That's the thing. The book didn't have anything on panel about them moving it. They were trying, but failing. That's why I emphasized maybe slowed it from spiraling out of control faster.
The only time we saw the earth move back was in the Kyle scene.
They moved it as the planet was already spiraling out of orbit but they couldn't keep it in orbit as they were weakened due to getting killed and resurrected and earth was in disbalance as every drop of water was sent into space.
That's why they needed Wally to absorb the kinetic energy they were generating to move the earth so that it doesn't rips apart by the pressure. What was the point of him absorbing the kinetic energy if they couldn't move the earth in the first place?
^I could see Namor doing something similar, but to a very low-performing Hal.
Hal's a notorious underachiever at times, but like you say, all of Major Force's battles paint a picture of someone who's above Namor by a slight/moderate margin.
Not sure what you're trying to say in your first paragraph because it's all over the place. They may have not been 100 percent, but the three looked fine. At least we know Supes was as seen in a panel where he said the sun was strong that day.
Just because Wally was absorbing kinetic energy from the stress they were applying, doesn't mean they moved it. That's why I said maybe slowed its spiraling away from orbit. The only scene with any indication about the earth being moved was the one with Kyle.

I don't see why they would need Flash to absorb kinetic energy if they're not moving it, but this feat really shouldn't be that big of a deal in this thread.
Genmanae directly said that they were weaker and will not get strong enough in time. Unless you try to take it as Kyle being above Superman, j'onn and Diana combined, which would be total BS.
That doesn't makes any sense whatsoever. If they didn't move it, why would there be any stress on the surface of the planet? Why would they say that they were failing to keep it in orbit when it was already moved out of orbit due to the water displacement? You have to go all negative to say that they didn't move the planet, just slowing it down. That wasn't said anywhere either FYI. All it said that they were failing to keep it in orbit.
Always thought it as a wacky feat for Kyle.. And partly Manitou.
Gamemnae's comment was in regards to them being a threat to him. They were also just resurrected at that point. Etrigan and the purple chick gave them some time to recover however. We also see a scene a few pages later where the gang is chilling and Supes stating he needed just a few minutes more to recover.. The sun being strong that day or whatever..
It must already been moving hence the need for them to pull it back. I think the scene where Supes says it's back in control before the part he said "we were losing it" meant it's back in orbit.

Superman and Hal. Don't know about your calcs though. I know it "weighed more"(or had more mass)than the one that involves these 3 since it didn't lose water.
