How does Sam Wilson's approach to being Captain America differ from how Steve Rogers did it? Sam is much more proactive on political issues, and this post explores why.

While Steve Rogers is Marvel's original Captain America, Sam Wilson is the only character to hold the title officially in the MCU in the present day.

While stopping a conflict between the United States and Japan at Celestial Island, Sam Wilson/Captain America (Anthony Mackie) watches his protege, Joaquin Torres/Falcon (Danny Ramirez), get shot out of the air. He lands in the Indian Ocean, and luckily, a search team finds him.
