Comments on: Captain America’s Shield Spotted in Iron Man

Again through retroactive continuity, it is established that the shield was presented to Rogers by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.[1] The shield is created by a fictional American metallurgist named Dr. Myron MacLain, who had been commissioned by the US government to create an indestructible armor material to aid the war effort. MacLain experiments with vibranium, an alien metal found only in Wakanda that has unique vibration absorption properties.
The vibranium-iron alloy mix is then poured into a mold for a tank’s upper hatch to create the disc shape and painted to become Captain America’s symbol.

Dr. Maclain did this independently and never worked for Stark Industries. He did later work for s.h.i.e.l.d. Tony Stark never developed Cap’s Shield, So all this would be is another gross screw up of yet another comic book storyline

I would agree with the McConaughey comments if not for him pulling off badass fairly well in Reign of Fire. The movie didn’t do that great but you can’t deny him going totally against the pretty boy stereotype he has been labeled with.

What if Tony’s father built the shield for Cap. America and what if the us gov’t put cap into long term cold storage and now the gov’t is thinking of taking cap OUT of storage and they want Tony to see if he can improve the shield…or merely they are having him take a look at it to better understand it and then improve it if he can???

i am by no means a comic book expert but hey, if marvel is bending story lines here and there already, why not bend it a little more if it means that a good, money-making movie results out of it??

I’m the last person to see Iron Man, which was sweet, but I was anxious to leave and missed the post-credit Fury meeting. Goddammit!

My personal take on it would be that Cap’s shield already existed from the days of WW2. The impossible alloy that comprised the shield is still one of the strongest metals in Marvel’s mythology. So if the shield was found after Cap dissappeared, the government would still own it. A military contractor with Starks pull could probably ask to study it for a classified practical application study (while really using it to investigate the alloys make his own super-armor).

It is either that or he bought it years ago at a Christie’s auction. You know how the super rich can be,

Kevin Fiege from Marvel Entertainment has confirmed that it is Cap’s shield.

The idea that Tony’s father built the shield is a good one. “He helped defeat the Nazi’s!”

What about Colin Ferguson for Captain America. I mean he’s not a major movie star but he’s done more than just television.

AND for Captamerica…”You gotta have someone with the Capt America chin too.”

I think he’s got enough of a chin to pull off the look lol

He’s more over played a lot of roles as likeable caring people: Doctors, police officers, agents, sheriffs etc

One thing i hate to hear is everyone saying Tony Stark is building the shield, has anyone thought his father may have worked on the super soldier project, it does say in the interview with the reporter from “Brown” that his father helped fight the nazis…” maybe he is taking apart the shield, i mean in the movie, which i saw twice, it was apparent that the shield wasn’t complete, maybe he is going through his fathers things, and that was one of his fathers unfinished projects?
