In the unlikely event that you accumulate much more blue AP than you need for Falcon over the course of a match, you have a useful outlet. Thor, of course, just sits and spams his yellow and green happily. As an added bonus, he can even tank red for Psylocke. I would probably go 5/3/5 Falcon for this build, but if I ever max Falcon, I'm going to open a another slot for a second copy of him to go 3/5/5. A PvP Falcon and a PvE Falcon. There's not much reason to use a character simply for the sake of using the character. Lazy Thor is immensely powerful by himself and really doesn't benefit from any kind of special tiles since all his moves already do crazy damage, making contribution from strike tiles relatively little. The Punisher is still strictly stronger than Psylocke even if Falcon very slightly favors Psylocke. However it won't really matter until you have 15 red AP for 2 strike tiles. 1 strike tile + 1 attack tile is no better than just boosting 3 of Punisher's strike tiles since The Punisher starts out with more powerful strike tiles. I don't really see Falcon fitting a general all purpose team. About the best you can do is pair him up with The Punisher and it might still be lacking somewhere. However he will be strong against certain characters since he can remove special tiles, so he might make sense to sub in when you fight someone like The Punisher or Captain America.

Yeah don't forget Steve Rogers has blue protect tiles as well as yellow ones, so yeah Falcon & Capn in a team with one other (Thor, OBW, IM40) or go with some other combination for fun.

Throw in a LT and you've got a nice rainbow team in place. I'm not as convinced about his synergies with BP. The problem I see is that BP uses yellow/blue abilities to make the tiles. If you think about how a game would play out, lets say you wanted to use falcon to boost BPs strike tiles, which is the main application I see here since its generally better to boost strike tiles than it is defense tiles. This means that you need to make 3 yellow matches to get enough yellow for BPs tiles since you want strike tiles out ASAP, but that leads to 3 wasted Falcon triggers. This also means that you probably exhausted the board of most yellow matches, meaning that afterwards you would have a more difficult time finding yellows to boost the strike tiles. BPs blue doesn't seem that great either due to the same reasoning as Cap's blue: it takes too long to get going (2 turns after you get 9AP for a single, weak def tile and you need to wait 6 turns before you have 3 tiles to maximize Falcon's yellow) and boost defense tiles isn't necessarily useful since all it would be doing is preventing ability damage. Matching blues also makes it harder to get redwing online, but thats probably less of an issue since you only need 6 blue tiles on board to get him working in later levels. Falcon definitely feels harder to evaluate than most characters because he actually doesn't work that well with any character that creates special tiles. He works best when the character produces 3+ offensive tiles (so boosting them will always have a good impact on the game) for relatively cheap AP costs that aren't yellow. He also wants a yellow user that can use the residual yellow AP gained from matching yellow for his passive. Phew, so many requirements for the character: I like it .

Of course, Falcon removes the enemy strike tiles you created. My suggested team would be Patch Wolverine, Falcon, and The Hood. The Hood is great utility (despite being glass) because of his AP steal. He can use his black to drop the countdown on Redwing, or he can use his Yellow to destroy the Redwing tile AND gather more AP.
