Captain America and His Famous Shield

The shield is indestructible after having been devised in a laboratory freak accident. Due to the nature of the accident the actual process used to fashion its powers has never been copied. But it is more than just a defensive shield. It is also an offensive weapon Captain America can control like a boomerang to take down numerous opponents. More recently, the shield has gained exposure as a concealed and unexpected star in the Iron Man films. Captain America's shield fleetingly 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 finish 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 fabulously for fans Captain America and other Marvel characters. |
