Falcon was totally serious about punching her in the face. He totally was, and it was nice to see that Samus seemed to be heeding his warning and getting ready for a snowy spar. In the snow.

Though Samus' Powersuit could easily overwhelm him, the Captain also knew he didn't have to hold back or worry about hurting her while she was in it. She was also slower and infinitely less flexible. He could work with that.

First, however, he would make do with his promise. She was inviting a punch, now she was going to get one. A flaming one. RIGHT TO THE FACE.
