He would not just because superman is strong but the only thing that can break caps shield is adamantium. Also who agrees thanos breaking his shield is complete bull
Since thor broke the shield superman can too. Now I know what your going to say "thor is magic and superman doesn't have magic so he can't break the shield." Actually thor's so called "magic" is only in his hammer. And yes he did use the hammer to break it that's not the point. The only magic in the hammer is to make sure no one else can wield, weather control and maybe some enhancement of general physical ability(strength, speed, stamina, etc.) But the hammer does not weaken anything that it's hitting. It's incredible strength also doesn't come from magic. It comes from the hammer being forged from the heart of a star. Now if you want the exact measurements for his hammer and other things go on youtube and look up captain America's shield versus saitama made by film theory (awesome youtuber, you should check out his other vids). Now in the video he uses the movies as his source but we know that he did break it in the comics and we know that superman can perform better than saitama in the situation that film theory presents.
It's really not overrated at all. While it can't be broken by pure strength, magic users can and have broken it before. It's definitely not the strongest weapon ever it's more symbolic
Before we continue we need to establish the force it would take to destroy the shield. Like a nuke or something. But a super-nova is where we can all agree it would shatter
ok then because I just did some research and I had forgotten about superman's infinite mass punch which breaks down anything he hits at a molecular level
Ok the question is whether superman could break it not whether he is stronger or weaker than hulk and thor. If you want to argue that than I made a forum for it
And you didn't debunk anything. When it comes to heat vision you provided some evidence so I'll stay away from that one. But when it comes to strength you used physics to say that his shield absorbs energy but then you refused to except the actual physics that exist. Then with freeze breath along with a lot of other things you just said it wouldn't work without any sort of evidence
The physics of how energy absorption works. I clearly must have missed the physics class where they said hey guys these laws we've been talking about, the ones that if we were without no universe could fundamentally exist. They don't apply if some dude on a forum says they don't anymore
Ultron Broke the shield hulk thor superman are stronger then Ultron also im sure the godblast would destroy the shield and hulk Will become angry enough to destroy it
I would like to say that it has been amazing to argue this point. This is truly what makes a fandom and it's clear everyone on this forum has done their research. I don't care if I'm wrong or right it's just been amazing to argue alongside true believers
No I am saying that although yes in some universes you can change some parts but there are certain building blocks of the universe that if you removed them then the universe in question would crumble
Which is why only magic and omnipotent beings can destroy the shield. The shield was made to be unbreakable so in order to break it you need to defy reality
Vibranium is the perfect metal alloy in that in just absorbs kinetic energy. Adding adamantium makes it all the more better. I've already spoken about the non magic users. The Infinity stones make you omnipotent so that would allow the shield to break
And Superman can melt it. The question is whether he can break it not that he has to punch it or something. He could also freeze it then shatter it. Our he can fly faster than light with it and let it fade away from the speed
Freezing or melting isn't breaking and even then The shield should resist extreme temperatures better than you'd think. Who's Serpent? When did that happen. Cap's shield has never been broken by anything other than magic or an infinity stone
Number one the power stone is a cosmic power which means it works within the bounds of the universe so does molecule man so that means that the universe has conventional methods of destroying it. Number 2 of course melting or freezing count as breaking. I'm sure everyone else on this forum will agree
Number 3 I didn't want to originally bring this up because I thought everything I had said was enough but if you read some of the older comics, like bronze age, you will see that superman has every single power there is. And number 4 just look up marvel serpent and one of the first pictures is him breaking the shield with his bear hands
The Infinity Stones make the user nigh-omnipotent so of course that would break the shield but just because it obeys the rules of science any strong person can break it. Hulk, Thor, Thanos and many others have tried and failed. Superman would hurt his hand if he tried
Look at number 3 and you keep saying how the shield can't be broken with sheer strength but the power stone is sheer strength. Superman once punched his way out of the phantom zone. Let me remind you in the phantom zone you have no physical form.
Also you only mention molecule man thanks and thor when it comes to breaking the shield but the sentinels have also broken it with their bear hands. So did hyperion and Gregory stark and ultron and namora
@Wic23 The power stone once made up a god that died and created the stones. Superman is not a god nor omnipotent. Also I have no idea what your on about 2,3 and 4.
Ok what you can't just say oh that's not canon and it works. It is perfectly canon it even provides the actual comic strip where it happens. Same with ultron
Nope. The shield hasn't really been broken through physical means, only by magic or cosmic powers such as the Infinity Stones, Molecule Man, or Asgardian magic. Superman has access to none of these, and no matter how hard he hits, the vibranium will absorb the impact and it'll spread the kinetic energy outwards along the shield, so if anything, I believe it'll make it stronger. The vibranium is also mixed with proto adamantium which is THE strongest type of adamantium in the Marvel universe. Thanos has proved to be completely defenseless against it without the aid of something like the Reality or Power Stones. The shield has also taken full on attacks from Thor, Hulk, and Juggernaut and it doesn't even have a SCRATCH. Superman can put as much speed and power behind his punches as he wants, but the likeliness of him breaking the shield is basically zero.
Yes the shield can absorb the impact but as we learn in basic physics that an object that absorbs energy takes some of the energy in. And since we know that his shield can be broken that means 20 quintillion tons of force could snap crackle pop that thing
Also the infinity stone being cosmic doesn't mean that regular things can brake it. The power stone is all the energy in the universe but it does not brake the laws of the universe. This means it can be broken through conventional methods
@Wic23 While objects do absorb some energy, vibranium is unique in that it absorbs close to 0% of that energy and instead converts it into something that can be repelled back. No one said the power stone defies the laws of physics which is why we said only magic and the Infinity Gauntlet can break the shield. Superman has neither
I agree that the marvel universe works on different laws. How else would superman fly or hulk smash. But the laws that go into something like this are so fundamental if you left them out then the universe would crumble
@Tyrannus do you have the mental capacity of a frog? of course Superman can break vibranium... Is that some sort of sick joke? Superman has consistently wrecked multiversal Darkseid avatars and you think he'd be stopped by a puny little vibranium shield?
@Anti_Monitor Starting off with insults eh. Always a sign someone doesn't know what they're talking about. Vibranium absorbs kinetic energy. The Adamantium only makes it that much stronger.
Like I already said I debunked why Superman can't do anything to the shield. It's not a matter of punching the shield even stronger because vibranium absorbs kinetic energy. The adamantium only makes it that much stronger.
@Dark_Wing Yeah. Thor had the Odin-Force (and he still only dented it) and Thanos used the Power Stone. Also, Cul used powerful magic to do so. Superman has none of those 3. He can't get past it.
He can't break it at all no matter how hard he tried. It's not a matter of just hitting the shield hard enough, the vibranium just absorbs the kinetic energy and spreads it out. As if vibranium wasn't enough the shield's alloyed with adamantium, the strongest metal ever. Only magic can break the shield.
Why it cant be break physically ?
Im sure it has one level ,if someone cross level and punch it will definitely break
Number 3 I didn't want to originally bring this up because I thought everything I had said was enough but if you read some of the older comics, like bronze age, you will see that superman has every single power there is. And number 4 just look up marvel serpent and one of the first pictures is him breaking the shield with his bear hands
He's a lot stronger than Hulk, and Thor.
