!!'''New Avengers'''
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' | ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''
A new superhero team assembled under the leadership of Captain America and Black Widow to replace the original Avengers.
----
* AvengersAssemble: A new group of superheroes with different backgrounds who have been brought together to protect the world. Captain America even says the iconic phrase when the team is assembled at the end of ''Age of Ultron'', though the credits roll before we can hear him say the second word.
* BadassCrew: Of course. The new members are none other than Iron Man's [[ComicBook/WarMachine best friend, who wears a similarly high-powered and well-armed suit of armor]], Captain America's [[ComicBook/TheFalcon close friend, a former Air Force paratrooper with a literal winged harness, specializing in rescue missions]], [[ComicBook/TheVision an artificial human created by Thor's lightning and one of Iron Man's AI programs, with an Infinity Stone embedded in his head]], and a pair of twins, [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch one of whom has a wide array of mental abilities such as mind control, telepathy, and telekinesis]], and [[Comicbook/{{Quicksilver}} one with super-speed and reflexes]] (though sadly, the latter only gets to be part of the team for one battle before he dies).
* ChangingOfTheGuard: By the end of ''Age of Ultron'', several of the original Avengers lineup have retired, left to attend to other matters or just plain disappeared, so a new team is assembled to take their place.
* DwindlingParty: Despite being called the "New Avengers", the group doesn't get to work together as a team for very long. As of writing this, the only active members of the team are Falcon and War Machine, as Quicksilver and Natasha are dead, Vision is reborn with fragmentary memories and went off to parts unknown, Wanda has gone into a SelfImposedExile, and Steve has retired.
* MultinationalTeam: This new line-up has much more diversity than the previous one: Steve is Irish-American, James Rhodes and Sam Wilson are African-American, Natasha is Russian, Wanda is Sokovian (fictional Eastern-European country), and the Vision is a British-accented android.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Steve and Natasha agree that their new Avengers team is a mishmash of characters who need to learn how to work together. After all, it features an Army captain, two Air Force officers, an assassin, a witch and a mysterious android
* SuperTeam: Like the first Avengers team, this one is entirely composed of bona fide superheroes.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: With Wanda Maximoff joining the team, Natasha is no longer the only female member.

->''"I don't see the big picture. I have a little picture. I take it out and look at it every day."''
Wanda's twin brother, who also underwent Wolfgang von Strucker's experiment, which gave him superhuman speed. He joins his sister in helping bring about Ultron's vision of a new order without the Avengers. After learning of Ultron's real intentions, he defects alongside his sister and they join the Avengers in order to save their planet -- along with what remains of their home. However, he ends up sacrificing his life to save Hawkeye.

----
* AdaptationOriginConnection: Practically every iteration of Quicksilver was born with his powers due to being a mutant. This Quicksilver received his powers as a result of experimentation with the Mind Stone.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Like his sister, he’s a mutant in the comics, but he’s a human experiment in the cinematic continuity.
* AdaptationalVillainy: While unlike the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel, ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', and ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen'' and in Pietro's case, his ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow'' counterparts, he and Wanda do make a HeelFaceTurn [[note]]their Ultimate counterparts joining the Ultimates was for protection against Magneto[[/note]], much like those incarnations with Magneto, they were willing allies of HYDRA and Ultron here, as opposed to the originals being forced to work for Magneto.
* AdaptedOut: Like Wanda, the fact that Fox owned the rights to the ''X-Men'' film franchise prior to 2019 means that his background is changed from having Magneto as his father to being the subject of experimentation.
* AntiVillain: At first, he antagonizes the Avengers because Tony Stark created the shells that bombed their home. Later, after he and Wanda realize Ultron's true motives, they join up with the Avengers.
* ArrowCatch: He's more than fast enough to catch arrows, as Hawkeye finds out the hard way. He's also fast enough to catch Mjölnir in flight, although ''catching'' it isn't [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield the hard part]].
* BadassBeard: Unlike the comics and ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'', this version of Quicksilver sports a beard--and he can knock down several members of the Avengers.
* BigBrotherInstinct: In all their shared scenes, it's clear that he's protective of his sister. He is also the older twin of the two here (in the comics, Wanda is traditionally the older twin).
* BookEnds: He's introduced and shown in his last scene in the same way: running into Clint and saying "You didn't see that coming?"
* BrotherSisterTeam: He and Wanda have been the primary person in each others' lives since the death of their parents, and this shows in their dynamic on and off the battlefield.
* ButtMonkey: Pietro is usually injured or taken out in amusing ways, such as trying to grab Mjölnir and going sailing in the other direction.
* CatchPhrase: "You didn't see that coming?" Hawkeye [[BorrowedCatchphrase borrows it]] at one point. It's also his FamousLastWords.
* CivvieSpandex: Wears at least three blueish outfits throughout the movie: a blue track suit with white arrows on its side, a dark blue vest over a light blue T-shirt with black track pants, and his main promotional costume: a grey and blue undershirt with blue track pants. The last outfit in paticular looks a bit like he's closet cosplaying his comic outfit. Justified, since the Twins are poor street urchins who steal whatever clothes they can find to form outfits. Also, they don't join the Avengers until halfway into the movie, when the team would be busy dealing with Ultron.
* CoDragons: He and his sister serve as co-conspirators for Ultron.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He is never referred to as "Quicksilver" in the film. Hawkeye calling him a "quick little bastard" is the closest it gets.
* DisarmDisassembleDestroy: He uses his superspeed to snatch a pistol from ArmsDealer Ulysses Klaue and instantly unload and disassemble it, lining the parts and rounds neatly up on the table next to him. Klaue is surprised, but quickly regains his cool.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He first appears in TheStinger of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', but doesn't play an important role until ''Age of Ultron''.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: He goes completely unmentioned beyond ''Age of Ultron'', aside from Hawkeye indirectly alluding to Pietro in ''Civil War'' by suggesting he owed someone a debt. Finally subverted by the events of ''[=WandaVision=]'', in which Wanda brings up the fact that she's a twin and that her brother didn't make it... And is disturbed as soon as "Geraldine" mentions that Ultron killed him. Given her reaction, it's less he's been forgotten and more bringing him up around Wanda is too much of a raw nerve.
* FragileSpeedster: He has SuperSpeed, but limited endurance: prolonged running takes a visible toll on him, and he needs to catch his breath at times. He's also not fast enough to stop bullets, unfortunately.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: When he isn't destroying drones by running through them, he's punching them.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: He runs right into combat with nothing but his fists, while his sister's telekinetic and telepathic powers don't require her to get close to anyone.
* HairContrastDuo: The light-haired, HotBlooded to Wanda's EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette.
* HeelFaceTurn: After he and Wanda find out Ultron's [[KillAllHumans real plan]], they quickly jump ship.
* HeroicSacrifice: He pulls one in the final battle, blocking a shower of bullets from an Ultron-controlled Quinjet to protect Hawkeye. This was done because Clint himself was performing a HeroicSacrifice by attempting to shield a little boy from the Quinjet's fire.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Like his sister, he lets his hatred of Tony Stark (and by extension the Avengers) lead him to trusting Hydra, and Ultron.
* InvulnerableKnuckles: He rips through Ultron units with ease using only his bare hands. It's a RequiredSecondaryPower for a speedster.
* IronicEcho: His first and last lines to Clint, with the last being much HarsherInHindsight.
-->'''Pietro:''' You didn't see that coming?
* LovableRogue: In a deleted scene, it's revealed that Pietro actively steals from the rich to provide for the poorer people of Sokovia.
* MrFanservice: He's quite handsome and muscular. There is even a glimpse of his abs when he changes clothes for the final battle.
* MultipleGunshotDeath: He dies protecting Hawkeye and a little boy from an onslaught of bullets, resulting in this. However, he survives for a few seconds before collapsing dead.
* MysticalWhiteHair: It's not remarked on in the film, but flashbacks of him as a child show him with dark brown hair, indicating his hair color is a side effect of the experiments with the scepter.
* NoIndoorVoice: As a kid. Agatha actually lampshaded this.
-->'''Pietro:''' IN ENGLISH, PAPA!\\
'''Agatha:''' He's loud, isn't he?\\
''(later in the flashback)''\\
'''Pietro:''' WANDA!\\
'''Agatha:''' I mean, we're right here.
* NotSoDifferent: As Cap remarks when he learns of their origins, he and Wanda are just like he was, in that they volunteered to be experimented on so that they could gain super powers with which to protect their country.
