8. Sand

Not often you see a gas mask on a good guy in comics, huh? Typically they're on supervillains or every serial killer in Ex Machina. But Sanderson Hawkins is just playing to tradition.

Sanderson was originally the sidekick to Wesley Dodds, alias The Sandman, a dude who sleeping-gassed villains right in the face. Sanderson, as a teen sidekick named Sandy the Golden Boy, spent a while kicking butt despite being, like, thirteen.

Unfortunately, Sandy screwed around with an experimental weapon and turned himself into a giant sand monster that eventually fought the Justice League. Y'know, like most of us did during puberty.

Wesley eventually managed to turn Sandy back to normal, leaving him physically in his early twenties and with the power to turn himself into sand. Sanderson took the codename Sand and adopted the prophetic visions of his mentor. He also served as Chairman of the JSA for a time. A true successor to a true hero, Sand has literally saved the planet on his own once or twice.
