This user has been referred to as the Mortal Kombat Vandal by editors posting at Serge's talk page where various editors have been having to ask for help repeatedly concerning some of the above accounts as well as numerous IPs from the 45.247.0.0/16 range which are clearly him. One of the accounts, Saaed Abbas impersonated an admin, "I'm Saaed Abbas, formerly known as Hussein Sonic, and I'm an Admin here on the English Wikipedia."

Hussein Sonic is the oldest account that I have seen so far and none of them are stale. Most accounts are already blocked or soon will be. Requesting checkuser to confirm the above accounts and perfom sleeper check. Based on my statement, I'm wanting to anon block the /16 range for a month or two to deter him and relieve the editors dealing with the disruption he is causing, if possible. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  17:51, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

 * ✅, no sleepers. There's a bunch of collateral if you block the /16, so I'd only softblock it for a couple of weeks at the most. Katietalk 18:15, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Katie. Range blocked two weeks, tags already applied so closing.

When I asked a now-confirmed sock of the master, what this edit meant he responded that it was the batman theme. The sock seemed fixated on that shortly before he was blocked. 1, 2 (and summary), 3 and 4 are a few. There are several other indicators such as language usage. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  14:35, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

 * - Checking Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Hussein Sonic there's no other userpage that such a userbox could have accidentally been copied from. There's no option but to take the admission at face value. Please indef the sock. Cabayi (talk) 18:46, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