* NotWearingTights: He never wears a proper costume, though the running gear he dons in the final battle has the same color scheme as his costume from the comics as a MythologyGag.
* PosthumousCharacter: Played with. Although Pietro dies in the movie he's introduced in and is seldom mentioned afterwards, his death hits the Avengers pretty hard, especially with Clint and Wanda. The former decides to give his newborn baby "Pietro" as his middle name, whereas the latter seldom mentions him due to the trauma his death caused her.
* PowerIncontinence: His introductory scene shows what happens when SuperSpeed meets a small, enclosed cell. Not a great combo.
* RaceLift: The Maximoff twins have usually been portrayed as Romani in the comics (either as the children of Magneto and his Romani wife Magda, children of the Romani Django and Marya Maximoff, or children of the Romani Natalya Maximoff), and of Jewish ancestry during the period when they were considered Magneto's children. In the MCU they are portrayed as white Eastern Europeans. [[note]]Aaron Taylor-Johnson is ethnically Jewish, however.[[/note]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Pulls a HeelFaceTurn before the final battle and dies TakingTheBullet for Hawkeye and a kid the latter rescued.
* RedOniBlueOni: With his twin, Wanda. Despite their color scheme, Pietro was the more impulsive of the two, with a tendency to leap before thinking. Justified, as he ''is'' a speedster who can get away with just about anything.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: To go with his SuperSpeed, he is strong enough to plow into (or through) his enemies without pulping himself on impact. He also has reflexes quick enough to avoid running into things.
* SacrificialLion: He's the first Avenger to actually die... And, come ''Infinity War'' and ''Endgame'', isn't the only one to.
* SmugSuper: He can move too fast to be seen, and doesn't hesitate to rub it in people's faces. ("You didn't see that coming?") He also mocks Hawkeye, three times, about being an old man.
* SoleSurvivor: In ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', Dr. List mentions that he and Wanda were the only test subjects of Strucker who survived his experiments.
* SuperSpeed: His ability, which he first demonstrates in his cell, is to move too fast to be seen.
* TemptingFate: In a deleted scene, Wanda reprimands him for stealing too much and says that if he keeps it up, he'll get shot. Seeing as he now has SuperSpeed, Pietro's only response is to scoff and roll his eyes. Take one guess how he dies later on.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Very little merchandise was made for the character.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He dies in his first full appearance. It makes his HeroicSacrifice all the more surprising.
* YouKilledMyFather: The only reason he and Wanda willingly joined Hydra -- and then Ultron -- was because they lost their parents to an explosion caused by one of Stark's weapons.

* ChangingOfTheGuard: By the end of ''Age of Ultron'', several of the original Avengers lineup have retired, left to attend to other matters or just plain disappeared, so a new team is assembled to take their place.
* DwindlingParty: Despite being called the "New Avengers", the group doesn't get to work together as a team for very long. As of writing this, the only active members of the team are Falcon and War Machine, as Quicksilver and Natasha are dead, Vision is reborn with fragmentary memories and went off to parts unknown, Wanda has gone into a SelfImposedExile, and Steve has retired.
* MultinationalTeam: This new line-up has much more diversity than the previous one: Steve is Irish-American, James Rhodes and Sam Wilson are African-American, Natasha is Russian, Wanda is Sokovian (fictional Eastern-European country), and the Vision is a British-accented android.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Steve and Natasha agree that their new Avengers team is a mishmash of characters who need to learn how to work together. After all, it features an Army captain, two Air Force officers, an assassin, a witch and a mysterious android
* SuperTeam: Like the first Avengers team, this one is entirely composed of bona fide superheroes.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: With Wanda Maximoff joining the team, Natasha is no longer the only female member.

->''"I don't see the big picture. I have a little picture. I take it out and look at it every day."''
Wanda's twin brother, who also underwent Wolfgang von Strucker's experiment, which gave him superhuman speed. He joins his sister in helping bring about Ultron's vision of a new order without the Avengers. After learning of Ultron's real intentions, he defects alongside his sister and they join the Avengers in order to save their planet -- along with what remains of their home. However, he ends up sacrificing his life to save Hawkeye.

%%NOTE: Keep all tropes about Evan Peters's iteration of the character on ''Series/WandaVision'' to the "Westview" section. No spoilers above the trope list.
----
* AdaptationOriginConnection: Practically every iteration of Quicksilver was born with his powers due to being a mutant. This Quicksilver received his powers as a result of experimentation with the Mind Stone.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Like his sister, he’s a mutant in the comics, but he’s a human experiment in the cinematic continuity.
* AdaptationalVillainy: While unlike the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel, ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', and ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen'' and in Pietro's case, his ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow'' counterparts, he and Wanda do make a HeelFaceTurn [[note]]their Ultimate counterparts joining the Ultimates was for protection against Magneto[[/note]], much like those incarnations with Magneto, they were willing allies of HYDRA and Ultron here, as opposed to the originals being forced to work for Magneto.
* AdaptedOut: Like Wanda, the fact that Fox owned the rights to the ''X-Men'' film franchise prior to 2019 means that his background is changed from having Magneto as his father to being the subject of experimentation.
* AntiVillain: At first, he antagonizes the Avengers because Tony Stark created the shells that bombed their home. Later, after he and Wanda realize Ultron's true motives, they join up with the Avengers.
* ArrowCatch: He's more than fast enough to catch arrows, as Hawkeye finds out the hard way. He's also fast enough to catch Mjölnir in flight, although ''catching'' it isn't [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield the hard part]].
* BadassBeard: Unlike the comics and ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'', this version of Quicksilver sports a beard--and he can knock down several members of the Avengers.
* BigBrotherInstinct: In all their shared scenes, it's clear that he's protective of his sister. He is also the older twin of the two here (in the comics, Wanda is traditionally the older twin).
* BookEnds: He's introduced and shown in his last scene in the same way: running into Clint and saying "You didn't see that coming?"
* BrotherSisterTeam: He and Wanda have been the primary person in each others' lives since the death of their parents, and this shows in their dynamic on and off the battlefield.
* ButtMonkey: Pietro is usually injured or taken out in amusing ways, such as trying to grab Mjölnir and going sailing in the other direction.
* CatchPhrase: "You didn't see that coming?" Hawkeye [[BorrowedCatchphrase borrows it]] at one point. It's also his FamousLastWords.
* CivvieSpandex: Wears at least three blueish outfits throughout the movie: a blue track suit with white arrows on its side, a dark blue vest over a light blue T-shirt with black track pants, and his main promotional costume: a grey and blue undershirt with blue track pants. The last outfit in paticular looks a bit like he's closet cosplaying his comic outfit. Justified, since the Twins are poor street urchins who steal whatever clothes they can find to form outfits. Also, they don't join the Avengers until halfway into the movie, when the team would be busy dealing with Ultron.
* CoDragons: He and his sister serve as co-conspirators for Ultron.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He is never referred to as "Quicksilver" in the film. Hawkeye calling him a "quick little bastard" is the closest it gets.
* DisarmDisassembleDestroy: He uses his superspeed to snatch a pistol from ArmsDealer Ulysses Klaue and instantly unload and disassemble it, lining the parts and rounds neatly up on the table next to him. Klaue is surprised, but quickly regains his cool.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He first appears in TheStinger of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', but doesn't play an important role until ''Age of Ultron''.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: He goes completely unmentioned beyond ''Age of Ultron'', aside from Hawkeye indirectly alluding to Pietro in ''Civil War'' by suggesting he owed someone a debt. Finally subverted by the events of ''[=WandaVision=]'', in which Wanda brings up the fact that she's a twin and that her brother didn't make it... And is disturbed as soon as "Geraldine" mentions that Ultron killed him. Given her reaction, it's less he's been forgotten and more bringing him up around Wanda is too much of a raw nerve.
* FragileSpeedster: He has SuperSpeed, but limited endurance: prolonged running takes a visible toll on him, and he needs to catch his breath at times. He's also not fast enough to stop bullets, unfortunately.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: When he isn't destroying drones by running through them, he's punching them.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: He runs right into combat with nothing but his fists, while his sister's telekinetic and telepathic powers don't require her to get close to anyone.
* HairContrastDuo: The light-haired, HotBlooded to Wanda's EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette.
* HeelFaceTurn: After he and Wanda find out Ultron's [[KillAllHumans real plan]], they quickly jump ship.
