marvel - Who, other than Thanos, has ever broken Captain America's shield?


While equipped with the Infinity Gauntlet (I think), Thanos made light work of Captain America's shield.


enter image description here


Has anyone else ever successfully broken it?


I'm happy to accept non-canon answers, alternate timelines and dimensions are welcome.



Answer



I'll copy this from thegeektwins


Molecule Man


enter image description here




Molecule Man is a supervillain who can control molecules, which is pretty much everything, so he's basically one of the most powerful villains in the Marvel Universe. In The Avengers 215, he proves his awesome power by disintegrating Thor's hammer, Iron Man's armor, the Silver Surfer's board, and Captain America's shield. But when the Avengers defeat him, the Molecule Man agrees to reassemble everything. Nice.



Doctor Doom


enter image description here



In the Secret Wars limited series, a godlike being known only as the Beyonder transports Earth's mightiest superheroes and supervillains onto a distant world to fight it out. When Doctor Doom steals the Beyonder's power in issue 11, he incinerates all the heroes with an energy blast, and we see Captain America's broken shield in the remains. But the Beyonder (in the body of Klaw) tricks Doctor Doom into bringing the heroes back to life, gets his power back, and grants each hero one wish. Captain America could have wished for world peace or maybe actual superpowers. Instead, he wished to have his shield repaired. Yeah, he loves that thing.



King Thor


enter image description here




When Odin's father dies, Thor becomes king of Asgard, infused with the Odin Force. The Odin Force gives him near infinite power as well as an infinite temper. In a fight of rage in Thor 73 (vol 2, if you're counting), King Thor kills Captain America and breaks his shield. However, that didn't last long. Much like the bout with Thanos, Lord Thor goes back in time to change history in issue 79 so this never happened. But it still counts.



The Serpent


enter image description here



In the Fear Itself mini-series, the Asgardian god of fear known as the Serpent is freed and goes on a rampage. He believes he's the rightful ruler of Asgard, and transforms various heroes and villains into his sinister army to overthrow Odin. During battle with the Avengers, the Serpent catches and breaks Captain America's shield in half with his bare hands. But much like the other incidents, it doesn't stay broken for long. After the Serpent is defeated, Asgardian dwarves (literal dwarves, not little people) repair the shield. The process leaves a scar, which Captain America decides to leave for character. Except that other artists decided not to use the scar.



...and more from The Inquisitor


Vibranium Cancer



enter image description here



Apparently, though, even vibranium has its limits. Once, Captain America had pushed his shield to that limit, and the energy it absorbed had caused a molecular abnormality in the vibranium. That abnormality spread, destabilizing the entire shield to the point that it shattered.


It got fixed, though, when the sonically powered supervillain Klaw blasted it with some sound waves or something. Klaw’s attack, apparently, was just what Captain America’s shield needed to realign itself and get back to its… umm… indestructisomethingness. Because comics.



...and there's even been more

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
