Not only is spangled not an adjective, but a verb in the way that Stark uses it, but they aren't even slightly similar in meaning.

spangled is an adjective, adjectives are used to describe something. His suit is spangled. If he was using it as a verb it would be to spangle his suit. Adjectives are describing words, and verbs are actions. Go back to third grade.
Okay, obviously this is going nowhere. The point is that the joke is the same no matter what word you use to describe the suit. The joke is that Captain America says that Stark is all about style, and Stark retorts that he has a flashy suit. It's the same joke, all it is is paraphrased.
