==Summary==
Sam Wilson is the son of Paul Wilson, a minister, and Darlene Wilson. Paul died trying to break up a neighborhood fight, and Darlene was killed during a mugging. Before they died, they instilled a great deal of idealism and a desire to help the fellow man into him. Experimented upon by the Red Skull with the Cosmic Cube to grant him the ability to telepathically communicate and control with birds, he aided Captain America in stopping his evil schemes. Steve and Sam would become great life-long friends. Captain America trained Sam in martial arts, making him a very skilled combatant, and both Black Panther and Iron Man have provided him with wings which give him the ability to fly. These wings have varied in design, from hardlight wings to regenerating vibranium.
After Steve Rogers lost his super soldier serum at the hands of the Iron Nail, he passed the mantle of Captain America down to Sam Wilson.

*Falcon's Wings: The Falcon's original jet-powered glider wings allowed him to fly at speeds up to 250 mph. Black Panther supplied Falcon with a new costume and wings. An emitter array on Falcon's back creates holographic "hard light" wings with a maximum wingspan of up to 50 feet (15 m). Controlled by a cybernetic link, the wings can be instantly reconfigured into "dozens of different cruise configurations." A "magnetic drive," in turn, provides the thrust needed to get Falcon airborne. The emitter also possesses GPS Jamming Devices that prevent satellite tracking, while the hard-light wings interfere with infra-red tracking. A Vibranium microweave was added to the costume itself, making Falcon resistant to small arms fire. The entire system is controlled mentally through cybernetic circuitry in the Falcon's mask. The costume has in the past featured a hidden "talon," a cybernetically controlled grappling line built into the gauntlets of his costume which he uses to entangle opponents, hook objects, or for swinging and climbing when his wings are detached. The costume's visors come equipped with various capabilities, including infrared lenses, giving him the ability to see objects by their infrared signature at night, magnification capabilities, and remote imaging sensors that allow a full 360 degree of vision when activated. The cowl also has a wideband receiver and transmitter with an unspecified range. The suit was originally built by Wakandan scientists, with costume modifications by Desmond Burrell. The wings have been modified by Tony Stark, as Sam said after saving New York from Zola's bomb, making them in full-vibranium: they've been capable of absorbing the whole explosive power of the bomb, saving Falcon from certain death.
*Cybernetic Implant: Sam has an implant in his brain that enhances his ability to see what birds see and transmit the visuals into a data storage facility that then converts the visuals into images and videos
Intelligence: Gifted (He is an expert martial artist, tactician, and has amazing leadership skills.)
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Avian Telepathy: Sam was given the ability to telepathically link with birds endowed by the Red Skull using the Cosmic Cube. This link is strongest with his companion Redwing but he is also able to extend his empathic link to other birds making it possible for him to see through their eyes. He has also shown the ability to control birds. He is also a skilled handler and trainer of birds even without his mental powers. These abilities work on every bird including some extent of telepathic reading of Inhuman Bird People. Nick Fury's intel classified him as power level 6
