Captain America's shield is a fictional weapon appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is the primary defensive and offensive piece of equipment used by Captain America, and has go allegorical as a symbol of American culture.

Over the years, Captain America has used several shields of varying composition and design. His original heater shield starting time appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (March 1941), published past Marvel's 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics. The circular shield best associated with the character debuted in the next upshot, Helm America Comics #2.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America'southward shield appears in the live-action films: Helm America: The First Avenger (2011), The Avengers (2012), Captain America: The Wintertime Soldier (2014), Avengers: Historic period of Ultron (2015), Captain America: Civil State of war (2016), and Avengers: Endgame (2019). The shield also appears in the live-action series The Falcon and the Wintertime Soldier (2021).

Abilities [edit]

Physical limerick [edit]

Captain America'south shield is virtually indestructible under normal weather condition.[1] While catholic, magical or godly opponents have broken the shield, the shield has absorbed Hulk's blows, repelled Thor's mystical hammer Mjölnir and deflected Wolverine's adamantium blades without visible impairment. It is composed of proto-adamantium, a never-duplicated combination of vibranium, steel alloy, and an unknown catalyst. This material absorbs kinetic free energy, transferring very little and thus preventing Helm America from feeling recoil or transferred impact forces when blocking attacks. The shield tin can bounciness off of most surfaces, ricocheting multiple times before returning to the thrower.[ citation needed ]

Utilize in combat [edit]

A mutual misconception is that the shield can "magically" return to Captain America.[ citation needed ] The "super-soldier serum" that enhanced Helm America's concrete attributes also improved his mental faculties—such as cognition, perception, remainder, aim, and reflexes—to near genius-level. This allows him to instantly calculate ballistic-physics and predict the probable trajectory of objects in move. This makes him a perfect shot. He can dodge or deflect bullets with his shield without collateral ricochet to civilians, to calculate where or how the shield will bounce and when it volition return to his location, or trip a running person to cause them to autumn into a specific position.[ citation needed ]

Original shield [edit]

In his debut, Helm America (secretly U.S. Ground forces Individual Steve Rogers) is equipped with a heater-way shield fabricated from steel. Afterward complaints by rival comic-book publisher MLJ that the pattern was too similar to that of its ain patriotic hero the Shield,[two] Timely Comics replaced the triangular shield with a disc-shaped i.

While the origin and fate of the original shield were not described in the original comics from the 1940s, the shield's fate was revealed decades later in 2001 through a retconned story. According to the tale, King T'Chaka of Wakanda met Captain America in early 1941 and gave him a sample of vibranium, an alien metal with unique vibration-absorption properties and found only in Wakanda and the Savage Country.[3] The vibranium was used to brand Captain America'south circular shield, and his triangular one was retired.

Captain America received a second triangular shield that he used until given his disc-shaped shield, presented to him by President Franklin Roosevelt.[4] This second triangular shield was kept in storage with Rogers' other personal furnishings after the war. Information technology was recovered at some point afterward Rogers joined the superhero squad the Avengers in The Avengers #4, and was kept at Avengers Mansion. Information technology was destroyed by the supervillain Mr. Hyde during a raid on the mansion by Businesswoman Zemo's Masters of Evil, and subsequently "plucked from time" and restored past Zemo in Thunderbolts #105 (October 2006). The shield (along with other sentimental items thought destroyed) was returned to Helm America. A third triangular shield is kept in the Smithsonian Establishment. Information technology was used by Helm America when he foiled a terrorist attack on the museum itself after the loss of his usual shield; it was and then given to him in gratitude. This shield is destroyed several issues subsequently by a Kree alien warrior.

The shield destroyed by Hyde and restored by Zemo was eventually passed on to Elijah Bradley, the teenage hero known equally the Patriot and leader of the Young Avengers.

