Falcon new captain america9/9/2023 ![]() ![]() In either case, we see a hero that is nothing but fit to take over the mantle of Captain America himself. That changed in his cinematic incarnation featured in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, as Wilson became a counselor for returning soldiers suffering from PTSD. When he was introduced back in 1969, Wilson was a social worker that worked with inner city youths in his Harlem neighborhood. In both the comics, as well as Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson is a social worker who wants to help people rise above their life circumstances. While most Marvel characters have some sort of background in a field that's dedicated to understanding and bettering the world around them, Sam Wilson has one of the most humanistic professions out of all of them. His Heroics Don't Depend On Supervillains Wounded during a battle with Nazi villain Master Man, Sam is given a blood transfusion with Captain America's blood, thus giving him the powers that would later help him best his father's killer/the man who wounded him in the first place. While he didn't have his mental connection to birds in the Heroes Reborn universe, he did gain Super Soldier powers from the Cap. That incarnation is contained within the pages of the Heroes Reborn universe, Captain America Vol 2, #1 has both Sam and his father, Abraham, fighting alongside Captain America in World War II. ![]() (in the Ultimate Marvel Universe), has fought in the Civil War alongside the Captain (in the Earth-717 universe), and even got to be president at one point (in Daredevil: End Of Days.) Though one incarnation above all would serve as the perfect precursor to where we are today. Throughout Marvel's history, the character of Sam Wilson/The Falcon has been "an explorer, adventurer, and scientist" who would work with/become a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. The announcement that Sam Wilson would be the new Captain America has some fans surprised, but if they were to look back at the history of the character's other incarnations, this isn't that much of a surprise. Thanks to some help from the Black Panther, The Falcon got a costume upgrade with all sorts of gadgets (such as GPS jamming, a grappling hook, and Vibranium micro-weave fiber, which is resistant to "small arms fire"). ![]() Surely enough the harness was destroyed in Captain America and the Falcon #2. The Falcon's original flight harness had detachable wings that were powered by jets and solar energy, but as any good hero will tell you though, that first suit never lasts forever. The Falcon is also proficient in hand-to-hand combat, as well as gymnastics.Īs for his flight abilities, they are a feat of man-made engineering. Fanciful powers aside, Wilson does have a lot of practical skills he can use. Eventually, he hones his abilities and becomes able to do this with any bird in the world, as well as gaining the power to access the memories of the birds of the world. Not only do the trainer and the animal have a mental link, but Sam can also see through the eyes of Redwing. However, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The Falcon Can Soar With (And Talks With) The Birds Of The WorldĪs stated before, Sam Wilson and his pet falcon Redwing forged a strong mental link after the Red Skull had used the Cosmic Cube on the two of them. ![]()
