10 Characters That Should Be Added To Marvel's Avengers
8. Falcon
How can you do a story about Captain America (allegedly) dying and not have one of his besties there to pick up the slack?
Falcon's been a heavy hitter for some time now, even taking up the mantle of Captain America at one point in the comics, so with Cap's legacy in question, it makes perfect sense to draft in a grieving Falcon to lend moral support. And, like, actual support. Of the aerial kind.
it's this aerial combat aspect which would make Falcon an interesting character to play when contrasted to the other flight based characters already revealed. While Iron Man and Thor can also take to the air, they're less than graceful, and a more agile, speedier, character would be a great way to balance out the flying mechanics.
It would also be a really great way to introduce some different looks for the character to MCU only audiences, where he's basically worn nothing but black and red leather. Not that there's anything wrong with leather, mind, but something flashier from the comics would be a nice change of pace. Maybe the one with actual bird feathers. Then again, that'd be a pain to clean up after...
