Origin
Sandy Hawkins was originally known as Sandy the Golden Boy, partner of the Sandman (Wesley Dodds). During an attempt to develop a silicon weapon created from sand, the weapon exploded and transformed Sandy into a silicon monster. With no other options, Dodds sedated Hawkins and kept him in a large sealed basement under his home. Sandy escaped Dodd's basement causing various earthquakes because of his sensitive nature to seismic tremors of the earth. Subdued by the Justice Society and Justice League it was revealed that Sandy was totally conscious of all the years he was locked in the Sandman's basement. He was sent to a variety of research labs to help find a treatment for his condition. A scientist known as the Shatterer kidnapped Sandy and used his seismic powers for his own agendas. The Sandman defeated the Shatterer and used a carbon based ray on Sandy to revert him back to his human state. Sandy became immune to the effects of aging and was the same young age as when first transformed into the silicon monster decades before. Together the Sandman and Sandy resumed their fight against crime until Sandman retired. Sandy continued the battle as Sand until taking his mentor's title as the Sandman.
