Weakest person/object/event that could destroy Cap's shield?

I can't remember what the outcome was but I do recall Cap going against Molecule Man once.

He knocked Molecule Man out after MM KO'ed Surfer...

iirc, Molecule Man did destroy or damage the shield, stating it was "weirder than anything he had felt before" and he had destroyed Surfer's board and Mjolnir as well

Yup, that's what happened. Beat me to it Jake.

Wasn't that the same issue where MM ended up easily recreating the board, shield, and hammer, but was unable to recreate Tony's armor because the circuitry was too complex?

Heh.

I think so. It goes to show you that Molecule Man's powers are limited by his own intellect or lack thereof at times.

makes sense...he can recreate raw material but not intelligent design

Just seems like recreating an Odin-enchanted hammer, and a cosmically powered board would be more difficult than recreating the man made circuitry of an armor.

lol but to be fair at least the board and hammer are simple designs unlike tony's armor.

He messed up with the shield, didn't he?

Magic and Comic board is more simple than an armor?

Remember what the hammer can do I don't think is at simple as it looks.

He did. Recreated shield had a flaw. So it was not just Tony's armor that was too complex for him.

I'm pretty sure the whole reason that there's never been an entire army of guys armed with shields like Cap is that aside from Vibranium being rather prohibitively rare no one can figure out the right composition of the shield's material. How then could MM put it back together and then fail to recreate Tony's armor? I understand that the circuitry would be difficult but so would pegging the proper chemical formula for Cap's shield or recreating enchanted Uru.

Edit: ^Nvm.

You sure that was MM's error? For some reason I thought the 'flaw' in Cap's shield originated when the Beyonder recreated it after Doom (/w/ Beyonder's power) had destroyed it. Wasn't that what introduced a small sub-molecular imperfection into the vibranium, leaving one solitary molecule out of alignment, and eventually shattering it?

It seems like it would be easy for someone like Dr Doom to build a device that can look through time which would allow him to discover just what happened when the scientist who created the shield fell asleep. That way Doom could make a suit of armor from the same stuff as Cap's shield and he'd be close to unstoppable.
