Okay but this's not even a scaling problem
We're just going "Let's make the baseline assumption that stuff doesn't operate like IRL"
Also just saying that Cap's page literally mentions that his shield absorbs force:
"Captain America's Shield: Steve Rogers' greatest and most iconic weapon as Captain America is his shield. Made from a Proto-Adamantium / Vibranium Alloy that has never been duplicated, the shield is one of the most durable items in the universe, being capable of taking full-powered attacks from the likes of Thor, The Hulk, and Silver Surfer without even suffering a small-dent. Furthermore, the Shield also absorbs most-kinetic energy from impacts due to its Vibranium component, which is why Captain America doesn't get sent flying when he blocks attacks from such powerful opponents. The shield is also highly aerodynamic, receiving minimal wind resistance and deflection of path, which combined with Steve Rogers' inhuman precision and skill makes it a highly efficient throwing weapon."
Rhino I don't see why we can't scale his baseline durability to lower then with his suit, heck we don't even give proper reasoning on his page for durability
Hammerhead is also a bad example because no him running and ramming into people wouldn't translate to the rest of his body, just the part he rams to
The reasoning on page for just higher durability with plate is also bad since they give the reasoning that an Amed High 8-C hurt his hand punching it, like why isn't it just High 8-C then?
Iron Man and Crimson weren't even debunked by being weird tech stuff, Zark just said to read the issues which isn't even a good counter
