I loved that Falcon suit.

I hope he gets to be part of a cool video game, soon, that deluxe "Marvels Avengers" will hopefully have some bonus characters..

He is in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. Pretty good game.

I hope he's a playable character in that along with Hawk and Panther.

If we get 6 more characters, I want Sam, Jan, Carol, T'Challa, Clint, and one of the twins/Vision.

I think Ant-Man or Hank Pym might be first since they showed him early, but they're probably going to introduce as many new heroes as they can to keep the ongoing downloadable content going, since that was listed as a main selling feature.

Avengers #191 Jan 1980
"Back to the Stone Age!" Part 2 of 2. Guest-starring Daredevil.
The Grey Gargoyle surprises the Avengers and quickly turns Shell-head and the Man Without Fear into stone!
However, there are still seven more avengers in the fight!
They should be able to defeat Thor's long-time foe,
but instead the Grey Gargoyle pounds Earth's Mightiest Heroes and escapes!
The Falcon pursues the stone villain to Paul Duval's former Manhattan apartment

and inside a fierce one-on-one battle erupts!

Can the Falcon and Redwing hold their own against the Grey Gargoyle?

They must...until the other avengers arrive!

I always thought Falcon was with the Avengers longer then he actually was...

... didn't know GG was a low-key bigot. hmm..

Him being on for two seconds to make a point and then flying off will always make him a G, tbh.

[TrooperCameron]

Falcon sighting in Black Panther #20. Would be cool if he showed up for Empyre event, since he messed War of Realms.

[Digifiend]

He's not in any solicits so far.

Marvel Team-Up #30 Feb 1975
"All That Glitters Is Not Gold!"
After a patrol, Peter Parker is changing out of his Spider-Man costume
when he hears a scream from the streets below.
Dutifully putting his mask back on, Peter spots his neighbor,
Glory Grant being attacked by a group of men.
Spider-Man gets between Glory and her attackers.
Worried about having another false murder accusation lobbed against him,
the wall-crawler pulls his punches on these thugs, even though they are coming at him at full force.
Dodging a bullet, Spider-Man knocks out the attackers, with some assistance from Glory Grant.
Now that Glory is safe, she asks Spider-Man to do her a favor and carry her attackers up to her apartment.
The web-slinger complies to this strange request and when he asks why he learns that one of these thugs is her cousin, Ramon.

As she starts telling him that this is a family affair that she must deal with alone,
Ramon suddenly wakes up and tries to attack them again.
Noticing the youth is in a trance, Spider-Man wraps him up in webbing to stop him from hurting anyone.
Suddenly, Ramon snaps out of it and tells them what happened to him.
He explains that he and his friends went to a local nightclub where they were grabbed and drugged by some goons.
They were then taken into the back of the establishment where a man in a gold suit sprayed them with something,
and that was the last thing he remembered. Glory heard about this golden man,
and how there were rumors about him wanting to wipe out African-Americans.
Hearing this, Spider-Man is furious and decides to deal with this mystery foe and swings off.

With Spider-Man gone, Glory places a call to the office of Sam Wilson in Harlem.
Hoping it's Captain America, Wilson instead learns that it is from Glory Grant.
After she tells Sam everything she knows, Wilson changes into the Falcon and goes out to investigate this new lead.
The two heroes descend on the nightclub, unaware of each other

until they both come crashing in through the main entrance.
Their foe, a golden garbed man named Midas, orders his men to kill them.
While Spider-Man webs up on half of the shooters,

the Falcon tangles up the rest in a massive show curtain.
During the confusion, Midas escapes, leaving the heroes to try and get answers from his minions.

I have a dim memory of a team-up issue with Spider-Man and Falcon against a gangster named Stone Face. hadn't seen this issue yet. Intriguing.
