alaxy Trio was the middle
segment in the Saturday morning cartoon Birdman and the
Galaxy Trio. One 6-7 minute Galaxy Trio segment
played between two Birdman
segments during each half-hour show.
Patrolling the galaxy in their
spacecraft Condor One, the Galaxy Trio kept the peace as part of
an intergalactic police force. Each member of the Galaxy Trio
was from a different planet, with the result that each had
unique powers. Vapor Man could transform all or part of himself
into a gaseous form, as well as project various types of vapor
streams at his opponents. Gravity Girl had the power to control
gravity in a localized area by firing gravity rays from her
hands, allowing her to lift or otherwise manipulate the movement
of objects, including herself, through space. Meteor Man could
independently enlarge different parts of his body (usually his
arms and hands) to gain super strength in the enlarged limb. All
three could also survive in the vacuum of space without
assistance.
Condor One
had weapons and shields, but the Galaxy Trio mostly relied on
their own powers to overcome their opponents. Of some
convenience though was a transporter device that allowed the
crew to teleport (they called it displacing) to and from the
ship. The only other piece of equipment aboard the ship of some
consequence (as far as serving a known function) was their video
console, from which they received mission assignments from
Intergalactic Headquarters. |
