A teenager has claimed to have the longest name in the world - Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined.

Captain Fantastic - formerly George Garratt - changed his name by deed pool "for a bit of a laugh" through the Legal Deed Poll Service which charged £10 for the legally-certified deed poll.

Captain Fantastic, a 19-year-old music student from Glastonbury, Somerset, said his name beat the Guinness Book of Records' longest personal name registered on a birth certificate by 24 letters.