Revised history [edit]

In 2010, the history of the original shield was revised. In the limited series Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers, Captain America, Sergeant Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos run across Azzari (grandfather of T'Challa)—the Black Panther and king of Wakanda during Earth War II. Aided past Wakandan military forces, they repel a series of Nazi attacks led by the Red Skull and Baron Strucker. During the battle, the Ruby Skull (wearing a battle-accommodate) crushes the triangular shield, and Captain America uses a circular vibranium shield provided by T'Chaka to incapacitate the Skull. The weapon serves every bit the inspiration for the circular shield that the super-soldier begins using upon his return to America, and the meet marks the outset of friendly relations between the United States and Wakanda.[5]

Circular shield [edit]

Captain America vol. 5, #5 (May 2005). Cover fine art by Steve Epting

The circular shield most associated with Captain America fabricated its debut in Captain America Comics #2 (Apr 1941). An indestructible concavo-convex metallic disc approximately 2.5 feet (0.76 one thousand) in diameter, weighing 12 pounds (v.4 kg), it has remained Captain America'south most abiding shield over the decades.

In Helm America #255 (March 1981), it is established that the shield was presented to Rogers by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.[6] The shield is created by fictional American metallurgist Myron MacLain, who had been deputed by the United states of america government to create an indestructible armor material to assist the war effort. MacLain experiments with vibranium.[iii]

During ane of his experiments to fuse vibranium with an experimental steel alloy,[7] MacLain falls asleep and awakens to find that the resulting alloy had set in a tank hatch mold. It was then painted to get Captain America'due south symbol. MacLain would later on attempt to recreate the shield's metal to no avail, his experiments instead eventually yielding the super-metal adamantium.[8] [9]

Rogers' shield is more durable than regular adamantium and is essentially indestructible. The vibranium grants the shield unusual backdrop, assuasive it to absorb all of the kinetic impact and vibrations from any blows that the shield receives without injuring Rogers in the process. The vibranium is as well a gene in the way Rogers throws his shield: he frequently uses it to ricochet and strike multiple opponents or stationary objects with little loss of speed after each impact.[ citation needed ]

Before long later his revival from suspended animation and rescue by the Avengers, Rogers briefly experimented with Stark'south modification of the shield which included a magnetic mechanism that enabled Rogers to hold the shield through a corresponding magnetic mechanism attached to his left glove, every bit well equally communications equipment. These modifications allowed Rogers to launch the shield from his glove and control it mid-flight.[10] However, Rogers decided to have those modifications removed and restored the property straps since he found that he preferred to physically throw the shield himself and the electronic equipment spoiled the shield'due south balance to enable him to practise that finer.[11]

After Rogers' death, South.H.I.Due east.Fifty.D. takes over custody of the shield, with ane replica on display in a museum, and another replica buried with Rogers. The real one is kept by S.H.I.E.L.D. to exist used by the new Captain America, whenever they deem it appropriate to railroad train a new 1. After failing to notice a Due south.H.I.East.L.D. agent capable of throwing it properly, Stark offers the shield to Clint Barton (known at that time every bit Ronin), who does manage to throw it. During his offset outing every bit Captain America, Barton encounters the Young Avengers and scolds Kate Bishop for using the Hawkeye name. She tells him that the "Real Cap" gave her that name in laurels of his at the time dead friend. This leads Barton to refuse to exist Captain America.[12] The shield is later stolen by the Winter Soldier, who did non want anyone else to carry the shield. Inevitably, in an effort to honor Rogers' last wishes, Stark offers to allow the Wintertime Soldier (Bucky Barnes) keep the shield, and to serve as the new Helm America. Bucky accepts. This offering is made "off the books", and but the ii of them, the Black Widow, and the Falcon, are aware of the situation.[13]

Although Bucky attempted to render the shield to Rogers after his resurrection, Rogers permit Bucky proceed it as he felt that he could practice more than skilful in his new part as Commander Steve Rogers rather than Helm America. Rogers used a photonic shield in its identify when circumstances called for him to go into combat. He reclaimed the shield for good after Bucky was evidently killed during the Fearfulness Itself event— Bucky really going clandestine after his past as the Winter Soldier was exposed— that also resulted in the shield being broken and reassembled by Asgardian blacksmiths, who add together some of the mystical metal Uru to the reconstructed shield, making it even stronger than before, although it is left with a noticeable scar that Rogers decided to keep to requite the shield character.[xiv] This premise was not observed in subsequent storylines, or considered canon, as artists have non continued depicting the shield with the scar.[15]

