well taht craps on every time i see Cap knocked away while holding the shield.

Hell even once Cap was dropped off a building by Rock Python and landed on the shield. The shield absorbed most of the impact, but Cap then admitted taht he still hurt his back.

yes, I too find its displayed defenses against area attacks a ridiculous plot device. personally, I label them all PIS

It doesn't make it better that some Cap fans act like its impossible to just wrest the shield from him and toss it aside and then commence to crushing him like a can.

To wrest the shield from Cap you would need Batman, Reed Richards, Lex Luthor, Doctor Doom and a full month's prep time

Or you just need to be Spider-man but I agree these loosers you mentioned don't come even close to him.

not impossible...but very difficult

Supes could likely dent the shield. He ain't breaking it, though.

If this is a *serious* question (and not just trolling...)...

As the shield is not magical (as Wonder Woman's bracers/lasso, or Dr. Strange's Eye, etc), it is possible that with *supreme*, *sustained*, the-fate-of-the-world-is-at-stake -- effort, Superman has *some* chance of being able to *dent*/otherwise deform Cap's shield... but that isn't happening casually, by any means, and he sure isn't punching a hole through it. Also, his hands/knuckles would likely be very badly hurt during/afterwards, similar to original Superman's hands after pummeling on/breaking through the crystal wall/barrier Alex Luthor made as a barrier between the Pre- and Post- Crisis realities...

it is somewhat inconsistant yes, but he usually survives unharmed

Dent it, yes.

Punch a hole through it, doubt it.

Ain't even denting it.

Cap's shield is the GOAT.

I don't see how that would be at all difficult for anyone with strength at Spider-Man's level or higher.

Dent it, No.

Punch a hole through it, No.

Didn't king Thor do it with strength alone?

Destroy it? Nah he used eyebeams.

During the Ironman fight, there was energy surrounding the hammer when he hit it. and that energy would be magical in nature.

Naah, gladiator was punching caps shield with everything he had for a long period of time and it didn't do anything to the shield.

Well that's because he's Gladiator.

He put a softball-sized dent in it, yeah.

He certainly did old pal, but you and i are probably the only ones who've read the comic.

Heh.

I thought you deserted KMC, my friend.
