As if Freddie weren't young enough and saddled with a "Junior" in his superhero name (and isn't Billy, his "dad" in the equation, actually YOUNGER than he is?!), in this story, he falls into the Fountain of Youth and turns into a super-BABY. At least he didn't start talking like Sugar & Spike and kept his marbles.
How did he get out of it? Well, there's this other Fountain of Old Age, see, and after watching the immortal conquistador commit happy suicide drinking from it and turning into a skeleton, he takes his own swig. Don't drink too deep, Junior! In epilogue, he throws Sivana into the youth pool and turns him into a boy, entreating him to grow up better, this time. That is INSANE (and was probably ignored in future stories).
