Good afternoon, fellow classmates. I'm Flint Marko, better known as Sandman, and I'm here in front of you today to try to explain to you that I'm not just a villain and that I'm an antihero. I want to prove the idea that the decision wasn’t up to me, and also explain and reveal the life of my character. 
I didn't go out to hurt anyone or choose to become Sandman. Instead, I was thrown into a situation which I had absolute zero control over, and it put me in a difficult situation in which I had to learn how to control my newly discovered abilities. It was hard, difficult, and stressful. Considering that I had my hands full of many troubles.  
My daughter, Keemia was sick with cancer, and I needed to be there for her desires and to provide company considering that her mother, my wife, Rose Walker, unfortunately passed. My life was completely different once I discovered my new abilities. Yes, I know I shouldn’t have used them the way I have by hurting others and destroying our home. I'm sorry, my intrusive thoughts took over considering that all that I cared about was to make sure my daughter was okay. Before my abilities, I was a nobody. Just a normal person trying to provide for my daughter, but no matter what I did, it wasn’t enough. When I discovered my abilities, I felt like I had everything, because I was able to take care of my daughter. I turned to a life of crime as a means of survival. It was finally enough.  
I have tried to redeem myself to everyone by helping Spiderman defeat Venom and big Goblin. In the battle, I saved your hero, Spiderman. Without me, our home would've been destroyed. But no matter what I do, in everyone's eyes, I'm evil and deserve to die. Please understand that I'm trying to change for the better. Yes, I know the way I punished people was aggressive and revengeful. I promise that from now on I won't hurt anyone. I have officially made up my mind and I will, from now on, protect our city. Thank you. Sincerely, Flint Marko, better known as Sand Man.
