Sam Wilson (Earth-9039)

" I was told that I am going to die alone.   - Aadn"

History
 Origin 

Samuel Wilson grew up in a tough Harlem neighborhood. His dad, Paul Wilson, who was a pastor, had been killed while trying to stop a battle between two enemy gangs when Sam was nine years old. Some years later, his mom, Darlene Wilson was murdered by a mugger while she tried to defend her children. Sam did his best to try and do the right thing, volunteering and becoming a social worker.

 Becoming the Falcon 

Sam was taken to a Caribbean island named Exile where the Red Skull and his goons were hiding out. After their initial fight, Captain America and Sam defeated the Skull, and the Falcon became Cap's partner and friend for a long time. Skull used the Cosmic Cube to give Sam the power to telepathically communicate with birds, mostly a falcon that Wilson had bought named Redwing. Wilson received help from the King of Wakanda, who created a suit for Wilson, allowing him to soar.

 Roscoe Simons 

When Rogers briefly left his Captain America identity, others attempted to take up the mantle, including a man named Roscoe whom the Falcon mentored. When the Red Skull eventually murdered Roscoe, Steve once again became Captain America. Soon afterward, the Red Skull tricked Sam into believing he had a secret past as mobster "Snap Wilson" born from Sam's grief and anger, and that this was wiped from his memories using the Cosmic Cube so that Sam could be a spy for Red Skull. In actuality, the 'Snap' persona had entirely been a construction of the Red Skull to discredit Wilson via racism, and in fact he had never been a criminal at all. Red Skull attempted to use the Cosmic Cube to make the Falcon kill Captain America. S.H.I.E.L.D. The Falcon ultimately left as Cap's partner when he joined S.H.I.E.L.D. After having been stationed in Harlem, Samuel began to help out in his home town, as its main protector. There, he slowly began to loose his once strong relationship with both his sister and brother.

 Avengers Recruitment 

After having proven himself as a hero, Captain America-- who worked with him before, accepted Falcon into the Avengers as a new recruit to be part of something bigger. There he'd gain popularity and ultimately become a bigger figure in the super-hero circuit alongside his companion; Redwing.

 Fall of a Legend 

After discovering that Steve Rogers was dying of cancer, he decided to visit his longtime friend with Bucky Barned. The two of them were told to find the new mantle of Captain America, someone to fill in the red boots and continue fighting for the good cause, to continue the legacy of the Star-Spangled Avenger. Shortly after they were contacted with bad news; The Captain was officially announced dead. After hearing of it, Sam Wilson found himself unable to process it. He was taken over by his grief, letting his anger get a hold of him. Without thinking it through, he'd attack a Hydra base on his own, recovering some stolen Stark Tech in the process. Wilson visited Cap’s funeral, coming to the awful discovery that it was Norman Osborn responsible for Steve's demise.

 The Sentinels 

Tony Stark had made a distress call, with Sam being the first to answer. Sentinels had attacked a group of innocent mutants, forcing Iron Man to assist the people in getting away unharmed. As the fight seemed to be somewhat overwhelming for the two, Stark had gifted Samuel with a nano-suit to properly combat the mutant killing robots. Unbeknownst to Samuel, this would be one of the last tasks they'd perform together, as briefly after Tony Stark quit The Avengers.

Personality
Samuel is a superhero who loves birds. Even as a young child, he was kind and joyful to people. Despite the unfortunate and unforeseen death of his parents, Samuel would do social work and volunteer for the community, doing his best to be a helping hand for people in need. He had the courage to finally become The Falcon because of his powers to mentally control birds.

Powers and Abilities
 Powers 

Avian Telepathy: This link is strongest with his close companion Redwing but he is also capable of extending his empathic link to other birds, making it possible for him to see through their own eyes. He has also shown the ability to control birds. Sam is also a skilled handler and trainer of birds even without his mental powers, originating from his affection for birds. These abilities apply to the entirety of birds, including at some extent of telepathic reading to some Inhuman Bird People. Nick Fury's intel classified him as power level 6. Supposedly, Sam was given the ability to telepathically link with birds by the Red Skull using the Cosmic Cube.

