The character has been adapted into various other media incarnations of Spider-Man. In film, Thomas Haden Church portrays the Sandman in Spider-Man 3. A creature based on the "Sandman" appeared in the 2019 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: Far From Home, which was actually an illusion created by a series of drones operated by Mysterio.

In 2009, the Sandman was ranked as IGN's 72nd Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.[1]

Publication history

The Sandman first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #4 (Sept. 1963), created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko as an adversary of Spider-Man.[2][3][4] The character returned in The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 and The Amazing Spider-Man #18-19, and was soon depicted in other comics, such as The Incredible Hulk and The Fantastic Four.

The Sandman served as the villain of the first issue of the Spider-Man spin-off series Marvel Team-Up (March 1972), which gave him a more morally ambiguous depiction. Writer Roy Thomas later commented, "I've been pleased to see Sandman's gradual redemption, whose seeds perhaps I helped plant in that story. He just seemed to me like a character who might have that in him ..."[5] Subsequent stories stuck with the character's original depiction, but a decade later the more sympathetic portrayal of the Sandman returned, starting with Marvel Two-in-One #86 (April 1982),[5] in which the Sandman is given co-star billing with his nemesis the Thing. The Sandman was later an ally of Spider-Man, as well as a reserve member of the Avengers and a member of Silver Sable's "Wild Pack" team of mercenaries.

Besides being most notable as a Spider-Man supervillain, he has also been depicted as a Fantastic Four antagonist in Stan Lee and Jack Kirby comic books (mostly due to being introduced as a founding member of the original Frightful Four[6]) along with being on the heroic side (being an Avengers reserve member[7]) until being introduced as a tragic supervillain in the Spider-Man comics once again.[8]

Fictional character biography

William Baker was born in Queens, New York. When he was three years old, his father abandoned him and his mother. In these early years, she took her son to Coney Island beach. He lost himself happily in sand sculptures, a craft he would use in secondary school under the encouragement of his teacher (and first crush), Miss Flint.[9]

In preparatory school, a boy named Vic bullied Baker until he learned to fight using an opponents' motions against themselves, a technique he performed as if he "slipped through their fingers like sand". Vic and his buddies eventually befriended Baker. In high school, William played on his school's football team, using the sport to channel his anger. While playing football, he adopted the nickname "Flint", after his former teacher.[9]

After Vic incurs a large gambling debt to a mobster, he begs Flint to fix a football game he bet on to pay off his debt. Flint does, but is kicked off the team after the coach discovers his involvement. The coach taunts Baker, telling him that he will accomplish nothing of importance in his life. Flint hits his ex-coach, resulting in his expulsion from school and the beginning of his life of crime.

His illegal activity increases in depth and scope, turning him into a violent, bitter man. Eventually he ends up in prison on Ryker's Island where he meets his father, Floyd Baker. He is friendly to his father, but does not tell him who he is. He tells Floyd his nickname, Flint, and a false surname, Marko, inspired by his former coach's taunts about not "making a mark" on the world. He uses the alias Flint Marko from that point on[9] (he changed his name also to prevent his mother from discovering he was a criminal).[10] After Floyd is released from prison, Marko escapes.[9]

Marko flees to a nuclear testing site on a beach near Savannah, Georgia where he comes into contact with sand that had been irradiated by an experimental reactor. His body and the radioactive sand bond, changing Marko's molecular structure into sand. Impressed, he calls himself the Sandman after his new powers.

Marko clashes with Peter Parker/Spider-Man for the first time in Peter's high school. Spider-Man defeats Marko with a vacuum cleaner and hands it over to the police.[11][12] The Sandman escapes by getting through his window after turning himself to sand, but is recaptured by the Human Torch after the Torch lures the Sandman to a building by disguising himself as Spider-Man, then activating the sprinkler system. After this Marko resurfaces as a member of the Sinister Six, led by Doctor Octopus. He battles Spider-Man inside an airtight metal box, which is activated when Spider-Man touches a card saying where the Vulture is, but the Sandman is defeated due to Spider-Man having stronger lungs than he does.[13]

Alongside the Enforcers, he captures the Human Torch but later succumbs to Spider-Man and the Human Torch.[14]

After Spider-Man defeats Marko numerous times, Marko diverts his attention to other superheroes. He teams with the Wizard, Paste Pot Pete (later known as the Trapster) and Medusa to form the Frightful Four to combat the Fantastic Four, which attacks during Reed and Sue's engagement party. The Fantastic Four, with the help of a few other superheroes, defeat the group.[15] In another battle, in which he teams up with Blastaar and loses against the Four, he dons a diamond-patterned green costume designed by the Wizard.[16] Later, he and the Hulk battle for the first time.[17]The Mandarin joins him in his next conflict against the Hulk.[18]

In time the Sandman discovers—-starting with his hands—-that his body can transform into glass and back again. He contracts cancer and takes over a medical research center, battling the Hulk again.[19] He battles Wonder Man but is cured of his cancer by radiation.[20]

Afterward, he allies himself with Hydro-Man to battle their mutual enemy, Spider-Man. An accident merges the two villains into a monster called the Mud-Thing. Spider-Man and the police are able to dehydrate the monstrosity.[21] Months later, the supervillains manage to separate themselves and go their separate ways.

