## Summary

**Samuel Thomas "Sam" Wilson**, better known as the **Falcon**, was a former United States Air Force pararescue airman who left active duty when his wing-man Riley died in combat, choosing instead to begin helping any of his fellow veterans who were suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder at Veterans Affairs. During this time, Wilson met and soon became an ally of Captain America during the beginning of the HYDRA Uprising, assisting him in bringing down Alexander Pierce's schemes for Project Insight before then choosing to remain with Captain America. Falcon later joined the Avengers, and has been an active member ever since. In 2023, a retiring Steve Rogers entrusted his Vibranium Shield to Wilson, choosing him to be his successor. Sam then teamed up with Bucky Barnes to fight against the Flag Smashers, and eventually accepted his role as the new **Captain America**.

* **EXO-7 Falcon:** Prototype jet-pack with wings that enables the user to fly. The wings can also be used as defensive and offensive weapons, as they are highly flexible and bulletproof. It also stores miniature guided missiles that seek out targets predetermined by Redwing.

* **Redwing:** A Drone mounted on the EXO-7 Falcon's back that assists Falcon during missions to survey an area for enemies, which allowed Falcon to confirm Crossbones' location before his attack. During combat missions Redwing is fitted with twin guns that extend from both wings for offence, as well as a projectile grappling handcuff line on its underside, which Falcon used against Spider-Man to throw him out of a window.
* **Captain America Uniform:** Following the brutal killing of flag smasher Nico by the then-Captain America John Walker, Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes retook Captain America's Shield, after which Walker was stripped of his military rank along with the mantle of Captain America. As Wilson trained with the shield, Barnes had the Wakandan Design Group create a new Captain America uniform for Wilson. This new uniform had many noticeable differences from previous versions, most prominently the incorporation of a vibranium variant of the EXO-7 Falcon, and a change in the primary suit colour from the previously used blue to white. This suit also notably lacked a helmet, instead swapped out for a pair of incorporated flight goggles.
