These 8 Captain America Questions Have Never Confused Me

[@maosama3695]

ok then if his shield doesn't vibrate why does it able to exists?

[@singerdude1992]

Good for you! Congratulations! Woohoo!

[@MarvelX42]

I think that part of the problem that people have with Caps shield always returning to him is that, if it is made of Vibranium and Vibranium absorbs all vibrations then the shield would just hit something and not bounce at all. The answer is that it isn't 100% Vibranium and that a result of its construction is that the edges are the other metal that it is partially made from which does not absorb all vibrations thus allowing it to bounce back, but the middle is Vibranium thus allowing that part of the shield to absorb vibrations and kinetic energy from bullets and other projectiles that hit it.

[@normanlee6609]

Indeed. Cap's shield was the result of Dr. Myron MacLain early experiments to create a new alloy for tank armor. He had hoped to blend steel and vibranium, but was unsuccessful in creating a controlled process. It was only by accident the 2 metals combined, but how it happened was never discovered so Cap's shield was the only result of the blending. But in the efforts to re-create the alloy Adamantium was discovered.

[@TA3DArtist]

You totally jumped over the fact that Steve first wore the US Agent uniform, calling himself simply, "The Captain".

The biggest thing that has confused me is how people think Captain America is wearing the Puerto Rican flag, when it appears Bucky wore a costume resembling one first. Lol.

[@PhatGirlLuvr68Comix]

Everyone forgets the first black Captain America Isaiah Bradley.

[@kingbeauregard]

Yes. And and for that matter, why doesn't Battlestar (Lemar Hoskins) ever get any credit? He was John Walker's partner during his time as Cap, and made for a better role model than John Walker.

[@tickledeggz]

To my eternal embarrassment I only even knew about Isaiah Bradley because of that one scene in where cap visits him as an old man with dementia in a veterans home. Did he ever do anything cool or was he just another "let's make a black captain America to shut up the lefties and hopefully sell books to black kids" situation? (That last part wasn't in anyway meant to be politically charged, just an unfortunately true attitude people used to have in a nastier era)

[@PhatGirlLuvr68Comix]

@@tickledeggz Bradley's is a great story about secret government testing on black soldiers during WW2 similar to the Tuskegee Experiments. He also prevents the Nazi's from making their own super soldiers on his first mission. Also there's nothing wrong with a positive hero for black kids to look up to.

[@ShadowWingTronix]

@@PhatGirlLuvr68Comix Of course there isn't. I can't speak to Bradley himself because I thought that was an alternate universe tale until just now, but the question is whether or not he was a good character period. That would actually make him a bad hero for black kids if he isn't. Black kids deserve good heroes as much as white kids and a good hero, black or white, should be positive for kids of any race.

[@PhatGirlLuvr68Comix]

@@ShadowWingTronix Assuming you haven't already try reading the graphic novel Red White and Black and judge for yourself if Bradley is an almost perfect role model.

[@robertangus616]

Wow I had always assumed that Vibranium was first created in either Captain America or Black Panther but I did a quick Google check and yeah, it was first created in Daredevil #13 in 1966

[@odinson902]

What about who trained him? How does he know all those martial arts when he was given the serum and went straight to war

[@awe7266]

He went through military training before he got the serum..maybe after he got it, he was simply able to apply them.

[@odinson902]

I find the location of the Washington Monument as a terrorist target in a story from 1987 interesting due to an actual incident that occurred in 1982. A helmeted nuclear weapons protester took the monument and visitors inside hostage by claiming his box truck parked at the base was full of dynamite. A reporter volunteered to speak with him and negotiated the release of the 8 tourists. The protester was later killed when police attempted to stop the truck after he tried to flee. The truck was actually empty it turned out. Can't tell me, it wasn't a deliberate choice to use the monument.

[@serPomiz]

back then americans media where more prone to give landamrks citazionistic use, somewhat a form of cultural focussing (bacause, if multiple focal events are tied to a place, that place is more likelly to be remebered), also, that is a very important landmark for america history. too bad 2 decades later they would completelly change their wiev of that and keept annoying the rest of the world for just as much time...

