And with the Power Cosmic Steve Rogers is instantly annihilated, but the shield remains And Galactus goes "What -- this shield -- strange -- " and holds the tiny thing between the tips of his fingers and thumbs and tries vainly to bend it in half

"Curious... well, no matter" And flicks it away into the stars It's a pretty awesome note for giving the Marvel universe this bittersweet tragic ending

You could* incorporate adamantium as-it-exists in the comics by having someone decide to make Cap's shield stronger *because* it was broken in the MCU, come up with the comic version of the shield, and then invent adamantium the same way *easily, but why, except fanservice

Although I have to admit I always liked the plot point that the shield is immune to just about any force in the universe. It was a neat constant in the comics.

What would an actual indestructible object be like? The go to thing to do is consider how it violates the laws of thermodynamics and of course it violates all of them right away. I'm not sure it would be like anything because being like something would allow you to destroy it.

It's not ABSOLUTELY indestructible it's just that when it gets destroyed it's because some kind of big whole cosmic thing happened

The first time it got destroyed was during the Secret Wars, when Dr. Doom used his Gary Stu powers of trickery to steal the Beyonder's powers, making him effectively omnipotent in the Beyonder's realm

Then when the Beyonder got his powers back and restored Steve's shield so he could send all the heroes and villains back to their proper place in the universe with nothing changed, he was sloppy and left "one molecule out of place"

(He was also too sloppy to notice Spider-Man had bonded to a horrific evil alien parasite from the planet Klymtar, but you know)

That one misaligned molecule meant that a serious instability was growing throughout the shield's "vibranium matrix" every time Steve used it thereafter, until one day he just drops it and it shatters

And by breaking in this particular way it sent a "vibranium wave" resonating through the entire Earth's crust, spreading outward and "destabilizing" all the vibranium it came in contact with, until it would eventually cause all vibranium to violently shatter

Which would be a cataclysm that destroys all life on Earth (Comic book physics are really fun All the disturbing implications you can think of have probably been explored at some point in a way that creates more disturbing implications)

I could interpret all that to mean that all vibranium is really a single particle and that certainly would make it indestructible in the sense that elementary particles are, as they are indivisible and have no parts to decompose into.
