Characters
The daughter of former X-Men member Sean Cassidy, a.k.a. Banshee, and Maeve Rourke, Theresa Rourke was raised by her first cousin once removed, mutant terrorist Thomas Cassidy, a.k.a. Black Tom.
Vowing to serve his country any way he could, young Steve Rogers took the super soldier serum to become America's one-man army. Fighting for the red, white and blue for over 60 years, Captain America is the living, breathing symbol of freedom and liberty.
Abandoned by his mother, Matt Murdock was raised by his father, boxer "Battling Jack" Murdock, in Hell's Kitchen. Realizing that rules were needed to prevent people from behaving badly, young Matt decided to study law; however, when he saved a man from an oncoming truck, it spilled a radioactive cargo that rendered Matt blind while enhancing his remaining senses. Under the harsh tutelage of blind martial arts master Stick, Matt mastered his heightened senses and became a formidable fighter.
With a mental connection to all birds and a suit that gives him wings to fly, The Falcon has been both the partner to Captain America and an Avenger himself. Whether as a super hero or in his secret identity of social worker Sam Wilson, The Falcon dedicates his life to standing up for others.
Wounded, captured and forced to build a weapon by his enemies, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark instead created an advanced suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Now with a new outlook on life, Tony uses his money and intelligence to make the world a safer, better place as Iron Man.
