What's so tough about sand?

Spider-Man's 8th most deadly and tough-to-beat supervillain is Flint Marko, The Sandman, a foe capable of shifting into many forms. Just imagine; how difficult would it be to fight a guy who can become virtually intangible one minute, and as hard as granite the next.

And that's the problem. If all you've got is Spider-powers, you need to become more than agile with webbing. You need to become creative!

Thankfully, Peter Parker is a fairly astue scientist during his offtime. In their first encounter, he came up with the idea of using a vacuum cleaner. (Yes, I know, everybody talks about how strong The Sandman is, and then he's beaten by a Hoover!)

Spider-Man's Top 10 Greatest Villains is a weekly contribution to TSL, updating on a countdown from 10 all the way to his final, most deadly, foe of all. And if you agree or disagree, you can submit your own bad guy. Check this list out!