The time trapped with Hydro-Man caused Marko to question his bad life choices. The Thing, after an aborted attempt to fight Baker, urges him to straighten himself out and use his ability to do good.[22] The story continues when he meets with the Thing for a second time to see a sports game.[23]

Marko boards with the Cassadas and teams with Spider-Man against the Enforcers.[24]The Sandman then makes sporadic appearances in Spider-Man comics assisting his former enemy. His first appearance has him coming to the rescue of Spider-Man and Silver Sable, who are outnumbered and surrounded by the Sinister Syndicate. Silver Sable is impressed by the Sandman's performance and recruits him as a freelance operative.[25] Doctor Octopus coerces him to rejoin the Sinister Six, but Marko turns against them. Doctor Octopus turns him into glass for his treason. Spider-Man, however, saved the Sandman.[26] Sandman also appears as part of the Outlaws, a group of reformed Spider-Man enemies, such as the Prowler, the Rocket Racer, the Puma and the Will o' the Wisp, that on occasion that would aid Spider-Man.[27]

Later, he receives a presidential pardon and briefly joins the Avengers as a reserve member.[28] Later, he becomes a full-time mercenary in the employ of Silver Sable, as a member of her Wild Pack, serving alongside heroes such as Paladin and Battlestar. The Sandman is one of the few heroes temporarily overwhelmed by their evil doubles during the Infinity War. This double almost kills them all.

Marko turns against Spider-Man and his sometimes ally the Thing and declares his allegiance to evil and his former employer, the Wizard. This change proved incompatible to what many fans had thought Sandman had become, a hero.[29] This outcry caused Marvel to rush out a story which retconned The Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 2) #4 in which the Wizard had kidnapped the Sandman and used his mind control machine, the Id Machine, to turn him back into a villain.[30]

The machine worked too well and the Sandman went about reforming the Sinister Six to destroy both Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus, only to be double-crossed by Venom, who the Sandman recruited as the sixth member of the team. During Venom's brawl against the Sandman, the vicious black symbiote's mouth rips a chunk of sand from the Sandman. That missing sand destabilizes the Sandman, causing him to lose his ability to maintain his human form. Before falling into the sewer (and as a nod to fans who rejected Marvel's attempt to re-villainize the character), the Sandman admitted that part of the reason for his fall from grace was the trouble he had to really cope with life on the good guys' side, and asks Spider-Man to tell his mother he was sorry he did not fulfill his promise to her, to be a force for good. The Sandman washes away and slides down a sewer, from which he mixes into Jones Beach, New York[31] and is thought dead.

The Sandman's body and mind are scattered throughout the beach. This separation lasts too long for him, causing his mind to split into good and its opposite, evil, which when dominant created sand vortexes to ensnare beachcombers. Spider-Man arrived to confront the Sandman, ultimately using the Sandman's mental instability to free his captives and cause him to explode.

His sand wafts throughout New York and touches down into piles forming beings that personify him: the good, the bad, the gentle and the innocent. Spider-Man locates these Sandmen to convince them to unify. The Sandman's evil persona merges with his innocent and gentle personas, but the Sandman's good persona rebuffs the evil one. Because the Sandman's mind can handle his personality in separation for only a limited time, he loses his ability to retain himself, crumbling and blowing away, leaving Spider-Man to ponder the nature of his scuttled foe.[32]

The Sandman is one of the villains recruited to recover the Identity Disc, but during its recovery seemingly he is killed in a mutiny. At the series' end, the Sandman is found alive and working with the Vulture to manipulate the other villains.

In the storyline "Sandblasted", in Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #17–19 (April–June 2007), the Sandman asks Spider-Man to help him redeem his father, who has been charged with and imprisoned for murdering a homeless man. He admits his father was a petty criminal, but insists he would not commit murder. Marko also said the victim resembles Peter Parker's Uncle Ben, who had been murdered years before then. The Sandman and Spider-Man find the killer, the Chameleon 2211. The Chameleon 2211 kills the Uncle Ben who the Hobgoblin 2211 brought from an alternate universe[33] and had been posing as him after that. Thanks to Spider-Man, Floyd Baker is switched with the Chameleon 2211 and saved, for which the Sandman thanks Spider-Man.

The Sandman returned in "Spider-Man: The Gauntlet" storyline, which redefined the character and his powers/mental state. While investigating a series of murders and a missing girl named Keemia Alvarado, whose mother is a victim of those murders, Spider-Man traces the murders and the abduction to the Sandman, the girl's father, who is hiding on Governor's Island with Keemia. The Sandman's powers have evolved to where he can create duplicates of himself who have their own personalities and, to Marko's shock, claim they committed the murders.[34] Spider-Man sneaks away and uses a fan to obliterate the Sandmen. Originally Spider-Man believed Keemia would be handed to her grandmother, but instead she was sent to a foster home by Child Protective Services. Carlie Cooper is exonerated upon being under police suspicion for tampering with the murder evidences, but the Sandman is still at large.[35]

During the "Origin of the Species" storyline, the Sandman is among the supervillains invited by Doctor Octopus to join his villains' team where he becomes involved in a plot to receive a reward and securing some specific items for him. The Sandman went after Spider-Man for Menace's infant, believing that Doctor Octopus would reward him by reuniting him with Keemia. He ended up being accidentally struck with lightning by Electro, temporarily turning him into fulgurite.[36] Spider-Man goes on a rampage against all the villains after the Chameleon stole the infant and tricked him into believing it had died. At the dock, the Sandman, along with the Shocker and the Enforcers, are hiding. However, Spider-Man collapses the floor of the building which falls into the water. The Sandman attempts to rise to attack, but Spider-Man shoots him using the Shocker's vibrational air-blasts.[37]

