When I was a child, I was bitten by a cobra. In a desperate bid to save me, my father gave me a tranfusion of mongoose blood, which not only cured me, but enabled me to run at fantastic speed....WHO AM I?

Iron Fist is correct. It's your turn now.

And anticipating that I'm right:
I founded a group of criminals which takes the name of a predecessor to the surrealist movement.
I once visited France, with unusual results and tried to run for President for a time, using a bicycle that gave off LSD-like energy.

Boy, I got no clue on your entry. A bicycle that gives off LSD-like energy? I think the artists/publishers were taking some of that stuff themselves!
Obscurity is my middle name. I felt like id go someone more off the beaten path and force people to research the answer. The two easiest hints I can give are the first clue will lead you towards the name of the Brotherhood they founded and my avatar picture (though it's not the character in the picture)
Mr. Morden? From The Brotherhood of Dada?
Yup, otherwise known as Mr Nobody!
You're up!
-I am a villain and a kingpin
- Very skillful in combat
-was once one of my avatars
Really, no one?
Only one I can guess is Kingpin. But I sincerely doubt it.
^nope, but I'll give you another hint- I'm named after a famous monster in literature.

Ooookay, cool! How's about this one:
I am an American astronaut who was taken prisoner by an alien race planning to destroy the Earth. By donning one of their uniforms and using their "atomic transistors" to fly and project energy beams, I foiled their plot and swore to protect Earth from any future evils.

Maybe that was too hard. The answer was... The Angel (Thomas Halloway)
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9b/Angel_golden_age.jpg)
Let me try an easier one then. I used to be the heavyweight champion of the world (boxing). Later I fought crime while dressed up in a stupid animal costume. I trained several other heroes including Black Canary and Catwoman.
Wildcat from the JSA?

Here's mine:
I was born at the start of the 20th century. Like several others who were born at the same time, I have a very long lifespan (over 100 now) as well as super powers. I once froze Dracula then kicked him in the crotch. One of the people I work with is a drummer.
