![]() That means the MCU's new Captain America can take a hit, even if he's thrown his shield. In Falcon & Winter Soldier episode 1, Sam used these wings as a shield he proves able to do the same with these new wings in episode 6, but they seem far more durable, probably made of Vibranium. There are also hints of red in his blue suit, what could be considered a callback to the character’s 40’s era look. That was a wise choice, because Sam's wings are both impressive and imposing, giving him such a distinctive profile in the MCU. Captain America: The Winter Soldier rightly abandoned the underarm wings of the comics while Falcon & Winter Soldier could technically have brought them back courtesy of Wakanda, the designers chose to avoid doing so. The wings are the big difference between Sam's comic book costume and his MCU look. The belt buckle has been streamlined a little, so it doesn't dominate the costume in the same way as in the comics, instead ensuring your eye is drawn to the symbol on Sam's chest. It's likely they also incorporate some controls for Redwing and the other drones he's been given by the Wakandans. The new Captain America's goggles are the same, although they have additional sensor capacity in the MCU where the comics just treated them as eye protectors his gloves have been turned into gauntlets, presumably to help Sam catch a heavy shield that's flying toward him at speed. The color scheme, the pattern of the piping, even the style of the logo is incredibly accurate it's simplified a little over the chest, but rightly so because the patterns around the star were a little too complex in the comics. This time round, though, the design is lifted straight from the comics. Marvel Studios may be a lot more willing to do comic-book-accurate costumes than Fox (whose first X-Men film back in 2000 quietly mocked superhero fans for wanting blue spandex), but even Marvel didn't feel the world was ready for a comic accurate Falcon. Sam Wilson's MCU costume shows just how far the superhero genre has come. ![]() The figure is almost an exact copy of the costume Sam Wilson wore in the 2014 All-New Captain America comic book series for Marvel, written by Rick Remender and illustrated by Stuart Immonen.

Enemies who thought they could take on Steve Rogers or John Walker will find Sam Wilson very difficult indeed to handle. Meanwhile, Sam's fighting style doesn't just incorporate athleticism and shield-swinging he's an airborne superhero, and often he uses his rocket-thrusters to perform impressive gymnastic feats. In his view, doing so would dishonor all those who fought before him, including Isaiah Bradley - the forgotten super-soldier who Sam has brought to the public eye through a new part of the Captain America exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution. He's well aware that there are millions of people who want the first Black Captain America to fail, but he's not going to stop fighting. Sam will be a different kind of Captain America, though.
