Editing Crucible:Argonaut's Shield (section)

== Legacy ==

Argonaut’s Shield is one of the great iconic weapons of the Silver Age and Bronze Age. It captures the essence of its wielder: classical courage, impossible adventure, disciplined strength, and a bright heroic image rooted in myth but carried into the modern world.

To the public, the flash of blue metal means Argonaut has arrived. To his enemies, it means the battle is about to become very difficult.
