On 11/2, the Soviet Union was on the verge of annihilating us, and we were more than prepared to return the favor. Then that enormous, tentacled abomination teleported into New York. If it hadn't arrived when it did, we would all be ash. Does it ever end? Of course it does. Because we are all in a tunnel and every tunnel ends. It ends with light.

Trivia
- Throughout Light Fear of Lightning, the fifth episode of Watchmen and the first to really focus on Wade as a character, three different versions of the song Careless Whisper play in the background at separate points in the episode. Thematically this represents that Wade still hasn't recovered from the trauma he experienced in the 11/2 massacre thirty-four years prior.[2]
