Sandman

Sandman's weapons

Gas Gun: The Sandman's trademark weapon was his gas gun, a handheld device fitted with cartridges containing concentrated sleeping gas. Pressing the trigger on the gun released a cloud of dust rendering all within the Sandman's immediate vicinity unconscious. A variant of the gas can sedate and act as an �??Truth Serum�?� so the incapacitated (but conscious) victims tell a interrogating Wesley all he needs to know before falling asleep. A form of the gas appears to have been designed to cause �??sleep terror�?� in deserving opponents. During a dark time in his life, Wesley created a gas that would put its victims in a permanent coma. He only used it once in his old age, as a last resort. Wes was also known to conceal smaller knockout gas capsules in a hollow heel on his shoe. These proved ideal when placed in situations where his gas gun was not readily available. Silicoid Gun: Sandman briefly used this weapon to create sand and glass in different forms, as walls and handcuffs.

Sandman's equipment

WWI Gas Mask: At first the Sandman used a World War I era gas mask to protect himself from the effects of his own sleeping gas. Over the years he upgraded and refined his gas masks. Wirepoon Gun: He also made use of a specially designed wirepoon gun, which fired a length of thin, steel cable that he used to scale walls and swing between buildings. 1938 Black Plymouth: In the early days of his career, the Sandman drove a black 1938 Plymouth Coupe. The car was enhanced with various features to aid Wes in his crusade against crime like the interior of the bumper was lined with barbed spikes that detached with pull of a switch on the dashboard. He kept the car in his basement laboratory and could drive it out the false floor of a garage on the other side of his city block.
