Captain America's Shield

Item from Marvel Comics by Marvel Entertainment

A concave disc of vibranium-steel alloy, created by an unreproducible accident during World War II. The most iconic defensive weapon in the Marvel Universe and a symbol of everything Steve Rogers stands for.

Also known as: the shield, Cap's shield, the vibranium shield

What They Know

• The shield's vibranium-steel alloy was created by accident and has never been successfully replicated
• Vibranium absorbs kinetic energy, making the shield effectively indestructible under normal conditions
• Rogers' ability to calculate ricochet trajectories for the thrown shield suggests enhanced spatial cognition from the Super-Soldier Serum
• The shield has been wielded by others during periods when Rogers was absent — Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson both carried it
• Wakandan vibranium is the shield's primary component, creating a link between Captain America and Wakanda that predates their alliance
