Captain Fantastic Is Our New Hero!

A 19-year-old Brit has changed his name, legally, to Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined. The former George Garratt says he "wanted to be unique," but sadly his grandmother is no longer talking to him. He's believed to have the longest name in the world, longer than Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams, who was born in Texas in 1984. He's not the first kid born this year to have a superheroic name — a New Zealand couple was legally barred from naming their son 4Real, so they named him Superman instead. [Telegraph]
