Where and who made the Falcon's suit in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Is it that Sam Wilson obtained that advanced suit, along with all the high tech gadgets like the drones etc (Captain America: Civil War), at a US military base?

So the US military made Falcon's suit?



Best Answer

The US Military, specifically the US Air National Guard, made/commissioned the prototype flight suits, the EXO-7 Falcon, that Sam used in Afghanistan. The last one, presumably Sam's since Riley's was destroyed when he died, is the one he asks Capt and Nat to steal in "Winter Soldier". It was taken back when Sam was discharged from the service.

That suit was damaged by the Winter Soldier during the movie.

The suit is repaired and upgraded (likely completely replaced) by Stark Tech in the Stark bankrolled Avengers, as seen at the end of "Age of Ultron", and "Ant-Man". There are further upgrades, including Redwing, the falcon shaped drone, that have been seen in the prologue of "Civil War".

The computerized goggles, and the drone, Redwing, were not part of the original suit seen in "Winter Soldier".


It's never directly stated in any film, or the prequel comics for the MCU, who designed the original EXO-7. According to a now dead link (2014 cache by Archive.org), writer Anthony Breznican says:

When EW visited the set of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I noticed that the prop wings had a small trademark embossed on them, alongside a serial number: Stark Industries.

BUT It's not visible in any frame of the film with the suit.

How did Falcon get his suit in MCU?

In the Marvel comic books he and Black Panther built the suit together using Wakandan technology. In the MCU he was an officer in the U.S. Air Force and part of a secret project that tested the suits in the field. The suit was a prototype flying suit made by the U.S. military.

Is Falcon new suit made of vibranium?

The newer wings from Wakanda are made of Vibranium, making them as indestructible as Captain America's shield.

Is Falcon suit possible?

Originally Answered: Do you think it is possible to build something like Falcon's winged suit thing from the MCU series, or is it impossible? Absolutely impossible. At our current tech level, we have nothing that could possibly have the thrust to fly a human around while simultaneously being the size of a backpack.
