The Marvel Comics History of Falcon II, Joaquín Torres

The Nerdist article discusses Joaquin Torres, the current Falcon in Marvel Comics, and his unique and sometimes brutal journey to becoming Captain America's partner. Initially a young immigrant kidnapped by the Sons of the Serpent and experimented on using Falcon's DNA, Joaquin developed bird-like powers and a bond with Sam Wilson (then Captain America). He reluctantly embraced his new reality, fighting alongside Cap and eventually taking on the Falcon mantle when Sam returned to the Captain America identity. The article highlights the darker aspects of his origin and experiences compared to other young heroes, emphasizing the ongoing trauma and difficult choices Joaquin faces as he continues to define himself as a hero and as the Falcon. It posits that Joaquin's story, while less widely known than Sam Wilson's, is an important and compelling part of the modern Captain America mythos.
