being able to push against the gravitational accelleration the sun puts on the earth.
The comic scans give no indication that they were pulling the earth out of a descent into the sun. Flash expresses concern about being flung out into the void, and Superman comments that the villain pulling against them seems to be getting stronger. It could well be that the earth was being sent
out of the solar system and they were pushing it back in. It could be that the earth was being sent in a straight line into the sun. It could be that the earth was nudged into an orbital path to collide with another planet. The two pages of scans that I've seen don't say and I haven't been able to find the rest of the comic.
All we know is that Superman and Hal Jordan together, over an unspecified amount of time, pushed Earth back into orbit, to correct for an unspecified amount of deviation in an unspecified direction.
There's not enough information in those scans to come to any useful conclusions.
However, like I've said a couple times now and am getting bored repeating...even if that information were available it would still not be meaningful because Superman has consistently demonstrated that when he does these massive lifting feats he's ignoring or alter inertia when he does. Or your "invulnerabilty field" as you're calling it. The method that he's using when he does these things is
not usable as a direct attack because it renders the entire object exempt from inertial forces. When I punch you, it only hurts if the the inertia of your body resists the force being applied to a very small portion of it. If I apply similar force to every atom in your body simultaneously, I might move you...but you're not going to be injured by it.
This is why, like in the
frozen lake feat I described earlier, the ice doesn't break or fall apart. He's telekinetically moving the
whole thing, not merely applying lifting force with his body.
This is described, for example, here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_and_abilities_of_Superman"Superman's ability to fly under his own power is explained with the concept of "self telekinesis", an invisible telekinetic field that allows him to lift himself off the ground. Any objects that Superman touches are also enveloped by the field and this allows him to move them with the force of his will."That Cartoon they shown with the alien and the piston
is the confirmation but I don't know why you didn't notice that.
I did. I also sourced it, provided quotes and responded. But you appear to not be reading my posts very closely.
Do you confirm Lord Bucket that he can INDEED pull off the Infinite Mass punch?
No. My entire position in this thread from page one has been that they drew on source material that contradicts the popular portrayal of the character.
The Infinite mass punch is the key to that. Do you confirm Lord Bucket that he can INDEED pull off the Infinite Mass punch? and that he can move at 6 times the speed of light?
The problem is that physics breaks down here. If he is able to exceed the speed of light, then yes in theory he should be able to apply an infinite amount of force. However, Goku is also able to exceed the speed of light, and in theory should also be able to do an infinite mass punch.
But both of their
observable feats are not consistent with the interpretation that they can apply infinite force, nor that they're durable enough to withstand the accelerations involved with moving at light speed and hitting something.
This is a limitation of the cartoon physics we're working with. Which is, among other reasons, why I have repeatedly given examples of specific feats showing what the characters are and are not capable of.
Lord Bucket actually has no problem with Allstar Superman winning.
...which, since you realize that...bewilders me that you're still arguing about Allstar material.
If Goku COULD move 2x the speed of light he certainly would never dare to try.
Back on page 2 I gave three different examples demonstrating that Goku is FTL. Even the death battle video agreed he was FTL.
