Contents 1 Formatting 2 Film - "Uncle Ben's true murderer" rumors 3 Powers and Abilities 4 Venom poisons the Sandman?

[edit] Formatting

I changed the formatting on this page a bit, so it resembles the format used for other marvel comics villains more and now the contents box isnt halfway down the page. This page still needs alot of work though! i'll add the copyedit link thingy. --Robje 20:46, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Film - "Uncle Ben's true murderer" rumors

OK... a while ago someone added this rumor to the page. Not long after, someone said that Sam Raimi had denied it. Later, someone removed the whole thing. Then the rumor came back. Can someone either check into this or drop the whole thing? Preferred solution: A description of his actual appearance in the trailer WITHOUT any speculation. - HKMARKS 00:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Simple solution - it's gone. CovenantD 00:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Of course, the silly thing only came back.  ;) I did some checking, found the picture that started the rumour. It's a fake, and a cheap one: [1] -- the tell is the white edge around Robertson's hand and Church's shoulder. I'm almost tempted to go through the DVD and find the frame the guy's face was ripped from. I could not find Raimi's rebuttal, so I don't know if that was true. I'm leaving the rumour and the evidence against it in the article, just so people don't feel they have to add it. - HKMARKS 03:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Powers and Abilities

Is is just me or does SandMan have mild color changing abilities, too? Why, you ask? Well, for starters, his torso and legs can be compleatly sandy-brown one minute and have the appearence of a green shirt and tan pants on the next. Should this be mentioned up here? --MrRandomGuy 07:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Venom poisons the Sandman?

I think Venom messed with the Sandman's body when he bite off a piece of Sandman. At least that was the story in Finnish translation. Sandman can't get himself together if some of his sand is missing. Lalli 18:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