JLA/Avengers [edit]

In the 2003-2004 Marvel Comics/DC Comics inter-company crossover limited series JLA/Avengers, Superman is given the shield by Helm America to wield in battle in the last confrontation with Krona, and is impressed with its might. When he asks where he could get one only similar it while battling foes, Thor replies, "Enjoy information technology while m canst, Superman. In that location is none other similar information technology in all the worlds". Throughout the final battle, the shield changes forms betwixt the pointed shield and the circular shield due to various temporal ripples caused past Krona'south equipment, and Superman even loses the shield altogether at 1 point when he morphs into his energy class while Cap reacquires the photonic shield, although the metallic shield reappears on Superman's arm after he morphs back into his regular class.

Devastation of the shield [edit]

Over fourth dimension the shield has been damaged or destroyed several times within the confines of the Earth-616 continuity:

  • In The Avengers #215–216, the Molecule Man used his total control over matter to disintegrate the shield, along with Thor's hammer, Iron Man's armor, and the Silver Surfer'south board. After he does then, he comments that the board's molecules are "weird", and while in that location are "odd forces interweaving" among the hammer's molecules, the shield is "weirdest of all". He later reassembles these items, with the exception of the armor, as the electronic circuits are too complicated for him to understand at that time.[16]
  • During the 1984-1985 Hugger-mugger Wars express serial, the shield is partially destroyed by Doctor Doom, who has stolen the power of the godlike being known every bit the Beyonder. Even broken, Rogers is able to wield what is left as an constructive weapon, with the shield largely retaining its balance when thrown. When the Beyonder reclaims its power, the heroes are temporarily granted the ability to realize their wishes. Rogers uses this to reconstruct the shield.[17]
  • During the 1991 miniseries The Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos, who possesses nigh-omnipotence via the Infinity Gauntlet, shatters the shield with a blow of his fist while in combat with Captain America. The shield is soon restored past Thanos' alleged granddaughter, Nebula, when she obtains the Gauntlet and uses it to undo the events of Thanos's temporary godhood, resulting in her erasing the death and destruction that Thanos had caused over the previous 24 hours.[18]
  • Due to a stray molecule being out of identify when Rogers reconstructed the shield using the Beyonder's residual power, a vibranium "cancer" was introduced to the shield, spreading with each subsequent bear upon until it finally shattered after information technology was retrieved from the bottom of the ocean (Rogers having lost the shield during a previous mission until Namor retrieved it). Learning that the vibranium cancer could only be "cured" with the destruction of the shield, Rogers took the shield to the primary vibranium deposit in Wakanda then that he could apply a device created by Tony Stark to halt the 'cancer' before it could contaminate the Wakandan vibranium and destroy the world, only to exist intercepted by the villain Klaw, who sought to absorb the ability of the "cancer" and become stronger. Fortunately, the amount of energy Klaw had absorbed was released when he struck the shattered shield with full force after Rogers picked it up on reflex, resulting in Klaw unintentionally restoring the shield to its original state, realigning its molecules and destroying the cancer.[xix]
  • In Avengers Vol. 3 #63 (March 2003), an enraged Thor, wielding the Odinforce, scrapes the shield. Thor later repairs it.[20]
  • During the 2011 miniseries Fear Itself, the Snake, the Asgardian god of fear and brother to Odin, breaks information technology in one-half with his bare hands.[21] After the boxing, the shield is repaired by Asgardian dwarves and Tony Stark with added Asgardian uru-infused enhancements and Stark's ain technology to arrive stronger, though a scar is left, and the dwarves are unable to repair information technology. Stark offers a solution to the scar, just Rogers declines, saying that it "gave the old girl a little bit of character". This premise was not observed in subsequent storylines, which did not depict the shield with the scar.

