- ―Sandman in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
Sandman is a Marvel Super Heroes minifigure that appears 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.
He has the ability to activate sand pits around the Hub world, and free-play mode on levels.
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
Flint Marko was an ordinary criminal until an accident turned his body into living sand. This gave him various sand based powers, and nearly unstoppable. He is generally an enemy of Spider-Man 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.
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.
