CAPTAIN AMERICA plot synopsis revealed

That's pretty much the origin. With the exception of the shield. His first one wasn't indestructable, it was the second one awarded to him by Pres. Truman himself that is the shield we've all come to know and is indestructable. Made of vibranium, steel and an unknown metal if I recall correctly. The unknown metal is the reason it has never been able to be duplicated.

I have a friend that says the shield has Adamantium like Wolverine but I don't remember ever reading that- can anyone confirm?

No adamantium. Vibranium and steel I know for sure. The last compound is unknown.

NEVER MIND- found the answer: The circular shield most associated with Captain America made its debut in Captain America Comics #2 (April 1941). A convex metal disc approximately 2.5 feet in diameter, it is virtually indestructible and has remained his most constant shield over the decades. Again through retroactive continuity, it is established that the shield was presented to Rogers by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.[1] The shield is created by a fictional American metallurgist named Dr. Myron MacLain, who had been commissioned by the US government to create an indestructible armor material to aid the war effort. MacLain experiments with vibranium, an alien metal found only in Wakanda that has unique vibration absorption properties. Captain America vol. 5, #5 (May 2005). Cover art by Steve Epting.During one of his experiments to fuse vibranium with an experimental iron alloy,[2] MacLain falls asleep and awakens to find the experiment a success. However, this is due to an unknown catalyst entering the process during his slumber, and he is unable to duplicate the result. The vibranium-iron alloy mix is then poured into a mold for a tank's upper hatch to create the disc shape and painted to become Captain America's symbol. Rogers' indestructible shield was long referred to, even in continuity, as being composed of an adamantium-vibranium alloy. This contradicted earlier established continuity, as adamantium is only developed after Rogers is revived from suspended animation, during MacLain's later experiments to try and duplicate the material of the shield. Adamantium makes its first appearance in Marvel Comics in Avengers Vol. 1 #66, July 1969. The adamantium-vibranium error first appears in the Captain America entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (the composition of the shield is accurately described in the adamantium entry as "vibranium-iron") and was propagated in several subsequent stories by writers using the Handbook as a reference. An attempt to correct this was made in Captain America #303–304 (March–April 1985), which establishes that the shield is made of vibranium and an "experimental iron alloy", but that did not prevent the repetition of the "adamantium-vibranium" description over the years. The vibranium in the shield is what absorbs virtually all of the kinetic impact from any blows that the shield receives, allowing it to withstand incredible amounts of force without injuring Rogers in the process. The vibranium is also a factor in the way Rogers throws his shield: he often uses it to ricochet around a room and strike various opponents with little loss of velocity in its forward movement after each impact.

The big question is, are they going to screw up his look with black leather and armor? Sure, he had scale mail, but no armor plating. As far as Adamantium, Wolverine has been around for a long time, and through the X Men toons, even teamed up with Cap. Did he not have the Adamantium coated claws then?

As far back as I can remember, it's been "an adamantium-vibranium alloy that has never been duplicated" ... for the purposes of the movie, I'll settle for "indestructable". I actually don't have a problem with Cap wearing leather - makes sense for a soldier to wear something a bit more durable than simple cloth - as long as it's red, white and blue and looks like the suit from the comics. I'm thinking something along the lines of what Daredevil wore in his movie (but with a better actor than Ben Affleck under the mask). I'm really looking forward to this one. Hope they do it right.

Wolverine did infact have claws back in the day, but it wasn't until he was turned into Weapon X that his skeletal structure, including his claws were coated with Adamantium.

No adamantium at that time. It was some time after WW2 and his time in the CIA that he became a member of Team X. I don't know the exact time frame, I'm sure someone does.

Yes, im hoping they go for the whole Cap fighting the Nazi's and the RedSkull. That will rock n roll. I dont care what material the suit is. It has to be just like the comic's otherwise it won't be Captain America. It will be Captain I don't care to see this film.

bjordson is correct about Logan not having an adamantium laced skeletal structure. It wasn't until later when he was put into the Weapon X program. In fact in the early comics specifically the Wolverine issue with him and Cap fighting Nazis, he doesn`t have claws at all. Because of his retconned origin, its assumed he had claws back then. I always thought Cap`s shield was vibranium and admantium, but I guess not. Anyway, as far as the uniform I`d like to see him in the red, white, and blues but belike they show him in a few comics where he`s wearing WWII fatigues and jacket over it.
