Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Samuel Thomas "Sam" Wilson, also known as The Falcon, is a Marvel Comics superhero introduced in Captain America #117 (September 1969). Born and raised in Harlem, New York, Sam was originally written as a social worker who joined up with Captain America. Later, the story was that while he was initially a happy child and quite fond of birds, as a teen, his experiences with racism and his parents' deaths made him bitter, jaded, and angry. Leaving his past behind him, he becomes "Snap" Wilson, a professional criminal, gang member, and pimp, who was brainwashed by the Red Skull into believing the original origin detailed above, in order to get close to Captain America after they were stranded on the Isle of Exiles. However, Sam himself doubted that story, and was eventually able to tell the Red Skull's daughter, Sin, the truth: he was a social worker who'd been stranded on the Isle of Exiles, who'd saved Steve's life and helped him escape. The true fake memories implanted by the Red Skull were those of him being a criminal, a plot he concocted to discredit Sam, counting on the fact that no one would question a black man from Harlem having a shady past. This was done by the Cosmic Cube, which the Red Skull had possession of.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The cube also gives him an empathic link with Redwing, his pet falcon and crimefighting partner, giving him an ability to communicate with him telepathically and see through his pet's eyes. This ability will eventually be trained to work with any bird that is near him.Sam met Steve Rogers, who encouraged to stand against the Red Skull's evil. After extensive gymnastics and hand-to-hand combat training by Captain America, Sam Wilson dubbed himself the Falcon. With Cap and Redwing, Falcon defeated the Red Skull and would return with them to Harlem. While working as a social worker, Falcon continued being a hero, protecting his neighborhood from crime. Eventually, he formed a long-time partnership with Captain America and received a specialized winged-harness that allows him to fly from the Black Panther.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Falcon and Redwing would go to become members of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Super Agents, the Avengers, the Defenders, and the Heroes for Hire. Initially appearing alongside Captain America in Captain America and The Falcon, Sam would star in his own limited series, The Falcon, in 1983. He was invited to rejoin the Avengers during Marvel NOW.In 2014, Sam Wilson became a legacy Captain America after Steve Rogers lost his powers. Even after Steve regained his strength, Sam held on to the mantle and shield until 2017 and the fallout from Secret Empire, after which he returned to the Falcon codename with a new look (and a new series).Also in 2014, a new version of the character entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, portrayed by Anthony Mackie. The MCU Falcon has yet another completely different origin: as an Afghanistan War veteran turned PTSD counsellor, who flies using a one-man powered wingsuit that he used during his military service and subsequently "liberated".Comics Captain America and The Falcon Vol. 1 (1971) Falcon (1983) Captain America and the Falcon Vol. 2 (2004) All-New Captain America (2014) All-New Captain America: Fear Him Infinite Comic (2014) Captain America and the Mighty Avengers (2014) Captain America: Sam Wilson (2015) The Falcon (2017) Falcon And Winter SoldierAnime Marvel Disk Wars: The AvengersFilm Marvel Cinematic Universe, played by Anthony Mackie Captain America: The Winter Soldier Avengers: Age of Ultron Ant-Man Captain America: Civil War Avengers: Infinity War Avengers: Endgame Falcon And Winter SoldierWestern Animation The Avengers: United They Stand The Super Hero Squad Show The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes!

Hero with Bad Publicity: It's been a major theme in his days as Captain America, his openness about his views on politics caused so much outrage that superheroes such as U.S.Agent were sent after him to reclaim the shield. (Notably, U.S. Agent, despite not agreeing with Sam's politics, refused the job until asked to do so by Steve Rogers himself.) | |

Heart Is an Awesome Power: One would think being able to talk to birds would be a useless power, until you remember that basically means he has a massive spy network everywhere. It's been said that his birds make for a better information source than Nick Fury's spies. After all, who pays attention to whether there's a bird nearby? | |

Angry Black Man: Mainly before he became a hero. He can occasionally channel this vibe nowadays, but it's not really anger so much as it's exasperation with Steve's or Bucky's or Ian's antics, or having to educate someone about African-American history. | |

I Just Want to Be Normal: Freshly gene-spliced, Joaquin Torres expectedly looks forward to being cured so that he can go home to his mom. He brightens up considerably upon the realization that he can fly, which is probably a good thing, since his condition has currently been diagnosed as incurable due to the potent vampirism-related Healing Factor he's also acquired (what side-effects, if any, are still being explored). | |

Adaptational Superpower Change: Every adaptation of the character from The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! onwards drops the "talks to birds" angle, instead making him a non-powered guy with a flight pack. Redwing nowadays tends to be a robotic drone that's part of his flight pack rather than a flesh-and-blood bird. | |

Fake Memories | |
The Falcon / Comicbook / int_66ce8a39 | comment |
Fake Memories: Due to the effects of the Cosmic Cube. For the longest time, no one was sure if the actual Fake Memories were of Sam's family or of Sam's time as the pimp "Snap" Wilson. All-New Captain America #3 ultimately chooses the "Snap" Wilson memories as the fake ones, with Sam saying that they were lies the Red Skull concocted to discredit him. Christopher Priest had a government agent point out that this was almost certainly the case, since Sam was able to get a social worker's license YEARS before it was made explicit. | |

The Reveal: He was initially introduced as an enthusiastic social worker. However, it was later revealed that this was a Cosmic Cube–induced reality warp and he was really a professional criminal, gang member, and racketeer before the warp. Decades later, this was revealed to be a ruse by the Red Skull. | |

Meaningful Name: "Sam Wilson" was the name of the New York meatpacker who's most often credited as the inspiration for "Uncle Sam".

Vague Age | |
The Falcon / Comicbook / int_7f080f98 | comment |
Vague Age: Joaquin's age was rather vague before it was eventually number-dropped to be 17. That he helped boarder crossing Mexicans with clean water and supplies makes him seem as if he would be older, but he's constantly referred to as a kid by Sam, Misty, and most who refer to him directly. That in itself is vague, since some adults will refer to others who are younger then themselves as a "kid" well into that person's late teens or early twenties. Even after we finally got a few scenes from Joaquin's point of view, it's wasn't made much clearer; despite having some tendencies expected of a teenager, by and large Joaquin has a profound and intelligent mind and is very politically and socially minded, somewhat belying of what you'd expect from most 17-year-olds. Lastly, he has quite the muscular physique on him, another obscurer of age, since you never can tell if Teens Are Short is being played straight or not (whether he got this physique as part of being spliced or if he had it beforehand, too, and to what extent if so, isn't clear, since he never had a clear appearance before he was revealed as spliced). | |

The Falcon / Comicbook / int_c9e5a0db | comment |
Legacy Character: Falcon briefly became Captain America when he thought Cap was dead. He did it again courtesy of Marvel NOW. Captain America: Sam Wilson sees the gradual introduction of Joaquin Torres, a young Mexican American man who unwittingly fell victim to a DNA splicing with Redwing courtesy of a Mad Scientist, a process that soon turns out to be irreversible due to Redwing's rather unique physiology, but that grants him a host of abilities, including the power of flight. Said gradual introduction culminates into Joaquin becoming the new Falcon and Sam's sidekick in issue 5. | |

Color Character: Notably averted. Falcon was the first black hero not to have "Black" in his name. | |

The Cape | |
The Falcon / Comicbook / int_e2415f | comment |
The Cape: Almost to the level of Cap himself. Sam is, through and through, a good person and that's all the more noticeable when he's in uniform. | |

Building Swing: This was originally how The Falcon got around, with a glove with a built-in grappling hook launcher. This was discontinued when he got his flying wing harness. | |
