So basically, GabrielK, "The Freak" is just Mortimer's stage name? Makes sense to me. People gotta change their names all the time in the entertainment industry. I mean, look at John Wayne, for instance. Just how many people would find a cowboy named "Marion" believable? Pfft. "What kind of "sissy" name is that?" they would say. Besides, there are too many Mortimer's out there already. Much better to be "The Freak" - it has an air of distinction that the name Mortimer somehow lacks. KateTheFacetious
