10 Characters Who Have Broken Captain America’s Shield
2. Gregory Stark
In the Ultimate Universe, Marvel replanted Tony Stark's family tree and gave him an older brother named Gregory, who turned out to be a bit of a git.
Gregory Stark became the new head of S.H.I.E.L.D. and a charter member of the Project Avengers, but this turned out to be a front for a diabolical scheme which involved pitting the Ultimates and the Avengers against one another.
When Nick Fury and the Avengers learned of the older Stark's treachery, they confronted him, but the villain was well prepared for a showdown. He used an army of tiny robots called nanites to imbue him with enough super strength to seize Thor's hammer, and used it to turn Captain America's shield into scrap metal.
The Avengers and a shieldless Cap eventually defeated the evil Stark, but not without a little help from their friends, the New Ultimates.
