between

FLINT MARKO / THE SANDMAN

AND

MORRIS BENCH / HYDRO MAN

Who is better, who is a better character, who has had better storys, who do you prefer?
what are some of the best story arcs for each.

Hydro Man!

I only wish Hydro Man would be brought into the Ultimate U now...

Hydro Man! He's the best supervillain to fight during the summers!

Also, sand is a major pain in the a** everywhere but the beach.

I voted Hydro Man,because he have much more untapped potential that Sandman.

Sandman by having been a villain,super hero and a villain again have been over used in the stories.

I like Sandman because he has a nice T-shirt.

Never knowingly read anything with Hydroman but I'm guessing he is a lame Sandman rip-off

Sandman by a long shot.

Neither. I like best their Mud-Thing combo.

So Batman's Clayface is basically Marko and Bench's lovechild?

Sandman, in pretty much every category.

He has better stories thanks to Lee/ Ditko, Lee/ Kirby (on The Fantastic Four), Wells/ Keith, and Van Lente/ Rivera.

He's also more visually interesting, as he can create solid objects.

Sandman, more iconic for a reason and overall FAR less annoying as a character while capable of being just as effective and creepy.

Yes.

Sandman. Hydroman is basically a Sandman ripoff anyway...

**ngroove** · 12-17-2012, 07:54 AM

Flint Marko?????

His name is WILLIAM BAKER. "Flint Marko" is only his thug name.

first Clay-Powered Clayface, was 1961. Sandman was 1963.

Sandman is a much more fleshed-out character, while Hydroman seems to be used as little more than a mindless goon (I did love that story where he and Shocker teamed up).
