    For me, it's the shield.

    It's made of vibranium. The first time we see it, it's described as "totally shock absorbent." Bullets are fired at it, and they drop to the floor upon contact.

    Later, we see Cap throwing the shield around and it ricocheting off everything, instead of absorbing the shock and falling to the ground. Bullets bounce off of it and kill other people in proximity. But then Cap uses it to shield himself from the impact of a 100 foot fall, presumably because it absorbs the shock of the fall. Spider-man eventually calls it out by saying "That totally does not obey the laws of physics" but that seems like a terrible understatement. It contradicts its own laws of physics.

    Not a bashing thread, cause I love the MCU, but...

    What makes you raise an eyebrow in the MCU?
    This is a plausible explanation for why the shield bounces.



    Basically, the original question doesn't take into account what happens to the energy after it's absorbed.
