The Hacksmith Brings the Civil Warrior's Arc Reactor Shield to Life
Civil Warrior is an alternate universe version of Captain America that incorporates some of Tony Stark’s tech into his armor and shield after his universe’s Tony dies. Well, the Hacksmith over on YouTube has created a real-life working version of the Arc Reactor Shield. The shield uses blinding blue LED lights as well as a 100W laser to not only look the part, but to make it functional too. It looks awesome!
There are many rumors about the origin of the mysterious Civil Warrior… legend says he is a Captain America from an alternate Earth ravaged by the Civil War between his own army and Iron Man’s forces. In that world, the two heroes mortally wounded each other in the final battle of the war; Steve survived, but Tony didn’t. Riddled with guilt for the battle’s destruction and the death of his former ally at his own hands, he assumed the mantle of the Civil Warrior. Adding Tony’s ARC technology to his Captain America gear, he vowed to use his friend’s legacy to stop this senseless conflict from ever happening again.
