Marco Zorzin loves his hero so much he even changed his middle name to Superman, no joke. -

The Brazil born lives in Great Britain with his wife and two daughters. BTW his daughters are named after Superman characters. -

But this is not why the 30 year old holds a record... -

...he has flown into the record books for having the largest collection of memorabilia dedicated to his hero. -

Marco Superman Zorzin currently has a staggering, 2,000 items and counting, including a 6ft 10in tall statue of the superhero. -

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.” -
8.
Most items in his collection come from his friends or family spotting them in shops and online, as well as Christmas and birthday presents. -

Marco said: “I have always been a fan since I was young. I remember watching the films with my dad and waiting for Superman to come out [...] I had 1,500 individual items, that was the official number last year, but I think it’s at least 2,000 now. I have pretty much everything, I don’t think there’s one category that I don’t have.” His favourite items in his collection are a detailed statue of Superman, as played by Henry Cavill in the films Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and his massive statue of Superman from the comics. -

“It says my middle name is Superman on my driving licence – it’s official, I just thought it would be fun.” If you don't believe it... -
