    I Like Ult. Falcon better. He has greater prestige and doesn't carry a downplayed black Cap sidekick stigma to me.

    Oh yeah his wings are cooler and he's a card carrying member of the upper eschelon of MENSA.

    the Falcon (616) is a horrible, horrible and equally convoluted character. Every chance they have had to make the character into something great almost every writer ( including hundlin) has wasted. They can't even decided if he has a real mutation or not.  Now Sam 'Ultimate Falcon" Wilson is One of the Best characters I have seen in along time get a true modern update(Thank you Mr. Ellis). He is akin to an American Black Panther but with a lot of room to grow. I would pay to see him cross over into Marvel Proper, the variety of stories that could be told.....humm maybe I should write it lol

    Ultimate Falcon, in his extremely limited time on-page, has made more of an impression on me than 616 Falcon has in his entire existence.  The visual design, power set and personality for Ult. Falcon are all first-rate.

    Ultimate falcon is a badass and he actually is a pretty cool espionage character , 616 is a punk. falcon has made me hate the character so much me and my friends refer to the ultimate version as Sam Wilson whereas falcon is the corny stereotypical cheerleader for cap. should be the other way around but eh . maybe we will get a codname : falcon-mini , that would be nice. lol

    I like both Falcons, but it does seem that Ultimate Falcon is definitely thought out more then regular Falcon.

    I like both about equally. Maybe 616 Falcon a little more, especially under Brubaker's pen.

    Maybe someday Mark Millar will make Blade cool in 616

    I like your attitude and agree with your opinion.

    Well that's something I never thought I would hear on the internet

    Ultimate Falcon is awesome. He is one of the smartest people in the world, is charismatic and caring, and knows whats up in the world of tactics, being a gentleman, and is my number one :Bad-asses of Marvel"
