Honestly, it's probably a good thing that Sandman is one of Spider-Man's nicer villains. Imagine if it was one of the of the more psychotic villains to get such an OP power.
A perfect example was during the second volume of Marvel Zombies. Thinking that Spider-Man went insane and ate the rest of the Sinister Six (I guess they were friends in this universe), Sandman went inside Spider-Man and burst out of his stomach. Unfortunately it was the wrong Spider-Man.
I love the fact that one of the strongest Spider-Man villains either gets defeated by water and secluding him from other bodies of sand or in some incarnations, his morality and the fact that he isn't a bad person he just has to do those bad things to get money.
Venom looks fairly awful in 3 but the CGI for Sandman is pretty great. In fact, during his initial transformation the transition from CGI back to the real actor is pretty damn flawless.
I’m half willing to bet it’s because when it came to making 3, they were 100% confident in their ability to render sand in a believable fashion, but then Venom got thrown into the mix, and since liquid physics are the ultimate PITA for special effects, they couldn’t work out a good way to make it look less like a pile of black thumbtack.
Thinking about his birth as sandman reminds me of Dr Manhattan willing himself into physical existence. Which fits with the description of him having an astral mind.
After I learnt about the soul molecule it makes one of Spider-Man's lines in Spider-Man PS4 make a lot more sense as the line happens when you find a backpack with a vial of sand in it and Spider-Man says "I sometimes wonder if opening this would release the sandman" so Sandman's consciousness has just been in a vial in a backpack stuck to a building for potentially years
To be fair we have a “sandman” in our town. He traveled a lot in his life and has a collection of all kinds of different sands around the world. He enjoys talking about them and showing them off to anyone willing to listen about his travels.
I'm moving to Japan next year and this idea really inspired me- going to fill a jar of sand from my hometown beach I used to walk along as a kid and place said jar on a shelf in my house or perhaps to decorate my workspace. Wishing you and the Sandman all the best!!
I remember one time in the comics, the way that SHIELD imprisoned him was in a continuously flipping hourglass and when that didn’t work they just stuck him on a deserted island.
@@femthingevelyn someone probably said that and someone else said "okay, who wants to open that hourglass and try to put water in it?" And everyone realized that because they didn't do that in the first place opening the jar was basically suicide
In the Spectacular Spider-man comic, when Spider-man tried to use the ocean against him. He sunk down, only to land on the sandy ocean bed. Its safe to say he used this as an advantage. Using the massive ocean bed, he grew so large that he towered over an Oil Tanker and was large enough that he could have put Spider-man up his nose if he so wished.
All he would have to do is get aboard a cruise ship that's heading to Africa, then go to Egypt, and set up a life as a crime lord. He would be to Egypt what Wilson Fisk is to New York.
In my opinion Sandman is the character that waste his powers the most, in the majority of stories he isn't a bad person, just a thief with bad luck that needs money, thing is, he could make thousands of dollars in legal jobs, by using his sand powers, like the construction industry, he could have his own company of super powered individuals and offer to do jobs for half the price in a fraction of the time. He could move to Dubai and charge the state to clean the entire place of sand in 10 minutes where otherwise it wouldn't even be possible. The best part is that no Super Hero would try to stop him this way.
Yeah you also have to remember that ad cool as his powers are in most versions it takes away a lot of his senses, so since he's just living sand that his consciousness shapes to look human he still has no sense of taste, can't smell, or physically feel things the same way anymore whether it be pain or the touch of a loved one. So he's in what for most people would be a tortured existence.
Electro is another example of a character that waste his powers alot. Like instead of just zapping enemies he could be an op technopath, connect to the internet and become somewhat omniscient or be an omega level telepath by decoding every electrical signal of the human brain or any organism that has a brain. There are other abilities that he can use like matter manipulation or being able to manipulate quantum physics since electromagnetism is a fundamental force.
Sandman is ridiculously strong even at his base humanoid mass. Like a high power sandblaster can cause a lot of damage. And then there’s that bit in Marvel Zombies which was _brutal_
Ultimate Spiderman show showed a little of how scary Sandman can be (he became a full island's desert) He is just one of those characters that are limited by the writer.
