Episode 7: Falcon

Me: *Reading Captain America #117* in the Golden Oaks Library*

Spike: *Sits next to me and sighs*

Me: What's wrong Spike?

Spike: Well, I can't find a comic sidekick who actually does awesome things...

Me: I know one, his name is Falcon.

Spike: Falcon?

Me: Falcon, aka Samuel Wilson, was the sidekick of Captain America. He originally had a green outfit, but changed it to red and white suit with red wings in Captain America Annual #11*.

Spike: Wow! He sounds pretty cool.

Me: *Nods* He's even filled in for Captain America.

Spike: Really?

Me: Yeah, in Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #9*, Captain America is injured and Falcon must take up the red, white, and blue shield to do battle with evildoers.

Spike: Wow...he's even been a better hero...anything else?

Me: Well, he's also been second-in-command of the anti-registration side, aka the Secret Avengers in Civil War #4*.

Spike: That's so cool!

Me: And, starting last year, Falcon would end up becoming the new Captain America for a little while, starting in Captain America Vol 7 #25*.

Spike: Falcon sounds awesome! I'm going to go read all of the comics about Falcon! Thank you!

Me: Welcome.
