Sandman is of course dangerous. You don't get a membership in the Six without being dangerous.
The problem with Sandman is that he's an idiot with no real skills.
Of course, you could say with some truth that Electro is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, either. However Electro's powers are much more interesting and dramatic than Sandman's, and he has more personal conflict going on. Sandman has little personality. A million volts of electricity: you're dead. Blowing sand: it sifts into your underwear and is a nuisance, like last time you were at the beach.
Meh.
Someone recently posted a manip of Church [in another forum], it was a pic from another movie - "George of the Jungle"? I think it was...? and they manip-ed in some sand blowing around him, it was just so lame as to be indescribable.
