KNOWN POWERS • A 2.5’ diameter concave disc made of a unique mixture of adamantium and vibra- nium, coated with a high enamel mixed with titanium nitride. • Made of Class 1000 material, to all forms of energy and physical damage except magic and psionic powers. • The shield may absorb up to 90 points of damage in a single round. User may not attack in that round, and is still subject to effects of stunning and slamming. • May be thrown (range dependent on user’s strength) for up to Remarkable damage. Captain America is extremely talented using the shield, such that he may bounce it off targets and have it return to his hand. This is an ability of the thrower not of the shield, though it is very light and rebounds off solid targets.

DESIGN NOTES Captain America’s shield was made by Dr. Myron MacLain, who was later to discover true adamantium. In one of his experiments using an early adamantium alloy and a sam- ple of Wakandan vibranium, MacLain discov- ered a perfect mixture, which he poured Into a disc-shaped test mold. Dr. MacLain had fallen asleep during part of his own experi- ment, and during that time something else may have entered the mixture, for the result was unreproduceable.

DESIGN NOTES Doctor Octopus designed this harness as a duplicate of his original, though made of ada- mantium alloy, but abandoned it soon after its forging, returning to his original harness. The arms were kept in Ryker’s Island under an energy field, but were “sprung” by Doctor Octopus and used to battle Iron Man. Iron Man defeated the adamantium arms, and used them to defeat the mad doctor. The present fate of this set of arms is unknown. POWER HORN (UNICORN™) Designed and built by Anton Vanko and others Worn by MILOS MASARYK™ KNOWN POWERS • Cybernetically-controlled headgear capa- ble of firing a range of energy bolts from the crown of the helmet. • May fire laser beams, including infrared and ultraviolet lasers for up to Monstrous S&T damage. • May fire neutron- and electron-beams for up to Monstrous Slugfest damage. • Range of all beams is 20 areas. • Power supply located in wearer’s belt.

DESIGN NOTES Anton Vanko, designer of the Crimson Dynamo armor also designed a power hel- met that used various radiation bands. He gave this helmet to Soviet intelligence agent Milos Masaryk and trained him in its use. Masaryk, as Unicorn, later came to America to retrieve the defector Vanko, only to be defeated by Iron Man. Following this defeat Masaryk engaged in subversive activities, then returned to his native Czechoslovakia. There the power horn was modified and increased in power. Unicorn returned to sub- versive activity, seeking a cure to cellular deterioration, the result of a treatment aside from the power horn. Unicorn has worked as an agent for RED GHOST™, MANDARIN™, and Titanium Man, and was last seen walk- ing out to sea, trying to rendezvous with the latter. The fate of the power horn is unknown.
