I wouldn't be surprised if an extended version of this issue had 6-8 more pages of horrible ring-based exchanges between Gi and Kwame in the back of that van.

Gi: "Are you looking for the RINGleader?"

Kwame: "We should look for our beaRINGs!"

Gi: "I give that suggestion a RINGing endorsement!"

Kwame: "I'm glad you didn't find it boRING!"

Gi: "Hey, are you a fan of the Lord of the RINGs?"

Kwame: "Sorry, that doesn't RING any bells!"

Kowalski: "YES, WE GET IT, YOUR RINGS ARE SUPERPOWERED, JUST KNOCK US OUT AND GET THIS OVER WITH, PLEASE AND THANK YOU!"

Wouldn't slowing the Hulk down to 1/50th of his normal speed also suggest that relative to the Hulk, Bucky would appear to be sped up to 50 times his normal speed? I'm not sure how that works, but I do really like the idea of Bucky trying to have a sensible conversation while sounding like a coked-up Alvin of the Chipmunks to poor, bewildered Hulk.

"We will never forget about you, Dryad." "...It's 'Druid', actually." "'Dread'?" "'Druid'." "'Dry-Eyed'?" "It's 'DRUID', it's my legal name, 'Anthony Druid'!" "'Drooled'?" "'DRUID'! You know what, just leave me here with Belasco!" "Wait, who are you again? You look kind of familiar. Were you in the Defenders?"

"I am going to put you where you belong and also remove you from the face of this planet!"

Wait, what?

Okay, so ONE stands for "Office of National Emergencies". That's not the worst acronym. What do we suppose ZER*O stands for? "Zap Every Rampant Opossum"? "Zebras Emit Radiant Opalescence"? "Ztarfox, Eros, REALLY OBNOXIOUS"?

That last one was kind of a stretch, but on the other hand, where's the lie?

"Uh, hey, this is Silver Samurai, for the good and the glory and the honour and everything. Hey listen, I did this cool backstab-thing to get rid of a double-agent, but I didn't see what she was holding, and... well, was the little girl important? Did we need her for anything? Little girls can just shrug off gaping wounds, right? Hello? Is this thing on?"

"Oh, hey, look who made it to the big red button, it's Discount Deadpool. Storm, you wanna just zap him with lightning? Tony, a repulsor blast, maybe? Wanda, you want to magic him away? Vision, punch him into soup or something? Should I use my amazing cosmic powers to incinerate him?"

"No, Sam's pontificating. Let him have this, he really needs it."
