The airman who was Sam Wilson's contact on the ground, and then his successor in the air.
Joaquin Torres is a member of the United States Air Force and Sam Wilson’s best friend, born in Mexico and raised in Miami from the age of six. Danny Ramirez plays him. He lived through the five years of the Blip and is the one who tells Wilson what he missed. In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier he brings Wilson intelligence on the Flag Smashers, meets Bucky Barnes, and, when Wilson takes on the mantle of Captain America, is given the Falcon’s wingsuit and the name that goes with it.
Brave New World puts him in the air. He and Wilson intercept an illegal sale of adamantium in Oaxaca, and as a reward Wilson introduces him to Isaiah Bradley. When President Ross is attacked at the White House, the two of them investigate a hidden site in West Virginia called Camp Echo One, and discover that Samuel Sterns had used mind control on Bradley. At Celestial Island in the Indian Ocean they stop two rogue pilots from firing on the Japanese fleet and starting a war.
Minor spoiler
He is badly injured at Celestial Island. While he is recovering, Wilson asks him to join the Avengers.
