How Well Do You Know Your Pop Culture Shields?

It may be safe to say everyone who follows comics and pop culture knows exactly who wields these two shields shown below, but they aren’t the only heroes (or villains) who take advantage of these ornate forms or protection.

As many characters from the fantasy, science fiction, and even historical fiction realms are known by their costumes or the weapons they use, the importance of a good shield for defense (and sometimes offense) should never be underestimated.

Just for fun and bragging rights, let’s see how well you know your shields:
