Simply put, this user's edits consist almost entirely of vandalism in which the IPs go to comic book-related articles and change the words "superhero" and "supervillain" to "megahero" or "megavillain".([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]). The user has been warned repeatedly on more than one of their IP addresses, yet they continue to vandalise such articles ([13], [14], [15], [16]).

I sincerely doubt this is a coincidence for two main reasons:

• "Mega-villain" is a very specific phrase to vandalise articles with. To my knowledge, no popular meme exists that fits this description.
• All of the IP addresses can be traced to New Jersey, a province in the United States. DarkKnight2149 23:50, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All the IPs are stale. The people from New Jersey will be fascinated to hear that they live in a province of the U.S. :-) Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:44, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User vandalised the Killer Croc article, this time by changing the word "supervillain" to "furry" ([17]). IP address is from New Jersey, just like the other IPs. DarkKnight2149 21:42, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: The user's IP address changes often (the only consistent IP being 98.219.220.18), so a rangeblock might be needed. That's just a suggestion, as I am no administrator. DarkKnight2149 21:45, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
