The Sandman - Flint Marko
Flint Marko, otherwise known as the Sandman, is a minor antagonist in the Kingdom Hearts Unlimited Saga, first appearing in "A Year of Misery" as one of several mini-bosses fought in the Spider-Island campaign.
Marko was originally a hired thug for Tombstone's criminal operations, as he was always aiming for the big score to gain enough money in his robberies to live comfortably. He was later selected by Norman Osborn to serve as a test subject in sub-dermal armor application, but a freak accident resulted in him becoming a sentient mass of biological sand-like substance. He was originally apprehended by S.H.I.E.L.D. while going on a rampage, but he later broke out with the Green Goblin's help and now serves as one of his henchmen in his efforts to conquer Spider-Island.
