Captain America's Shield (Marvel Universe)

's Shield is his primary weapon. This shield is composed of a unique alloy of and steel and is, therefore, practically indestructible. It is as much an offensive weapon as a defensive one for Captain America. Rogers uses it against his enemies, mainly, by throwing it at them and can perform mind-bogglingly impossible tricks with it.

Appearance
The shield is a disc shaped object with a five-pointed star design in its centre, within blue, red, and white concentric circles.

The back of the shield has two brown straps.

Attributes
The shield is composed of the most durable known substance in the. Despite numerous attempts, the Vibranium-Steel alloy has never been duplicated. The shield is not only nearly indestructible, but it absorbs a great deal of kinetic energy from impacts because of its Vibranium component. Rogers has also used the shield to cushion the force of impact when dropped from a high altitude by standing on the shield.

The shield is in shape of a concave disc. The shield's shape makes it a superb throwing weapon, as it can cut through the air with minimal wind resistance. It is also able to bounce off solid objects, such as walls and floors, when struck on its edge and can be ricocheted off of multiple surfaces. It can be caught after a single throw, when angled properly. Edges are quite sharp and never seem to dull.
