Well, one positive came from this thread: carver took DickTaint69 off ignore.The universe is in harmony once again. 👆
He sent me a PM; having learnt my lesson last time, I won't post it.
But he professed how mistaken he was, and that it was all to make me jelly. Even the segues with Bran.
ESPECIALLY the segues with Bran.

Actually, he didn't say strength in the OP, but then people categorized it as a strength and didn't want any other examples of moving planets. It's all pointless because pushing planets is not a put strength feat.
In comics it is usually treated as a strength feat. You don't really see people going "wow Superman your manipulation of gravitons is superb".
Physically pushing a planet shouldn't be possible, but in comics it is.

Unless otherwise stated in the source material, I doubt writers ever consider graviton manip. when they have characters preforming feats like this.

Just my opinion. srug

Carver, let's all take a breather here.Are you seriously, honestly, trying to cheerlead BAV against Galan? I mean, it's all fun and games - Lord knows I love a cheerleader - but this is...really weird.
And kinda sad.
Clarifying a logical argument that shouldn't need clarifying in the first place isn't close to cheerleading, nice attempt at distraction. You got the scan now?

It's fine you want to consider it a strength feat and guess that the writers consider it a strength feat, but it still isn't a physical strength feat. What is he bracing himself against? Why doesn't he simple burrow into the terrain? If we are going to get all scientific when we calculate the weight of the planet and force applied, we also have to admit the character is flying and not lifting physically.

BT dubs, carver:There is a search function here on KMC. You can then do an 'advanced search'; (may be technical for you, but bear with me).
Search for 'Superman', by user 'DarkSaint85'. And see how many wins I give him.
Just because I have read OWAW more than four times, and actually understood it the first time, doesn't make me a fanboy.
This post is for celey, as well as any others who have been associating me with Kal-Qaeda.
You have invoked my name.
Hmm.. Could have fooled me. It's fine to be a Superman fan. Not one my faves, but I'm sort of a fan and have been keeping up with the character since the 90's(and still do every now and then). Nuttin wrong with that.
