I had presumed that “golly gumbucks” was meant to be an obvious substitute for something much less socially acceptable.

In the Spider-man/Power Pack mini issue #1, a cosmetic company has accidently created a De-Aging chemical which the Vulture steals. Spidey is bathed in it in trying to stop the Vulture and become 12 years or so old again. Hilarity ensues until it is discovered that salt water reverses the effects.

Only magic or Mojo-tech will appropriately shrink the clothes.

The X-Babies in X-Men Annual 10 were de-aged X-Men.
The X-Babies from Excalibur Special: Mojo Mayhem were clones Mojo created because the real X-Men were (apparently) dead.

I thought the X-Babies were clones, though.

Was Atom getting de-aged in Zero Hour really alien super tech, though? I always thought it was Interaction with odd bits of chronal energy/odd physics, or, if you prefer, the ever-popular “We should really mess with somebody other than the JSA at some point in this storyline’

How about the magic mushrooms in Ranma 1/2 which rejuvenated you according to size (eating a 5 cm mushroom would make you 5 years old, etc.)? ;)

Golly Gumbucks is the greatest phrase ever.

I prefer the X-Babies to the JLA Babies. The JLA Babies just look like SD/chibi characters.

Only Chris Claremont could have made Lil’ Wolvie say something that no kid has ever said, at least not in the past 75 years. I mean, ‘Golly Gumbucks”?
