Biography

Sandy Hawkins

With their success, the assembled heroes decided to reform the Justice Society where Alan Scott decided to make Sand Hawkins its chairman. Sand was deeply honoured and accepted the role but then his body transformed into sand that collapsed into the ground. (JSA v1 #4) He was then shunted deep beneath the crust of the planet where through an incredible act of will he managed to reconstitute his body to return to the surface before he suffocated. Sand then made his way to TylerCo to study his condition where it was determined by Dr. Iker that his body had become a silicon-based form. Hourman arrived after tracking his team mate and was informed about his comrades fate. (JSA v1 #5)

Sandy went to meet Carter Hall where he was ready to abandon the position of leadership to him due to his experience but Hawkman refused as he stated he was confident in Hawkins remaining as leader. Afterwards, Sandy went to check on Kendra who was upset after Hawkman visited her and gave her families as she did not want to be bound by fate to him. This resulted in her kissing Sands whilst he was consoling her. (JSA v1 #26) Sandy pushed her to the side where she confessed that she wanted to impulsively be involved with anyone but Hawkman. Hawkins forgave her and stated that he would ask Carter Hall to stay at a distance from Kendra Saunders. It was then that his attention was diverted to a fight between Black Adam and the Justice Society that erupted when Atom-Smasher punched Teth-Adam. He attempted to defuse the situation but Hawkman took charge personally at ending the fight. This resulted in Sands being angry at his authority being subverted and he confronted Hawkman where he asked whether he wanted to be leader or not. It was then that the Justice Society decided to put a vote on who they wanted leader with the group deciding on Mr. Terrific who became the groups new chairman. Holt apologised at taking the role but Hawkins held no resentment at his position being taken and agreed to follow Michael as leader. It was then that the group were all abducted by a retrofitted T-Sphere on behalf of Roulette. (JSA v1 #27)

As Mordru was weakened, his old over Sandy was gone and he returned back to his human form. However, the crisis was not over as the Earth had become geologically unstable due to the Moon being displaced. This threatened to cause earthquakes which could destroy the world. To stop it, Sandy turned into his sand form and journeyed deep into the core of the Earth where he used his powers to geomagnetically keep it stable. As a result, the Earth was saved but this came at the cost of Sandy who was unable to return and had to remain behind in the planet's core. (JSA v1 #50)

Overview

Personality and attributes

Powers and abilities

Mutated into a sand creature in JSA v1 #5.

He could use this ability to travel across fault lines to distant locations on the planet but had to concentrate in order to reform his body where initially he emerged as a naked sand-based humanoid. In time, Sand came to refine the use of his powers allowing him to pass through any objects with silica in it including glass and bricks. This allowed him to also not leave sand in his wake whenever he used his ability. (JSA v1 #5)

Tylerco came to provide him a silica-based fabric that allowed him to take his costume with him whenever he was travelling through fault lines. (JSA v1 #5)
