Sam Wilson - Falcon

Sam Wilson - Falcon

A former member of the United States Air Force, Sam was one of two pilots chosen to use an experimental device: The EXO-7 Falcon, a harness with wings that allowed the user to fly with great precision. Together with his wingman Riley, Sam carried out a number of highly sensitive operations, ending with one rescue mission that had Riley struck out of the air with an RPG. Leaving the Air Force, he set up a group to help veterans suffering from PTSD, not returning to activity until he met Steve Rogers. After he and Natasha Romanov helped retrieve the EXO-7 from a military complex, Sam assisted them in stopping HYDRA from taking over the world, and continued to assist Captain America against opponents like the forces of Thanos or the Avengers themselves.