In Big Time, he is part of the new Sinister Six along with Mysterio, the Rhino, Doctor Octopus, the Chameleon and Electro. He rises up against Doctor Octopus' plan to detonate New York, saying Keemia is still there.[38] He is later angered when, during a confrontation between the Sinister Six and the Intelligencia, Doctor Octopus teleports the Wizard into the upper atmosphere using the Intelligencia's equipment. The Sandman was talking with his former Frightful Four teammate and old friend at the time. When the Mad Thinker goes after Electro, the Sandman violently attacks him, claiming that he did not want to lose any more friends.[39]

When Doctor Octopus puts his plan into action, the Sandman is satisfied with the job because of the planned 2 billion dollar "compensation fee", which he reasons will help him gain custody of Keemia. However, although sent to guard a facility in the Sahara Desert giving him complete control of the largest body of sand in the world, he is defeated by Spider-Man, the Black Widow and Silver Sable when Spider-Man identifies and isolates the one grain of sand that contains his conscious mind.[40] Spider-Man and Silver Sable then violently interrogate the Sandman to reveal all of Doctor Octopus' secrets to them.[41]

Following the "Dying Wish" storyline, the Sandman's captive form is later stolen from the Baxter Building by the Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus' mind in Spider-Man's body) where he takes him to his underwater lab.[42]The Sandman, the Chameleon, Electro, Mysterion (an impersonator of Mysterio), and the Vulture are later seen as part of a team led by the Superior Spider-Man called the "Superior Six". The Superior Spider-Man has been temporarily controlling their minds in order to redeem them for their crimes. He does this by forcing them do heroic deeds against their will, some of which almost get some of them killed. Every time he is done controlling them, he puts them back in their containment cells.[43] They eventually break free of the Superior Spider-Man's control and attempt to exact revenge on the wall-crawler, while nearly destroying New York in order to do so.[44] With the help of Sun Girl, the Superior Spider-Man is barely able to stop the Superior Six.[45]

Inspired by the heroism of the villains who had their moralities inverted by the events of "AXIS", the Sandman rejoins one of his old gangs and breaks into Ryker's Island in search of the group's leader Dixon. Upon reaching Dixon's cell, the Sandman turns on and incapacitates him and his followers. He then leaves with Dixon's cellmate, a "good egg" whom the Sandman had deemed deserving of a second chance.[46]

During the "Secret Wars" storyline, the Sandman is among the villains at the Kingpin's viewing party of the incursion between Earth-616 and Earth-1610.[47]

The Sandman later appears as a member of the Sinister Six led by Aaron Davis in a recolored Iron Spider armor. He accompanied the Sinister Six in a plot to steal a decommissioned S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.[48]

During the "Infinity Wars" storyline, the Sandman is among the villains that accompany Turk Barrett to his meeting with the Infinity Watch at Central Park.[49]

The Sandman later discovered that he is starting to lose the consistency of his body. When the Mad Thinker and the Wizard are unable to find a solution to counter this and the Sandman is hospitalized after collapsing, he is visited by Spider-Man, who took him to the beach that the Sandman visited in his childhood and stayed with him until his body broke down. After that happened, Spider-Man discovered that the Sandman did not die and that he lost the ability to assume a human shape, where he now sports a blob-shaped body. When the Sandman's body is taken over by a future version of the Sandman from Earth-51838 where the sun went out, Spider-Man received some of the Sandman's powers and used them to defeat the Sandman of Earth-51838 and sends him back to his reality using the Multisect and assistance from the Human Torch. After bidding farewell to Spider-Man, the Sandman left to get adjusted to his new form while having developed a fear of his newly-discovered immortality.[50]

Powers and abilities

The Sandman has the ability to transform his body. He can will his body to be hardened, compacted, dispersed or shaped, or a combination of those qualities, an Earth manipulation of sand and rock particles. More often than not in combat, this ability enables him to absorb most blows with little to no ill effect other than reforming himself, a relatively fast action. His striped shirt and cargo pants are colored sand to make him appear as if he wears clothes. Even when soaked, he was able to stretch his sand molecules, growing to double his size.

Sandman can mold his arms and hands into shapes, such as a mace or a sledgehammer, to battle Spider-Man and his other enemies. His mass, strength and shape shifting ability correspond to the number of sand and rock particles that comprise him. The more he incorporates (nearby) sand grains and rock granules into his body, the more those qualities are enhanced. Even though he controls every particle in his body, his mind exists in the astral plane. He can turn himself into a sandstorm, which enables him to fly great distances and to suffocate his enemies.

His body takes on sand's chemical qualities, impervious to many, but not all, elements. Once, cement's ingredients were mixed into Sandman. That mixture turned him into cement that dried, rendering him immobile.[51] Despite this frailty he remained alive, but in a coma-like state for a while before he returned to normal. In addition to his superb endurance, the Sandman possesses superhuman strength several times more than Spider-Man's and on a par with the Thing's.

