Call me Captain Fantastic, please
A UK teenager has officially changed his name to 'Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk And The Flash Combined.'
Formerly known as George Garratt, Captain Fantastic has registered his new name with deed poll ... though most people still call him t**t.
The 19-year-old music student from Glastonbury (that could explain a lot) said he decided to include several superheroes after asking his friends for suggestions.
Captain Fantastic is now legally entitled to use his name on bank accounts and his passport, but says family members refuse to use his new name, his gran has stopped speaking to him altogether.
A spokesman from The Legal Deed Poll Service, said: "We get so ma
George, sorry Captain, could also find himself in the record books.
With 81 characters he should take the Guinness World Record as being the longest name. The former record holder was Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams, with 57 letters (if I typed it right)

Teenager changes name to Captain Fantastic
A teenager has changed his name to Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined.
The record-breaking name, now thought to be the world's longest, was the idea of music graduate George Garratt, 19.
He changed his name by deed poll online for £10 last week.
Captain Fantastic said: "I wanted to be unique.
"I decided upon a theme of superheroes."
Captain Fantastic joins a number of people with unusually long names, including Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams, a girl born in Texas in 1984.
The teenager, from Glastonbury, Somerset, added that while he thought the new name was "crazy", his grandmother was no longer speaking to him.
Last month in Italy, a couple was banned from naming their son Friday - Venerdi - because the name could expose him to ridicule.
Named after the manservant of Daniel Defoe's famous novel Robinson Crusoe, the court ordered the boy's name be changed to Gregorio, named after the saint's day on which he was born.
In February, a judge in New Zealand made a young girl a ward of court so she could change her name from Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.
Other banned names include Sex Fruit, Keenan Got Lucy and Yeah Detroit.
In New Zealand again, last year a couple was banned from naming their baby 4Real, so they chose Superman instead.
