today we will explore the comic book
origins of Samuel Wilson otherwise known
as the Falcon those adventures are
amazing have you ever seen anything like
them I’m one of them Falcon as with most
comic book characters they’re often
reimagining and different versions to a
character’s past we have chosen to
primarily follow the storyline which
unfolded in 1969 s Captain America
number 117 which was expanded upon in
issues 118 and 119 in his first
appearance the Falcon was shown to be
living on a remote Caribbean island the
very same one that the Red Skull had
banished his betrayed former henchmen
now called the exiles to with the Red
Skull having decided to use their hate
to his advantage
he used the Cosmic Cube to swap bodies
with Captain America before banishing
the hero to the island as well soon the
captain in the red skulls body stumbled
upon the pack of these former henchmen
and overheard their anger at the madman
who had trapped them there realizing why
he had been sent there of all places
the captain could feel the Cosmic Cube
being used to shake the tree that he was
hiding in revealed to the exiles the
captain decided that there was no point
in explaining his predicament and
instead resorted to fighting desperately
for his life just as the Red Skull in
Captain America’s body bloated to
himself without the diabolical plan
working a Falcon swooped in and began
attacking the exiles giving the captain
the opportunity he needed to escape with
the captain realizing that he could have
removed the mask all along he did so in
the hope that the exiles wouldn’t know
the skulls true face audiences were then
introduced to the man responsible for
the Falcon attack a mysterious man that
was happy to have used his animal friend
to rob the exiles of yet another victory
as the stranger was set to travel back
to his village
the captain bumped into him recognising
the Falcon and offering his gratitude
introducing themselves the captain made
the observation that his new associates
accent was from Harlem taking the
captain to his home in the village the
stranger explained that the island was a
full place until the exiles arrived and
enslaved everyone forcing him to try to
fight back when asked about his own
origin the stranger explained that since
he was young he was fascinated with
birds specifically Falcons that
fascination grew when he was on vacation
where he met his loyal pet Red Wing he
then mentioned that he ended up on the
island when he’d read an ad that had
been posted by the exiles seeking a
Falcon trainer rather than hiring him
they enslaved him though he had tried to
organize the natives to fight back he
had no weapons the cap then suggested to
the stranger that he needs to become a
symbol in order to mobilise the
downtrodden that he could help him
become that symbol with this suggestion
the man decided to go ahead and create
the costumed identity of the Falcon he
then properly introduced himself as Sam
Wilson a man who had indeed grown up in
the slums of Harlem the two then began
combat training with the captain passing
on many of his fighting skills before
they mounted an attack on the exiles
despite their lack of weapons the two
used their hand-to-hand skills to turn
the tables proving themselves quicker
and more agile than their adversaries
the Falcon made short work of his folks
while commanding his pet to help take
out the enemies with the Red Skull
witnessing this turn of events he
decided to use the power of the Cosmic
Cube to retake his true identity the Red
Skull then used the cube to transport
himself the Falcon and Captain America
to his castle in Germany there the Red
Skull summoned a caged craft the Falcons
pet and gave the captain back his
identity despite aiming to kill the two
heroes with his unlimited power they
surprised him by working together as a
team managing to distract and eventually
defeat the Red Skull little did they
know that they were actually helped by
the intervention of the supervillain
MODOK following this the Falcon became
Captain America’s occasional partner and
one of Harlem’s greatest crime fighters
it was only years later that the Falcon
gained the technology that enabled him
to fly embodying his namesake to the
fullest
a popular Marvel superhero the Falcon

cartoon series the character finally
made his live-action debut when he was
played by actor Anthony Mackie in 2014’s
