For those who don't know, Steve Rogers (AKA the original Captain America) was de-powered last year and turned into an old man. His sidekick Sam Wilson (FKA the Falcon) ended up assuming Captain America's identity.
For years, Wilson has shared a psychic link with a pet falcon known as Redwing. Redwing joined the Pet Avengers. But now it looks like Redwing is pushing up daisies due to a run-in with the World War II villain Baron Blood.
It's possible that Redwing isn't dead. Maybe Baron Blood just stunned him. It's also possible that Redwing will come back from the dead thanks to Baron Blood's vampiric nature. Which might be interesting since I've never heard of a vampiric bird before.
Regardless, this is a sad week for the Pet Avengers.
RIP Redwing.
