SUPERHERO "WHO AM I"

[dean]

The Sandman!

[I'm guessing there aren't too many crushed rock superheros out there]

[dean]

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.

And anticipating that I'm right:

You are.
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!

[dean]

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)

[Leah]

Mr. Morden? From The Brotherhood of Dada?

[dean]

Yup, otherwise known as Mr Nobody!

You're up!

[Leah]

-I am a villain and a kingpin

- Very skillful in combat

-was once one of my avatars

[Leah]

Really, no one?

[retrorussell]

Only one I can guess is Kingpin.  But I sincerely doubt it.

[Leah]

^nope, but I'll give you another hint- I'm named after a famous monster in literature.

[The Fake Macoy]

Grendel (or Hunter Rose)?

[Leah]

Grendel (or Hunter Rose)?

You sir, are correct! You're up!

[The Fake Macoy]

- I once fought the Human Torch
- I wore a special suit when I fought him
- I probably should have died of cancer in later years

[retrorussell]

Iron Man?

[alandhopewell]

- I once fought the Human Torch
- I wore a special suit when I fought him
- I probably should have died of cancer in later years

     There's two different answers....






     Try this....

     I was a dummy....a REAL dummy, standing in a store window, until Fate intervened. Then I became a hero.
