Slightly ambiguous question, I know.
Put another way: if a hero was trying to prevent the blast doors of an underground bunker from closing until his bionic Dachushund could escape and they could get far away from the Evil Fortress before the Diabolical Device exploded, how many pounds of force could the thing be expected to take (end to end) before failing? In general. Not counting for the effects of cold rays, plasma beams, fire bolts, or x-ray lasers. Or x-ray vision for that matter. (a little more) Seriously, 400 pounds? 500 pounds? More? Maybe nothing out there, but maybe there actually is some info on this. Could I prop up the corner of a Chevy?
On a side note, given the recent advances in lighting technology, how long will it be before the Bat Signal changes over from incan to LED or HID or laser?
