Um....nature converts urine back to water all the time. The water you drink has probably been through a number of creatures' bladders at one time or another. Basically run it through a distilling process, remove the salts and other impurities, and there's no problem.
Whether its stirile and safe to drink isn't really the issue. He made Johnny drink his pee, ok, just the hydrogen dioxide separated from his pee, but stll, that H20 was inside Reed's bladder. Knowing Reed, probably not less than 5 minutes ago.
He wouldn't have been in trouble had it been a DUNE reference.
And Jesus, ultimate Reed. EVER HEARD OF NASA? They have these suits that have done this for over 40 years. Look into it. I hate ultimate Reed. he's like regular Reed if he were a moron who never does any research or planning.
"So, new ground rules for the Tower. One: No more making various drinks out of your bodily fluids."
"Look, you people can not put some antiquated "Rules" on science. It must move forward in order to-"
"How did making ketchup our your own blood and semen benefit science in any possible way? The only people you benefited are either in prison or on the Casual Encounters section of Craigslist."
"Two: No more messing with Ben by saying you can fix him"

"Ben! I've finally completed a cure for your transformation! Just stand in this machine and hold on!"
~Ben excitedly stands in the machine as it powers up, it build more and more power until....it fails~
"Well Ben....it would work...if you wanted it enough. I guess you just want to stay as an ugly deformed rock monster. Jesus, that's what I get for trying."
~flash cut~
"Three: No more making robots of people. It's getting really creepy honey."
"I don't see what you me-"
~Robo-Wanda walks in~
"REED ~BEEP~ I AM HERE ~BEEP~ TO USE MY CHAOS MAGIC ~BEEP WHIR~ ON YOUR BODY. ~BEEP~ WILL YOU MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE AGAIN~ BEEP~"
"I...uh haven't really worked out all the kinks...."
"Oh you've worked out some kinks alright!"
~studio audience laughs~
"And finally: Remember to pick the kids up from now on. Need I remind you of what happened last time you forgot to spend time with Franklin?"
~flash cut~
"Daddy...daddy doesn't love me...."
"Yeah...that sucks kid. Sup I'm Onslaught, wanna hang out!"
"Well....my daddy"
"I've got tons of candy."
"Daddy never mentioned strangers with candy! Yaaaay"
I didn't immediately realize this was supposed to be [i]Ultimate[/i] Fantastic Four - the artist is seriously going for a 616 Reed, there.
And yes, recycling urine has been done for decades. I thought the issues that ended with them doing things like testing miniaturization-beams as a solution to urban crowding were a bit over-the-top, but that's better than this silliness.
Besides, since when does Ultimate Reed act so badly socialized?
Reed Richard, bases major decisions on technically untested mathematical theories, sides with completely unethical laws, and now ticks you into drinking his urine(Well, what was once his Urine). Anymore proof needed this guy's a jerk?