In a story with the Wizard, the Wizard fashioned Sandman a green suit with a belt that contained three buttons that allowed various chemicals to mix into the Sandman's body to enable him to change himself into consistencies related to sand. The suit, like the Sandman's usual "clothes", changed into sand with him. Eventually, with the disbanding of the original Frightful Four, the Sandman stopped using the suit.

Temperature does alter the Sandman. At 3,400 degrees Fahrenheit his body turns into glass, also a form he can control. Unlike the Sandman's fast transformation from sand to glass, his transformation from glass to sand takes time.[52]

Although he is invulnerable to most physical attacks, even projectiles because they pass through him, water is a different story. There are some exceptions, for example while fighting Venom, the villain's powerful mouth ripped cleanly and swiftly into the Sandman. The amount of sand removed abruptly, and perhaps because of Venom's venoms, left the mass of the Sandman in contortion, crippled beyond immediate repair. The Sandman began to disintegrate, then flowed down a drain, and then washed up onto and into a beach.[53]

It has been revealed that, while the Sandman can absorb and lose sand, his body must retain one key particle of sand that contains his conscious mind, allowing Spider-Man to defeat him once by isolating that one grain from the rest of the Sandman (although the difficulty involved in setting up these events in the first place makes it impractical to use regularly).[40]

Family members

This section lists the known relatives of Sandman:

  • Floyd Baker - The father of William Baker, who was unaware that he was the Sandman during his time in prison.[54]
  • Keemia Alvarado - The foster child of the Sandman.[34]
  • Mrs. Baker (first name unknown) - The mother of William Baker.[55]

Other characters named the Sandman

There have been some other characters in Marvel Comics that have been named the "Sandman":

  • In Marvel Mystery Comics, the Sandman that appears is the Sandman of legend. He lives in the Land of Dreams, which is located in the Realm of Fairies within the potentially imaginary world of Nowhere. The Sandman ruled over the realm and would place a blanket over it every day. Those who grabbed a dream from the dream tree would have a dream based on whatever they grabbed from the tree and awaken again when the Sandman removed the blanket over his land. Anyone who did not grab a dream would end up in an eternal, dreamless sleep.[56]
  • In Journey into Mystery, an alien Sandman crash-landed on Earth where he ended up in Mexico. The local tribespeople thought it was an evil spirit. They took him while he was still weak from his crash and sealed him in a cave with no air and light, where he remained in a state of suspended animation. By the early 1960s, a vacationing Marine named Steve Bronson and his family accidentally unleashed the alien Sandman on the world. The alien Sandman regained its consciousness, recounted its past to the Bronson family and planned to conquer the Earth. Steve Bronson tried to oppose the alien Sandman, but it proved invulnerable to physical assault. The alien Sandman ordered the Bronsons to transport him to North America, so he could observe the most powerful nation on the planet before putting his plan into action. Steve Bronson was able to alert the military to the alien Sandman's presence, but they also proved ineffective in dealing with the extraterrestrial threat. Bullets went right through him, gas was ineffectual because he does not breathe and while bombs would scatter his pieces, he proved capable of reforming himself afterwards. The alien Sandman planned to increase its size by absorbing every sand on the beaches until nothing can stop him. Steve Bronson's son Bobby heard about the plan and headed to the beach with a plan of his own. Bobby threw a pile of water over the sand, which made the alien Sandman soggy to the point where he could not move. The military quickly transported the alien Sandman's body to a top-secret underground facility where he has remained ever since.[57]
  • There was an android version of the Sandman who was created by the Puppet Master and the Mad Thinker to fight the Fantastic Four.[58]

Other versions

1602

Marvel 1602: Fantastick Four, a sequel to Neil Gaiman's Marvel 1602 written by Peter David, features the 1602 version of the Marvel Sandman. While he physically resembles Flint Marko, he has the pale skin and glowing eyes of Gaiman's Morpheus. He also alludes to an ability to summon nightmares. In issue #4 he is able to send Ben Grimm to sleep by blowing a vapor or dust at him. Both the Sandman and the Trapster are crushed by falling debris when Bensaylum collapses.[59]

Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows

During the Secret Wars storyline in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows, a version of the Sandman lives in the Battleworld domain of the Regency. The Sandman allied himself with the rebel forces at S.H.I.E.L.D. following Regent conquering the world, where part of it became the Battleworld domain of The Regency.[60] When Spider-Man exposes himself and is attacked by the Sinister Six, the Sandman appears and tries to convince Spider-Man to follow him, but Spider-Man does not listen and assume the Sandman is part of the Six. They are captured by Regent and he reads the Sandman's mind to find out S.H.I.E.L.D's location. One of Spot's portals was sewn into the Sandman, and as a last resort, he sacrifices himself to allow the rebels to break in, using the portal in order to stop Regent and rescue Spider-Man.[61]

House of M: Masters of Evil

The Sandman appears as a member of the Hood's Masters of Evil.[62] He was killed by both Rogue and Marrow during the riot at Santo Rico.[63]

JLA/Avengers

The Sandman appears in the last issue among the Avengers fighting through Krona's stronghold, in a panel where he defeats the Scorpion.[64]

Marvel Noir

In the Marvel Noir universe, the Sandman exists, and exhibits slightly different powers than the one in the mainstream Universe. Whilst he cannot externally change into sand, he can alter his internal physiology, and, as Spider-Man noted, his skin can feel like granite. He is an enforcer for the Crime Master.[65]

Marvel Zombies

In Marvel Zombies: Dead Days, the Sandman, having become a zombie, appears to attack Wolverine and Magneto alongside several other Spider-Man villains during an attempt to evacuate innocent civilians into a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. The six villains are repelled.[66] It is shown in Marvel Zombies Return #1 that the Zombie Spider-Man is responsible for infecting this universe's Flint Marko.

