Falcon

His real name is Samuel Thomas Wilson. The second, after Black Panther, dark-skinned superhero of the Marvel Comics universe. He was born in Harlem, the most crime-ridden neighborhood of New York City. Since childhood he was interested in birds, so he got pigeons and trained them. When Sam turned 16, his father, a priest, was killed trying to stop a fight. Since then, Wilson has tried to do only good things. But two years later, his mother was shot and killed by a mugger. Grief, anger, and despair consumed Sam. He took the name Snap and became a famous racketeer. Some time later, Sam flew to Rio de Janeiro, but his plane crashed in the Caribbean islands. There the man ran into Red Skull and his subordinates. The villains planned to use Wilson to fight against Captain America. Schmidt used the Cosmic Cube and gave Sam the ability to communicate with birds. But Wilson, gaining superpowers, bought a Redwing falcon and defeated the bandits along with the bird and Captain America. Since then Sam became Captain America's sidekick, took the name Falcon and decided to enforce order on the streets of his hometown. For a time he was Captain America, thinking Rogers was dead. In gratitude for his help, he received special equipment and a suit with wings from Black Panther. When Wilson and Captain America's paths diverged, Falcon became the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D, but remained a freelance ally of the Avengers. Some time later, Wilson uncovered a plot to assassinate President Reagan and foiled an assassination attempt on him. He fought the supervillains Guardian and Electro. Soon the Scarlet Witch cast a spell on Wilson, causing him to return to his past misdeeds. By doing so, Sam alienated all of his superhero friends. The re-consciousness happened when Captain America saved Falcon by taking a bullet for him. So Wilson returned to the side of good.
