Artist Christopher Wietrick wants Hutchinson to follow in the footsteps of Metropolis, Illinois and lay claim to the Superman-related name, reports Comic Book.

Both towns are famous for their meteor showers and have similar population sizes, reasons that Wietrick is putting forward in his case. He has also claimed that Hutchinson is the shape of the Superman logo. He has attracted attention from local news stations but the Facebook page is yet to reach 500 likes. &amp;gt; Staines officially changes name to Staines-upon-Thames  &amp;gt; Oregon town Boring pairs with Perthshire village named Dull  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
