10 Times Supervillains Killed Other Villains
5. Venom Kills Sandman - Dust In The Wind
Shortly after leaving his days as a hero behind him (because Marvel is a glutton for the status-quo), Sandman took to reforming the Sinister Six to go after Spider-Man. The stripy t-shirted villain recruited a number of legacy villains for his new look alliance, but also brought back an old one in Eddie Brock's Venom.
Venom, who had also recently reverted to type after spending much of the nineties as an antihero, betrayed Sandman and the two got into a fight. Things quickly take a turn for the worse though, as Brock takes a huge chunk out of Sandman's body, causing him to destabilise and break down, unable to stop himself from dissipating into a nearby storm drain.
It's a pretty awful death, and a tragic end for Sandman, who eventually winds up as a part of the natural scenery in a nearby beach. He does eventually return, but not as his old self, as the years spent separated from his corporeal form left his mind in tatters.
Poor Sandman.
