Moving a Planet in MU-616

The other day talking to a friend, I tried to mention Marvel characters who have moved a planet outside of it's orbital trench and I couldn't think of any, except Ego.

I have read a lot of Marvel comics, but there is always something one might not be aware of.

So for all the marvel experts

Who has moved a planet in MU 616?

No sky father's and above tiers please.

Thor, Gladiator, and Herc.

Now create a thread called "DC characters that have destroyed a planet". 😉

I'm asking out of real curiosity Carver.

Can you give me issue #?

And I'm talking Planets not Planetoids

When Thor and Herc was arm wrestling.

When Gladiator was moving a planet size object that was blocking a star lane. By the way, I was just messing with ya buddy.

I know, thanks 🙂

Moving planets is for wussies, destroying them gets you more respect 😛

Batman and Superman have a funny moment about Planet Moviing in the JL😄OOM movie.

No not that kind of planet moving you dirty minded bastards...

Only among people ignorant of physics (it actually would take more energy to move the Earth out of its orbit around the sun than to destroy it, of course for different planets in with different compositions/densities/orbits around different stars it could be different).

Anyway Doctor Strange was moving some when he fought Death, the Celestials were throwing them at Thanos when he had the IG, Hiro-Kala moved one to another universe and was moving it through space, etc.

Technically speaking , according to RL physics , a guy like Superman or Gladiator shouldn't even be able to move an Earth-sized planet , on the basis of their strength alone .

Under SoD method when something in fiction defies the laws of physics, you don't assume physics as they are IRL don't apply in these cases (unless explicitly stated that they don't, for example a reality warper changing them), but instead we assume that there are some unexplained "extra physics" that we don't understand to account for these events. Just like if a bird or plane is flying, it doesn't mean that gravity doesn't apply to it, just that there is something else countering the gravity.

Which is why I mentioned "based on strength alone" . There's an explanantion which has been floated around by comic fans , sci-fi fans and a couple of real scientists themselves that Superman can push a planet via a form of "tactile telekinesis" . Pseudo-scientific , but an explanation nonetheless .

Not to mention incidences like Rulk lifitng Thor's hammer in space because of its weightlessness , yet somehow being able to "talk" in vacuum as well indicates a severe lack of understanding and comprehension of basic science by comic book writers .

I'd chalk that last one up to Thor's extranormal senses

100% agree. I reckon it is a poor argument when people say oh lets throw real physics in the trash, it has no bearing in comics.

there are some double standards there.

In a comic world gravity is taken to be equal to what it is in real life 9.8N/kg. When you are reading for example someone lifting a car you know the car weighs about 2 tons in the real world and therefore in comics must weight 2 tons (due to gravity) and the fact that the characters is lifting something that you can personally relate to be being heavy is due to extra unexplained physics and of course superpowers .

I guess what i am saying is real physics and logic are applicable to comics as well.

Superman. Now be quiet.

How about when Celestials were casually tossing them as weapons?

Superman's done far more impressive and ridiculous things than that with this strength.

I mentioned the Celestials

Sounds about right:

What issue is that from? I'd like to pick it up.
