But the good guys capture Doom (no, not that Doom), and torture him into revealing the cure (editor's note: apparently, if you don't coddle your audience by putting up a neon "TORTURE IS BAD" sign in your story, you're ineligible for the Best Director Oscar. So, unknown writer and artist Richard Crater, you'll not be able to view Seth MacFarlane's no-doubt brilliant hosting in person.).
And that cure?
And it's from a book called Science Comics, so it must be correct, right?
Radiated water for everyone!!
From Science Comics #6 (1940)

What could possibly go wrong?
Isn't UV radiation supposed to be one of the more efficient treatments for safe drinking water? And don't they also use that to "sterilize" meat products and make them shelf stable as well?
I haven't checked specifically, but I'm sure I've heard both of those in the headlines within the past few years (though I don't know enough about them so say "yea" or "nay" either way).
