 * As a frequent editor of video game related articles, I first ran into on the article Marvel: Avengers Alliance, adding gameguide material. Checking their edits, I reverted this one, the unnecessary use of the word "impact". Checking today, I noticed a new user,, also using * before and after in their edit summary. Noticing the same edit style patterns, I notified  on their talk page.  responded, saying this is all very similar to . I have to agree, this all very similar; from the topic, to their style and their unconstructive attitude.  soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 16:40, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

I am just curious and wondering if User:Mark Rhodes 12 is a sock of User:Atomic Meltdown or somehow connected? The new account seems to do a very similar type of editing on comics character templates, and was registered just a few days after User:Banana Mutant was blocked as yet another sock, and the account's first edit is very suspicious. The user denied this on my talk page, but this may be a WP:DUCK case. Hopefully, I am wrong! BOZ (talk) 19:17, 11 May 2020 (UTC) BOZ (talk) 19:17, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

The username "Mark Rhodes 13" is almost exactly the same as, a confirmed sockpuppet of Rymax23. This first occured to me when Mark Rhodes 13 asked on my talk page whether the Marvel Comics character Gambit should have his own navbox, with the template Gambit having been created by Mark Rhodes 12 and then deleted last year. Like Rymax23 and their socks, Mark Rhodes 13 is a frequent editor of comics-related articles. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:05, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