@@leoneyamada5408 Yeah, not to mention the sheer ridiculousness of controlling individual grains of sand. He could just invade the bodies of his enemies with few grains of sand through the mouth or nose, and then destroy them from the inside 😁
I like how Karl just casually mentions how typical villains with a similar power have a nucleus that can be destroyed/isolated, unknowingly setting up a Chekhov's Gun. XD

Sandman was probably one of the only redeeming things about spiderman 3.. his "birth" was well done since they took time with the scene and he was well cast
@@originalname8541 in Spiderman 3 in the deleted scenes, the cgi guys made a miniature venom that hopped around in the jar instead of the symbiote slime, and to have the professor calmly talking while a miniature venom lost its shit was gold... can't find a link to anything on TH-cam tho
You mentioned hoovering Sandman up -- in his first encounter with Spidey (the original comic run), that's exactly how he was defeated. The part of the movie where he let Spidey punch through him and then solidified the sand came from there, too.
The part where you were confused about his superhuman strength reminded me of the Pixar movie "A Bugs Life" when Hopper explained how one ant is nothing but a whole colony would kill you ... and wall crawling could be due to a static charge for each grain of sand
I can’t think of Sandman without remembering the most brutal Marvel Death IMO. Marvel zombies when Peter pops up and he’s not sure if it’s a zombie so he forces himself into Spider-Man like a vore/gore hentai and blows him up until his stomach bursts in a pile of sand.
@@Wiki1184 It put it into perspective for me that even the sometimes quirky laughable rouges can take down an icon if they just thought about it for an extra second.
@@def_knell802 I'm pretty sure one of the lines from sandman in that sequence is to the effect of him normally just playing around with spiderman, nobody trying to really hurt each other but that Spiderman snapped
Karl mentions isolating the soul particle of sandman and putting it in a little jar. He actually does this in the Spider-Man video game for ps4. I believe that sand man jar is one of the collectibles.
I think the glass idea won't work is because as Karl said, someone taught Sandman how to change sand to glass. And idk, marvel science is WILD and doesn't always make sense.
@@Gloomdrake Chemical composition and grain size. Sand is a silicate, meaning that many types of stone will never be sand no matter how much grinding is done. at the same time, for something to be considered sand, the particles have to be a specific size (0.6-2mm)
But he can control sand over an infinite distance and make clones of himself! He could just leave the soul molecule at home or in a desert or in orbit!
@@leoneyamada5408 how can he get to another planet without a driver's license though? Jokes aside, I don't really get how "isolating his soul molecule" can be a thing while he can manipulate sand at a distance. Like, you put the molecule into a glass vial, and he forms around the vial. Maybe if this singular molecule was hermetically sealed and isolated an absurd distance, or cast out into empty space without other granular matter, does he lose this ability to control clones from a distance? Is there a distance limit on how far he can project his consciousnes/will and that is the distance the single molecule needs to be isolated?
@@Chris_128 I don't think a distance has been specified but it's not crazy far. In a few runs I've seen him imprisoned/isolated on a small island where he basically is the island but also can't leave.
@@TheLastSane1 In other words, the writers didn't want to figure out how to "put him on a bus" when they needed an exciting story that would be made trivial with him present.
The fact that Sandman has all of these powers, and still think being a robber is the way to go, is pretty hillarious. The fact that isn't a true monster though, is wonderful to see in a villain.
I like how Sam Raimi didn't want to put Venom in Spiderman 3 specifically because he didn't think CGI technology was advanced enough yet to make him look good, meanwhile he puts Sandman in the movie. Perfect logic.
"Sandman doesn't have a driver's license" My instant headcanon: He can drive, but the state of New York refuses to issue a license with an eye-color of "None"
Imagine the first avengers movie: You got the chitauri coming down through the sky laser thingy, buildings are getting wrecked, people are dying, and the avengers aint much help. In comes sandman, a sandstorm of epic proportions collects itself near the portal, and some lasers are being shot at him, but then he's like SYKE, and he ends up saving the day and taking the avengers for shoarma.
