Aside from Miles-very few POC have their stories reprinted. Miles is the only POC to have all his stories in trades.
I would probably say Falcon as Capt was probably the only way Marvel could have a legit way to test solo stories with Falcon and ensure trades with these stories actually came out.
Remember it took 2 runs as Iron Man to get James Rhodes his solo shots. So view this as the second run (or third if you count both versions of Captain America & Falcon) and when Steve comes back-we can see a Falcon solo finally get a test run.
5 other POC have had multiple solo runs (Bishop, Cage, BP, Deathlok & Miles).
