In the comics, Captain America's shield breaking is always an extremely big fucking deal involving some kind of cosmic reality warping Thanos was able to shatter it only by punching it with the Infinity Gauntlet (as a demonstration of the Gauntlet's omnipotence)

There's a really cool moment in the What If? where Reed Richards is too late and Galactus succeeds in eating Earth Captain America says he'll stand up to him with nothing but his strength and his shield and Galactus scoffs, picks up him and crushes him in his fist

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

Replying to @arthur_affect @Tuplet and
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

That's the first time I remembered it (the first issue I bought of any non-Star Wars comic was X-men 174), but I think the first time it was actually damaged was when Molecule Man disassembled it. Yeah, that was '82, SW was '84

I didn't collect Avengers so I made the same mistake, I just fact-checked myself :)