Wallcrawling probably involves shaping sand around the surfaces, matching the shapes extremely well, down to a microscopic level, and then contracting everywhere. Individually grabbing at each grit and crack doesn't provide much grip, but combined over a large surface area, all those microscopic grip points add up to quite a bit; would be sorta like he was a layer of cement over the wall.
i would love a redemption arc for sand man like in jail, spider-man would come in and just talk to him, and eventualy peter would say something like "you wish to do right by your daughter, right? then become someone that she can be proud of." and that is what starts his redemption, on bail he starts to change his life, he catches criminals, cleans the streats, takes on crossing guard jobs, maybe try his hand at sculpting. he does everything he can to be the person "she" can be proud of.
I love that they ended it with the Soul Particle because in Spider-Man PS4, Sandman is caught in that little glass tube. He has fought Sand-Man in that universe and he just locked him up and forgot about him ever since.
I see, but what if he become PlanetMan (sand is basically almost everywhere on Earth,right?) Then he put a bit of himself into satellites and send them all around the universe, would he become UniverseMan?🤔
Could you imagine if Sandman had half a brain and just used his powers to find hidden civilizations in say the Sahara desert, or find hidden treasure from boats lost at sea? Who needs to rob a bank when you can get paid legitimately?
A friend of mine does professional stump doubling - not a typo, stump doubles are amputee actors who are hired specifically so that their limbs (or lack thereof) can be used in VFX work. Usually they do this to make non-amputee actors into amputees for a film (they used that method in Skyscraper on The Rock), but they are also use in cases like this, where an able bodied actor physically can't do a specific action or movement realisticly, so the boxer you mentioned was brought in as a stump double to do it instead to make the VFX more relaistic.
I watched the 3rd Sam raimi Spiderman in the cinema when I was 7. I was hiding behind my hands because I thought Venom was so scary. I just look at him now and laugh
My question is, since sand js just really tiny rocks if he went to a mountain would he be able to take control of the rocks, and if so what about concrete and bricks?
Nope. Just a guy who's got the worst luck in the word. His actual soul is contained in a single grain of sand, so it's his actual essence, not a copy of it.
I misread the title and I thought it read “was one dessert away from becoming a content man” And I thought “the guy just wants an ice cream sundae. Just give it to him?”
As soon as I heard he could give Spiderman control over sand I immediately had a flashback of a short funny clip I saw about a spider that absolutely sucked at hiding in sand. They narrated it, giving the spider a cheesy Italian accent and everything.
In Marvel's Spider-Man ps4. In one of Peter's backpacks is a glass vial that contains sandmans core sand, a backpack Spider-Man just forgot about meaning sandman has been left in a backpack somewhere in New York for years
If you think Sandman is the one wasting power, remember that Hydroman exists. Controlling sand is cool, but controlling water is OP. Hydroman could potentially be a world-ending threat if he put in the effort to develop his powers further and push them to their limits. Yet somehow, he's still a B-list Spidey villain.
In the Venom movie whenever Venom talks to Tom Hardy I instantly think of pretty much every advert that involved a talking dog which was an advertising trope for about ten years. Specifically the credit rating one, though.
All this and you didn't even go into the psychological issues that sandman had that is what made him stay in New York, and what caused him such mental anguish... That child version of sandman is actually a more recent version he created of himself. I believe shield also has spent a lot of time with him.
I like how the wiki says that Sandman can replace sand he "loses track of during battle" It's just like he finishes punching out Spider-Man and looks down and is like "Wait, where'd I put my right hand? "
Continent man, PSHAW! Send him to Mars and he'll become Planet Man! Just absorb all of the red sand from the planet that is one giant continuous desert!
Imagine how powerful sandman would be if he were flown to Mars or some alien desert planet like Tattooine. He'd be planet man.

given that logic, he's on the level of a Herald of Galactus or some of the lesser Cosmic Entities

facts😂 venom from the 90s cartoon still gives the creeps though.
8:07
“I’m gonna put some sand in your eye”
13:29 It's implied that Spidey put the "soul grain" in a glass vial in the Spider-Man PS4 game
Why do all of Peter's villains have such impeccable wavy fades?
My question is, since sand js just really tiny rocks if he went to a mountain would he be able to take control of the rocks, and if so what about concrete and bricks?
Maybe if he erodes the mountains.
That comic where sandman goes inside of Peter and overfills him
ah man, continent man, that would be terrifying
"can i see your drivers license sir " no *falls apart*
5:32 no sandman does not turn you into another instance of him. He turns you into Gaara of the desert.
