Sam Wilson
Character » Sam Wilson appears in 2470 issues.
A social worker turned hero, Sam Wilson's bleak outlook on life was wiped away the day he met Captain America. Using a winged costume and his remarkable combat prowess and avian telepathy, he became the Falcon - defender of Harlem, and eventually bearer of Captain America mantle.
Needs to be revamped to make him more of a mainstay
In fact I would have to say that in the last 8 years he has been a more used character than in the past.
I liked his role in the current Captain America series. Of course, that book's all about the supporting cast.
WHat should they do with him since Cap is dead? Maybe make him a part of an Avengers team or something?
Bump up his powers or give him a feat to claim. Right now the biggest feat he has is beating Electro. Which Spidey does every day.

I'd like to see that too. No one ever uses the Falcon's other powers.
Falcon's mask gives him sight in different ranges: night vision, infrared, magnification, and 360 degree view of his surroundings.
Also, Redwing needs to be used more.
I need to get my pen and start writing a mini-series. ;)

Red wing is the freakin bomb!
lol. If and when you get finished, i must read!
That would be awesome! i'd like to see him have some more solo time. I will definately read if you do it!
"I don't see Falcon as a potentially good character i see him as a support character or falling in the sidekick catergory because his powers are kinda wack IMO"and yet there are people like Punisher as a main character....i think not! I think , like i said earlier, that if he gets some more powers, or gets a feat to claim, then maybe He could handle more spotlight.

It depends on the writer.
The Falcon can be much more than a supporting character or sidekick.

yeah he does need a power upgrade or at-least update his equipment maybe have BP give him some weapons from Wakanda thart he customize or modify to his taste or style that would be awesome if the wirters did something like that

Considering they gave Warpath vibranium daggers (why the hell?) I think it would make perfect sense to give Falcon some Wakandan tech. Though I have to say I was much more interested in the Ultimate version of Falcon than mainstream. If they could find a way to get mainstream Sam up to that level of intellect would be awesome.
