You could combine the Spectacular and Spider-Man 3 origin stories for Sandman and add a dash of originality by having him be apart of a street gang with Alex O'Hirn - unrelated to the Big Man's schemes - and Sandman would be doing it for his daughter, Penny, who's sick. He could also end up slipping, or losing his sanity, over time (sort of like a reverse Ultimate Sandman).