* HeroicSacrifice: He pulls one in the final battle, blocking a shower of bullets from an Ultron-controlled Quinjet to protect Hawkeye. This was done because Clint himself was performing a HeroicSacrifice by attempting to shield a little boy from the Quinjet's fire.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Like his sister, he lets his hatred of Tony Stark (and by extension the Avengers) lead him to trusting Hydra, and Ultron.
* InvulnerableKnuckles: He rips through Ultron units with ease using only his bare hands. It's a RequiredSecondaryPower for a speedster.
* IronicEcho: His first and last lines to Clint, with the last being much HarsherInHindsight.
-->'''Pietro:''' You didn't see that coming?
* LovableRogue: In a deleted scene, it's revealed that Pietro actively steals from the rich to provide for the poorer people of Sokovia.
* MrFanservice: He's quite handsome and muscular. There is even a glimpse of his abs when he changes clothes for the final battle.
* MultipleGunshotDeath: He dies protecting Hawkeye and a little boy from an onslaught of bullets, resulting in this. However, he survives for a few seconds before collapsing dead.
* MysticalWhiteHair: It's not remarked on in the film, but flashbacks of him as a child show him with dark brown hair, indicating his hair color is a side effect of the experiments with the scepter.
* NoIndoorVoice: As a kid. Agatha actually lampshaded this.
-->'''Pietro:''' IN ENGLISH, PAPA!\\
'''Agatha:''' He's loud, isn't he?\\
''(later in the flashback)''\\
'''Pietro:''' WANDA!\\
'''Agatha:''' I mean, we're right here.
* NotSoDifferent: As Cap remarks when he learns of their origins, he and Wanda are just like he was, in that they volunteered to be experimented on so that they could gain super powers with which to protect their country.
* NotWearingTights: He never wears a proper costume, though the running gear he dons in the final battle has the same color scheme as his costume from the comics as a MythologyGag.
* PosthumousCharacter: Played with. Although Pietro dies in the movie he's introduced in and is seldom mentioned afterwards, his death hits the Avengers pretty hard, especially with Clint and Wanda. The former decides to give his newborn baby "Pietro" as his middle name, whereas the latter seldom mentions him due to the trauma his death caused her.
* PowerIncontinence: His introductory scene shows what happens when SuperSpeed meets a small, enclosed cell. Not a great combo.
* RaceLift: The Maximoff twins have usually been portrayed as Romani in the comics (either as the children of Magneto and his Romani wife Magda, children of the Romani Django and Marya Maximoff, or children of the Romani Natalya Maximoff), and of Jewish ancestry during the period when they were considered Magneto's children. In the MCU they are portrayed as white Eastern Europeans. [[note]]Aaron Taylor-Johnson is ethnically Jewish, however.[[/note]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Pulls a HeelFaceTurn before the final battle and dies TakingTheBullet for Hawkeye and a kid the latter rescued.
* RedOniBlueOni: With his twin, Wanda. Despite their color scheme, Pietro was the more impulsive of the two, with a tendency to leap before thinking. Justified, as he ''is'' a speedster who can get away with just about anything.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: To go with his SuperSpeed, he is strong enough to plow into (or through) his enemies without pulping himself on impact. He also has reflexes quick enough to avoid running into things.
* SacrificialLion: He's the first Avenger to actually die... And, come ''Infinity War'' and ''Endgame'', isn't the only one to.
* SmugSuper: He can move too fast to be seen, and doesn't hesitate to rub it in people's faces. ("You didn't see that coming?") He also mocks Hawkeye, three times, about being an old man.
* SoleSurvivor: In ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', Dr. List mentions that he and Wanda were the only test subjects of Strucker who survived his experiments.
* SuperSpeed: His ability, which he first demonstrates in his cell, is to move too fast to be seen.
* TemptingFate: In a deleted scene, Wanda reprimands him for stealing too much and says that if he keeps it up, he'll get shot. Seeing as he now has SuperSpeed, Pietro's only response is to scoff and roll his eyes. Take one guess how he dies later on.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Very little merchandise was made for the character.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He dies in his first full appearance. It makes his HeroicSacrifice all the more surprising.
* YouKilledMyFather: The only reason he and Wanda willingly joined Hydra -- and then Ultron -- was because they lost their parents to an explosion caused by one of Stark's weapons.

Sep the Falcon - Redwing having a section is enough to break his character into a single page - plus with FWS continuing, it's going to grow.

%%NOTE: Keep all tropes about Evan Peters's iteration of the character on ''Series/WandaVision'' to the "Westview" section. No spoilers above the trope list.
Deleted line(s) 53,206 (click to see context) :
* AcePilot:
** "I never said '''pilot''.'" He seems to now be the sole surviving member of an elite pararescue team, and while not quite a household name, Sam reached a level of technical skill on maneuvering through difficult situations to the level that even the Black Widow had heard of his missions before actually meeting him.
** During the attack on Project INSIGHT, he was able to avoid the firepower of three fully armed Helicarriers and a Quinjet (as Captain America was aboard a Helicarrier, he was the only target they could shoot at), while still completing his mission.
** ''Falcon & the Winter Soldier'' also demonstrates his skills with his flight suit in spectacular fashion.
* AdaptationDistillation: In the comics, Sam Wilson was a social worker, and later retconned into being a pimp who'd been brainwashed by the Red Skull and the Cosmic Cube/Tesseract to ''think'' he was a social worker, but was actually the Skull's mole. Then ''that'' retcon was later retconned. The films instead make Sam both a veteran and a veterans' counselor, preserving the spirit of someone who'd spend his time trying to better the lives of others and giving him a specific point of connection with Steve.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics, Sam is physically normal but can psychically communicate with Redwing and other birds. In the movies, Sam is a BadassNormal who's very, very skilled with a jetpack.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: [[spoiler:Sam Wilson is the true successor to Captain America, at least as far as Steve Rogers is concerned. Steve's white, while Sam's black.]]
* AnimalMotifs: Falcons, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin obviously]]. It's not as much as his comic book counterpart, who has an ''actual'' falcon as his crime-fighting sidekick companion, but the winged flight suit means the imagery is still there. By ''Civil War'' he has a drone named "Redwing" (which was an actual bird in the comics).
* AscendedFanboy: It's hinted he's this in regards to Steve. When asked by Steve himself if he is sure that he wants to come out of retirement, he replies, "Dude, ''Captain America'' needs my help. There's no better time to get back in."
* AwesomeBackpack: The bulk of Falcon's abilities are concentrated in his backpack, which functions as a JetPack with retractible wings, making him able to fly in a very nimble manner. During later appearances, the backpack houses attack drones and a couple of missiles.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Falcon's ability as a trained combatant to preempt and intercept Scott Lang's attacks (with the help of his goggles) is the main reason why he even had a fighting chance against a superpowered opponent.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In ''Endgame'', he, along with all the people that were dusted by Thanos's BadassFingerSnap from ''Infinity War'', all come back to life thanks to Professor Hulk reversing Thanos's actions with a finger snap of his own.]]
* BadassBaritone: One of the New Avengers (and chosen successor to Captain America), and has a pretty deep voice.
* BadassMustache: A highly trained, competent superhero that sports a goatee. It also serves as a contrast with clean-shaven Steve, who he most often works with.
* BadassNormal: He's just a normal man with special training, yet he managed to outfly S.H.I.E.L.D. fighters, take down a ''Helicarrier'' almost entirely by himself, and nearly took down Ant-Man despite Scott's superpower advantage. In ''Infinity War'', he sends Proxima Midnight, a seven-foot-tall alien warrior woman, flying into a restaurant with a diving kick, ''twice.''
* BirdsOfAFeather: Puns aside, this is why he and Steve click so well: they're both relentlessly good guys, veterans, dedicated to helping others, and even had similar experiences in war, having to watch as a close friend fell to his death during what should have been a routine op. The only difference is, in Sam's case, Riley's death was permanent.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: His comic book counterpart's psychic connection to birds is not mentioned; his combat prowess is due to the retractable wings on his suit.
* CombatMedic: Though he doesn't perform the role in the films, as a former Air Force Pararescueman, he previously served as one.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Zig-Zagged. "Falcon" was the codename of his original flight pack, but Maria Hill calls him "Falcon" during the attack on Project Insight in ''Winter Soldier'', and he becomes known to the public as "the Falcon" by the time of ''Ant-Man''.
