Cap was reluctant to use it however with his shield broken, he opted for it's use and continued to use it until his original shield was repaired by [[T'Challa (Earth-8096|Black Panther]] and Wakandan science. After his shield is restored Cap ditches the energy shield and it's taken by [[Clint Barton (Earth-8096)|Hawkeye]] who's more impressed with it's technical features. The energy shield can expand the fields protection coverage past it's typical diameter. |

History
The earliest form was used by a member of the Raiders and later adopted by Iron Man. These emitted photons into a small round shape and were generally a supplement to the rest of their armor's defenses.[1]
US Agent received a photon shield when he joined Force Works; it could be activated by voice command.[2] Around this time SHIELD produced its own design using cooled plasma. Captain America (Steve Rogers) briefly used the plasma shield while in exile. Not only were they useful protection, but the shields could be used as controllable projectile weapons.[3]
On Counter-Earth/Heroes Reborn, Rebecca Barnes used a Vibranium-powered triangular energy shield.
An updated version of the plasma shield with a flexible containment matrix was given to Steve Rogers by Sharon Carter while his normal shield was being repaired. This shield can morph into other forms if needed, such as a staff, sword, or rope. It could even take on the design of his old shield. He later gave this shield to the time traveler Primax.
Taskmaster managed to acquire a similar device from SHIELD, possibly the cooled plasma version or another version of it. Not only does it supplement his Adamantium dupe of Captain America's Shield, but Taskmaster has used it for energy "claws" and to simulate Spider-Man's webshooters.
Stark's S.K.I.N. armor combined an energy blade and shield; this shield could be expanded to cover the entire armor.
After Steve Rogers replaced Norman Osborn, he began using a new energy shield, as the real shield was being used by Captain America. This shield uses Zero-point Energy. Buck Lime acquired a Zero-point Energy Shield generator for Moon Knight.Notes
