![]() Sam Wilson is finally, officially, the new Captain America. While Redwing was primarily meant to act as a reconnaissance agent, the premiere episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier showcased how useful Redwing could be in a fight, having a number of tools that could double as weapons. This story includes spoilers for the final episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. First appearing in the tie-in comic Captain America: Road to War, Redwing was specifically designed to interact with the EXO-7 Falcon jetpack after Sam Wilson joined the Avengers following the Battle of Sokovia. The MCU simplified this considerably, effectively giving Sam Wilson the same power set through Stark Drone MK82 922 V 80Z V2 Prototype Unit V6, which Sam named Redwing for short.

Though he kept his Falcon wings, he incorporated many elements of Steve’s costume into his new suit. When Hawkeye protected the Stones and faced an inescapable attack from a Chitauri Gorilla, Sam used his EXO-7 Falcon wings to slay the attacker. In Earth 616 (the main Marvel universe) Sam Wilson took on the role of Captain America. This allowed Sam to see through their eyes and Sam went on to foster a particularly strong connection to one falcon, whom he named Redwing. Alongside the Avengers’ previously lost heroes and allies, Sam fought to keep the Stones from Thanos by battling his army from the air. Falcon and the Winter Soldier star, Anthony Mackie, has just confirmed that the wings on the new Captain America suit that the Wakandans made for him are, in fact, made of vibranium, the toughest substance on the planet. In the original Captain America and the Falcon comics, Sam Wilson developed the power to communicate with birds telepathically after being exposed to a reality-altering Cosmic Cube.
