Captain America’s shield plays a major role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tony Stark wears his suit, Thor is having a bug hammer and Steve Rogers has the shield. But Steve Rogers has not only one shield but has switched to many shields. The shield is not only for the purpose of protection but in fact, it is also a dominant weapon.
Shield has played a role like a limb to Steve Rogers in Captain America. The image of the shield will always be an emblematic symbol of Captain America in the MCU. Also, the shield has developed since the beginning.
USO Shield
The USO shield is a prop from the USO tour costume in the Captain America: The First Avenger. Steve Rogers tours as Captain America to facilitate war treaties. He carries a shield that is painted with stars and stripes. While being on a rescue mission to emancipate Allied Soldiers in Austria, Rogers has used the shield to cover him.
The shield had been destroyed while he was fighting with Hydra’s commander, Johann Schmidt.
New Prototype Shield
Happy Hogan mentions in “Spiderman: Homecoming” that Tony has used a prototype shield for Captain America. Shield has used the retractable shield that is designed by T’Challa and Shuri.
Original Vibranium Shield
In “The First Avengers”, Howard Stark is having a prototype shield that is made up of Vibranium. Vibranium is a strong substance that can protect a human body from gunfire. Howard Stark has designed a circular shield. This has been a primary shield that is used by Steve in Captain America.
The shield was decayed and abandoned by Steve in the Civil War but Tony Stark clasped onto it in the least time. Steve had utilized dual-retractable vibranium protection in Avengers: Infinity War. His original vibranium shield was rebuilt and returned to him in Avengers: Endgame. He used the same shield till Thanos completely demolished it during the battle at the Avengers Compound.
Alternate Vibranium Shield
After the doom of Thanos in Endgame, Steves has roamed back to return the Infinity Stones. He lives a cheerful life with Peggy. A new pre-assumed timeline has been created by him.
This launches a new medium in MCU.
