Care to know? Look no further than at Marvel.
From the story...
Later stories, such as the classic CAPTAIN AMERICA Vol. 1 #355 by Roger Stern and John Byrne, revealed that President Franklin Roosevelt presented the hero with the traditional, circular shield that fans around the world know and love shortly after Steve Rogers became Captain America.
Crafted from vibranium and an experimental metallic alloy, Captain America's shield served him well as he fought throughout Europe. The vibranium in the shield made it capable of absorbing and deflecting large amounts of energy and force, while its aerodynamic design made it a perfect projectile weapon, giving Cap both great defensive and offensive capabilities.
But it's not just the shield's iconic status that makes it unique amongst all the other weapons in the Marvel Universe. During a mission in AVENGERS Vol. 1 #215, the villainous Molecule Man reduced Cap's shield down to its primary elements along with Thor's hammer, Iron Man's armor and the Silver Surfer's board, but it was the shield's atomic makeup that the villain described as the "weirdest of all."
