portal, all of the characters are zapped into their space form, and they fly out of the portal into space, beginning the events of the game.

Red is known as "Super Red Bird" in the game and is once again the main icon and character.

Red and all the other characters received their own promotional videos, which can be found on youtube, and also received their own plush toys. (excluding Atomic Bird, who didn't appear when the game was first released)

Gameplay
Red, once again, does not have an ability. However, he is slightly tougher, and can forcefully shove structures down if they are light enough, along with heavy boulders and spacecraft.

It is also not widely known, but if the player taps the screen when Red is in flight near a pig, then he will make his battle cry and emit a flash of red, and the nearby pig will "jump". It is not extremely effective but can pop the pig or topple over the structure underneath if it is light enough. (this will only work in a gravitational pull) Terence can also do this, but much stronger.

While Red's mask does not give him any special powers, it is known that it can zoom in and out like a pair of binoculars, allowing Red to be much more alert and attentive to nearby trouble. This is not a feature that is available to the player during gameplay but only is used in cutscenes.


 * -|The Lightning Birds=

Jay, Jake and Jim were first teased along with the rest of the birds when the game was being introduced in 2012. They were then introduced along with the game as the "Lightning Birds". The Blues and some of their flock members were introduced as superheroes, based off of comic book characters.

After their first appearance in the Pig Bang episode, they will appear in all of the following episodes as playable characters.

The story begins with the Blues and the other birds looking after the eggs, when Ice Bird shoots out of an opening wormhole with his eggsteroid. A robotic arm shoots out of the wormhole and kidnaps the eggsteroid and the flock's eggs, causing the Blues and the other birds to shoot themselves into the vortex, sending them to space.

Through the portal, the birds are transformed into their space counterparts, along with the Blues. They fly out of the portal into the final frontier, beginning the events of the game.

The Lightning Birds' appearance is based off of the Flash, though their ability has nothing to do with speed.

The Lightning Birds, along with all of the other birds (excluding Atomic Bird) recieved their own promotional videos which can be found on YouTube, and their own merchandise.

Their launch noise and corpse noises are just modified versions of their original.

Gameplay
The Blues yet again have the same ability, though are now charged with electricity. (though this does not do much) When they hit a surface, they have an electric shock, though this does not actually do anything, and is merely just for show.

The Blues are also commonly placed after Ice Bird, due to their compatibility with destroying ice/glass.


 * -|Space Bomb=

Bomb, along with a few other birds, was teased in early 2012 as part of a new project. This soon revealed to be Angry Birds Space, the fourth installment of the series. Bomb appeared with the other birds in their space counterparts, based on comic book characters.

In the game's story, Bomb and the other birds were taking care of the eggs when suddenly, a portal opened up in the sky with Ice Bird and his eggsteroid flying through. Out with them came a robotic arm, grabbing the eggsteroid and the flock's eggs. They sling themselves into the portal in pursuit of the eggs and begin to change while in the portal. They shoot out of the vortex in their costumes into the final frontier, beginning the events of the game.

Bomb is known as "Firebomb" and is based on the comic book superhero Firestorm. His fuse is now lit with fire (though it is normal in-game) and his chest feathers are now red. He also wears a ring around his body, with an eggsteroid emblem on his chest.

Bomb, along with all of the other members of his flock, received promotional videos for their characters, which can be found on youtube. They also had their own Space-themed merchandise.

He has a corpse sprite that can be found if the player hacks into the game's files, but it is not used in-game.

Gameplay
Firebomb Bird has the same basic ability as the regular Bomb. However, his ability is much more "firey", emitting a ring of fire around his body when he explodes.

His ability is commonly used to cause debris to fly off into structures, such as stacks of stone bricks or boulders floating in space.

If the player slings Bomb very weakly into zero-gravity, then he will slowly decrease in speed, stop, and disintegrate without exploding.

Chuck, along with a few other birds in the flock, was first teased in a new project for Rovio at the beginning of 2012. This was soon introduced to be the next installment of the series, Angry Birds Space. Chuck, along with the other birds, were featured with superhero costumes based on comic book characters.
 * powers = Speeding and firing in the direction when the screen is tapped
 * firstlevel = Pig Bang Level 20
 * gender = Male
 * species = Canary (Serinus canaria)
 * locations = Many levels after Pig Bang
 * strength = Normal
 * size = Medium
 * background=#a800d6|bgcolor=#E0B0FF}}

The game's story begins with Chuck and the other birds taking care of the eggs, when a wormhole opens up in the sky, with Ice Bird shooting out with his eggsteroid. A robotic arm follows shortly after, and kidnaps the eggsteroid, along with the flock's eggs. They sling themselves into the portal to chase after the eggs. Through the vortex, they are transformed into their space counterparts. They fly out into the final frontier, beginning the events of the game.

Chuck is now known as "Lazer Bird", based on the comic book character Cyclops. He now has goggles, a flowing red cape, and a spiky top feather. His most notable difference is his color change, now being purple rather than yellow.

In gameplay, Lazer Bird previously had a tail feather resembling his top feather but was eventually replaced with his cape.

This is the first time that Chuck is the fourth bird introduced, rather than the third. He swaps places with Bomb.

Gameplay
Lazer Bird can fly into whatever direction the player taps to, which is the first time Chuck has ever received an ability change. This makes him an extremely useful character to have, as he can quite literally go anywhere the player desires.

