Comic book mega fan Marco Zorzin changes his middle name to ‘Superman’

A man whose middle name is Superman now holds the world record for the largest collection of memorabilia dedicated to the superhero. The enthusiasts collection currently amounts to nearly 2,000 items. Marco Zorzin's collection started seven years ago with some small metal figurines and has expanded over to include posters, clothing, action figures and a 6ft 10" tall statue of Superman. He said: “My wife always says it is getting out of hand but she just adds to my collection whenever she goes out and sees anything. “Most of the collection is in the living room but there are hints of it all through the house.” "It says my middle name is Superman on my driving licence – it’s official, I just thought it would be fun." Brazil-born Mr Zorzin moved to the UK in 1996, aged nine, and now lives with his wife Karine and daughters Lana and Lara in Wheathampstead, Herts.
