Real Name: William Baker aka Sandman
Age: 32
Height: 6' 1"
Hair: Brown
Weight: 240 lbs-450 lbs.
Status: A very dangerous Criminal
Powers: The Sandman possesses the ability to convert all or part of his body into a sand-like substance by mental command. His brain has attained subliminal awareness of all granulated particles of his body. Through conscious effort, he can affect the degree of molecular cohesion between the numerous adjoining surfaces of his particles and thus cause locomotion of discrete volumes, down to the individual grains. His radically mutagenically altered body composition and increased density enable him to compact or loosen the particles of sand that make up his form. Consequently, the Sandman can become as hard as sandstone, or disperse his body so that he becomes invulnerable to physical attacks. He can shape his sand-state body into any continuous shape he can imagine. He can project his sand particles outward at high speeds and, when in the shape of a bulky object, with the impact of a large sandbag.
The Sandman is vulnerable to temperatures of 3,400 degrees Fahrenheit can cause his highly impure silicate composition to fuse into amorphous silicate (glass). The Sandman maintains mental control of the particles of which his body is composed so that he can reform his scattered grains unless a substantial portion of his body mass has been isolated. Apparently, he can also convert common grains of sand around him into constituents of his body to replenish portions he might lose track of during battle. In this manner, he can increase his overall size and volume (to some as yet unknown limit), or that of his limbs.
There appears to be no limit to how long the Sandman can remain in his sand-state. If he were to be rendered unconscious while in his sand-state, he would remain in that state, although the relaxing of his control over his particles would cause him to become an amorphous pile of sand.
The Sandman's mind continues to function in astral form even when he has turned his head into sand and even when the particles of sand that composed his brain are widely scattered. The limit to how far the particles of his brain can be dispersed before he is unable to reassemble is not yet known.
Original History: William Baker was born in a rough neighborhood in New York. Abandoned by his father at an early age, William stole and cheated his way through adolescence. After getting expelled from college after a participating in a rigged football game, he was accepted by a gang that ran extortion and protection rackets, adopting the alias Flint Marko.
He soon became very successful in the New York criminal underworld, but was arrested, convicted, and forced to spend many years in solitary confinement. Upon his released he found out that his long time girlfriend Marcy Conroy had left him for Vic Rollins, another member of his gang. In a rage he took it upon himself to exact revenge on Rollins and start a lone crime spree. He was captured and placed in a maximum-security prison at Ryker's Island but escaped through an unguarded drainpipe. He was driven to the east coast by the FBI and various law enforcement organizations.
He hid out in a nuclear test site near Savannah, Georgia, and while on a nearby beach an experimental reactor's steam system exploded, bombarding him with a massive dose of radiation and apparently bonded his body with the sand. Now able to transform into a sand like substance he could easily elude authorities, the Sandman embarked on a criminal carrier that lead him into conflict with Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Hulk, and many other heroes. He also teamed up with the Wizard, and became one of his original Frightful Four, but the team encountered many defeats at the hands of the Fantastic Four and they soon broke up. Marko later broke out of prison with the Wizard's help, and broke into the Baxter Building a couple times, briefly teaming up with Blastaar when he first escaped from the Negative Zone. Marko even created a new suit that he used to mix various chemicals with his sand at the direction of the Wizard, made from Reed Richards' inventions which he stole.
Your History: William Baker was an ordinary man, he worked at Oscorp along the side with Norman Osborn who is now the Green Goblin, Baker was after the cure for cancer also, he couldn't find any test subjects he used sand and all types of stuff to see if it would work. When he injected himself with the subject he turned his whole entire body into sand. Later he realized how to control his power better he chose to be a crinmal if he can't help people he would kill them then.