* CompanionCube: He's very fond of his drone Redwing. Best seen when Redwing assists Widow in taking out one of two HYDRA terrorists about to unleash a biological weapon.
-->'''Black Widow:''' Thanks, Sam.\\
'''Sam:''' Don't thank me.\\
'''Black Widow:''' I'm not thanking that thing.\\
'''Sam:''' [[ICallItVera His name is Redwing.]]\\
'''Black Widow:''' I'm still not thanking it.\\
'''Sam:''' He's cute. [[Funny/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Go ahead, pet him.]]
* CostumeEvolution: He starts out with a no-frills, all-black uniform, then adds a lot more red and silver after he officially joins the Avengers. His post-Endgame costume is less armored and predominantly white and red.
* DeadlyDodging: As fast as he is, he's particularly ''excellent'' at this, allowing him to almost single-handedly stand up to the Helicarrier. Falcon even has a SignatureMove of a sort by retracting his wings and curling into a ball to suddenly lose all lift, falling rapidly to avoid incoming attacks, only to unfurl and greet any {{Mook}}s stupid enough to approach him with a diving kick. Gets a CerebusCallback in ''Civil War'' when he evades Vision's laser, which then accidentally strikes down and nearly kills Rhodes.
* DeadpanSnarker: Given that he is a BadassNormal thrown into the weirdness of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, he reacts to most of the outlandish elements with dry humor. His reaction to Black Panther, a 6 foot tall muscular superhuman who's dressed like a panther and armed with Vibranium and also happens to be the prince of his own nation, is to simply ask him "So you like cats?"
* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Scott manages to beat him in their fight, having torn apart his backpack's wiring and gotten away with the piece of tech he needed, Sam is so impressed that he eventually starts seeking him out for the Avengers.
* DroneDeployer: His upgraded flight pack has a drone which he can deploy for reconnaissance by the time of ''Civil War''. The drone itself is called Redwing, a nod to the falcon pet Sam has in the comic books.
* DyingAlone: [[spoiler:In ''Infinity War'', as he turns into dust mere seconds before Rhodey can find him.]]
* DynamicEntry: His first scene in ''Infinity War'' is delivering a flying kick to Proxima Midnight that knocks her through a store. Not ''into'', '''through'''.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Is a veteran of the 58th Pararescue Squadron, a USAF unit of Special Forces-level [[CombatMedic combat medics]] dedicated to [[GunshipRescue gunship rescues]] of downed pilots TrappedBehindEnemyLines.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Rhodes. Both are technological heroes who served in the Air Force, but Rhodes served proudly and embraced authority while Sam left due to Riley's death and tells Steve he's happy no one's giving him orders anymore. Their different perspectives especially make sense given that Rhodey's a [[ColonelBadass career officer]] while Sam would have been [[SergeantRock enlisted]].
** The ''Civil War'' junior novelization addresses this directly. When Rhodey argues in favour of a chain of command, Sam retorts that it's easy to say that when you're at the top of the chain.
* FragileSpeedster: He's no match for some of the heavy hitters in the MCU, but in the air, Falcon's speed and agility allow him to hold his own against Helicarriers, Quinjets, Iron Man, etc. In ''The Winter Soldier'' he is actually the group's ''tank'' at one point, his DeadlyDodging skills allowing him to draw off a majority of enemy fire (and even turn it back around on them in some cases).
* AFriendInNeed: Does not hesitate to open his door to the fugitive Steve and Natasha.
-->'''Natasha:''' Everyone we know is trying to kill us.\\
'''Sam:'''... Not everyone.
* FriendlyEnemy: In ''Civil War.'' Despite being perhaps the staunchest member of Team Cap, he ''immediately'' rushes to assist Rhodey when the latter's suit fails, and expresses genuine concern for him later to Tony. With his former status as a CombatMedic, it makes perfect sense.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: His upgraded Avengers outfit has goggles with powerful zoom and scanning functions, allowing him to be the "eyes in the sky" for the New Avengers, identifying targets and scanning key objects. The goggles' powerful zoom function are even strong enough to track Ant-Man when he's shrunken.
* GlassCannon: The most agile Avenger in the air. His MKIII flight suite has missiles, offensive drones, can deflect small firearms, and packs considerable fire power in its small frame. However Sam himself is virtually unarmoured making him vulnerable to a good hit.
* TheHeart: He's a PTSD counselor and fellow war veteran, and in ''Winter Soldier'', one of his key roles is helping Steve open up emotionally. In ''Civil War'', Sam ends up being the closest thing to a peacemaker between the two rival factions, willing to help Tony if it means helping Steve. He's also genuinely concerned for Rhodey and tries desperately to save him, despite Rhodey being on the opposite side.
* HeroAntagonist: In ''Film/AntMan1'', he crosses paths with the eponymous superhero when the latter breaks into the Avengers HQ to steal a piece of technology needed to stop Darren Cross, and the two end up fighting. He's still an unambiguously heroic character but he just happens to be at cross-purposes with Ant-Man in Ant-Man's story.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Sam's past as a pararescue jumper, in which he completed missions impressive enough that even ''Black Widow'' thinks he's a badass, namely the capture of a wanted terrorist that he completed even after [[MyGreatestFailure his wingman was shot down]] during the same mission. His work counseling veterans with PTSD, while less flashy, also counts.
* HiddenDepths: In the movies, Sam's mostly shown as a superlative soldier with his jetpack, but in ''The Falcon and The Winter Soldier'', he's also shown to be fluent in Arabic and be able to maintain himself his Stark-tech level suit.
* HomeGuard: A member of the Air National Guard, which is to the USAF what the [Land] National Guard is to the US Army.
* HonorBeforeReason: Sam is willing to put his own safety on the line to help Steve in ''Winter Soldier'' because he's Captain America and bad guys need to be stopped.
* ICallItVera: Has an AttackDrone connected to his jetpack that he calls [[MythologyGag Redwing.]]
* JetPack: His flight suit is a jetpack with wings. The wings serve the dual purpose of aiding maneuverability and functioning as a shield. The pack also contains space for a separate drone by the time of ''Civil War''.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Needs all of zero convincing to jump in and help Steve and Natasha. He's also on board with Steve in tracking down the recovering amnesiac Bucky in the post-climax.
-->'''Steve:''' You don't have to come with me.\\
'''Sam:''' I know. When do we start?
* TheLancer: He winds up becoming this to Steve. As a heroic war veteran, he strikes a contrast with Steve because he has [[{{Flight}} a different sort of unique ability]]. This is especially true at the end of ''The Winter Soldier'' where they tag team Project Insight. In ''Civil War'', Steve is shown to trust Sam's tactical advice implicitly, even if the advice is to leave Sam himself behind.
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Endgame'', an aged Steve Rogers hands Sam his vibranium shield, essentially passing the mantle of Captain America to him. This is also a reference to the comics run where Sam temporarily became Cap, because Steve was drained of the Super Soldier Serum and subsequently became an old man.]]
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Is ''very'' insistent in ''Film/AntMan1'' and ''Civil War'' that no one talks about how he lost a fight to Ant-Man.
-->'''Sam:''' ... It's really important to me that Cap never finds out about this.
* ManlyTears: [[spoiler: When Steve gives him the shield at the end of ''Endgame'', Sam is visibly choked-up about receiving such a weighty mantle 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.]]
* MidSeasonUpgrade: In ''Infinity War'' he has more Redwing drones at his disposal, using them to take out some Outriders.
* MilitarySuperhero: Like Steve, Sam's a war veteran.
* 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.
* MyGreatestFailure: Haunted by the loss of a close friend in his unit. However, he's learned to deal with the trauma from it by the time of the film, and keeps an upbeat attitude.
-->'''Sam:''' Some stuff you leave there, other stuff you bring back. It's our job to figure out how to carry. Is it going to be in a big suitcase, or in a little man-purse? It's up to you.
* NervesOfSteel: On multiple occasions, he is willing to retract his wings and go into free-fall if it means gaining a tactical advantage, including a couple of nosedives directly at the ground.
* NeverBringAGunToAKnifeFight: Sam establishes his badass credentials in ''The Winter Soldier'' by using a small knife to handily dispatch an automatic weapon-wielding HYDRA mook.
* NiceGuy: He's on the same level as Steve, a reassurance that the morally gray modern days still have people as decent as him.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In ''Civil War'', he insists that Tony go alone to Siberia to meet with Steve and Bucky, meaning that there is no one to talk Tony down when Zemo reveals the truth about Tony’s parents’ death.
