Pulling a Planet?

If the planet was moved out of its orbit (let's say it was moved pretty close to the moon) and you had to pick someone to move the planet back into its spot, who would you choose to do it? Please rank them in order. Everyone is given flight if they are unable to fly...let's say around Superman or Gladiator level.

Thor (no hammer)
Gladiator
Nova Prime (gets to amp if he wants)
Surfer
Colossonaut
Black Adam
Orion
Blue Marvel

Actually yeah, him too. He did that in Annihilators iirc.

Someone with powers beyond strength, so they could maintain our atmospheric shell while we hurtle through space. I want to live, not get rage-pushed the quickest.

Lol quiet Digi and post a proper answer!

Sorry, my bad.

"Lol, Surfer"

...better?

😂 rage pushed!

But yes. There's a lot to consider. Inertia for example. How'd the person bring the planet to a safe stop without causing giant tsunamis to sweep back and forth across the planet? That's why you're only real answers here are Nova or Norrin.

Well, your*, 😛 , but yes to the choices. Maybe Thor if he went full thunder god and invoked all of his weather powers to maintain stuff. But otherwise, yeah.

Let's not use real world logic here. We are still talking about comic boon characters.

So once again the well rounded characters get gimped so that the muscle heads can compete huh? For shame.

It's not real-world logic. It's everywhere logic. I've seen atmospheres needing to be maintained when traveling through space in science-fiction. Frankly, I just consider it bad writing if this is ignored. We happily ignore the infinite mass problem of lightspeed, for example, because it needs to be routinely broken in stories. We would, however, be upset if a writer decided that falling from a building suddenly didn't hurt, or if the clouds were drawn as perpetually purple. This is closer to the latter.

So if a writer did this and ignored the implications of throwing the Earth off its axis, basically saying "Hey, fanboys, look at this feat!" my response would probably be "you're a terrible person." Feats should serve the story and circumstances, not the other way around. I don't mind ludicrous feats, I only mind ludicrous writing and plot to produce ludicrous feats.

...

Now, since you just want a push-off, I'll throw you a bone:

"lol, Surfer"

That is, in fact, the correct answer anyway, even disregarding silly things like the human race's incapacity to survive being jettisoned into space. He'd accomplish it the easiest, or have the best chance at pulling it off.

So many possibilities. mmm

Cap would just tell the planet to move, and it would.

Here Carter let me paint the picture for you,

Nova: Worldmind, use the Nova Force to suspend basic laws of physics so that I can pull the planet back into orbit without adversely affecting it.

Worldmind: Ok Rider. Activating a gravimetric dampening field. Adverse physical effects will be averted. Feel free to start pulling.

Nova: Thank you.

The scans are just to show 1) how close Ego was to Earth and 2) that the WM can utilize the Nova Force to stop adverse physical effects on a planetary scale, even during rapid acceleration.

After seeing those scans, I'm switching my vote to Nova.

Since none of them can move it by pure force [and, taking actual physics into account, it would be devastating], based on other abilities, I'd rank them:

Surfer
Thor
Orion
Nova

everybody else.