Other shields [edit]

  • While Rogers was comatose in suspended blitheness, three other men used the identity of Captain America, all using steel replicas of the discus shield. The 1950s Captain America was placed in suspended animation afterward becoming mentally unstable. Past the fourth dimension he was revived years later, Rogers had returned. When the two clashed, the 1950s Captain America'due south shield was broken.[ book & upshot needed ]
  • In the 1980s, in a story written by Mark Gruenwald, Rogers chose to resign his identity rather than submit to the orders of the U.s.a. government and took the alias of "The Captain" instead. During this period, the role of Captain America was assumed past John Walker, the old Super-Patriot, who used both the costume and the indestructible shield.[22] In his new identity of "The Captain", Rogers initially used a pure adamantium shield provided by Tony Stark, merely a falling out between the two as a result of the "Armor Wars" storyline led Rogers to return information technology. He so began to utilise a pure vibranium shield provided by the Black Panther. When Rogers returned to his Captain America identity, Walker became the U.S. Agent and returned the shield to him. Walker would keep to have his ain array of different shields over the years, the commencement of which appeared to be the last vibranium shield Rogers was using as the Helm. The U.S. Agent used shields with an eagle motif and one in the shape of a star, also as a photonic energy shield.[ volume & issue needed ]
  • At one indicate, when Rogers was exiled from the United States and was briefly unable to employ his shield, Sharon Carter provided him with a photonic energy shield designed to mimic a vibranium matrix. This shield was likewise able to turn into an energy staff that could be used as a weapon.[ book & issue needed ]
  • During the time when the shield was lost in the Atlantic, Rogers tried using a pure adamantium shield, but was unable to get used to the balance. He also tried fighting without a shield merely as well found information technology awkward. While up against HYDRA agents in the Smithsonian, he picked up the triangular shield that was being exhibited there and used it for a time earlier it was crushed by a Kree warrior.[ volume & outcome needed ]
  • Sharon Carter side by side provided him with some other photonic shield, but one whose shape could exist controlled to morph the energy field into a wider force field, a bo staff or even fire a project of the shield. While he enjoyed the versatility, Rogers noticed a number of drawbacks, especially its inability to ricochet. Rogers gave one of the energy shield gloves to a freedom fighter in an oppressive future he traveled to and received a replacement from S.H.I.E.L.D. when he got back to his own fourth dimension. The photonic shield was eventually lost again in a confrontation with Ultron when Hank Pym's use of vibranium resulted in the destruction of the generator that created the shield,[23] leading to Rogers finally reacquiring his original shield.[ volume & event needed ]
  • In Secret Avengers, he uses a new energy shield which could be generated on either arm, or both, and was able to be thrown and ricochet off surfaces to hitting targets before information technology dissipates, preventing enemies from using it against him. A new shield would be generated moments later. Moon Knight, who had acquired a copy of the engineering science, had it described to him as a "zero signal energy shield".[24]
  • In Captain America: Steve Rogers, Steve wields a new version of the triangular shield that can deploy an free energy blade on its pointy stop and can exist divided in 2, assuasive him to use both halves in combat.[25]

Made of Vibranium

Captain America's shield is a recurring item throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. Like its comic book counterpart, it is circular, relatively lightweight, and made of the nearly indestructible Wakandan metal, vibranium. It is created by Howard Stark and given to Steve Rogers during World War Ii. Within the MCU, the shield is seen as a symbol of Captain America's forcefulness and legacy.[26]

Appearances [edit]

