The Sandman (Marvel Comics)

The Sandman is a comic book supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe, and an enemy of Spider-Man.

The Sandman has the ability to transform into a malleable sand-like substance which can be hardened, dispersed, or shaped according to his will. He possesses vast superhuman strength several times in excess of Spiderman's. This ability was the result of accidental radiation bombardment.

He served as a member of the Frightful Four which continually tangled with the Fantastic Four.

At one point, after a humiliating experience of temporarily becoming a monster after he merged with Hydro-Man, he reformed and became a member of The Avengers, but he later reverted to his villainous ways.
