I have a totally unrelated question, but can Godspeed take away Quicksilver's power?
Welcome!
Theoretically, Godspeed stole the Speed Force, or the ability to use it, and since Quicksilver does not use the Speed Force, he is immune. That is, unless Godspeed's speed theft has nothing to do with stealing one's ability to harness the speed force, in which case Quicksilver had better jump in front of a helicopter and get it over with.
Okay, another question. What would happen if Superman punched Cap's shield? Vibranium is super-strong, but is it that strong?
The way that Vibranium works is by absorbing incoming energy and then allowing it to be dispersed through redirection.
Superman's Strength is variable but ranges from around a few tons to infinite.
Assuming material sciences still apply to Vibranium the energy is being stored in the shield as moving atoms. It can then be assumed that the Vibranium is just capable of holding its shape at higher heat ranges than other metals and that there is some key in releasing it in a given direction.
There are 2 stategies that Superman can apply to break the shield...
1. Differential heating and cooling. The differences in the atoms could theoretically cause fractures and shatter the shield.
2. Just keep hitting it or heat vision it. Eventually the capacity to "hold" the energy will be too much and the shield will melt/be destroyed.
The first method may not work just because the redirecting and taking in the energy implies an ability to transfer energy quickly and so it would either take a massive difference or it just would never be enough.
The second method depends on the maximum capacities of the shield and Superman. Superman's heat vision can get through his invulnerability which means it is producing extreme heat, because Superman can live inside stars. Can Vibranium take the heat of stars or greater? I don't think it can, but I don't think there was ever a stated limit, but there are examples of it being destroyed with less than Nuclear force. Superman can produce Nuclear forces thus he can destroy Vibranium. So can a lot of other Superheroes.
Hypothetically, it could be possibly to prevent destruction though if one were fast enough and able to release the energy faster than it built up to its limit. So Flash with the Shield could make it impossible to destroy, but under normal conditions, a lot of superheroes could easily destroy it despite what a lot of authors want to write in various comics ^.^
Probably not. From the GotG movies it’s implied that only a celestial with the help of others can lift it.
Star Lord was half-Celestial, though. Is it possible a Kryptonian might be able to lift it with sufficent help as well?
Well, of course he could lift it. But would he survive holding it for long?
The fact Superboy is the CLONE of a KRYPTONIAN, I'd have to say he wouldn't last more than a couple seconds. And he's my RPC. EGADS! I GOTTA GO MAKE SUPERBOY DROP THAT STONE!!!

At least, that's what the internet says.
Are there any specific examples of thing vibanium has survived that may relate to Superman? For example, has it survived against Cyclops' eye beams, the Hulk's attacks, etc.

Superman took down the Hulk and has better lasers than Cyclops.

Yes, but it would allow us to get a general idea of what vibranium can hold up too.

In the MCU it has survived Mjolnir (Thor’s hammer) and Iron Man’s repulsor beams on multiple occasions.
Please bear in mind that Cap's shield is an iron-vibranium alloy, meaning that it is even toughr than normal vibranium. Also keep in mind that vibranium absorbs kinetic energy, but I don't know anything about thermal energy. It might be possible for Supes to heat it up enough to melt it/ weaken it, but we probably shouldn't let him be able to straight up shatter on first contact.

Oh, of course! If Superman COULD break it, it would probably take him a good long while, although it would be easier to yank the shield off of Cap's arm and blast him with freeze breath.
