The Falcon
With Sam Wilson, one of my favorite comic book characters, in line to become the new Captain America, I figure it's time that I show everyone why they should respect him. So without further ado, let's see what this underrated wingman is capable of.
Skill
Falcon has been extensively trained by Captain America and Bucky Barnes.
Has YEARS of field experience with Steve Rogers.
Fights
Falcon escapes after being captured by a corrupt militia, he then maneuvers around a train and dodges dozens of lasers before taking them all down.
A brainwashed Falcon stomps Hawkeye.
Falcon's fight with Nuke, now even though Falcon loses this is really impressive considering Nuke is bulletproof and has literally shrugged off attacks by Daredevil and he only beat him with a surprise knife attack. Falcon was actually hurting him with punches. On top of this, Nuke had just gotten done throwing Captain America around.
Fights Silencer, dodging a ray gun and literally throwing him with a punch, Silencer runs away in the next panel.
Falcon gets ambushed by a gang and singlehandily destroys them, ragdolling a few of them.
Fights a large group of A.I.M goons with Black Widow, even while fighting a group on his own, Falcon watches out for her.
Fights and defeats a malfunctioning Sentinel.
Beats 50's Captain America, who is greatly enhanced and a multi-tonner, until being knocked out by the imposter Bucky, who also has super strength.
KOs a mystically enhanced being.
During AvX, fights Mimic and almost wins, he only even loses because Rogue, who had absorbed She-Hulk's power, jumps up and slams him into the ground to steal his power and save Mimic.
This is Falcon's fight with Electro during his mini, it's kinda cut up, but Falcon and Electro fight around for awhile until they eventually run into the gang he was going after in the first place, then Cap shows up, fights Electro for a bit while Falcon goes to deal with the gang, then Falcon comes out of nowhere and kos Electro.
Falcon singlehandedly saves Bucky from the Thunderbolts, it's notable that he one shots Paladin, beats up on and basically throws Nuke, and then beats Ghost. I'm missing the a single page that is partially featured on the various Falcon reflexes and speed feats from below, and in case anyone is curious this is from Captain America: Reborn #3
- One hit KOs a man.
- Stomps Dum Dum Dugan.
- Again, Falcon took on and defeated Ghost during Reborn.
- He's also fought and defeated Crossbones.

Recon and Hunting
Redwing recons better than Bucky, who was in the military and has actively hunted Wolverine for days without him knowing.
Redwing watches 50's Captain America for days and notifies Falcon that A.I.M is circling his position.
