Story
Character Relationships
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. 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, 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 disapointed 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
