I have added more evidence now, please do not remove the request without evaluating the evidence. Requesting the CU as CosmicEmperor normally have multiple socks active at the same time.
- Behavioral evidence
- Heavy use of Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions, CosmicEmperor and all his socks used Teahouse heavily: Comparison between last known sock Greek Legend and Marvellous show equal use of teahouse
- In his first few edits at Teahouse, Greek Legend and Marvellous ask the same question under the same section heading: Greek Legend (diff), Marvellous Spider-Man (diff)
- Cosmic Emperor and almost all of his socks renamed their user account or signed differently: CosmicEmperor formerly LoverBoyInGarden, Greek Legend formerly as Captain Spark, Marvellous Spider-Man formerly as Rainbow Archer, The Avengers formerly Tarzán2000
- Misses the space before signatures: CosmicEmperor (diff 1), (diff 2), (diff 3), (diff 4), (diff 5), The Avengers (diff 1), (diff 2), (diff 3), Greek Legend (diff 1), (diff 2), Marvellous Spider-Man (diff)
- Heavy interest in Comics and Marvel characters and most of his socks are named after Comics or Marvel character as is Marvellous Spider-Man, the names he alternatively signs are also named after them, examples: The Avengers, Captain Spark, Greek Legend, Marvellous Spider-Man etc etc
- Almost all of his socks have been active on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion: Comparison between three of them
- Interaction with Human3015: CosmicEmperor (71 pages), The Avengers (65 pages), Galaxy Kid (62 pages), Marvellous Spider-Man (47 pages)
- Most of his socks requested rollback permissions: The Avengers (diff), Greek Legend (diff), Marvellous Spider-Man (diff)
- In last SPI against Greek Legend, User:Mike V added some evidence, I am adding the evidence along those lines below, see how Marvellous Spider-Man compares
- Greek Legend, The Avengers and Marvellous Spider-Man have listed user pages for deletion using twinkle. The rationales provided in all the cases have been abrupt sentences with only a few words. (Greek Legend: Fake article. fake article. This userpage is like a non-English article. The Avengers: Promotional talk page. The userpage is promotional. Marvellous Spider-Man: Wrong place. I don't have time for the subject anymore.)
- All requests for the rollback permission demonstrate similar consistencies of a non-native speaker. (notice the mention of Huggle and STiki by both Greek Legend and Marvellous Spider-Man) The Avengers: I have reverted many vandalism and BLP violations, along with filing SPI and RFPP requests. Greek Legend: Though I have made a few vandalism revert, I know what is vandalism. I have checked contributions of some administrators who block users indefinitely for vandalism. I have checked the contributions of those users who are either given level 4 warning or blocked indefinitely for vandalism. I can easily distinguish between positive edit and vandalism. I want to to use Huggle and Stiki. I am not going to misuse these tools. And I won't make any mistake with the warnings. Marvellous Spider-Man: I am fighting persistent vandalism in Wikipedia with Twinkle. I would like the rollback right so that I can continue fighting vandalism, section blanking, addition of defamatory materials, as well as having access to advanced semi-automated tools like Huggle and STiki.
- All accounts have requested assistance in the form of a sentence. (Greek Legend: The user User talk:Vnujadhav blocked by you gave a barnstar to User:Vinjadhav The Avengers: There is a spammer adding "Komail Shayan"in upcoming movies., Give your views Marvellous Spider-Man: I am not able to use this with proper ways in this page "Kayla Day", I used refill on a page. The page was added to my watchlist. I removed it from my watchlist. I don't want that all pages for which I use Refill to fix bare URLs, to be added to my watchlist.)

Same IP range and single purpose behaviour / trolling and reporting of established editors. This IP belongs to the master which has been demonstrated here: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CosmicEmperor/Archive#08_December 2015. The Sock master had a habit of accusing all established editors in a topic area to be socks of the same person which was trashed at SPI as well as reported in his own SPI. lTopGunl (talk) 15:19, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- The sock just filed a blatant copy of a rejected SPI against me (he just copied it from archive now that I see it). I've reverted it as it was an edit by a blocked evading editor and am reporting it here. The user is known to jump IPs as visible in his previous SPIs. --lTopGunl (talk) 15:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- Added 1.39.36.95 to the list. As I said (and know), they hop IPs. --lTopGunl (talk) 16:29, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
