Super Everything

Many children have an alter ego. Or two. Charlie, on the other hand, has--wait, how many people are there in the world? (Don't forget to include imaginary characters.)

"I'm Superman! No, I'm Plasticman! I'm Wonder Woman! I'm Santa Claus! I'm Superchicken!"

A typical conversation:
"Charlie, would you like some bubble bath?"
"I'm Becky."
"Becky, would you like some bubble bath?"
"I'm a baby."
"Are you baby Charlie or baby Becky?"
"I'm baby Superman."
"Baby Superman, would you like some bubble bath?"
"Oh yes, please. Baby Superman loves bubble bath."

On one hand, it can be a little difficult to keep current. On the other hand, I don't think the kid has ever been bored in his life.