Marvel Zombies Return

A version of the Sandman similar to a past version of his 616 counterpart appears as part of a version of the Sinister Six. After Zombie Spider-Man teleports into this reality, the Kingpin sends the Six to fight "Spider-Man". The other five members are violently killed by the Zombie Spider-Man and the Sandman flees, later encountering and killing his own reality's Spider-Man out of fear by forcing his own sand body mass down Spider-Man's throat and causing his stomach to bloat to massive proportions before violently exploding out of his chest. He is also disappointed by the seeming betrayal of his enemy, thinking that if Spider-Man is now willing to kill, then the Sandman will also kill. Decades later, the Sandman is infused with a nanite cure developed by Tony Stark and the Zombie Spider-Man that incorporates Wolverine's healing factor, which allows him to safely confront the zombies. Working with a few allies that oppose the murderous zombies, the Sandman springs his trap. All the zombies fall, destroyed from within. Upon his final death, Zombie Spider-Man thanks the Sandman for avenging Aunt May and Mary Jane, to which the Sandman replies, "Good riddance, ya disgusting freak". He is later congratulated by Uatu the Watcher for his great help.[67]

Mini-Marvels

The Sandman makes a cameo in Mini-Marvels when he attacks Spider-Man and the Team Poder while they were playing in a sandbox. He is defeated and turned into a sand castle.

Spider-Ham

In Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham #12, the Sandman appears as a manatee called the Sandmanatee.[68] He later joined the Sinister Swine and was turned to glass.

Spider-Man: Reign

In Spider-Man: Reign, the Sandman is a part of an elderly Sinister Six which is under the control of the tyrannical power structure running New York. During the showdown between rebellious citizens at the Mayor's tower, the Sandman encounters his super-powered daughter, Susie, but loses her due to wounds inflicted by the police. As such he abandons the Six and assists Spider-Man in defeating the tyrants.[69]

Ultimate Marvel

In the Ultimate Marvel Universe, Flint Marko is a genetic mutation by industrialist Justin Hammer who attempts to recreate the Super Soldier Serum. Shortly after Doctor Octopus kills Hammer, S.H.I.E.L.D. infiltrates Hammer's factory to obtain experiments Hammer had been working on. Marko uses this opportunity to escape and wreak havoc in New Jersey. S.H.I.E.L.D., with the help of Spider-Man, contains him and imprisons him in a S.H.I.E.L.D holding facility.[70]

There, he meets fellow genetically altered criminals Norman Osborn (the Green Goblin), Dr. Otto Octavius (Doctor Octopus), Max Dillon (Electro) and Kraven the Hunter. Under the Green Goblin's and Doctor Octopus's leadership, they break free and capture Spider-Man. They tie him to a chair, unmask, and humiliate Peter for being a child and for Norman Osborn and Otto Octavius's involvement in his creation. Osborn then blackmails Peter into joining the team, forming the Ultimate Six. Marko participates with the group in an attack on the White House. However, Iron Man stops them. After the battle, S.H.I.E.L.D. seals Marko in various jars and keeps them frozen.[71]

Artist Mark Bagley, who drew the first 100+ issues of Ultimate Spider-Man, noted in his rough designs for the Ultimate Sandman that he would appear "naked" most of the time. As he wanted to go with the more 'realistic' feel of the Ultimate imprint, he doubted whether Flint Marko's clothing had unstable molecules like his body.

Alongside the rest of the Ultimate Six, the Sandman plays a role in the "Death of Spider-Man" storyline. Norman Osborn breaks him and the rest out of the Triskelion, and after their escape, informs them that God wishes for them to kill Peter Parker.[72] When Electro is shot by Aunt May, an electric surge knocks out Kraven, the Sandman, and the Vulture.[73]

