Sand (y the golden boy)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bb/SandJSA.jpg
As a being of living silicon, Sand has a number of earth-based powers. He is able to shift his body into a pure silicon or sand-form, in which he is more malleable and is able to alter his shape and density. He can pass his molecules through solid objects that contain traces of silica and is able to travel through the earth as easily as one would swim through water. Sand can mentally manipulate the earth and soil in his vicinity, causing it to rumble, change shape, levitate, or burst forth to attack his enemies. He is also able to produce seismic waves which have the effect of small, localized earthquakes.
Additionally, Sand possesses a limited form of precognition, which manifests as occasional prophetic dreams. This ability was psychically passed to him by his mentor, Wesley Dodds, and derives from a connection to the Dreaming, the realm of dreams in the DC Comics universe which was ruled by the literal Sandman of folklore, Daniel.
Sand also uses his mentor's crimefighting equipment, including gas masks, gas guns, and a harpoon/grapple invention known as a "wirepoon" gun. These devices and his current uniform were constructed out of silica-compounds by the TylerCo company (owned by his teammate Hourman), allowing Sand to bring them with him when he alters his shape. Sand was trained as a detective, though this is an ability which he rarely utilizes

The Sandman has the ability to transform into a malleable sand-like substance which can be hardened, dispersed, or shaped according to his will. Even if his body is blown apart he is capable of reforming it.
He can merge with natural sand if it is in his direct vicinity like a beach or desert, thus he can manipulate normal sand like his normal body, add it to his physical size and strength, or use it to reform himself.
His body seems to take the physical and chemical qualities of sand, as once he was mixed with cement ingredients and was turned into solid cement. He remained alive like this but in a coma-like state, and returned to normal later.
He possesses superhuman strength several times in excess of Spider-Man's, making him an equal to the Thing.
