Flint Marko/SMF02

Biography
Flint Marko had the misfortune of becoming a reluctant criminal-turned-supervillain. Unable to pay for his ailing daughter's medical treatments, Flint was forced to turn towards a life of crime. Flint became colleagues with another criminal and participated in a carjacking-gone-wrong, a crime that ultimately led to the death of an elderly man named Ben Parker.

After another heist went awry, Flint evaded the police and found himself inside of an experimental particle accelerator. Once activated, it bound him with the sand particles on the ground at the molecular level, granting him super-powers. Flint could transform his entire body into living sand and he became known as the Sandman.

The late Ben Parker's nephew, Peter Parker, now the costumed superhero known as Spider-Man, learned of Flint's involvement in his uncle's death and sought revenge. He hunted the Sandman down into the sewers of New York where he was believed to be killed after being washed away in the water.

He later reassembled himself and engategd in a team-up with Venom to get revenge on Spider-Man. After kidnapping Mary Jane, the two of them devised a trap for Spider-Man at a construction site. They nearly won until Harry Osborn - the new Green Goblin arrived. In the course of the fight, both Venom and the Goblin would lose their lives. Once Sandman realizesd who Spider-Man really was, he asked him for forgiveness for the death of Uncle Ben. Peter forgave Flint and with that, he released his human form and was blown away into the wind.
