The entire world knows Michael Phelps as the most decorated Olympian ever. His accomplishments are simply unparalleled and perhaps his records will remain unbeaten for a long, long time. Furthermore, the swimming legend is an inspiration for millions of people around the world. However, for his five-year-old son Boomer, Michael Phelps is a DC superhero.

The Olympic superhero is one of the very few athletes in the world whose stardom is beyond the sport of swimming. People might forget swimming, for instance, but the name Michael Phelps will always be remembered. Such is his legacy and if growing up, Boomer wishes to be like his father, perhaps it’ll be the most challenging thing he would ever go through.

For Boomer, his father is Aquaman

23 Olympic golds, 39 world records, greatest swimmer ever. The five-year-old Boomer calling his father Aquaman only makes sense. When asked about does little Boomer understands how great his father is? Michael said, “He calls me Aquaman. But I don’t think he fully gets it yet. He always says he’s like, can you beat that person? And I say, Look back in the day, yes. Not anymore, though.”