In other media

Television
  • The Sandman appears in the 1967 Spider-Man series, voiced by Tom Harvey. In the episode "Sands of Crime", he steals the Goliath Diamond and orders a $1 million ransom, and since Spider-Man gets framed for the robbery for being seen at the museum, Spider-Man must defeat the Sandman to clear his name. Spider-Man finally defeats Sandman by dousing him with water at a quarry.
  • The Sandman appears in Fantastic Four. This version is shown in the costume that was designed by The Wizard. In the episode "The Frightful Four", he appears as part of the titular Frightful Four.
  • The Sandman appears in the 1981 Spider-Man series, voiced by Neil Ross. In the episode "The Coming of the Sandman", he steals recently obtained soil samples from Mars to increase his power. Spider-Man manages to defeat the Sandman with cement and extract the soil samples from the Sandman's petrified body.
  • The Sandman appears in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, voiced by Christopher Collins. As seen in the episode "Spider-Man: Unmasked!", the Sandman, having recently escaped from prison, secretly discovers that Peter Parker and Spider-Man are the same person, and—upon confronting Parker—threatens to reveal the web-slinger's true identity to Aunt May and the Daily Bugle, hoping to intimidate Spider-Man into not interfering with a planned large-scale robbery at a fundraising dinner. In the end Parker, the Iceman, Firestar—and some unwitting help from Flash Thompson—are able to foil the Sandman's plans by using cement on him.
  • The Sandman was the only major Spider-Man villain not to appear in the 1994 Spider-Man series, because the series did not want to interfere with the continuity of James Cameron's proposed Spider-Man movie, in which the Sandman and Electro were supposed to be the villains. Although Electro was belatedly introduced into the series when Cameron's film fell through, the Sandman remained unseen (although Hydro-Man fulfilled many similar roles, and it has been stated that Hydro-Man was indeed essentially used as a replacement for the Sandman).[74] Also because of Cameron's film, the Sandman did not appear in the 1990s Fantastic Four cartoon, most notably the episodes featuring the Frightful Four.
  • The Sandman appears in The Spectacular Spider-Man, voiced by John DiMaggio.[75] First appearing in "Survival of the Fittest", Flint Marko is a petty crook working for the Big Man and consistently is caught with his cohort Alex O'Hirn by Spider-Man. In the episode "Competition", he is used as a guinea pig in Oscorp's underground experiments (for the Big Man) meant to give Marko a super silicon armor, but the experiment goes awry and results in his Sandman transformation. Soon afterward, Flint is offered revenge against Spider-Man. He refuses, saying revenge was for chumps and he only wants a 'big score'. He severs his alliance with Hammerhead and becomes an independent criminal known as the Sandman. With Hammerhead living up to his own bargain of inadvertently drawing Spider-Man's attention, Spider-Man attacks the Sandman when he robs a bank, but he defeats the hero and escapes into a drain whose grill, however, obstructs him from taking his loot, forcing him to leave it behind. Spider-Man captures him in their next fight despite the fact that the Sandman appears to have the upper hand, when Spider-Man drops a large pile of wet quick drying cement, which hardens and encases him before he has the chance to escape. In the episode "Group Therapy", the Sandman is seen with the Sinister Six alongside Doctor Octopus, the Rhino, the Shocker, the Vulture and Electro, busting out of jail and rampaging throughout New York before being defeated by Spider-Man (possessed by the black suit). In the episode "Reinforcement", the Sandman joins the new Sinister Six, consisting of Electro, Kraven the Hunter, the Rhino, Mysterio and the Vulture at Christmas Eve, but is again defeated by Spider-Man, this time by being first converted to mud, then being frozen. In the episode "First Steps", the Sandman becomes more powerful during his time in prison, where he learned he could absorb extra sand into his body absorbing the combined sand from a beach and the bottom of the harbor becoming a massive giant, and helps Hammerhead take down an oil tanker to make the 'big score' he always dreamed of. But when the ship is about to explode, the Sandman helps Spider-Man rescues the crew and as a giant, wraps himself around the exploding ship to protect civilians being crystallized in the explosion. Spider-Man believes he died, only for the Sandman to appear alive after Spider-Man leaves.
  • The Sandman appears in Ultimate Spider-Man, voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.[76] In season one's "Snow Day", Spider-Man and the S.H.I.E.L.D. trainees encounter Flint Marko on an island that Nova finds to use as a vacation spot. He first appears to the team in the form of the young boy Sandy (voiced by Tara Strong) wanting to play with Spider-Man's team. Spider-Man's team finds Sandy's "brother", who claims that Sandy is always playing in the ruins (which suddenly forms). When Spider-Man's team goes on a tactical retreat, Sandy turns into sand and moves their Quinjet to the top of the ruins, daring them to come and get it. Spider-Man's team ends up being attacked by Sandy and Flint, who then forms a sand labyrinth for them to maneuver around. Power Man finds hieroglyphics where it said that the Sandman escaped from prison and was caught in an explosion that gave him his powers. The hieroglyphics state that Nick Fury dropped the Sandman on the island. Flint and Sandy combine into one being, which Spider-Man's team fights. Spider-Man fights the Sandman while the others try to get to the Quinjet. Nova lifts the Quinjet as Spider-Man's team flies away until they are intercepted by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents; Fury reveals at this point that S.H.I.E.L.D. dropped the Sandman on an island because no prison could successfully contain him. It is then shown that the Sandman had stowed away in Spider-Man's outfit as he forms in the Quinjet and freezes the controls. Upon landing in the frozen Hudson River, Spider-Man's team had to stop the Sandman before he reached land. Iron Fist cracks the ice and Spider-Man tells Nova to heat the Sandman's body enough to turn him to glass. The Sandman was then placed in a special containment unit (which resembles an hourglass that is always moving) that would keep him from reassembling. Spider-Man notes that the Sandman's isolation on the island likely affected his sanity, with Fury referring the situation to the equivalent of 'sweeping [Sandman] under the rug'. In season two's "Sandman Returns", the Sandman is accidentally freed by the Awesome Android and ends up both stopping the Awesome Android and putting out the fire the Awesome Android caused. The Sandman stated to Spider-Man that he just wanted to help. Fury mentioned that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been working to rehabilitate the Sandman and hoping to make him a hero. Spider-Man has Fury let the Sandman be trained to be a hero. The Sandman is outfitted into a special containment suit (which resembles the suit that the Wizard made for him in the comics) that limits his power by Walter Cage and Amanda Cage. As S.H.I.E.L.D. observe Sandman's program, Spider-Man takes the Sandman to battle Swarm where the Sandman's containment suit is targeted by Swarm. Spider-Man is forced to get the containment suit off of the Sandman, pummeling Swarm into submission. The Sandman is brought into control and apologizes for his actions. With advice from Iron Fist, Spider-Man trains the Sandman (equipped with a replacement containment suit) into being a man first and the Sandman second. When Batroc the Leaper is in the middle of a robbery, the Sandman springs into action, attacking Batroc. When Batroc throws a garbage can at the Sandman, he ends up attacking Batroc as J. Jonah Jameson makes a bad comment towards the Sandman. The Sandman loses control of his emotions and breaks out of his suit, attacking Spider-Man with a sandstorm attack. Fury sends the rest of Spider-Man's team to help Spider-Man stop the Sandman. Spider-Man denies Nova's plan to turn the Sandman into glass again, as Spider-Man has a different plan. Spider-Man then tries to reason with the Sandman until Nova arrives and Spider-Man throws the Awesome Android into the Sandman's mouth, where the Awesome Android absorbs the Sandman. When S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrive with a new containment suit, the Sandman is shot into the containment suit and taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. He can be seen in Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors. In the finale, "Contest of Champions" [Part 2], the Grandmaster uses the Sandman's monstrous form against Spider-Man in a game of 'Capture the Flag'. Spider-Man tries to reason with the Sandman that he is not a villain, to which the Sandman stated that S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been keeping him locked up. The Collector places Captain America, the Red Hulk and Iron Fist into the game. With an idea from Spider-Man, the Red Hulk was able to heat himself up enough to turn the Sandman into glass, removing him from the game. The Sandman has occasional appearances in Ultimate Spider-Man vs. the Sinister Six. In the episode "Beached", the Sandman is captured and cloned from his sand samples by Doctor Octopus in order to find the 'Ultimate Sandman' via remote control that would join the HYDRA-backed Sinister Six. A pursuit of the Vulture takes Spider-Man and the Iron Spider to a nearby island, where the two young heroes fight off the splinter Sandmen. The Iron Spider, stumbling onto Doctor Octopus's lab results in being imprisoned by Doc tor Octopus as one of the Sandman's clones wears the Iron Spider armor to fight Spider-Man. As Amadeus Cho and the Sandman work to get free, Spider-Man fights Doctor Octopus, some Octobots, and the Sandman clones. Upon Spider-Man and Amadeus using an electronical disruption to deactivate Doctor Octopus's remote, the Sandman clones are rendered inert as the Sandman reabsorbs them. After Doctor Octopus gets away, Spider-Man and the Iron Spider allow the Sandman to assume his sand form in an area near the Triskelion, telling him that he will be given a chance to join the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy whenever he is ready. In the episode "The New Sinister 6" [Part 2], Spider-Man asks the Sandman to fight Hydro-Man while the web-slinger goes after Doctor Octopus. Both the Sandman and Hydro-Man were easily matched. After Octopus Island's destruction, the Sandman caught the escape pod that Spider-Man and Aunt May were in and then proceeded to defeat Hydro-Man. In the episode "Agent Web", the Sandman was seen at the Triskelion taking part in the beach activities with the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy cadets.
  • The Sandman appears in Spider-Man, voiced by Travis Willingham.[77] This version is a former minion of Hammerhead and has a daughter named Keemia. After he had failed Hammerhead for the last time, Flint Marko was buried in a combination of sand and toxic waste. While Hammerhead thought he was dead, Flint actually survived and was mutated to have a sand-like body. During his rampage on Coney Island, the Sandman ran afoul of Spider-Man and was hit with water from a dunk tank by Flash Thompson. Peter Parker gained its sample and studied it to find why it was sentient while using static electricity on it. When the Sandman attacked the house, Spider-Man fought the Sandman until he released the sand sample upon getting far away from Aunt May's house. Upon hearing the Sandman's origin upon getting control of his abilities, they head to Hammerhead's mansion to find Keemia, only to discover that she was also mutated from the same accident and has better control of her abilities. After Keemia defeats the Sandman, the V-252 on Spider-Man acts up and forms a black suit on him, leading to him fighting her and Hammerhead's minions. After Keemia disappears into the night, Spider-Man webs up Hammerhead and his minions and leaves them for the police, while the Sandman's fate remains unknown. In "Web of Venom" Pt. 1, Sandman is one of the opponents Spider-Man battles in the holographic training room.

