Biography

 Doctor Samuel Wilson served in Army, where he met Nick Fury. Upon leaving the military, he was recruited by Nick Fury as a contract Operative for S.H.I.E.L.D. and placed on their payroll. Wilson was allowed to continue his research independently, but reported all important findings to S.H.I.E.L.D.When a strange signal goes out all over the world, S.H.I.E.L.D. investigates. Lead by Fury and assisted by Black Widow and Captain America, the three determine that they need a science guy to help out. Fury specifically thinks of the Falcon, due to his military background. The Falcon is picked up in the Amazon Jungle, where he is doing research with the Shaman in the region, whom he called “Necronauts” because they say they travel among the dead. Falcon, Cap, Black Widow, and Fury locate the signal, and also find out that the X-Men are on the scene, presuming that the signal originated by a mutant. The teams find the true source of the signal; a mechanical being named Vision which the soviets were taking apart and implanting it’s tech onto test subjects. The Vision came to Earth to warn of the impending threat of Gah Lak Tus. Falcon was assigned by S.H.I.E.L.D. to work with Vision and learn what he could. The Falcon relocated to the Triskelion to work on Vision, and took part in the defense of the base from the Enclave. He first partnered with Captain America to investigate reports of a silver skinned man in Manhattan, which turned out to be the herald of Gah Lak Tus. Afterwards Falcon stayed on working with S.H.I.E.L.D. and partnering with Captain America. He would appear later when Fury ask him to infiltrate Reed Richards’ City of Tomorrow. Even though the Falcon was using new tech that rendered him invisible, Richards was able to detect him.