* TheNicknamer: A rather brief one in ''Civil War'': he slyly calls Scott Lang "Tic-tac". Come the end of the film, it's more of an AffectionateNickname rather than an insulting one.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:He gets disintegrated along with half the universe after Thanos snaps his fingers with the completed Infinity Gauntlet. He gets better.]]
* TheNotLoveInterest: Sam is the one who is most emotionally supportive of Steve, tries to get him to talk about his feelings, and establishes an instant rapport with him. The way he's introduced before the plot is and immediately clicks with Steve, combined with the aforementioned emotional support, means he fills a lot of the functions of a typical superhero movie girlfriend.
* NotSoDifferent: Acknowledged InUniverse that he and Steve are quite similar as both are war vets who return home unable to truly adjust to the world they left behind. Both lost their best friend and are genuinely nice people to boot.
-->'''Sam:''' Hey, don't look at me. I do everything he does, just slower.
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: Due to being a victim of Thanos' Snap, Sam is physically younger than his real age.]]
* OutOfFocus: He is heavily sidelined in ''Infinity War'', and only gets a few lines.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Downplayed. Though he's still a BadassNormal, he has some trouble holding his own without his flight suit and is trounced by superhumans like Spider-Man. One example is his fight with Rumlow; Sam, a military veteran who's been out of the field for a while, [[{{Determinator}} is pushed down but refuses to give up]], while Rumlow, a seasoned STRIKE agent who's still in action, overcomes him repeatedly and may have won if not for ''an entire Helicarrier'' falling on his head.
* PassingTheTorch: In ''Endgame'', [[spoiler:Steve gives Sam the shield. The latter feels horribly inadequate and it's this humility that affirms Steve's belief that he'll do just fine.]]
* PutOnABus: In ''Age of Ultron'', he's stated to be continuing the search for Bucky while Steve is occupied with the Avengers.
* RazorWings: In ''Endgame'', Falcon angrily drives the tips of his wings into an alien {{Mook}}'s chest. Cue the cheering.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Subtle, but in the Avengers team meeting in ''Civil War'', he is the first and most adamant anti-Accords advocate, before even Captain America, who leads that argument and makes similar points more eloquently. He calls out Rhodey/War Machine for playing both sides as an Avenger putting country before duty, notable as Rhodey, Steve, and Sam are all military veterans (Rhodey and Sam even served in the same branch, United States Air Force). Later in the same movie, he also holds less of a grudge than anyone on either side, and cares for the well-being of people he adamantly disagreed with.
* RejectingTheInheritance: Initially reluctant to take on Steve's shield because he doesn't feel like he's deserving of it, and instead gives to the Smithsonian for storage.
* RebelRelaxation: Is physically incapable of not leaning back when seated. It's ironic because he's not in the least rebellious, at least until ''Civil War'', at which point it's played for laughs.
-->'''Bucky:''' Can you move your seat up?\\
'''Sam:''' [[SeriousBusiness No]].
* ReplacementGoldfish: It's not directly remarked upon, but the picture of Sam's fallen wingman is a pretty close ringer for Steve Rogers appearance-wise.
* RespectedByTheRespected: When Sam presents his "resume" from the Falcon program, Natasha immediately recognizes one of his missions. She's openly impressed and starts trying to figure out how he successfully completed it.
* ReturningWarVet: In ''The Winter Soldier'', this is his common point of connection with Steve (and sure enough, Sam is eventually called upon to deploy his unique aerial combat skills).
* ScrapHeapHero: When Sam is introduced in ''The Winter Soldier'', he's been out of active duty for quite a while due to the traumatic loss of his wingman, and is living a quiet, normal life as a VA counselor.
* SeenItAll:
** Witness his complete non-reaction to Scott going from ant-size to normal-size right in front of him.
** When they first meet Spider-Man, a shocked Bucky blurts out "What the hell is ''that''?" Sam just grimaces and says "Everyone's got a gimmick now" in an annoyed tone.
* SergeantRock: Sam was an NCO during his military days, and he very much plays the "making sure what needs to be done ''gets'' done" role on Team Cap, particularly during the airport fight.
* ShellShockedVeteran: After watching Riley die, Sam couldn't bring himself to stay in the field any longer. He and Steve bond over how something as ordinary as a soft bed seems alien after their service.
* ShipperOnDeck: He smiles at Steve after he and Sharon Carter share a kiss.
* ShipTease: [[http://www.slashfilm.com/captain-america-the-winter-soldier-set-visit/ According to Mackie]], Sam has a crush on Black Widow. However, she doesn't know about it and Sam's only hints of it are when he gives her a friendly greeting upon first seeing Natasha and later insisting they get medical help for her after she's shot in the shoulder.
* TheShrink: While Sam's a counselor rather than a licensed MD, he fits type 3 nicely. He compassionately sizes up [[ShellShockedVeteran Steve's issues]] within about two minutes of conversation and even offers a no-pressure excuse for Steve to visit the VA and possibly seek counseling (claiming he just wants Steve to make him look awesome in front of the girl at the front desk), which Steve takes him up on. Sam also correctly deduces that VitriolicBestBuds is the way to go with Bucky.
* ShutUpHannibal: Provides one of ''the'' best examples in the MCU. When Brock Rumlow starts to monologue about the hopelessness of the good guys' situation and how they should all just bow to HYDRA, he has this to say:
-->'''Sam:''' Man, shut the hell ''up''.
* SpannerInTheWorks: As the Honest Trailer notes, Sam is essentially a random guy Steve met on the street. By simply being compassionate and reaching out to Steve as a fellow veteran, he unwittingly becomes the one person Steve feels safe seeking out as an ally after S.H.I.E.L.D. has turned against him. Needless to say, Sam goes on to ''really'' screw up the villains' plans.
* SuperheroPackingHeat: Wields [[GunsAkimbo a pair of guns]] in his flight suit, which flip out from the backpack to be put in his hands.
* SupportingLeader: In ''Civil War'', Cap consistently calls on Sam to make big-picture decisions for the team, and back him up on any task he can't complete alone. This is especially useful on occasions when Steve is too personally invested to objectively assess situations. Sam orchestrated the team's battle strategy in the airport sequence, as well as enabling most of the strategy in the Lagos response to Crossbones' attack. Additionally, he recruited Ant-Man, who (alongside his mentor) was previously reluctant to work with the Avengers. [[spoiler:This is probably another reason why he inherited the mantle of Captain America from Steve.]]
* SwissArmyWeapon: In ''Civil War'', Sam's Combat Wings can now transform into a [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe portable shield]], fire missiles, and [[DroneDeployer launch an attack and scouting drone]] named Redwing. In ''Endgame'', [[spoiler:Sam uses his wings to stab an opponent during the final battle]].
* TherapyIsForTheWeak: A walking, talking, flying aversion. He's a MilitarySuperhero who also counsels other veterans dealing with PTSD. Sam's backstory implies that he's working from experience as he himself had a breakdown of some kind after [[MyGreatestFailure the loss of his wingman.]]
* 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.
* TwoFirstNames: Or ''three'', in this case.
* UndyingLoyalty: It's subtle, but it's clear that Sam has pledged his to Steve. He decides to go with Steve on his search for Bucky, even though earlier in the movie he tried to convince Steve that it was very likely that Bucky couldn't be saved.
* VitriolicBestBuds: After Bucky regains his memories and joins Cap's side, he and Sam have this dynamic. They constantly bicker, but they have the same goals and Bucky is never far from Sam's side when the fighting finally starts. Sam is also the only person Bucky can act normally around aside from Steve.
* WarriorTherapist: Sam works at the VA counselling veterans and soldiers who come back from wars with PTSD, and he's also an elite soldier.
* WingShield: Falcon's upgraded EXO-7 wings can be used as shields thanks to being made out of a special bullet-resistant carbon fiber material. Their shapeshifting capabilities are shown off the most in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', where they fold into shields to cover Falcon's front as he drops in between two IFID Security goons. They can also be used one at a time to cover his lower body while he's attacking, and also merge to form a bigger shield to protect his backside.
* TheWorfEffect:
** Mentioned on the commentary track: Sam is a very skilled combatant, but he's new to the superhero business and the Winter Soldier is a killing machine going back at least six decades. The Soldier eliminates him as a threat in one move, and Sam barely had time to release his parachute--it doesn't inflate all the way and slows his descent only enough to keep him from serious injury.