Film
  • Flint Marko / the Sandman appears in Spider-Man 3, portrayed by Thomas Haden Church. In the film, the Sandman's origins are similar to the comics except for his connection to Spider-Man's origin. Prior to the film, Marko is revealed to be the killer of Ben Parker (Cliff Robertson) in the first film and the carjacker Dennis Carradine (whom Peter confronted three years earlier) was Marko's accomplice. In the prologue, he escapes and hides from the police where he runs to his house, to see his dying critically ill daughter, Penny, and his upset wife, Emma. After an argument, Marko promises Penny that he will make her better, as he is not a bad person, but just having bad luck. While on the run from the police, he accidentally falls into an experimental particle accelerator that molecularly binds him with sand, giving him shapeshifting sand abilities and transforming him into the Sandman. The Sandman is later spotted by police officers walking down the streets of Manhattan, as he gets on top of a dump truck filled with huge amounts of sand. Later, he is pursued, but easily outsmarted by Spider-Man before fleeing. At the police station, police captain George Stacy (James Cromwell) informs Peter and Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) that evidence Marko (which Spider-Man encountered earlier) is actually Ben's killer instead of the carjacker, who was Marko's accomplice. A vengeful Spider-Man, wearing the black suit that would eventually become Venom, attacked and seemingly killed Marko with water as his weakness. However, he survived and returns from the sewers to mud. Later, he encounters Spider-Man again, but is mistaken to be Eddie Brock as Venom (who became Venom after Spider-Man rejects the black suit), as the duo joined forces to kill Spider-Man. He forms into a giant sand monster in the construction site's sand, but is defeated by Harry Osborn/the Green Goblin. After Venom is slain by Spider-Man and his secret identity, he talks with Peter about revealing the truth about Uncle Ben's death. Marko only wanted the car from Ben, who complied and calmly talked to Marko about why he was doing what he was. Marko began to reconsider his choices, when Carradine arrived and startled Marko, causing him to accidentally fire his gun, killing Ben. Marko was shocked and regretful for the accident, and remained behind while Carradine drove away in Ben's car before getting into a run-in with the police. Marko stated this because he wanted Peter to understand and that his love for his daughter Penny is the only thing he has left for himself. Understanding the importance of forgiveness over vengeance, Peter forgives Marko, who turns into sand and peacefully blows away.
  • A member of the Elementals inspired by the Sandman appeared in Spider-Man: Far From Home, set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[78][79][80] It was identified as an Earth Elemental, where it had power over rocks and sand. The Earth Elemental appeared in Mexico, where it encountered Talos and Soren in the forms of Nick Fury and Maria Hill. Mysterio then arrived and defeated the Earth Elemental offscreen. It was later revealed that the Earth Elemental and the other Elementals were actually illusions created by Mysterio and his fellow ex-Stark Industries employees, as part of his plot to obtain Stark technology.

