When his parents were murdered, upstanding community volunteer Sam Wilson gave in to his grief and anger. Severely depressed, his personality shifted, and he became a self-serving racketeer.

On a mob assignment involving the minions of the Red Skull, Wilson recognized the error of his ways and reclaimed his lost idealism. Wilson joined with Captain America to defeat the Skull’s forces. Recognizing the Falcon’s potential, Cap took him under his wing, and Wilson eventually became the legendary adventurer’s partner. He also established himself as a hero of the people -- always accompanied by his pet falcon Redwing.

Early in the Falcon’s career, the Black Panther presented the novice hero with a new costume and jet-powered wings based on Wakandan technology. Shortly thereafter, the Falcon joined the Avengers, but resented the fact that he was made a member merely because he fulfilled a government-mandated minority quota. The Falcon left the Avengers for a time, preferring to work only with Cap.

Motivated by a strong desire for ordinary people to help themselves and on another, the Falcon sees himself as an enabler rather than a costumed icon. Armed with a strong sense of community, he believes being a hero starts at home, and so remains close to Harlem. There, he can act as both a role model and protector of the people.

The Falcon devoted nearly as much time to his work out of costume as he did to his super hero activities. Shuttling between his job as an urban planner in New York City and active membership in the Avengers, the Falcon focused his efforts on making a positive difference in the world. He left the team when the rest of the team disbanded, following the Scarlet Witch's destructive nervous breakdown. Recently he was one of the heroes to oppose the Superhuman Registration Act and member of the underground Secret Avengers.

Falcon II should not be confused with Falcon I (Human Torch Comics #2)

The Red Skull used the Cosmic Cube to forge a psychic link between Falcon and Redwing, allowing them to communicate mentally and feel each other's presence. This ability has since expanded so that Sam can see through the eyes of any bird and command any bird's actions.

Gonna change him to Falcon II, added an alias and a few affiliations.