** Gets hit by this again in ''Ant-Man''. He has a brief but exciting battle with Scott, who defeats Falcon and escapes in a display of how far his training has come.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Was unable to defeat Agent Rumlow in ''Winter Soldier'' due to him losing his harness and guns after a prior fight with Bucky, forcing him to rely on his fists.

[[caption-width-right:350:The old Redwing model.]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/redwing_laser.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The new Redwing model.]]
Sam's personal attack drone given by Stark, which he has a fondness to. After the events of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', a new Redwing model is introduced in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier''.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Given Redwing's change from a falcon to a high-tech drone, Redwing is far more combat capable, housing guns and missiles and many other weaponry inside it.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the comics, Redwing was a falcon that Falcon himself had a telepathic link to. Here, Redwing is a flying drone.
* AttackDrone:
** Redwing is primarily a scout drone, but it does have a small gun to deal with individual threats, and a grappling cable Falcon uses to drag Spider-Man away. Also, in a pinch, you can straight-up launch it at someone's face.
** During ''Infinity War'', in place of Redwing, Falcon can now eject three arrowhead-shaped smaller drones from his jetpack, which can fly over and ''through'' enemies since they are sharp.
** ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'' brings back Redwing--and the drone itself now has the projectiles that can give even helicopters a run for their money.
* BadassAdorable: Considered cute by Sam.
* ICallItVera: Sam named the drone "Redwing."
* PragmaticAdaptation: In the MCU Redwing is a drone that Sam can remotely operate rather than [[BondCreatures a bird he shares a telepathic link with]].
* SurveillanceDrone: One of Redwing's functions. It is equipped with a camera that can see through solid objects in order to detect enemies, and sends visual data and other info into Falcon's goggles.
* SwissArmyWeapon: The drone is fitted with as many armaments that can be crammed inside such a small equipment, including machine guns and a grapple projectile. Missiles and a LaserCutter were added for the new model.

->''"I don't see the big picture. I have a little picture. I take it out and look at it every day."''
Wanda's twin brother, who also underwent Wolfgang von Strucker's experiment, which gave him superhuman speed. He joins his sister in helping bring about Ultron's vision of a new order without the Avengers. After learning of Ultron's real intentions, he defects alongside his sister and they join the Avengers in order to save their planet -- along with what remains of their home. However, he ends up sacrificing his life to save Hawkeye.
->''For tropes applying to "The Visitor", see the Characters/MCUCitizensWestview page.''
%%NOTE: Keep all tropes about Evan Peters's iteration of the character on ''Series/WandaVision'' to the "Westview" section. No spoilers above the trope list.
----
** "I never said '''pilot''.'" He seems to now be the sole surviving member of an elite pararescue team, and while not quite a household name, Sam reached a level of technical skill on maneuvering through difficult situations to the level that even the Black Widow had heard of his missions before actually meeting him.
** During the attack on Project INSIGHT, he was able to avoid the firepower of three fully armed Helicarriers and a Quinjet (as Captain America was aboard a Helicarrier, he was the only target they could shoot at), while still completing his mission.
** ''Falcon & the Winter Soldier'' also demonstrates his skills with his flight suit in spectacular fashion.
* AdaptationDistillation: In the comics, Sam Wilson was a social worker, and later retconned into being a pimp who'd been brainwashed by the Red Skull and the Cosmic Cube/Tesseract to ''think'' he was a social worker, but was actually the Skull's mole. Then ''that'' retcon was later retconned. The films instead make Sam both a veteran and a veterans' counselor, preserving the spirit of someone who'd spend his time trying to better the lives of others and giving him a specific point of connection with Steve.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics, Sam is physically normal but can psychically communicate with Redwing and other birds. In the movies, Sam is a BadassNormal who's very, very skilled with a jetpack.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: [[spoiler:Sam Wilson is the true successor to Captain America, at least as far as Steve Rogers is concerned. Steve's white, while Sam's black.]]
* AnimalMotifs: Falcons, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin obviously]]. It's not as much as his comic book counterpart, who has an ''actual'' falcon as his crime-fighting sidekick companion, but the winged flight suit means the imagery is still there. By ''Civil War'' he has a drone named "Redwing" (which was an actual bird in the comics).
* AscendedFanboy: It's hinted he's this in regards to Steve. When asked by Steve himself if he is sure that he wants to come out of retirement, he replies, "Dude, ''Captain America'' needs my help. There's no better time to get back in."
* AwesomeBackpack: The bulk of Falcon's abilities are concentrated in his backpack, which functions as a JetPack with retractible wings, making him able to fly in a very nimble manner. During later appearances, the backpack houses attack drones and a couple of missiles.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Falcon's ability as a trained combatant to preempt and intercept Scott Lang's attacks (with the help of his goggles) is the main reason why he even had a fighting chance against a superpowered opponent.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In ''Endgame'', he, along with all the people that were dusted by Thanos's BadassFingerSnap from ''Infinity War'', all come back to life thanks to Professor Hulk reversing Thanos's actions with a finger snap of his own.]]
* BadassBaritone: One of the New Avengers (and chosen successor to Captain America), and has a pretty deep voice.
* BadassMustache: A highly trained, competent superhero that sports a goatee. It also serves as a contrast with clean-shaven Steve, who he most often works with.
* BadassNormal: He's just a normal man with special training, yet he managed to outfly S.H.I.E.L.D. fighters, take down a ''Helicarrier'' almost entirely by himself, and nearly took down Ant-Man despite Scott's superpower advantage. In ''Infinity War'', he sends Proxima Midnight, a seven-foot-tall alien warrior woman, flying into a restaurant with a diving kick, ''twice.''
* BirdsOfAFeather: Puns aside, this is why he and Steve click so well: they're both relentlessly good guys, veterans, dedicated to helping others, and even had similar experiences in war, having to watch as a close friend fell to his death during what should have been a routine op. The only difference is, in Sam's case, Riley's death was permanent.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: His comic book counterpart's psychic connection to birds is not mentioned; his combat prowess is due to the retractable wings on his suit.
* CombatMedic: Though he doesn't perform the role in the films, as a former Air Force Pararescueman, he previously served as one.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Zig-Zagged. "Falcon" was the codename of his original flight pack, but Maria Hill calls him "Falcon" during the attack on Project Insight in ''Winter Soldier'', and he becomes known to the public as "the Falcon" by the time of ''Ant-Man''.
* CompanionCube: He's very fond of his drone Redwing. Best seen when Redwing assists Widow in taking out one of two HYDRA terrorists about to unleash a biological weapon.
-->'''Black Widow:''' Thanks, Sam.\\
'''Sam:''' Don't thank me.\\
'''Black Widow:''' I'm not thanking that thing.\\
'''Sam:''' [[ICallItVera His name is Redwing.]]\\
'''Black Widow:''' I'm still not thanking it.\\
'''Sam:''' He's cute. [[Funny/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Go ahead, pet him.]]
* CostumeEvolution: He starts out with a no-frills, all-black uniform, then adds a lot more red and silver after he officially joins the Avengers. His post-Endgame costume is less armored and predominantly white and red.
* DeadlyDodging: As fast as he is, he's particularly ''excellent'' at this, allowing him to almost single-handedly stand up to the Helicarrier. Falcon even has a SignatureMove of a sort by retracting his wings and curling into a ball to suddenly lose all lift, falling rapidly to avoid incoming attacks, only to unfurl and greet any {{Mook}}s stupid enough to approach him with a diving kick. Gets a CerebusCallback in ''Civil War'' when he evades Vision's laser, which then accidentally strikes down and nearly kills Rhodes.
* DeadpanSnarker: Given that he is a BadassNormal thrown into the weirdness of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, he reacts to most of the outlandish elements with dry humor. His reaction to Black Panther, a 6 foot tall muscular superhuman who's dressed like a panther and armed with Vibranium and also happens to be the prince of his own nation, is to simply ask him "So you like cats?"
* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Scott manages to beat him in their fight, having torn apart his backpack's wiring and gotten away with the piece of tech he needed, Sam is so impressed that he eventually starts seeking him out for the Avengers.
* DroneDeployer: His upgraded flight pack has a drone which he can deploy for reconnaissance by the time of ''Civil War''. The drone itself is called Redwing, a nod to the falcon pet Sam has in the comic books.