5:40 now imagine rock lee with garra's sand, same vibes
Wait, is Sandman an elemental like Swamp Thing? Is he living sand that only *thinks* it's Marco? Is he a baby living planet?
Nope. Just a guy who's got the worst luck in the word. His actual soul is contained in a single grain of sand, so it's his actual essence, not a copy of it.
Though that would be a AMAZING story line
Also I think that it is mentioned somewhere that he, and Hydroman are both elementals
Anakin Skywalker's most hated enemy! 🤣
8:30 this is actually how Spider-Man (I think in Sandman's first appearance) was able to to defeat him. With a literal vacuum cleaner.
You joke about just vacuuming him up but that was literally how he was defeated in the first issue he ever appeared in
Spiderman puts the soul molecule in a block of resin
I misread the title and I thought it read “was one dessert away from becoming a content man” And I thought “the guy just wants an ice cream sundae. Just give it to him?”
As soon as I heard he could give Spiderman control over sand I immediately had a flashback of a short funny clip I saw about a spider that absolutely sucked at hiding in sand. They narrated it, giving the spider a cheesy Italian accent and everything.
Give that power to Anakin Skywalker.
Fun fact, there is a comic where Spidey fights Sandman in the Sahara desert. He beat him by targeting the Soul Particle.
There was a couple issues of Amazing Spider-man where he was merged with Hydro-man into a huge mud monster.
I just realized... One thing that would be even more effective then water against Sandman... Cooking oil.
Sandman has no license, not because he is sand, but because he lives in New York.
In Marvel's Spider-Man ps4. In one of Peter's backpacks is a glass vial that contains sandmans core sand, a backpack Spider-Man just forgot about meaning sandman has been left in a backpack somewhere in New York for years
Sandman would be a great torturer, I mean, he'd just put one grain of sand in your eye and you'd tell him anything
I'd love to see a comic where Spiderman fights Sandman and he just gets the Soul Molecule stuck in his arsecrack. Job done
8:34 sandmans weakness is magic, him vs dr strange
sandman really asks "is anyone gonna man me a sand" and doesnt wait for an answer
Sandman is like Plastic man, but grittier.
If you think Sandman is the one wasting power, remember that Hydroman exists. Controlling sand is cool, but controlling water is OP. Hydroman could potentially be a world-ending threat if he put in the effort to develop his powers further and push them to their limits. Yet somehow, he's still a B-list Spidey villain.
In the Venom movie whenever Venom talks to Tom Hardy I instantly think of pretty much every advert that involved a talking dog which was an advertising trope for about ten years.
Specifically the credit rating one, though.
I just realized sand man can troll Peter by mimicking him then falling apart into dust saying I dont feel so good...
Good thing is he seems to like his human form. He can just move his mind through the desert
I was gonna ignore the statement about NYC not being near the beach but it was too funny 😂
I passed out with Spiderman 3 on the tv last night, and here I am watching this XD. Brilliant coincidences
Theae videos must be so fun to film lmao. I ever knew wikis could contain bits as silly as this.
I don’t know why but Karl always makes my day !
All this and you didn't even go into the psychological issues that sandman had that is what made him stay in New York, and what caused him such mental anguish...
That child version of sandman is actually a more recent version he created of himself. I believe shield also has spent a lot of time with him.
there is a sand grain that is him. spiderman invented a helmet that allowed him to control it
I like how the wiki says that Sandman can replace sand he "loses track of during battle"
It's just like he finishes punching out Spider-Man and looks down and is like "Wait, where'd I put my right hand? "
Classic drinking video!!! Missed you opening the bottle with near by items. Love superheroes Wikipedia
And I am one dessert away from being continent man
my favorite fun fact about the sand man is that he once inflated Spiderman to death with his sand
Decided to start commenting on every video over 10 and a half minutes as a tribute to my great appreciation of long form Fact Fiend videos
My mother confused you for Hank Green somehow and I think that's utterly hilarious
Continent man, PSHAW! Send him to Mars and he'll become Planet Man! Just absorb all of the red sand from the planet that is one giant continuous desert!
"Sandman doesn't have a driver's license"
So to defeat him I simply hop into a car and make fun of him. Noted.
Sandman would be great for archeological digs in Egypt or other desert areas
Spider-Man with Sandman powers, trapdoor Spider-Man
