The Falcon soars to new heights when he teams up with Winter Soldier in Marvel Studios original series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, where Anthony Mackie reprises his role as the first Black American superhero created in the pages of Marvel Comics. Introduced in 1969 by creators Stan Lee and Gene Colan in Captain America #117, “The Coming of… The Falcon!,” Samuel Wilson is a Harlem-born hero who takes to the skies with artificial wings and his hunting hawk sidekick Redwing. After Wilson becomes the modern-day superhero partner of Steve Rogers, the star-spangled Avenger’s book is retitled Captain America and The Falcon (issues #134—#222).
