tbf he was only filling a tiny bit of the other one up anyway from memory?

e: turns out i have the memory of a newspaper spider man but it looks like that one is broken already, the chalices appear to turn from gold to grey when they break

I'm really hoping Kala just slaps the new chalice out of his hands the moment he runs in with it.

When a former Roman Emperor said that he had a spare I pictured him knowingly running to its exact location atop a pedestal befitting its importance.

Nah, it's just tossed in a heap somewhere.


Also, I'm pretty sure those aren't rubies on that grey cube. That cube is a Contra boss and those are its red weak spots.

Looks like just finding the chalice was enough to un-gray his hair. Perhaps he doesn't really need the water from the fountain of youth, and it's really the chalice doing all the work.

There's some pretty solid evidence. When Jameson stole one of Iron Man's old suits, the sunday colorist consistently color it like his old armor from the comics; the weekday colorist colored it like modern Iron Man. And the lead time for sunday strips is longer so it's not like they couldn't have seen it.

Weekday colorist is presumably an intern or some other bottom-of-the-totem pole guy working for a comics syndicate, an incredibly dying industry kept alive just enough to keep cranking out Rex Morgan, M.D. He's probably doing the jobs of three different people who have long since been laid off. He has no time whatsoever, and just tries to make sure he doesn't make Spider-Man orange before shipping it out.

Wouldn't that be a Revisor of Youth fed by the Stream of Youth, then? I guess I was assuming it was a natural fountain (like from the legend) and therefore spring fed.

For reasons I don't understand, the weekday colouring is done by the syndicate while the Sunday colouring is done by the actual artist. So the Sunday colours are correct and the weekday ones are the best guess of someone who doesn't read the Sunday strips and isn't paid enough to care.

Oh no, he'll stop the stream and Tyrannus will age - but so will Kala. Now there's no one left to rule Subterrania and Uncle Melvin will have to stay :(
