Tom Delonge was a friend of Mark's younger sister Anne back in highschool, he kept telling her he wanted to form a band. So then Anne introduced him to Mark who was also dying to start a band. Mark tried to impress Tom the first time they met by climbing a light post in front of his house and jumped off, and ended up breaking both his ankles. After that the two started playing together and hit it off great, then they invited Scott Raynor to join the band because Tom had known him from a battle of the bands competition. But as we all know back in 97' he was replaced by Travis Barker. So the real founder is actually Tom. He even says it that he formed the band in many videos and biographies about blink 182.

Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge share lead vocals, it just depends on the song.

They don't really have a lead singer. Tom Delonge (the guitarist) and Mark Hoppus (the bassist) both do vocals pretty evenly, so neither of them is really lead.
