uk-teen-changes-name-to-captain-fantastic-more-powerful-than-a-family-guy-episode

Some of you may be familiar with the Family Guy episode pictured above. Oh, that Peter Griffin! What a wacky fellow! Well, it turns out that he’s not quite the wackiest. That title would go to Mr. George Garatt from Glastonbury, England. Hit the jump to find out why.

Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk and The Flash Combined.

That is what Garratt, a 19-year-old music student, had his name legally changed to through the Legal Deed Poll Service. How did he come up with the name? Turns out he didn’t copy Family Guy, but his friends may have.

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

A spokesman from the website said that crazy name change requests barely faze them, due to the sheer number they get, but there was something special about this one.

I know there certainly is something special about this Captain Fantastic kid, and I don’t necessarily mean the good kind of special.

    Jajaja, Cookigaki sees what Dylan-san did there. Very clever. You made Cookigaki feel better about Cookigaki’s self because Cookigaki is not a retard and has a better name and was not taken from Family Guy.
