Okay, I know Sandman has been defeated numerous times, but in many ways, he appears to have a huge advantage over many superheroes, at least on paper.
Spider-Man has found inventive ways to beat Sandman, and has experience in battling him. The Hulk is, well, the Hulk - and I doubt anyone can last long against him.
I think manipulation of sand particles and the ability to transform his body serves Sandman well (in theory).
I mean, what good would Wolverine's healing factor and claws be against Sandman? What good would Cap's speed and shield be against Sandman? What about Thor? I suppose that hammer could cause some problems against sand, but for how long?
It seems like scientific geniuses (e.g. Reed Richards) and those with magic at their disposal (e.g. Dr. Strange) certainly would take out Sandman quickly. And we've already mentioned Spider-Man and the Hulk.
But for those that depend more on strength and agility, it seems Sandman would be a tough opponent. Sure, they'd find a way to beat him, but many, including quite a few mutants, have powers and abilities that work very well against opponents whose bodies remain solid, but a guy who can change shape at will, and manipulate particles, would be pretty hard to beat, I feel.
They'll find a way. We know that. But it won't be easy. Again, I'll use Wolverine as an example. What use would his claws, healing factor and stamina be against Sandman's powers?