  • In Iron Homo, a partially completed replica of the shield appears when Pepper Potts watches Tony Stark trying to remove his damaged armor. Stark subsequently used the alloy of a paradigm made past his father to create his Iron Man armor.[27]
  • In Atomic number 26 Man ii, Stark'south replica of the shield is noticed by Phil Coulson and it is afterwards used to hold the appliance that allows Stark to detect a new element, 'badassium'.
  • In Helm America: The Commencement Avenger, the shield (along with Rogers himself) is discovered by S.H.I.E.50.D. agents in the Arctic within a crashed, frozen aircraft. During World War Two, Steve Rogers uses an ornamental version of the triangular shield during a musical tour with the USO promoting war bonds, which he then uses in his first combat mission and is rendered useless after Red Skull punches a big dent in information technology. He later notices an unadorned circular shield among Howard Stark'due south proposed weapons, which Stark says is made of a rare metal called Vibranium that is much stronger and one-tertiary lighter than steel. Although Stark says information technology is a prototype, Rogers decides to use it after it stops .45 caliber bullets shot at it by Peggy Carter. It is painted into the familiar blood-red, white and blue pattern. Rogers uses the shield throughout the state of war. It protects Rogers from non only standard weapons, but besides the energy-based weapons Hydra uses that are powered past the Tesseract. Rogers also uses the shield as an offensive weapon and becomes highly skilled in accurately throwing, deflecting, and retrieving it. Rogers has the shield with him when he is frozen in 1945 and it remains with him after he is thawed in 2011.
  • In The Avengers, Rogers uses the shield while fighting confronting Loki and is able to deflect an energy blast from his Mind Stone-powered scepter, which knocks Loki downwards. The shield too guards Rogers from Thor's hammer Mjolnir, and the subsequent shockwave created when the two weapons collide causes both Thor and Rogers to fall to the ground and decimates nearby leaf. He also uses the shield during the battle against the Chitauri in New York City, and Stark deflects his energy beams off information technology to amplify their power.
  • In Fe Man three, Trevor Slattery is seen with a tattoo depicting the shield on the dorsum of his neck.
  • In Thor: The Dark World, Loki'south illusion impersonating Rogers also depicts a recreation of his shield.
  • In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Rogers uses his shield while fighting against Georges Batroc and his men. It protects both him and Natasha Romanoff from a high powered explosive. He afterward uses it to crash through walls in an part building while chasing the Winter Soldier. When Rogers throws information technology at the Winter Soldier, he uses his metal arm to catch and throw the shield back, much to Rogers' surprise. Rogers uses the shield to blot some of the touch after he jumps from the Triskelion building and lands unharmed hundreds of feet below. He too uses it to take down a Quinjet and it protects him and Romanoff against a ballistic missile. He later uses information technology in confrontations against the Wintertime Soldier, where information technology counters the latter's metal arm and also takes a direct hitting from a grenade launcher without damage.
  • In Avengers: Age of Ultron, the handles of the shield are outfitted with magnetic elements, assuasive Rogers to meliorate control the shield and call it back to his gauntlets. Rogers throws and calls information technology back to him while riding his motorbike into battle. He and Thor combine the shield and Mjolnir to create massive shockwaves capable of destroying Hydra tanks. During Ultron'south initial attack, Clint Barton accurately throws the shield to Rogers who uses information technology to completely obliterate an Ultron sentry. He continues to apply information technology in combat throughout against Ultron, his sentries, and Pietro Maximoff, the latter of which he knocks unconscious with it. Ultron laments that the shield, which he calls a "frisbee", is an example of homo foolishness given the versatility of the vibranium it is made of. During his confrontation with Ultron, Rogers loses the shield when it falls off a truck only information technology is retrieved by Natasha Romanoff and returns it to Rogers. The shield guards against and reflects Ultron's energy beams and pierces Ultron's shoulder when Rogers kicks it at him. He later throws the shield to Romanoff during the Battle of Sokovia, and she uses it to defend herself against Ultron'due south sentries.
  • In Captain America: Civil State of war, Rogers uses the shield throughout. During his fight with Brock Rumlow, he throws the shield loftier into the air to protect himself and nearby civilians after an explosive device is thrown and sticks to it. He uses the shield as he attempts to protect Barnes from constabulary enforcement in Bucharest. When he confronts T'Challa, the shield is scratched by T'Challa's vibranium claws. The United Nations seizes the shield temporarily until it is stolen and returned to Rogers by Sharon Carter. After, the shield is temporarily stolen past Peter Parker but quickly returned to Rogers past Scott Lang. He uses the shield in confrontations with Parker, T'Challa, James Rhodes, and Stark at an airport in Frg. Barnes uses the shield to attack Rhodes and Stark equally well. During his final confrontation with Stark, Rogers uses it to disable some of his armor's flight capability, deflect Stark'south energy beams, and finally in combination with Barnes to overwhelm Stark. After he uses the shield to destroy Stark's arc reactor and disable the Iron Homo armor, he leaves it with Stark later on he says it belongs to his male parent, Howard, and that Rogers does not deserve information technology.
  • In Spider-Man: Homecoming, video footage captured past Spider-Human during the events of Civil State of war, depicting the title character stealing the shield from Rogers, is shown.
  • In Avengers: Endgame, Stark reunites Rogers with his shield, acting equally a gesture of reconciliation betwixt the two (during Avengers: Infinity War Rogers used two diamond-shaped vibranium shields provided past T'Challa in the boxing confronting Thanos's forces in Wakanda). Rogers takes the shield with him when he travels via the Quantum Realm to an alternate 2012 timeline, where he faces an alternate version of himself who mistakes him for Loki in disguise, leading to the two versions to apply their shields to fight each other. Later, during the battle with an alternate Thanos, Rogers proves worthy of using Thor'southward hammer Mjolnir, and combines Mjolnir with his shield for combination attacks. However, the shield is fractured by Thanos' double edged sword, witha fractured third of it being broken off by Thanos's assail. Post-obit the Avengers' victory, an elderly Rogers, returning from an alternating timeline, bequeaths a new alternate shield, now fully repaired and with a slight design change to the star in the heart,[28] to Sam Wilson.
  • In the alive-action series The Falcon and the Wintertime Soldier, Wilson gives the shield to the US government to be placed in the Smithsonian museum exhibit defended to Rogers. The government then gives the shield to John Walker, who they name every bit the new Helm America. Walker uses the shield in combat throughout the series and proves proficient in using it. Karli Morgenthau, leader of the Flag Smashers, calls the shield a "symbol of a foretime era" and believes it should be destroyed. During a confrontation with the Dora Milaje, Walker briefly loses the shield which is handled with expertise by one of the warriors, although Ayo orders it returned to Walker. After Walker injects himself with the Super Soldier Serum and witnesses his partner Lemar Hoskins killed past Morgenthau, he murders another Flag Smasher with the shield while a horrified crowd watches and records him, and with the shield partially bloodstained. Post-obit this, the shield is recovered by Wilson and Barnes, and Wilson trains in condign skillful with it. Wilson, taking on the Captain America mantle, uses the shield to defeat the Flag Smashers in New York Urban center.[29]
  • In Eternals, the triangular shield used by Rogers in his USO shows is shown to be in the possession of Kingo.[thirty]
  • Alternating versions of the shield appears in the Disney+ blithe series What If...?.
    • An alternate version of the shield is used by Peggy Carter in "What If... Helm Carter Were the Outset Avenger?". Afterward she is enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum and becomes Captain Carter, Howard Stark gifts her the shield with a U.k.-fashion pattern as opposed to the original American one. She uses the shield in combat throughout the episode.
    • An alternate version of the shield appears in "What If... T'Challa Became a Star-Lord?" as part of the Collector'southward collection on Knowhere.[31]

