The Galaxy Trio!


Part of Hanna-Barbera's Birdman show, The Galaxy Trio were a terrific blend of vintage superheroics and sci-fi adventure. They came across as three professionals working together for the common good. You had the sense there was a rich back story for each of them, but it was rarely touched upon.

  1. How I loved them.

    The only bit of backstory I can remember for any of the characters was the other two being surprised to discover Gravity Girl was royalty when her father, a king, summoned them for help. (Mind you, I haven't seen that cartoon since it first aired, so I can only wonder at the sheer randomness of things that get permanently lodged in our memory.)

  2. That sounds right. They did at least one story on each of the planets they come from, but as I recollect little of a personal story was added in most.
