Captain America And His Famous Shield
The shield is indestructible after having been produced in a lab freak accident. Due to the nature of the accident the actual system used to make its powers has never been duplicated. But it is more than just a defensive shield. It is also an offensive weapon Captain America can brandish like a boomerang to take down multiple opponents. More recently, the shield has obtained exposure as a concealed and unexpected star in the Iron Man movies. Captain America's shield briefly appeared in the movie Iron Man. It briefly is seen in the background of a shot of Tony Stark getting out of his armor. According to director Jon Favreau one of the visual effects artists included it as a joke. But is was a joke based in fact and not a random event. In the Avengers comic book series Tony Stark does take the shield to his lab to make improvements to it. Since it made sense the background prop was left in the Iron Man movie. Then in Iron Man 2 the shield again makes an appearance. Tony Stark is trying to create a new element necessary to save his life. While building a machine in his lab he is interrupted by an agent from the super secretive and ironically named S.H.I.E.L.D. agency. The agent notices the shield and asks Stark how he got it. In a funny moment Tony demands the shield as being perfect to finalize completion of his machine. He then uses it as a common prop, like a book under a short table leg, to level out some of the machine's tubes. Since Marvel is building up to an Avengers movie where Captain America, Iron Man, and other superhero characters will appear, this all just happens to tie in magnificently for fans Captain America and other Marvel characters.
