Meet Captain Fantastic

By Alex in Baby & Kids, Comics & Cartoons on Nov 5, 2008 at 1:54 pm

We’ve featured a few stories about people changing their names into something outrageous, usually for protests and such, but this is the first: a teenager has changed his name into his comic book heroes!

George Garratt from Glastonbury has become Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk And The Flash Combined.

The 19-year-old music student made the change "for a bit of a laugh", through a legally-recognised website.

He said: "I decided on a superheroes theme and whenever my friends offered up suggestions to me, I added them."

    He should have changed it to “Douchey McDoucheBag,” which is shorter and means roughly the same thing. :)

    Isn’t that similar to the name Peter Griffin called his boat on Family Guy?

    Oh I’m sure his parents are so proud.

    “This is my son, the dickhead.”

    Yeah. I wonder if he can hook with that girl who didn’t want to dissect a chicken wing so she changed her name to protest it. They’d make an interesting couple fit for a reality tv show.

    No they wouldn’t, Ali. The names would be so long, by the time they finished the opening credits, the show would be over.

    But now people just call him the douche bag formally known as George

    the worst part is the word ‘faster’. Of those people, only flash and superman are known for superspeed. And combining superheroes doesn’t make for a higher total speed!

    He should have said ‘better’ or something. But faster? Yikes

    Spider-Man should be hyphenated. *sigh*
    Gotta admire his dedication (on some level) but the fella should have done his research. It’s mistakes like that that just wind up geeks.

    Nice! I wanted to take that name, but now I can just be named “Faster than Captain Fantastic”. Ah!

    I just couldn’t imagine giving a job to someone with that stupid of a name. I know, one shouldn’t be influenced by such things… but we are.
