falcon is lowkey more powerful than Captain America Steve Rodger with his tech/ wing's/weapon than Steve is with his super soldier serum & shield
Captain America/ Steve Rodger is the main character so obviously he gets to do more " cool stuff " if Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers had switched skill/power set people would be asking how can a guy on steroid with just a shield replace all the weapon's and gadgets and fire power Steve had he can't fly he just run's as fast as Usain Bolt
unused storyboard scene of Sam taking out a giant leviathan Steve Rodger could never
killed a giant Chitari space Gorilla
has enough fire power to take out one of those take out of those giant rolling death wheels tanks
falcon effortlessly killing outriders
mean while Steve out here getting overwhelmed gang raped
Even if he wasn't more powerful, from a visual perspective, it just looks cooler to me than a dude with a shield doing a bunch of mma moves.
