As far as I can tell, that image illustrates Throwing Your Shield Always Works (though I can't even tell that's a shield), especially with the caption.

Does anybody have a good image of somebody hitting something with the shield in their hand?

Alternatively, there's also several panels worth of this trope in the Asterix albums.

It's harder than I expected to find good images of this for Captain America, at least via Google Images. A few decent ones from covers:

I took the speech bubbles out of the first Cap pic.

^^I think Gabriel Gloom's is better than all of those. Especially since in some of those it looks more like he's stabbing someone with a shield (as if it were some circular bladed thing) rather than bashing someone with it.

I would suggest mine over the covers, simply because there's less going on in the background.

^ & ^^ I'll concur, but I fancy shimaspawn's touch-up job. No speech bubbles and much more vivid colors.

The speech bubbles were illegible and distracting at wiki size. It's just a minor edit, but it makes the image much clearer.

[up] Agreed. Possibly with the caption; "'Klong?' ... At least it's not 'Wank'".

Wank... wow and I thought some Manga sound whatevers were bad.

Negima gets some weird ones (like "Pettanko" and "destruction") but nothing like that one.

Okay we need to use that "WANK" picture for something.

But yeah, for this trope Shimaspawns version of Gloom's pic is the best we're going to get.

Prolly not better, but tossing those two out there.

Now I'm just really wondering, given the direction Cap is swinging his shield, how that HYDRA mook manages to say in the same spot and avoid being swatted to one side or another.

The full scene is Capt catches the shield after it rebounds off an enemy, and smacks that guy down with it.

I still like Klong better. It has movement lines.

Shimaspawn's image looks good, especially as modified.

What should we put as the caption?
