Judging by the tension between Sam and Sarah, there's more to the death of Falcon's father than has been disclosed so far. With no sign of the family's mother, she too could've followed the source material and fallen victim to a fatal street attack. However, Sarah and Sam's argument does reveal that their father is already dead in the MCU, and although Falcon & Winter Soldier opts against providing a cause of death, his violent comic ending could still be used. Sam and his sister have since inherited the boat, but keeping the business alive throughout the Blip (and without her brother) has been a near-impossible job for Sarah, who's ready to sell up, much to Sam's frustration.

Captain America's arch-nemesis brainwashed Sam Wilson and gave him bird-based superpowers in hopes of creating a soldier to bring down Steve Rogers but, fortunately, Cap was able to break the illusion and a lifelong partnership was forged. As a young man, Sam was left with little choice but to turn to crime as a means of making money, becoming the kind of gangster he always loathed, but this darker chapter in Falcon's backstory was later retconned as a ruse by Red Skull. Marvel's comic continuity changes how old Sam was when these tragedies occurred, but the character was a teenager at most, and the deaths affected him deeply. Sam's father was a member of the church, killed trying to prevent gang violence, while his mother was murdered by a mugger two years later. Hailing from Harlem, New York, young Sam actually has more in common with DC's Batman than Captain America. Sam Wilson's original background will be almost unrecognizable to MCU fans.
