The Falcon has proven over the years how vital his role is in the Avengers. Now, he's set to play an even bigger role as Captain America's successor in the upcoming Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. However, for how skilled and reliable he is, Sam Wilson still understood his limits from the get-go and he was pretty much aware that underneath all of his cool gizmos and his trusty flight pack, he's just a normal human being. In the new book The Wakanda Files: A Technological Exploration of the Avengers and Beyond published by Marvel (via ScreenRant), it was revealed that Sam Wilson actually asked Tony Stark and Stark Industries for some help regarding his suit. He even wrote Stark's company a letter asking for a much-needed update. He said:
It wasn't exactly stated in the book when it takes place but I'm assuming he asked for his suit upgrade during or after the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Obviously, Sam ultimately got his new and improved suit. Now, given the fact that Wilson still chose to align himself with Steve Rogers in Captain America: Civil War to opposed Team Iron Man, maybe it wasn't the smartest of decisions on Tony's part to grant Sam his wish. Well, he created Ultron after all so I guess he never learned his lesson. As for Falcon, his journey as a bonafide hero is only about to begin. We've seen him fare with villainous threats in the past but is he ready to take the mantle of Captain America?
