==Appearance==
Sam's Rank 1 outfit is white jacket with red shoulders and sleeves, a gray shirt underneath, and black pants. He wears a jetpack backpack that his wings extend from.

Sam's Rank 3 outfit is midway between his Rank 1 and Rank 5 outfits. His jacket is now zipped and almost completely red, and he has metal shoulder pads.

Sam's Rank 5 outfit is his Falcon flight suit. The top is visually similar to the jacket, but the flight suit is one piece. His forehead and ears are covered by white fabric, and he's wearing red glasses.

== Story ==

==Character Relationships==
=== Black Widow ===
[[Black Widow|Natasha]] is vaguely threatening towards Sam, as she is towards everyone. Sam insisted on joining Natasha to infiltrate a Hydra base. The mission seemed too easy and he confronted her, saying she either really hates him or really likes him and wants him to be her boyfriend. She gave him an evasive answer, not committing to either. She went on a date with him that she claimed was a mission to provide looped video to trick Fury, but later admitted that her cover story was untrue. Later, after Falcon goes on a study date with Ms. Marvel, Natasha appeared to be jealous.
=== Captain America ===
Falcon recruited [[Captain America]] to the Avengers Academy. They were friends beforehand. Steve let Sam assume the "Captain America" title.
=== Enchantress ===
[[Enchantress]] sometimes puts Sam under mind control, as she does with all of the guys. However in [[Mind Control, Pt.1|Mind Control, Pt. 1]], Enchantress tries to put Sam under mind-control, but it failed.

=== Hairball ===
Falcon made [[Hairball]] promise not to kill any birds.

===Iron Man===
[[Iron Man]] and Sam are friends. When they met, Sam complimented Tony's engineering and Tony complimented Sam's flying. They also had a "boy's night out" with Loki in the Stark Tower hot tub.

=== Hope van Dyne ===
Falcon had a crush on [[Hope van Dyne]].

===Loki===
[[Loki]] has a tempestuous relationship with everyone at the Academy, including Sam. They had a "boy's night out" with Tony in the Stark Tower hot tub.
===Madame Hydra===
[[Madame Hydra]] told Sam that she was disappointed he went to Avengers Academy instead of Hydra Academy.

=== Ms. Marvel ===
[[Ms. Marvel]] was kind of dating Sam after a study date/date mix up. They teamed up to defeat A.I.M along with [[Wasp]], as the [[All-New Avengers!, Pt. 1|All-New Avengers]], with Kamala leading the team.
===Nick Fury===
[[Nick Fury]] thinks that Sam is as much of an Avenger as any of the ones with powers.

=== Okoye ===
Falcon gave [[Okoye]] permission to train his penguins as bodyguards. Falcon questioned why Okoye told him about one of Wakanda's most precious secrets, the Heart-Shaped Herb, and Okoye said the Avengers had proven themselves trustworthy.

=== Patriot ===
[[Patriot]] credits Falcon with showing him how to be a hero.

=== Pepper Potts ===
[[Pepper Potts]] found and recruited Sam to the Avengers Academy.

=== Redwing ===
Falcon and [[Redwing]] share a telepathic link, and are long-time super hero partners.

=== Red Hulk ===
Falcon battled [[Red Hulk]] to help break the [[Leader]]'s mind control over him. 

=== Satana ===
[[Satana]] asked for Falcon's help in persuading more demons to join her side in overthrowing Mephisto. She asked him to use his Penguin outfit, because penguins are beloved in Hell.

=== Spider-Woman ===
When [[Spider-Woman|Jessica]] first showed up at the Academy, Wasp and Falcon immediately trusted her and wanted to help her carry out her missions. Both of them were a little starstruck by the double agent. Sam has a crush on her. He repeatedly asked her out, but she declined.

==Soundbites==
Falcon is voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5473880/ A$ap Rocky].
* "''Affirmative''."
* "Can't get as fly as a falcon!"
* "Hey, I'm always here to help."
* "Hey, not bad for a normal guy, huh?"
* "I already saved the day--now how about some lunch?"
* "''Let's do it!''"
* "Man, let's do this."
* "Man, there's a lot of air traffic today..."
* "Some of these super heroes are absolutely ''crazy''."
* "Sounds good to me."
* "Tch, I get ''great air''."
* "That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!"
* "Time to blast off!"
* "Try and keep up!"
* "Why is fighting super villains the most normal thing I do all day?"
* "''Yeah'', I see you checking out my wings."
* "Yeah, let's fly."
* "Yeah, you know it!"
* "Y'know, you need more than a jet pack to be an Avenger, but it ''definitely'' helps."
* "Yo, who you callin' side kick!?"

== Gratitude Lines ==
* "Awesome! We make a great team!"
* "Thanks! Now I'm feeling like a real Avenger!"
* "Thanks! Us normal people need to stick together."
* "You're the best! You ever think about joining the squad?"
