Joining us today, we have Jason Dittmer, Professor of Political Geography at University College London and author of ‘Captain America and the Nationalist Superhero’.

We’re still in Q’s – I mean Howard’s – lab. Why is no one exploring the Tesseract-powered weapons we saw them bringing back? We discuss carbon polymers and if it’s the foundation of Steve’s uniform. And, of course, we get Cap’s shield. After a few other ridiculous designs first, of course. That sends us on a chat about vibranium and the nonsense concept it is. We also talk about the symbology of the shield.

Peggy decides to test the shield with some bullets. How do we take that? And does it work?

It’s a fun minute to chat about some serious comic lore. Tune in!
