Bird of Prey: Sam Wilson Appreciation 2019

[Frontier]

Hi-res!!



Now if we could only get Sam to appear in a book.

I'm kind of surprised he's dropped off the face of the Earth like he has.

Yeah, he went from having a solo book and being leader of the Avengers, to completely being in limbo. Which Champions cancelled now, his two sidekicks are about to join him.

Captain America #117 Sep 1969
First appearance and origin of the Falcon in "The Coming of... the Falcon!"
With the Red Skull previously having switched bodies with Captain America,
the Skull uses the Cosmic Cube to send Cap to the tropical island home of the Exiles;

There Cap encounters a falconer from Harlem

who had been hired by the Exiles but who is now attempting to help the island natives kick the Exiles from their home;
Cap joins forces with the falconer who, with Cap's urging,

dons a costume and takes the name the Falcon!

Script by Stan Lee, pencils by Gene Colan, inks by Joe Sinnott

I love Gene Colan so much.

Sam should have a hall of costumes like Steve does.

Has anyone any idea of how old redwing is in-universe?

[Digifiend]

That would seem to be a valid point - you're wondering if he should still be alive, right? - but Redwing is a vampire now and thus won't die.

vampire? seriously? lol..

[Digifiend]

Yeah, it happened in All-New Captain America #5. Redwing seemed to be killed but in the following issue, was shown to be alive. Later, in Captain America: Sam Wilson, Karl Malus gave Joaquin Torres Redwing's DNA, which is how the teenage Falcon got his powers. That's when Sam found out about what had really happened to Redwing.

It's one of those thigns I kind of forget about now .

[Snoop Dogg]

Vamping Redwing was actually one of Remender's really good Sam plays because that baby bird would otherwise have to die eventually.

[Digifiend]

Yeah, the average lifespan for a falcon is 13 years, and the maximum in captivity is 25 years. And in-universe, Sam probably obtained Redwing about 12 years ago.
