bullet::::- sandman appears in "ultimate spider-man", voiced by dee bradley baker. in season one's "snow day", spider-man and the s.h.i.e.l.d. trainees encounter flint marko on an island that nova finds to use as a vacation spot. he first appears to the team in the form of the young boy sandy (voiced by tara strong) wanting to play with spider-man's team. spider-man's team finds sandy's "brother" who claims that sandy always playing in the ruins (which suddenly forms). when spider-man's team goes on a tactical retreat, sandy turns into sand and moves their quinjet to the top of the ruins daring them to come get it. spider-man's team end up attacked by sandy and flint who then forms a sand labyrinth for them to maneuver around. power man finds hieroglyphics where it said that sandman escaped from prison and was caught in an explosion that gave him his powers. the hieroglyphics state that nick fury dropped sandman on the island. flint and sandy combine into one which spider-man's team fights. spider-man fights sandman while the others try to get to the quinjet. nova lifts the quinjet as spider-man's team flies away until they are intercepted by s.h.i.e.l.d. agents; fury reveals at this point that s.h.i.e.l.d. dropped sandman on an island because no prison could successfully contain him. it is then shown that sandman had stowed away in spider-man's outfit as he forms in the quinjet and freezes the controls. upon landing in the frozen hudson river, spider-man's team had to stop sandman before he reaches land. iron fist cracks the ice and spider-man tells nova to heat sandman's body enough to turn him to glass. sandman was then placed in a special containment unit (which resembles an hourglass that is always moving) that would keep him from reassembling. spider-man notes that sandman's isolation on the island likely affected his sanity, which fury referring the situation to the equivalent of 'sweeping [sandman] under the rug'. in season two's "sandman returns", sandman is accidentally freed by awesome android and ends up stopping awesome android and putting out the fire awesome android caused. sandman stated to spider-man that he just wanted to help. fury mentioned that s.h.i.e.l.d. has been working to rehabilitate sandman and hoping to make him a hero. spider-man has fury let sandman be trained to be a hero. sandman is outfitted into a special containment suit (which resembles the suit that the wizard made for him in the comics) that limits his power by walter cage and amanda cage. as s.h.i.e.l.d. observe sandman's program, spider-man takes sandman to battle swarm where sandman's containment suit is targeted by swarm. spider-man is forced to get the containment suit off of sandman, pummeling swarm into submission. sandman is brought into control and apologizes for his actions. with advice from iron fist, spider-man trains sandman (equipped with a replacement containment suit) into being a man first and sandman second. when batroc the leaper is in the middle of a robbery, sandman springs into action, attacking batroc. when batroc throws a garbage at sandman, he ends up attacking batroc as j. jonah jameson makes a bad comment towards sandman. sandman loses control of his emotions and breaks out of his suit, attacking spider-man with a sandstorm attack. fury sends the rest of spider-man's team to help spider-man stop sandman. spider-man denies nova's plan to turn sandman into glass again as spider-man has a different plan. spider-man then tries to reason with sandman until nova arrives and spider-man throws awesome android into sandman's mouth where awesome android absorbs sandman. when s.h.i.e.l.d. agents arrive with a new containment suit, sandman is shot into the containment suit and taken into s.h.i.e.l.d. custody. he can be seen in "ultimate spider-man: web warriors". in the finale "contest of champions" [part 2], the grandmaster uses sandman's monstrous form against spider-man in a game of 'capture the flag'. spider-man tries to reason with sandman that he's not a villain to which sandman stated that s.h.i.e.l.d. has always keeping him locked up. the collector places captain america, red hulk and iron fist into the game. with an idea from spider-man, red hulk was able to heat himself up enough to turn sandman into glass, removing him from the game. sandman has occasional appearances in "ultimate spider-man vs the sinister six". in the episode "beached", sandman is captured and cloned from his sand samples by doctor octopus in order to find the 'ultimate sandman' via remote control that would join the hydra-backed sinister six. a pursuit of the vulture takes spider-man and iron spider to a nearby island the two young heroes fight off the splinter sandmen. iron spider stumbling onto doc ock's lab results in being imprisoned by doc ock as one of sandman's clones wears the iron spider armor to fight spider-man. as amadeus cho and sandman work to get free, spider-man fights doc ock, some octobots, and the sandman clones. upon spider-man and amadeus using an electronical disruption to deactivate doc ock's remote, the sandman clones are rendered inert as sandman reabsorbs them. after doc ock gets away, spider-man and iron spider allow sandman to assume his sand form in an area near the triskelion, telling him that he will be given a chance to join the s.h.i.e.l.d. academy whenever he is ready. in the episode "the new sinister 6" [part 2], spider-man asks sandman to fight hydro-man while the web-slinger goes after doc ock. both sandman and hydro-man were easily matched. after octopus island's destruction, sandman caught the escape pod that spider-man and aunt may were in and then proceeded to defeat hydro-man. in the episode "agent web", sandman was seen at the triskelion taking part in the beach activities with the s.h.i.e.l.d. academy cadets.
