re: Captain America: Winter Soldier ***(SPOILERS)***

1. Does Falcon ever get some sort of power, or does he just use those mechanical wings all the time?

2. Will the WS be a good guy down the line?

3. Is it ever explained why the other "heroes" can't come help or are we just supposed to not think about that?

1 - The wings are his power. In the comic, before he got the wings (created for him by the Black Panther if I remember) he was just an athletic guy. Oh, except he has a telephatic connection to his hawk Redwing that was at times expanded to control over all birds or something like that.

2- Yes. In the series, he was Cap's sidekick Bucky in WWII and was believed killed in the drone crash that froze Cap. It was one of the very few comic book "deaths" that was considered permanent because it lasted for decades. Then they retconned it to him having been rescued by the Soviets (and brainwashed I think) and turned into a elite agent/spy/assassin by them. I didn't follow the recent story lines but I think he did indeed become a good guy again.

3 - It's something that always has to be dealt with when there are heroes who are on teams and also have individual books/films. Usually it's just assumed they are involved in their own adventures.
