The character was first introduced by no other than Stan Lee and artist Gene Colins in Captain America 117 back in Sept 1969. Otherwise known as Samuael Thomas Wilson. Facon has mechanical wings which he uses to swoop in and help save the day. He is also an expert bird trainer with basic empathic and technopathic abilities over birds in the comics and is the Uncle of Jim Wilson friend of the Hulk’s and who was the first notable HIV positive character, who’s father would go on to join the Gama Corp. The Falcon was always a strong character who was always ready to help those who need it. With his tech, ability to fly with Tech and his excellent fighting abilities he is quite a strong character despite his having no super powers.
In the game his unique ability is being able to manipulate the top card of the encounter deck allowing players to plan ahead and make strategic choices. His “Eagle-Eyed” ability, combined with his “aerial” cards, gives him strong defensive and offensive capabilities, especially in a multiplayer setting, whihc means he is an adaptable and excellent control-focused hero. This is a strong Leadership deck with synergies built around aerial cards, as you would expect, as well as other valuable cards that can be used with other heroes.
Falcon is an all round character who doesn’t specialise in one area so is good to fill holes in your roster especially with a smaller team roster, but lacks a specialism to excel in a bigger team of heroes.
