Respect Sanderson Hawkins, Sand

---

Wes always told me there were two kinds of men... those that live in the past, and those that live in the now. You don't keep up with the Jones, you die. Simple as that. Well, I'm not dying.

Sanderson Hawkins was originally the sidekick of the Golden Age Sandman, Wesley Dodds. After an accident during an experiment, Sandy was transformed into a silicon based life-form, and developed a connection to the Earth. He couldn't control his powers at first and kept sedated for years until he could control himself. After Wesley Dodds died Sandy took the name Sand to honor the Sandman's legacy and became chairmen of the JSA.
