Got another Captain question...

Hey guys, this one'll be quick...
If you recruit The Captain on turn four and at the start of the combat phase use his power and give him the name Dr Strange, after this resolves, am I able to use Essence of Zom? Did I officially recruit a Dr Strange this turn?
I didnt do it but I raised up the question this weekend and no one was sure of the answer.

The Captain reads "At the start of the combat phase, choose a name that The Captain doesn't have. He gains that name, and then say all his names. If you do so correctly, draw a card.

Essence of Zom reads - Play only from your resource row and only if you recruited Dr. Strange this turn.
Search your deck for a plot twist card, reveal it, and put it into your hand.

Essence of Zom looks back at the moment you recruited. When you recruited The Captain, he was just the plain old captain.

This is a fairly simple question to answer.

Did you recruit Dr. Strange, or did you recruit a character that gained the name Dr. Strange? Game always look back to see what you did so in short no you can use Essence of Zom.

Furthermore, cards like Albert, Earth-50211 (who gets the name Wolverine as soon as he's in play) wouldn't count towards having recruited a Wolverine.

It's not just that Captain doesn't get the name Strange until the combat phase. It's that he doesn't have it when you initially 'reveal' the character you're going to recruit from your hand.
