Sandman

Sandman is a Marvel Super Heroes minifigure that first appeared in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. He physically appeared in the 2015 set, 76037 Rhino and Sandman Super Villain Team-up.
==Description==
Sandman has laid-back, brown light hair with matching eyebrows. He wears a bright green shirt decorated with horizontal stripes in a darker and lighter shades. His muscles show through the shirt. He wears dark tan pants and a belt on his legs.
His physical minifigure is similar to the video game variation, but is half sand. His legs are light tan, and his right bottom half of torso and right arm are light tan. His face is double-sided, with one normal and an angry expression.
==Background==
===Comics===
Flint Marko was an ordinary criminal until stumbling upon a nuclear radiation testing ground which turned his body into living sand. This gave him various sand based powers, and nearly unstoppable. He is generally an enemy of and sometimes a member of the Sinister Six.
He is only interested in money and doesn't want to hurt anyone, which has caused him to have brief bouts of heroism, and even joined the Avengers for a while.
===Marvel Cinematic Universe===
Aside from an illusion created and controlled by Quentin Beck, Sandman's most notable appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a reprise of Flint Marko's role from Spider-Man 3 in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Due to Doctor Strange casting the wrong spell, Sandman is warped into Earth-199999 and needs to be cured and returned to his home dimension. During the film's final battle, Sandman turns into a giant and battles the Spider-Man variants at the Statue of Liberty.
===LEGO Marvel Super Heroes===
Loki and Dr. Doom ordered Sandman and the Abomination to hold Grand Central Station hostage for a couple of cosmic bricks (the Silver Surfer's broken up surfboard). When The Hulk and Iron Man arrived to stop them, they were attacked by the Abomination. The Hulk managed to defeat the Abomination, while Sandman used his sand-based powers in an attempt to block the heroes. He eventually transformed into a giant sand form that caught Iron Man and Hulk in a sandstorm. Spider-Man saved them, however, and the three superheroes were able to solidify Sandman with water. S.H.I.E.L.D. then arrived and arrested Sandman and the Abomination.
He has the ability to activate sand pits around the Hub world, and free-play mode on levels.
====How to fight Sandman====
On the right side of the location, Spider-Man uses a blue-red panel to make a rope, which can be climbed by Bruce Banner. Banner turns back into the Hulk to pull out green handles, destroying the silo and breaking it into pieces that can be built into a water cannon and fired at Sandman. Hulk faces Sandman and strikes the green wall. Then Hulk goes to the central part of the arena and destroys a pile of sand with his smash attack. Hulk builds a concrete mixer from the debris and throws it at Sandman; when he falls, he can be hit as before.
Then Spider-Man approaches the blue-red panel on the left and uses spider's web to unlock a switch, which is pulled. On the right side of the giant Sandman, Iron Man destroys a silver obstacle, then uses the second switch to unlock the water tank. When both switches are turned on, Spider-Man stands face-to-face with huge Sandman and uses spider sense; when another blue-red panel appears, Spider-Man hits it with the web and pull out. In the end, Hulk knocks down Sandman.
