* TalkingIsAFreeAction: In ''Thunderbolts'' #45, Moonstone and Hawkeye have a conversation that still leaves Carla with enough time to rescue their teammates, a time limit that is specifically given as fifteen seconds. When ''The Lightning Round'' gets to that point, they experiment with how long it would take to rattle out that dialogue as fast as possible. 25 seconds, it turns out.
