Is your character primarily an enemy of Green Lantern? No Was your character the Tattooed Man? No although inspired guess. Is your character primarily a foe of Wonder Woman? No I reckon thoth has got it, but just in case...have multiple people used your character's codename? Actually yes. At least 2 main figures and a couple of minor easily forgotten figures even just restricting to the main universe.

New page recap
My character: - debuted before COIE - identifies as being male - is a human being from Earth - is originally from the Earth-1 universe - has powers beyond those of a normal human being which derive from devices or artefacts as the source of their powers - is generally not heroic in nature but has been depicted that way - depends on the version (pre-Crisis, Post Crisis, New 52 etc) - uses a code name which has been used by at least two people - has worn a superhero-y / super-villain-y type costume but usually not - is not a doctor of some sort - has never had a self-titled comic book - has committed villainy as part of a team but is usually seen alone - at least in my recollection - has never (to my recollection) been mentioned to have an extended lifespan - is a notable foe of a specific member of the Justice League, not the team as a whole, one of the first 7 League members but not the Flash, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman. - can sometimes fly unaided but sometimes not - does not have some degree of telepathic ability - is not the Tattooed Man
(I have updated a couple of answers here to try to be more accurate.)

Chaim has it! It is indeed Metallo.
In the New52 he was a decorated war hero, although a bit arrogant, and was changed in service to his country, so heroic but still ended up villainous. Sometimes his bodies have been flight capable but generally not. Pre-Crisis after John Corbin's death his brother was converted and became the new Metallo making about a dozen appearances. The other question that might have helped after discovering he was a human being was whether he appeared as a normal human. That seemed to lead people away a bit. He may only be a brain in a robotic body but that still makes him a human being in my book. I enjoyed his confrontation with Robotman in Post-Crisis which highlighted their similarities and their differences.
Your turn Chaim.

Is your character primarily the foe of an individual super-hero (as opposed to being the foe of a team)?
