Origin
Bombarded by bio samples from
Quicksand and the
Sandman ,
Tony Trainer was transformed into
Sandstorm, by
Morelle Pharmaceuticals rep
Marcus Devane. The two samples had an adverse affect when they were irradiated with a microwave bombardment it exploded and
Trainer went on a rampage.
Spider-man rescued
Dr. Marla Madison who had earlier voiced her concerns about
Project : Sandstorm to
Devane. Then
Sandman and
Quicksand ( who were looking for their bio-samples ) arrived as
Trainer emerged as
SandStorm. Upset that
Devane was killed in the explosion he made a massive sandstorm and drove
Spider-man and the
Sandman temporarily away. He briefly fought
Quicksand but she convinced him that they were on the same side and together they attacked
Spider-man and
the Sandman.
Spider-man hit
Sandstorm with a chunk of reversed polarized shrapnel and it disrupted his armor. Before he was arrested, the
Sandman stayed with
Trainer to make sure he was fairly treated by the police.
Creation
Sandstorm was created by
Terry Kavanagh and
Alex Saviuk in 1993 and first appeared in Web of Spider-Man # 107.