* DyingAlone: [[spoiler:In ''Infinity War'', as he turns into dust mere seconds before Rhodey can find him.]]
* DynamicEntry: His first scene in ''Infinity War'' is delivering a flying kick to Proxima Midnight that knocks her through a store. Not ''into'', '''through'''.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Is a veteran of the 58th Pararescue Squadron, a USAF unit of Special Forces-level [[CombatMedic combat medics]] dedicated to [[GunshipRescue gunship rescues]] of downed pilots TrappedBehindEnemyLines.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Rhodes. Both are technological heroes who served in the Air Force, but Rhodes served proudly and embraced authority while Sam left due to Riley's death and tells Steve he's happy no one's giving him orders anymore. Their different perspectives especially make sense given that Rhodey's a [[ColonelBadass career officer]] while Sam would have been [[SergeantRock enlisted]].
** The ''Civil War'' junior novelization addresses this directly. When Rhodey argues in favour of a chain of command, Sam retorts that it's easy to say that when you're at the top of the chain.
* FragileSpeedster: He's no match for some of the heavy hitters in the MCU, but in the air, Falcon's speed and agility allow him to hold his own against Helicarriers, Quinjets, Iron Man, etc. In ''The Winter Soldier'' he is actually the group's ''tank'' at one point, his DeadlyDodging skills allowing him to draw off a majority of enemy fire (and even turn it back around on them in some cases).
* AFriendInNeed: Does not hesitate to open his door to the fugitive Steve and Natasha.
-->'''Natasha:''' Everyone we know is trying to kill us.\\
'''Sam:'''... Not everyone.
* FriendlyEnemy: In ''Civil War.'' Despite being perhaps the staunchest member of Team Cap, he ''immediately'' rushes to assist Rhodey when the latter's suit fails, and expresses genuine concern for him later to Tony. With his former status as a CombatMedic, it makes perfect sense.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: His upgraded Avengers outfit has goggles with powerful zoom and scanning functions, allowing him to be the "eyes in the sky" for the New Avengers, identifying targets and scanning key objects. The goggles' powerful zoom function are even strong enough to track Ant-Man when he's shrunken.
* GlassCannon: The most agile Avenger in the air. His MKIII flight suite has missiles, offensive drones, can deflect small firearms, and packs considerable fire power in its small frame. However Sam himself is virtually unarmoured making him vulnerable to a good hit.
* TheHeart: He's a PTSD counselor and fellow war veteran, and in ''Winter Soldier'', one of his key roles is helping Steve open up emotionally. In ''Civil War'', Sam ends up being the closest thing to a peacemaker between the two rival factions, willing to help Tony if it means helping Steve. He's also genuinely concerned for Rhodey and tries desperately to save him, despite Rhodey being on the opposite side.
* HeroAntagonist: In ''Film/AntMan1'', he crosses paths with the eponymous superhero when the latter breaks into the Avengers HQ to steal a piece of technology needed to stop Darren Cross, and the two end up fighting. He's still an unambiguously heroic character but he just happens to be at cross-purposes with Ant-Man in Ant-Man's story.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Sam's past as a pararescue jumper, in which he completed missions impressive enough that even ''Black Widow'' thinks he's a badass, namely the capture of a wanted terrorist that he completed even after [[MyGreatestFailure his wingman was shot down]] during the same mission. His work counseling veterans with PTSD, while less flashy, also counts.
* HiddenDepths: In the movies, Sam's mostly shown as a superlative soldier with his jetpack, but in ''The Falcon and The Winter Soldier'', he's also shown to be fluent in Arabic and be able to maintain himself his Stark-tech level suit.
* HomeGuard: A member of the Air National Guard, which is to the USAF what the [Land] National Guard is to the US Army.
* HonorBeforeReason: Sam is willing to put his own safety on the line to help Steve in ''Winter Soldier'' because he's Captain America and bad guys need to be stopped.
* ICallItVera: Has an AttackDrone connected to his jetpack that he calls [[MythologyGag Redwing.]]
* JetPack: His flight suit is a jetpack with wings. The wings serve the dual purpose of aiding maneuverability and functioning as a shield. The pack also contains space for a separate drone by the time of ''Civil War''.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Needs all of zero convincing to jump in and help Steve and Natasha. He's also on board with Steve in tracking down the recovering amnesiac Bucky in the post-climax.
-->'''Steve:''' You don't have to come with me.\\
'''Sam:''' I know. When do we start?
* TheLancer: He winds up becoming this to Steve. As a heroic war veteran, he strikes a contrast with Steve because he has [[{{Flight}} a different sort of unique ability]]. This is especially true at the end of ''The Winter Soldier'' where they tag team Project Insight. In ''Civil War'', Steve is shown to trust Sam's tactical advice implicitly, even if the advice is to leave Sam himself behind.
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Endgame'', an aged Steve Rogers hands Sam his vibranium shield, essentially passing the mantle of Captain America to him. This is also a reference to the comics run where Sam temporarily became Cap, because Steve was drained of the Super Soldier Serum and subsequently became an old man.]]
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Is ''very'' insistent in ''Film/AntMan1'' and ''Civil War'' that no one talks about how he lost a fight to Ant-Man.
-->'''Sam:''' ... It's really important to me that Cap never finds out about this.
* ManlyTears: [[spoiler: When Steve gives him the shield at the end of ''Endgame'', Sam is visibly choked-up about receiving such a weighty mantle 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.]]
* MidSeasonUpgrade: In ''Infinity War'' he has more Redwing drones at his disposal, using them to take out some Outriders.
* MilitarySuperhero: Like Steve, Sam's a war veteran.
* 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.
* MyGreatestFailure: Haunted by the loss of a close friend in his unit. However, he's learned to deal with the trauma from it by the time of the film, and keeps an upbeat attitude.
-->'''Sam:''' Some stuff you leave there, other stuff you bring back. It's our job to figure out how to carry. Is it going to be in a big suitcase, or in a little man-purse? It's up to you.
* NervesOfSteel: On multiple occasions, he is willing to retract his wings and go into free-fall if it means gaining a tactical advantage, including a couple of nosedives directly at the ground.
* NeverBringAGunToAKnifeFight: Sam establishes his badass credentials in ''The Winter Soldier'' by using a small knife to handily dispatch an automatic weapon-wielding HYDRA mook.
* NiceGuy: He's on the same level as Steve, a reassurance that the morally gray modern days still have people as decent as him.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In ''Civil War'', he insists that Tony go alone to Siberia to meet with Steve and Bucky, meaning that there is no one to talk Tony down when Zemo reveals the truth about Tony’s parents’ death.
* TheNicknamer: A rather brief one in ''Civil War'': he slyly calls Scott Lang "Tic-tac". Come the end of the film, it's more of an AffectionateNickname rather than an insulting one.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:He gets disintegrated along with half the universe after Thanos snaps his fingers with the completed Infinity Gauntlet. He gets better.]]
* TheNotLoveInterest: Sam is the one who is most emotionally supportive of Steve, tries to get him to talk about his feelings, and establishes an instant rapport with him. The way he's introduced before the plot is and immediately clicks with Steve, combined with the aforementioned emotional support, means he fills a lot of the functions of a typical superhero movie girlfriend.
* NotSoDifferent: Acknowledged InUniverse that he and Steve are quite similar as both are war vets who return home unable to truly adjust to the world they left behind. Both lost their best friend and are genuinely nice people to boot.
-->'''Sam:''' Hey, don't look at me. I do everything he does, just slower.
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: Due to being a victim of Thanos' Snap, Sam is physically younger than his real age.]]
* OutOfFocus: He is heavily sidelined in ''Infinity War'', and only gets a few lines.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Downplayed. Though he's still a BadassNormal, he has some trouble holding his own without his flight suit and is trounced by superhumans like Spider-Man. One example is his fight with Rumlow; Sam, a military veteran who's been out of the field for a while, [[{{Determinator}} is pushed down but refuses to give up]], while Rumlow, a seasoned STRIKE agent who's still in action, overcomes him repeatedly and may have won if not for ''an entire Helicarrier'' falling on his head.
* PassingTheTorch: In ''Endgame'', [[spoiler:Steve gives Sam the shield. The latter feels horribly inadequate and it's this humility that affirms Steve's belief that he'll do just fine.]]
* PutOnABus: In ''Age of Ultron'', he's stated to be continuing the search for Bucky while Steve is occupied with the Avengers.
