History
William Baker started out as a young boy with a troubled life. His Dad had left when he was young and his Mom was a drunk that worked cleaning other peoples houses just to keep what was left of their family together. He would always try to get his Mom to take to him to Coney Island Beach where he would make amazing sand castles. After trying to get his Mom to see his creations, which would rarely happen because she always was absorbed in her drink, he would sit and watch as the ocean waves slowly eroded his castle. Thinking how much that was just like his life. That nothing good ever lasted. Unlike other boys he could never just shrug it off and move on he was determined to find a way to make something that would last forever.
As a somewhat older boy he developed a crush on a teacher of his named Miss Flint that he would make beautiful standing sand sculptures for. On the day he learned that she just got engaged to her boyfriend who was a stockbroker, (the news off which crushed him) he asked her saying it was just off hand if he made a lot of money. She thought it odd but she said he did. That's when he proved to himself that only the rich guy's get the girls, especially the pretty ones. Staying in the room to mope, school bullies led by Vic came in and followed to destroy his work and pound on him as he just sat and took it. He snuck home after that, where his Mom followed to apologize. Saying if only she would have been able to keep a husband he would know how to defend himself, which only made him mad saying that "he would make them all see". At that age he practically came and went to the beach when ever he wanted to. He would watch the water and sand and how it worked so the next time Vic and his gang tried something he showed them. He learned that guys respected and feared that power, and how the girls were attracted to it and Vic soon fold him. But there was always someone higher up that would dump on him.
In high school he had a new name, Flint, and he learned to channel that anger. He would get in trouble if he did the beatings in school, but if it was in football, then people would love you for it. His now buddy Vic came to him one time in trouble with the Mob. He said they would kill him but if Flint threw a couple of games that they would let him off. So to save his friend he did thinking no one would really notice, but his coach did and gave him a peace of his mind. Then Flint showed him exactly what he thought of him. That's when he turned to crime. On his first time in prison he finally got to meet his Dad, and he would keep coming back to be with him but not telling him who he was. One time he was sent in but his Dad had gotten out, so he went after him. He was caught by the blast of a radio-active bomb that bonded his body to the sand. Realizing what he could now do he went to see his girlfriend Marcy's, who was always waiting for him along with Vic when he got out of prison. But what he found was not what he had expected. Marcy had been having a secret affair with Vic. That was the last peace. The old him would have killed them right there, but he didn't, even though he showed his rage. They where now too small for him to care about. He was now the Sandman. The super powered supervillian that everyone would now fear.
Powers
Sandman can turn any or all of his body into sand. Even if his head is sand, he retains conscious thought at all times. This makes him nearly impossible to damage. He can also control his density and harden the sand in his body. A common ploy used by the Sandman is to make parts of his body individual granules when an opponent attacks and then solidifying himself to trap an opponents limb. His control over his individual sand particles allows him to shape-shift. He can form huge sand weapons as hard as battle axes to attack with his arms. Sandman can also take sand particles around him to add to himself. He can then manipulate the sand as if it was part of his own body or disperse it out of him. Sandman also possesses superhuman strength, allowing him to lift 85 tons He has recently learned better control over his body and is able to make himself glass.
For a while, Sandman had a special suit made for him by the Wizard. This enabled him to mix different chemicals with his sand, so that he could create different things, such as an oil slick. He stopped using it after a while.