Concept and development [edit]

In product for Captain America: The Beginning Avenger, the shield, which is depicted as both a defensive tool and a weapon, came in four types: metallic, fiberglass, rubber, and estimator graphics (CG).[32] Prop principal Barry Gibbs specified that "We had the 'hero shield,' which was made of aluminum, for our dazzler shots [and] close-up piece of work. We and then created a lighter shield that was aluminum-faced with a fiberglass back, for use on a daily basis. ... And then nosotros had a stunt shield made of polyurethane, which is sort of a constructed rubber ... and nosotros made an ultrasoft 1 nosotros put on [Evans'] back, then that if there were an accident, it wouldn't injure him."[33] Visual furnishings supervisor Christopher Townsend said Evans "would practice swinging the practical shield so he knew the arc and the speed at which he should motility. We would take the shield from him and shoot the scene with him miming it. Then nosotros would add in a CG shield".[32]

The premise of The Falcon and the Wintertime Soldier revolves around a moment in the picture Avengers: Endgame (2019) which depicts Steve Rogers bequeathing the shield and the mantle of Helm America to his friend Sam Wilson.[34] [35] Marvel Studios master executive Kevin Feige said this was intended to be a "classic passing of the torch from one hero to another", but when Curiosity Studios got the opportunity to make telly series for Disney+ they decided to expand this into an entire story about Wilson, who is a Black man, becoming Captain America, with the shield serving every bit a symbol for the superhero title. Mackie said the series would explore Wilson's backstory and treat him as a "regular guy" in a world of superheroes,[36] while "walk[ing] the line of who is going to take up the [Captain America] shield" after Endgame.[37]