When his ability is activated, he will not be affected by gravitational fields or zero-gravity until he hits a surface.

When he changes direction, he increases speed, giving him more strength.

His strengths and weaknesses are pretty much the same as Chuck's. He cannot destroy glass very well, can destroy multiple shards of wood, and cannot destroy stone.

It is notable that the longer the distance Lazer Bird has to travel, the slower and weaker he becomes. The player should keep this in mind, as if he has to travel all the way across the level, he will not be able to destroy anything.


 * -|The Incredible Terence=

Terence, along with a few other birds were teased in early 2012 for a new project of Rovio's. This soon revealed to be the fourth installment of the series, Angry Birds Space. Terence, along with all the other birds, received new counterparts and designs, all based on comic book characters.

The game begins with Terence isolated under a tree as the flock tends to the eggs. Suddenly, a vortex opens up in the sky and Ice Bird flies out with his eggsteroid, shortly followed by a robotic arm. The arm grabs the eggsteroid and the flock's eggs and goes back into the vortex, causing the flock to fly into the portal to pursue the eggs, Terence following.

Through the portal Terence, along with the rest of the flock, transforms into his space counterpart.

The flock makes it out of the vortex and into the final frontier, beginning the events of the game.

Terence is known as the "Incredible Terence" and is based on Marvel's comic book character, The Incredible Hulk. He doesn't make any changes appearance-wise, but his color is completely changed into green, and his spots and creases are now dark green.

Terence and the other characters (excluding Atomic Bird) received their own promotional videos, along with merchandise to advertise the game.

Gameplay
Terence has the same ability that he does in the previous games, though players now rely on his force rather than his strength. Terence now pushes the objects he hits, rather than destroy them, knocking them into gravitational fields and often having destructive results.

He also has a small unknown feature; when the screen is tapped when he is nearby a pig, he will roar, sending out flashes of green and causing the nearby pig to jump up. This will only happen in a gravitational field and isn't extremely useful, though it can do small damage.

The Wingman also appears in the form of space Terence with the wingman costume as a powerup. This time, however, Wingman can send out a gravitational field around him when the screen is tapped, attracting nearby objects for a couple of seconds until the field disappears and he disintegrates.

Trivia

 * He is also the first bird that didn't appear in the regular Angry Birds games. The second is Silver.
 * Unlike Fat Pig, he has no appearances besides Angry Birds Space.
 * In the last two episodes of Angry Birds Space, Brass Hogs and Solar System; there are no levels with him.
 * He makes a cameo in Boba's Delivery as a toy and in Angry Birds Journey as a statue.


 * -|Atomic Bird=

Very early in the Utopia update, PC fans were able to access game files and revealed sprite sheets that contained Bubbles in space, or "Atomic Bird". These files quickly managed to spread on Angry Birds sites and soon, most fans knew of the files. Once Rovio began teasing the release of a new bird, it was already known that it would be Bubbles.

Surely enough, Rovio announced the "best update ever" for Angry Birds Space, and that included the debut of Bubbles' first costumed/counterpart character. He first appears in the Utopia theme, which is very fitting for his character, for his love of sweets. After his first appearance in the level Utopia 4-11, he appears as a playable character in all of the following themes.

He is the first and only new playable character to be introduced into the game. (excluding Wingman, who is just Terence in power-up form)

Utopia's Description in The World of Angry Birds Official Guide:

''The flock was convinced they had seen the last of Space King Pig and his cosmic cronies, but Super Red wasn't so sure. using his mask's hyper-zoom vision he scanned the sector. He was right. The Piggies had retreated to a distant galaxy, a strange realm where the planets seemed to be made of grub. Worst of all, Big Bork was about to tuck into an eggsteroid!''

''Luckily reinforcements had arrived from Piggy Island. Feeling left out, Bubbles had made his way through the wormhole. Had the piggies finally bitten off more than they could chew?''

Gameplay
While in the first three games, Bubble's ability is similar, almost identical, there are multiple notable changes to Bubbles' ability in this game. Bubbles is notably much lighter, and when his ability is activated he tends to begin drifting from the gravitational fields. This is much more obvious when he is underwater, as he almost shoots up out of the water when he inflates.

He is also much weaker in terms of strength, with the length of time where he is inflated shortened. He will not be able to destroy as many bricks, he will be decent at destroying both glass and wood but will merely bounce off of stone.

He is also not materialized when he deflates - once he begins deflating, he can no longer knock into and destroy objects and pigs near him.

He also now has 2 sprites for when he inflates, rather than one. There is a sprite of him mid-inflating and fully inflated, however, the sprite of him mid-inflating only appears for an extremely short period of time. In fact, most players will only be able to see it if they pause the level at the right time.

Mighty Buzzard is the Beak Impact version of Space Eagle and Mighty Eagle that appears in Angry Birds Space. He is based off Buzz Aldrin.
 * -|Mighty Buzzard=

Appearance
He is Space Eagle but dark blue, with a soft beak, white hair, happy expression and wears a white astronaut suit with a black collar. In the game, he doesn't have cheeks.

Gameplay
He can be summoned if the player throws a sardine can in Beak Impact. He will then appear from a Black Hole and destroy everything that is near, acting the same way as Space Eagle.
