Is Falcon Good For ANYTHING?

Honestly I have no idea I know he's garbage, but there has to be at least ONE use besides arena.

How I know it! Ask those ppl who mistaken him as Blade when bringing to AQ or AW, or even ranking him up thinking he is Blade!!
Falcon is THAT GOO!!!!
I cried that day.
I've lost count of the times falcon ended up in an arena team instead of AV. It would be worse if I had blade as well.
And yes, I need glasses rather than a sensitivity course.
They. Need to upgrade his pellet gun to bullets.
LOL personally I do have Falcon as 5*, and Rhino as 5* too, and my 5* Rhino is at R2, honestly I like my Rhino better, not talking about AWD, but actually talking about attack, coz his unblockable when dash forward is actually handy, and it is fun to see his fat Rhino jumping around and being so agile
So you can build a team around him; if you like the Avengers.
On the other hand, as a champion, his base stats are actually decent; and he has a reliable if not inspiring bleed. You can also use him to shut down ability accuracy more reliably than any other champion*; he just can't keep it up for the entire fight. But if you really need someone to get around a predictable evasion, arc overload, Physical Resistance or an Invulnerability buff (hello, Hela!), he's your guy.
For fighting champions who have a strong finishing ability like Punisher, Hela, Hulk, War Machine, he's got value.
His bleed is actually decent damage per tick, but doesn't last long (so overall damage isn't high at standard). However, as a short intense bleed, it will benefit from Deep Wounds more than Electra's slower bleed effect.
*There are other champions who might be better at some things - but Electra only reduces ability accuracy whilst you're bleeding or broken; Crossbones needs to keep his Furies up; Kingpin only gets -45%, Magneto only works if you're metal, Blade only according to his synergies. Black Widow is more reliable, but tops out at 70%. All champions who reduce ability accuracy have limitations to stop them getting overpowered. That's why BW was nerfed back in 12.0. Falcons lock-on is at least under your control, even if it can't last the whole fight. Fight intelligently, and just use it when you need to. Twelve seconds should be enough to turn the fight in your favour!
So, whilst I'm not going to suggest you wouldn't be better off with Blade, if you do pull Falcon as a five star champion try to recognise that you could have done much worse; even if he's primarily just a member of the team.
Only helpful if he can hit hard enough to do more than 1% damage to begin with.
But there is something he is useful for that I'm surprised no one else brought up yet. Surprisingly, he is a very effective Magik counter. Once locked on, she is unable to trigger limbo via her signature ability.
In the early days of playing my second account, he was one of my earliest 4* dupes. I ended up bringing him to war (along with Guilly and Cap WWII) for lack of better options and even at 4/40, he was able to take out 4/55 Magik without much issue (depending on the nodes, of course).
This ability is also super helpful if your roster isn't very big and you are working toward an infinite streak. Sometimes they'll throw a Magik in the "hard rounds", which can be difficult for most 3/30 and 4/40 champs if you're not prepared, but Falcon was cruising through those fights with a lot of health remaining.
As others have said, he's great for evasion champs as well. He's got class advantage against Spidey and can completely shut down evade. He can also shut down Nightcrawler's or Stark Spidey's evade. And when he's locked on, Falcon can hit Stark Spidey with specials without having the knock out the AI first.
So again, not a great champ. But if you've got a small roster, he does have some very specific uses that can help you clear some content that you wouldn't otherwise be able to clear.
It's a ten second lock-on; twelve if Awakened, and fourteen against science.
How much damage can you do in fourteen seconds?
Thor Ragnarok is actually alright with synergies and his PI is the best in the game
