Captain America's weapons

Captain America's Shield Captain America's primary weapon is his shield, a concave disk that is 2.5 feet in diameter, weighing 12 pounds. It is made of a unique Vibranium and Proto-Adamantium steel alloy that has never been duplicated. The Shield was cast by American metallurgist Dr. Myron MacLain, who was contracted by the U.S. government to create an impenetrable substance to use for tanks during World War II. During his experiments, MacLain infused Proto-Adamantium with Vibranium steel alloy and created the disc-shaped shield. MacLain was never able to duplicate the process due to his inability to identify a still unknown catalyst that played a role in the metal bonding. The shield was awarded to Captain America by the government several months after the beginning of his career. The shield has great aerodynamic properties: it is able to slice through the air with minimal wind resistance and deflection of path. Its great overall resilience, combined with its natural concentric stiffness, enables it to rebound from objects with minimal loss of angular momentum. It is virtually indestructible: it is resistant to penetration, temperature extremes, and the entire electromagnetic spectrum of radiation. The only way it can be damaged in any way is by tampering with its molecular bonding. For example, the shield has only ever been damaged or destroyed five times by Thor wielding the Odin-Force, Doctor Doom with the powers he stole from the Beyonder, Thanos with the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, Molecule Man and his total control over matter, and the Serpent after augmenting his strength with the fear of people from all over the world. Energy Shield A photonic shield able to redirect kinetic energy, emit energy blasts, and morph into a staff.