 Abilities 

Master Martial Artist: Sam was trained by Captain America in Judo, Karate, and various other styles of martial arts, making him one of the most dangerous fighters in the entire world. His undeniable skills allowed him to defeat some of the most remarkable trained opponents in the world such as four elite Spetsnaz soldiers at a time, and enhanced individuals as strong as the Wrecking Crew members.

Peak Human Condition: Even before his intensive training with Captain America, Sam was in very good physical shape. After years of intensive and extensive training with Steve, Sam is now an above average athlete and has pushed his body to the pinnacle of human condition.


 * Peak Human Strength: Over years of extensive training, Sam's strength is at the maximum limit of human conditioning. He was able to sent Crossbones flying with a single kick, break steel chains that tied him to a tank, as well as bending a metal bar with his bare hands. Before Falcon's training with Captain America, he possessed the strength of a normal human who engages in regular exercise. However, over the years after intensive training with Captain America, he possesses peak human strength. Falcon is strong enough to lift at least twice his body weight and can press lift 480 lbs.
 * Peak Human Endurance: Sam possesses exceptional tolerance to physical pain. He continued to function in spite of him getting chest stabbed from Zemo's sword. He also continued to function after having been set on fire by one of A.I.M. agents' flamethrower while ripping off his suit.

Master Acrobat: Sam has underwent more rigorous training in gymnastics and acrobatics with Captain America.

Master Aerialist and Flight: Sam is an extraordinary aerialist and flight due to his training with Captain America and to his own experimentation with his "hard light harness." His experience in martial arts, aerialist, and flight has made him one of the best aerial fighters in the world, exceeding the skills of other notable flyers such as Iron Man and Ms. Marvel.

Expert Shield Fighter: Sam is very proficient in the use of Captain America's Shield. He has shown himself to be able to hit several targets from the air with pinpoint accuracy.

Leadership: Sam has lead S.H.I.E.L.D. Super-Agents with proficient tactical and strategic skill.

Paraphernalia
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 wide band 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 a 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

During the Avengers temporary Hiatus, Tony Stark worked on prototype suits for each member. Each suit was built to fundamentally enhance each members individual strengths if ever came a time when their base gear wasn't enough to do the job. After completion the suit was kept in the armory of the Avengers Mountain, where it was stowed away from quiet some time. The suit was finally given to Sam during the Sentinels attack on The Observer, Stark feeling that base Sam wouldn't cut it finally gave the Avian Avenger his new wings.

Properties Nanite Wings: As opposed to the chunkier models of the past when not in use, the Peregrine suit can be collapsed into a bracelet on the wrist of the user, which can be activated and forms around the user's entire body when called upon. In addition to being easy to wear the suits wings are completely prehensile and very articulate, essentially acting as a second set of hands when needed. In terms of durability the wings have been shown to withstand blast from Sentinels and although not outright stated the section of the wings that are the actual wings are made out of vibranium."Flight: As is the standard for bird themed heroes the 'Peregrine' Falcon suit gives it's user the ability of flight. The exact limits of it's maximum velocity have yet to be tested, but during test trials it was able to reach near orbital velocities (5 miles per second)""Self-Contained Life-Support System & Environmental Protection: The Peregrine can be completely sealed for operations in vacuum or underwater, providing its own life support, and is shielded against radiation, biological, chemical, corrosive, kinetic, and electrical attacks as well.""Shield Manifestation:The wings can form a backpack-like formation behind the user, or be clamped onto the user's gauntlets and be used in a manner similar to the way that ballistic shields are used, allowing for Falcon to use his weapons while also protecting himself and others from enemy attacks.""Projectile feathers:Falcon can shoot the feathers of the wings at high velocities similar to that of a bullet (2,600 ft per second). After hitting whatever target they've been shot at the nanites return back to the suit, leaving no trace of the projectile on/in the victims body."
