Foxboy: Well, yes, the Earth would take 79ap Strength to move, and if you assume it also has that for all physical stats a baby with the minimum 1AP character stats (which would still be a superbaby, since it could lift 50lb. overhead) could indeed do 1 RAP of damage to the earth, reducing its structural integrity by half... if he rolled 195 by continually getting doubles on (Edit: 2d10.) He could even do 2 RAPs of damage, cutting Earth's damage capacity to 1/4, if he got 205, but that's as far as it goes. You'd have to actually have 79 Strength or be able to "push" to it by spending Hero Points (which I'm still not clear on, but doubt can stretch it more than one or two AP worth) to actually move the earth, but doing so wouldn't require a roll because just moving it doesn't do damage. (Gotta love comic book physics!) 70s Superman really was crazy strong. The thing is, "Superbaby knocks earth from its orbit! The end is nigh, say scientists! President calls on heroes for a solution! What will you do now?" sounds like an interesting superhero story to tell, to me, so I don't see that as being a problem. Besides, if Superbaby can stonewall Darkdeath Evilman for the days it takes to train a nobody schlub into a new Unlosing Ranger, she probably could knock the world a little loopy.
As for pocket knives... I'd guess most would be +0 or +1AP Strength, 1AP body. Nothing difficult or expensive about that, just a really simple Gadget.
Valles: Ah, yeah, that. One of the rules for any campaign I GM will be to make sure your character can function as a part of a team, mechanically and psychologically. Refer back to "if everyone works together to tell an awesome story, everyone wins" for why.
Bluemage: For a forum game (probably on SV to avoid eating Bob's page views, and drum up another 2-4 players for a party) it would be more a matter of "as soon as everyone responds, or (24hrs | 48hrs | some agreed upon period) has passed" than a strict schedule per se. That said, I would prefer for it to move faster than Ian's tends to, though the group there now at least seems to get along well enough. (I joined the game about a month IC time after that, but a year or so RL.) My own schedule is too irregular to really lock something down to be a solid Game Night block.
Edit: Fixed stupid dice size
