Fountain of Youth

Stories of adventurers past have grown popular around the world, particulary their fruitless quest for the Fountain of Youth. Legends says bathing in its waters returns your youth, whilst others say drinking from it gives you untold strength. Most believed it to be just a story. Those people were wrong.

Suspicions on its existence first arose when Lady Laudible, one of the early superheroines, did not seem to age at all during her illustrious career. When she finally revealed that this was the source of her powers and youthful beauty, the search began for those hoping to gain similar benefits. Many theorised that the Fountain was hidden somewhere in Cambriana, the popular Mysterious Pocket Reality of the day, although this was ultimately debunked.

Despite attempts to keep the location unknown to the public succeeding, no political power has been reported to find the fountain. Thus it remains unprotected, available to anyone who may come across it. Such was the case with the Vile Ones, who used the fountain to become the most threatening Supervillain Team of their time.