Other versions [edit]

  • In the 1998-1999 time travel mini-series Avengers Forever, diverse future and alternate versions of Captain America are shown with many different variations of the shield.[38]
  • In the Curiosity manga stories, Captain America uses a photonic shield before his decease in Volumes 1 and two, and his bodyguards use shields of metal. The shield also appears in the Rings of Fate mini-series, having been acquired by Ballad Danvers afterwards Elektra stole information technology from Avengers Mansion when she uses the costume of Helm America.
  • Captain Mexical is an alternate world version of Helm America from a dimension where the Aztec empire never fell. He is kept in the mainstream Marvel universe. His shield is used by Machine Man as a weapon during a zombie incursion; Mexical himself is slain.[39]
  • Ultimate Captain America uses a shield of pure Vibranium, although that metal may not possess the aforementioned properties in the Ultimate Curiosity universe as information technology does in the mainstream Marvel Universe.[40] The shield was destroyed when Gregory Stark smashed it with Thor'due south hammer, though Captain America would wield another later.[41]
    • In Ultimate Nightmare, Ultimate Captain America encounters his Russian analogue, who has been driven mad due to existence trapped in an surreptitious complex for many years. He has created a "replica" of the shield, which turns out to be fabricated out of scrap metal and human remains and grafted straight onto his forearm, and which proves far less powerful than Captain America'southward ain shield.[42]

In other media [edit]

Idiot box [edit]

  • In the 1970s Helm America Telly movies, Steve Rogers is given a transparent plexiglass shield painted with concentric stripes (cherry-red and clear transparent) and a fundamental star. The shield was designed to act every bit the windscreen for his motorcycle, but could be detached and used in its traditional offensive / defensive role when Rogers goes on human foot. Furthermore, the shield can patently return to Rogers in a smooth arc when thrown without needing to exist ricocheted and with plenty force to knock a man down in the return path.
  • In 2003, the company Factory X released a line of licensed prop replicas of items from the Marvel Universe. An aluminum replica of Captain America's shield was among their initial line up of props, and was express to a production of 2,525 pieces.
  • In the closing of the March 12, 2007 episode of The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert read a letter from Joe Quesada in response to Colbert's earlier comments toward Captain America. He was so presented with what was said to exist Captain America's indestructible shield, reportedly willed to Colbert in the event of Cap's "decease". The shield was originally credited to be one of the Factory X replicas, only this is not the case. The shield given to Colbert was originally acquired by the long-time writer and editor (and late) Mark Gruenwald, who either deputed it or received it every bit a gift. It somewhen found its way into the hands of Curiosity editor Tom Brevoort, and was kept in his part until beingness passed on to Colbert. In a pre-evidence conversation with a studio audience, Colbert, speaking out of character, said that when his wife saw the shield and the accompanying note, she started crying. He confessed he was bemused by her reaction to a fictional character sending a prop shield to a fictional version of himself. The shield was put on display hanging on the wall along with other trophies on The Colbert Report prepare for every episode subsequently. After The Colbert Report ended, the shield was moved to the ready of Colbert's next talk show, The Late Testify with Stephen Colbert where it has been on display since.
  • In the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes episode "A Day Unlike Any Other", Loki uses his magic to shatter Captain America's shield while taunting him. In the episode "Behold... The Vision!", Captain America's shield is restored by the Black Panther and scientists in Wakanda using the vibranium machine that fused the pieces back together.
  • The adamantium-vibranium alloy version of the shield becomes the main plot device for the story in the Ultimate Spider-Man episode "Non a Toy".

Moving-picture show [edit]

  • In the 1990 live-action movie Captain America, Steve Rogers/Captain America uses a metal shield of similar design.
  • In the blithe movie Ultimate Avengers, based loosely on The Ultimates, Helm America uses a shield made from vibranium and compound. Captain America received the vibranium shield while it was still a prototype. With this new shield, he fought confronting the Chitauri aslope the Avengers.
