6. Captain America’s Shield
- Company: Marvel Comics
- Real Science: Physics
- Possible to Recreate: Yes & No
Captain America’s shield is made from a special metal known as Vibranium which is considered rare to everyone around the world except those from Wakanda. The shield’s metal does not exist in real life but the way they often use it on Marvel holds up pretty well scientifically. Due to its light yet strong nature, it would be possible to operate similarly to that of a boomerang or Frisbie.
On top of this, the metal itself is made to absorb vibration and use it as a way to bounce the energy back. Such as the case of Thor hitting the shield with his hammer. This bright flash would happen when the force of the hammer mixed with lightning hit a shield that was meant to absorb and send back energy. Therefore, from a strictly scientific basis on just the shield and the scientific laws, it needs to abide by, everything is on the up and up here.
