 I think I would have decided to go it alone for the rest of my life... but then I met The Falcon. He reminded me why I donned this mask in the first place... to inspire people to stand up for themselves. The truth is I don't know what I'd do without Sam --

History

Falcon's history is presumably similar to his Earth-616 counterpart's. He grew up in the U Street Corridor of Washington, D.C. He later became the sidekick of the hero Nighthawk after a fight with the Red Skull. Sam inspired Nighthawk to become a true hero again. During a fight with the Goblin, Goblin tossed Falcon off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Nighthawk tried to rescue him, but his super strength caused his rescue line to snap Falcon's neck. This deeply hurt Nighthawk to the point where he refused to take on any more sidekicks.

Notes

• This version of Falcon is a pastiche of Jason Todd as they both died by their partners' arch-nemeses, The Goblin and the The Joker, respectively. Their codenames are also both based on type of birds.
• His death also parallels how Gwen Stacy died.