Later, after Spider-Man learns of Electro's true plans, the Sandman attacks him again and the two battle at a construction site, where Spider-Man defeats the Sandman for good by using the industrial hoses on him to disrupt his integrity, and then washes him down a sewer grate.
  • In the Ultimate Spider-Man video game, the Beetle steals a vial containing the Sandman, but the ramifications have yet to be seen. Concept art for the special edition of the game shows the Beetle giving the vial to Doctor Doom.
  • The Sandman appears in the Spider-Man 3 video game, with Thomas Haden Church reprising his role from the film.[81] Similar to the film, Flint Marko is an escaped convict looking to provide for his family, especially his daughter Penny, who is transformed into the Sandman after accidentally falling into a cockpit full of sand while running from the police, where scientists are doing experiments on sand, one of which fuses Marko with the sand, giving him superpowers; however, Marko is never mentioned in the game as Uncle Ben's killer. The Sandman is first seen after robbing a bank, immediately after Spider-Man gets his symbiote black suit. Spider-Man decides to try out his new suit on the Sandman and follows him to the subway, where the two have a battle, before the symbiote overwhelms Spider-Man and he violently bursts open a pipe that washes the Sandman away (in a similar fashion to the film). However, the Sandman survives and Venom later blackmails him into helping him kill Spider-Man, otherwise he would kill Penny. The final battle is also quite similar to the film, with the Sandman and Venom kidnapping Mary Jane Watson to lure Spider-Man to a construction side, where he gains help in fighting the two villains from the New Goblin. While Spider-Man fights Venom, the New Goblin defeats the gigantic Sandman, but he survives once again and is seen for the final time after the battle is over. The Sandman is reunited with Penny, who has been rescued by the police, and both thanks and apologizes to Spider-Man, before peacefully leaving with his daughter.
  • The Sandman appears as a playable character in Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, voiced by Fred Tatasciore.[81] His design is based on his appearance in the Spider-Man 3 film. In the opening scene, he is shown fighting Spider-Man and the New Goblin alongside the other villains from the Spider-Man film trilogy, before they all get attacked by a hologram-symbiote combination of foot soldiers called P.H.A.N.T.O.M.s, controlled by an unknown supervillain (later revealed to be Mysterio). The New Goblin and the villains then disappear, with the villains being placed under mind-control by Mysterio and dispatched to guard the meteor shards which he used to create the P.H.A.N.T.O.M.s in various locations around the globe. The Sandman is sent to Cairo, where he causes a massive sandstorm, before the player finally confronts him at a construction side.

  • The Sandman appears as a boss for the second amazing segment in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.[82] He is voiced by Dimitri Diatchenko.[83] In the game, the Sandman obtains a fragment of the Tablet of Order and Chaos, and augments his powers to the point where he can control any sand simply by looking at it. Spider-Man fights him in an abandoned sand quarry owned by Roxxon Industries. He has the power to create Sand Golems, form weapons out of sand, and create destructive sandstorms. Ultimately, he spreads his mind so far and so thin that it begins to fracture and his only weakness is water, which solidifies him and his Sand Golems long enough to attack him for a short time. Spider-Man manages to defeat the Sandman and claim the tablet fragment. During the credits, the Sandman is shown trapped in an hourglass as Spider-Man swings by in the distance.