[@nathangarr7514]

Ok then how does Sam Wilson throw the shield and it come back to him?

[@odinson902]

Your right. It's heavy too. He should barely be able to move swiftly with it.

[@blazinbraixen9067]

I think Sam had a different shield if I recall. It was just another round shield specific to the Character.

[@micah4029]

8. I'm confused by what's confusing about US Agent. It's a fairly straightforward character origin. 5. Not confusing. Bucky became Cap because Steve died, then "gave it up" when he himself died. Falcon became Cap when Steve super-aged, then gave it up when Steve was fit to be Cap again.

[@DuelistDragonRey]

For #3, there were 2 other Captain Americas before William Burnside.(Not accounting for Isaiah Bradley) I suggest the book Captain America: Patriot for better details of what I am about to say. 2 superheroes of the era replaced Steve. First The Spirit of '76(William Nasland) and then the original Patriot(Jeffrey Mace). And then William Burnside became Captain America. Captain America:Patriot is about Jeffrey Mace and it was great at making me like this person I never heard of.

[@YankeePendragon]

Concerning #2, I direct you to two panels in (of all places) "Daredevil" #231. In one scene, having confronted Matt Murdock about Nuke's seemingly-motiveless attack on Hell's Kitchen, Cap is left standing on a rooftop thinking "It doesn't mean anything to them...To them, its just a piece of cloth. Sometimes I feel so weak." In a later panel, Cap gently takes hold of the flag and tells a ranking General he's trying to get answers from "I'm loyal to nothing, General...except the dream." Cap ultimately answers solely to his beliefs in "the American Dream" and its ideals. Everything else is just background noise.

[@timothylewis2527]

It's crazy how both Batman and Captain America died near the same time and both used the "Sent through time" cop out. And before that both used the "Deceased sidekick is back but now they're evil" story at the same time, too.

[@Berengier817]

If it's shield is not capable of vibrating because of the vibranium, how does his shield return to him,

[@Whizkidd2025]

Berengier817 • it “doesn’t follow the laws of physics.”

[@AmatoGore]

Maybe the side of the shield isn't fully vibranium?

[@kingbeauregard]

@@AmatoGore In my day, the shield was an adamantium / vibranium alloy, and was 12 pounds 3.2 oz without the straps. During the period when John Walker was Cap and Steve Rogers was trying to make a different identity for himself, he was given a couple different shields (one by Tony Stark, another by T'Challa), and because they were pure vibranium rather than the alloy, they rebounded a little differently. All of that said, how about this: conservation of momentum requires that the shields bounce off walls and such, but any vibrations within the shield are immediately eliminated.

[@thejohnykilroy]

It doesn't "return" to him. He goes to where it will be.

[@maosama3695]

@@thejohnykilroy ok then explain why captain america is able to touch and see or even hit people with a shield that doesn't vibrate. it shouldn't exist in the first place , we shouldn't be even able to see or touch it if it doesn't vibrate. and let's say it is possible to touch and see an object that doesn't vibrate. but if you throw it , it shouldn't bounce off object it would either stop the moment it hit something or it'll go through like phasing or cutting everything in it's path.

“Captain America represents the ideals of America” This is why Superman will always be a better hero than Cap. Superman is the symbol of hope. A hero that everyone around the world can look up and inspire to. He’s a alien with the power to rule as a god if he wanted to, but instead Superman choices to live *among* us. If someone like him can choose too be good, then why can’t we?

The "cap does quick maths" explaination is stupid. Why don't they just say he has some special magnet in his glove that can pull the shield back when he activates it?

[@anonymouslyforgotten5592]

Because that would limit the shield to only when he wears the suit, and it's an easy and realistic enough reason.

[@mewow483]

@@anonymouslyforgotten5592 how? Not all materials are the same density so the distance and angle it reflects off will vary. Also there is no way that he will always be in an environment or position for it to reflect back to him. Having the magnet would make life easier. They used it in age of ultron and it made sense. And it doesn't have to be in his glove, it can just be a device around his wrist or something.
