* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Wore a black suit in his ''Winter Soldier'' introduction, like the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Falcon but not the one from the regular comics (to the chagrin of Mackie, who wanted the red and white costume). His upgraded costume in ''Civil War'' is similar, but with obvious red highlights to emphasize the Falcon moniker. The Disney+ series ditches the armored parts in favor of the classic white and red.

* BadassBaritone: One of the New Avengers (and chosen successor to Captain America), and has a pretty deep voice.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sam is probably one of the nicest guys in the MCU, but if you attempt to harm his family or [[spoiler: taint the legacy of Steve's shield,]] then all bets are off.

** Later on, [[spoiler: both of his wings are pulled off by John Walker during their fight, damaging the suit so badly that Sam has to abandon it.]]

** To Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Both were entrusted with a powerful weapon (E.D.I.T.H was given to Peter, and Cap's shield to Sam) by the heroes they deeply respected (Tony Stark for Peter, and Steve Rogers for Sam) but chose to give it away because they believed they weren't worthy of it, [[spoiler:only for it to for it to fall into the wrong hands which forces them to step up to the role that they initially rejected.]] While Peter is naïve and inexperienced, and at times unable to recognize people for what they really are [[spoiler: (as seen with him immediately trusting Quentin Beck, who turned out to be a narcissistic FakeUltimateHero)]], Sam is an experienced soldier and hero, and good at reading people, as seen when he [[spoiler:catches on to Zemo's tendency to tilt his head when he's planning to manipulate someone]]. Also, while Peter is a [[MotorMouth chatterbox]] in combat, Sam is reserved, only talking when there are breaks between or after fights, or if he needs to inform his teammates about something.

'''Sam:''' ... Not everyone.

-->'''Sam:''' ... It's really important to me that Cap never finds out about this.

** When Steve gives him [[spoiler: the shield at the end of ''Endgame'',]] Sam is visibly choked-up about receiving such a weighty mantle [[spoiler: and dealing with the fact that one of his best friends is now an elderly man, meaning they may not have enough time together left.]]
** When Sam is wiping [[spoiler: Nico's blood off Steve's shield, he is clearly welling up, reflecting on how he contributed to this marring of Steve's legacy by giving up the shield.]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: Due to being a victim of Thanos' Snap, Sam is physically five years younger than his real age.]]

-->'''Sam:''' Man, shut the hell up.

-->'''Karli:''' You of all people bought into that bullshit!?\\

* TookALevelInBadass: By ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', Sam is far more experienced in combat and has [[MidSeasonUpgrade upgraded his wings]] to the point where he's capable of taking on both Iron Man and War Machine. He also has a drone for sneak attacks and recon. [[spoiler: After finally embracing his role as the next true bearer of the Captain America mantle, Sam's mastery of the shield combined with his new vibranium suit and wings leads to him being able to hold his own and outright take down ''multiple'' super-soldier level combatants.]]
