On the day of the escape, the Vulture brings him a sandwich, and Sandman berates him, saying he only can only ingest raw silicones. At some point, Doctor Octopus makes contact with him, probably through the Vulture who was working as a trustee, and gets in on a plan to break out and take down Spider-Man. He is eventually taken into prison where he is incarcerated in a cell designed to release air pressure if he tries to escape. However, his overconfidence eventually gets the best of him, and Spider-Man manages to bathe him in concrete. Sandman maintains the upper hand during most of the fight. Sandman shows Spider-Man how his webbing is useless on him and buries him under girders. The ensuing fight drives the car out of control and they crash into a construction site. When he hijacks an armored car, Spider-Man takes him on again. He goes on a crime spree across town, robbing ATM machines and banks with relative ease. Sandman inadvertently slips the Big Man's name, and then takes off to rob more banks, but neglects to take the loot he had just robbed.

He proves to be an opponent to be reckoned with. Outside, Spider-Man is waiting for him, but, as Sandman, Marko is overconfident and takes on Spidey with his powers. He walks in through the front doors, takes the money, the alarm goes off, and burst out from where he came in. So he disregards Hammerhead instructions, dubs himself Sandman and leaves to rob the Midtown Bank. Hammerhead tries to play Marko against Spider-Man, but Marko is not so much interested in revenge as in getting rich. While being escorted out, Marko manages to reshape his entire body back to normal. However, Marko is able to reassemble himself almost back into his human self, but he is not happy with the results and starts hammering on the one-way window. During the proceeding, Marko morphs into sand and bursts, seemingly dying. He is then told that he will be infused with millions of microscopic silicon granules, creating sub-dermal silicon armor and making him impervious and undetected to scanners. Marko is then taken inside, where he's strapped and hooked to a machine by Dr. Gullible, Marko is riveted with the prospect of meeting the Big Man in person, but Hammerhead tells him no one meets the Big Man. Hammerhead tells him that the Big Man has had his eye on Marko and wants him for a special job. Marko is taken to an undisclosed location. Marko and O'Hirn step outside the Police Precinct to be welcomed by Hammerhead. Marko bemoans his bad luck, when a police officer informs them that their bail has been paid. As usual, the webslinger was swinging by and throws the couple in jail. They abscond with two bags of cash, but they don't make it too far. Some time later, Marko and O'Hirn rob another store and blow their way out into the sewers thinking they can evade Spider-Man. Marko is strapped to the machine that will change his life. Marko and O'Hirn are left webbed to their loot, and were presumably arrested. He then tells them to inform Shocker that he's up for a rematch. As usual, Spider-Man steps in and foils the robbery. Unfortunately for them, Peter was about to enter the store Marko and O'Hirn were robbing. Marko and O'Hirn assume Spider-Man is dead, and decide to grab as much loot as possible before word gets out and sets off a plundering spree. After Shocker takes care of Spider-Man, he releases Marko from his entrapment. The two tackle Spider-Man, but both are swiftly put away. Marko is more concerned in getting paid, but O'Hirn some payback. So, they rob a jewelry store and deliberately set off the alarm, and then they make their escape into a warehouse. They are assigned to draw Spider-Man's attention and lure him into a trap set up by Montana. Some time later, Marko and O'Hirn are back to business. Marko swings the bag of jewels at Spider-Man, but he is too slow for the agile superhero, and is quickly neutralized. Marko complains about being repeatedly foiled by Spider-Man.

When the duo is about to jump to the building across, O'Hirn is apprehended by Spider-Man. Marko is happy with grabbing a million dollar loot, though O'Hirn does not share his excitement because they have to give the Big Man his share. They make their way to the top of the building after triggering the alarm. On the last night before school started, Marko and O'Hirn rob the Jewelry Center. When Spider-Man surfaced as a costumed crime-fighter, Marko and O'Hirn often saw their efforts foiled. Flint Marko was one of the many robbers working under the Big Man, and his partner in crime was Alex O'Hirn.
