No the GL came in later after they had already started the Pull, They did the work against the Sun's gravity first. It was too much for them in the long run tho. Imagine the sun's gravity with something as massive as the Earth. That is alot of weight. by right's no one in comics should be able to do that unless they are pre crisis or a powergem user with extreme knowlege. Or they have cosmic Powers.
