Redwing
In Rio de Janeiro, Sam Wilson encounters a red feathered falcon that he names Redwing. The Nazi Red Skull uses the Cosmic Cube to connect Sam and Redwing by a mental link. Wilson and Redwing then become allies of Captain America.
When Sam Wilson became the new Captain America, Redwing remained at his side. During Wilson's first mission as Cap, Redwing helped his friend fight some Hydra agent in the Ecuador basement. (All-New Captain America v1 #1)
Using the Infinite Elevator, Wilson and Redwing went to France to stop Zemo's failsafe which was a bomb made of the sterilisation plague that was in the body of Baron Blood. Redwing was sent to scout the city for the villain but he was found by Baron Blood who captured the bird and fed on him leaving the eagle seemingly for dead. (All-New Captain America v1 #5)
After taking Redwing captive, the scientist Karl Malus came to use the bird's DNA in an experiment on Joaquin Torres. Afterwards, Claire Temple told Captain America Sam Wilson that Redwing had retained some vampiric traits which was why Torres mutations had not been reverted. (Captain America: Sam Wilson v1 #4)