* RazorWings: In ''Endgame'', Falcon angrily drives the tips of his wings into an alien {{Mook}}'s chest. Cue the cheering.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Subtle, but in the Avengers team meeting in ''Civil War'', he is the first and most adamant anti-Accords advocate, before even Captain America, who leads that argument and makes similar points more eloquently. He calls out Rhodey/War Machine for playing both sides as an Avenger putting country before duty, notable as Rhodey, Steve, and Sam are all military veterans (Rhodey and Sam even served in the same branch, United States Air Force). Later in the same movie, he also holds less of a grudge than anyone on either side, and cares for the well-being of people he adamantly disagreed with.
* RejectingTheInheritance: Initially reluctant to take on Steve's shield because he doesn't feel like he's deserving of it, and instead gives to the Smithsonian for storage.
* RebelRelaxation: Is physically incapable of not leaning back when seated. It's ironic because he's not in the least rebellious, at least until ''Civil War'', at which point it's played for laughs.
-->'''Bucky:''' Can you move your seat up?\\
'''Sam:''' [[SeriousBusiness No]].
* ReplacementGoldfish: It's not directly remarked upon, but the picture of Sam's fallen wingman is a pretty close ringer for Steve Rogers appearance-wise.
* RespectedByTheRespected: When Sam presents his "resume" from the Falcon program, Natasha immediately recognizes one of his missions. She's openly impressed and starts trying to figure out how he successfully completed it.
* ReturningWarVet: In ''The Winter Soldier'', this is his common point of connection with Steve (and sure enough, Sam is eventually called upon to deploy his unique aerial combat skills).
* ScrapHeapHero: When Sam is introduced in ''The Winter Soldier'', he's been out of active duty for quite a while due to the traumatic loss of his wingman, and is living a quiet, normal life as a VA counselor.
* SeenItAll:
** Witness his complete non-reaction to Scott going from ant-size to normal-size right in front of him.
** When they first meet Spider-Man, a shocked Bucky blurts out "What the hell is ''that''?" Sam just grimaces and says "Everyone's got a gimmick now" in an annoyed tone.
* SergeantRock: Sam was an NCO during his military days, and he very much plays the "making sure what needs to be done ''gets'' done" role on Team Cap, particularly during the airport fight.
* ShellShockedVeteran: After watching Riley die, Sam couldn't bring himself to stay in the field any longer. He and Steve bond over how something as ordinary as a soft bed seems alien after their service.
* ShipperOnDeck: He smiles at Steve after he and Sharon Carter share a kiss.
* ShipTease: [[http://www.slashfilm.com/captain-america-the-winter-soldier-set-visit/ According to Mackie]], Sam has a crush on Black Widow. However, she doesn't know about it and Sam's only hints of it are when he gives her a friendly greeting upon first seeing Natasha and later insisting they get medical help for her after she's shot in the shoulder.
* TheShrink: While Sam's a counselor rather than a licensed MD, he fits type 3 nicely. He compassionately sizes up [[ShellShockedVeteran Steve's issues]] within about two minutes of conversation and even offers a no-pressure excuse for Steve to visit the VA and possibly seek counseling (claiming he just wants Steve to make him look awesome in front of the girl at the front desk), which Steve takes him up on. Sam also correctly deduces that VitriolicBestBuds is the way to go with Bucky.
* ShutUpHannibal: Provides one of ''the'' best examples in the MCU. When Brock Rumlow starts to monologue about the hopelessness of the good guys' situation and how they should all just bow to HYDRA, he has this to say:
-->'''Sam:''' Man, shut the hell ''up''.
* SpannerInTheWorks: As the Honest Trailer notes, Sam is essentially a random guy Steve met on the street. By simply being compassionate and reaching out to Steve as a fellow veteran, he unwittingly becomes the one person Steve feels safe seeking out as an ally after S.H.I.E.L.D. has turned against him. Needless to say, Sam goes on to ''really'' screw up the villains' plans.
* SuperheroPackingHeat: Wields [[GunsAkimbo a pair of guns]] in his flight suit, which flip out from the backpack to be put in his hands.
* SupportingLeader: In ''Civil War'', Cap consistently calls on Sam to make big-picture decisions for the team, and back him up on any task he can't complete alone. This is especially useful on occasions when Steve is too personally invested to objectively assess situations. Sam orchestrated the team's battle strategy in the airport sequence, as well as enabling most of the strategy in the Lagos response to Crossbones' attack. Additionally, he recruited Ant-Man, who (alongside his mentor) was previously reluctant to work with the Avengers. [[spoiler:This is probably another reason why he inherited the mantle of Captain America from Steve.]]
* SwissArmyWeapon: In ''Civil War'', Sam's Combat Wings can now transform into a [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe portable shield]], fire missiles, and [[DroneDeployer launch an attack and scouting drone]] named Redwing. In ''Endgame'', [[spoiler:Sam uses his wings to stab an opponent during the final battle]].
* TherapyIsForTheWeak: A walking, talking, flying aversion. He's a MilitarySuperhero who also counsels other veterans dealing with PTSD. Sam's backstory implies that he's working from experience as he himself had a breakdown of some kind after [[MyGreatestFailure the loss of his wingman.]]
* 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.
* TwoFirstNames: Or ''three'', in this case.
* UndyingLoyalty: It's subtle, but it's clear that Sam has pledged his to Steve. He decides to go with Steve on his search for Bucky, even though earlier in the movie he tried to convince Steve that it was very likely that Bucky couldn't be saved.
* VitriolicBestBuds: After Bucky regains his memories and joins Cap's side, he and Sam have this dynamic. They constantly bicker, but they have the same goals and Bucky is never far from Sam's side when the fighting finally starts. Sam is also the only person Bucky can act normally around aside from Steve.
* WarriorTherapist: Sam works at the VA counselling veterans and soldiers who come back from wars with PTSD, and he's also an elite soldier.
* WingShield: Falcon's upgraded EXO-7 wings can be used as shields thanks to being made out of a special bullet-resistant carbon fiber material. Their shapeshifting capabilities are shown off the most in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', where they fold into shields to cover Falcon's front as he drops in between two IFID Security goons. They can also be used one at a time to cover his lower body while he's attacking, and also merge to form a bigger shield to protect his backside.
* TheWorfEffect:
** Mentioned on the commentary track: Sam is a very skilled combatant, but he's new to the superhero business and the Winter Soldier is a killing machine going back at least six decades. The Soldier eliminates him as a threat in one move, and Sam barely had time to release his parachute--it doesn't inflate all the way and slows his descent only enough to keep him from serious injury.
** Gets hit by this again in ''Ant-Man''. He has a brief but exciting battle with Scott, who defeats Falcon and escapes in a display of how far his training has come.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Was unable to defeat Agent Rumlow in ''Winter Soldier'' due to him losing his harness and guns after a prior fight with Bucky, forcing him to rely on his fists.

[[caption-width-right:350:The new Redwing model.]]
Sam's personal attack drone given by Stark, which he has a fondness to. After the events of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', a new Redwing model is introduced in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier''.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Given Redwing's change from a falcon to a high-tech drone, Redwing is far more combat capable, housing guns and missiles and many other weaponry inside it.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the comics, Redwing was a falcon that Falcon himself had a telepathic link to. Here, Redwing is a flying drone.
* AttackDrone:
** Redwing is primarily a scout drone, but it does have a small gun to deal with individual threats, and a grappling cable Falcon uses to drag Spider-Man away. Also, in a pinch, you can straight-up launch it at someone's face.
** During ''Infinity War'', in place of Redwing, Falcon can now eject three arrowhead-shaped smaller drones from his jetpack, which can fly over and ''through'' enemies since they are sharp.
** ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'' brings back Redwing--and the drone itself now has the projectiles that can give even helicopters a run for their money.
* BadassAdorable: Considered cute by Sam.
* ICallItVera: Sam named the drone "Redwing."
* PragmaticAdaptation: In the MCU Redwing is a drone that Sam can remotely operate rather than [[BondCreatures a bird he shares a telepathic link with]].
* SurveillanceDrone: One of Redwing's functions. It is equipped with a camera that can see through solid objects in order to detect enemies, and sends visual data and other info into Falcon's goggles.
* SwissArmyWeapon: The drone is fitted with as many armaments that can be crammed inside such a small equipment, including machine guns and a grapple projectile. Missiles and a LaserCutter were added for the new model.
