Re: Purist annoyances
(Anonymous) 2016-07-06 02:02 am (UTC)(link)It is not made of vibranium.
It is not made of adamantium.
It is not made of layers of adamantium and vibranium sandwiched on each other.
It is not (quite) made of an adamantium-vibranium alloy.
Captain America's shield is a one-off anomaly, a perversely irreproducible result (not unlike the Captain himself). Dr. Myron MacLean was attempting to alloy vibranium with a certain extremely high-strength steel, and it simply wouldn't work. Then, one morning, it did. To this day, no one knows why or how. The resultant disc of metal was and is completely indestructible, invulnerable to all physical damage, and has physical and aerodynamic properties that are unusual in the extreme.
The years of frustration Dr. MacLean spent attempting to reproduce that impossible metallurgical accident did produce one decent spin-off product, though: a useful alloy called adamantium that, while nowhere near as indestructible as Captain America's shield, is more than indestructible enough for most reasonable purposes.
