Handling this is simplicity in and of itself. After all, V from the first had put one very specific spell onto the Spork, and yes, later versions had the spell removed, V still had a copy of that first prototype. V held it up, and walked over to the challenger. "Those who originally commissioned me for this inane bit of crafting doubtlessly recognize my first submission, but I will not ask you to simply take the word of credible witnesses, for that would require a lengthy court case featuring those two idiot lawyers, taking at least fifty panels. And frankly, none of us have that kind of time at the moment. So instead, I ask you to turn your model over and look carefully at the underside. Then do the same with my prototype." Which V then handed over. "Feel free to read outloud what you find on the underside of my design, I am certain you will find the evidence sufficiently compelling."
Because on the underside of the spork was etched six simple words. "I prepared Explosive Runes This Morning."
The spell causes the item to blow up in the face - and in this case hands - of whoever read the spell, either out loud or to themselves, other than the caster. It had long since become V's standard method for handling disputes.
