[Marvel] So how powerful would Sandman be if you fought him on a beach? Would he be have god-like powers when fought in the Sahara dessert?

He'd be powered up because he would have a lot more "ammo" and could easily slip in and out of his surroundings. It would be a lot of "homefield advantage." That said: Sandman can't infinitely control sand, and even if he could, he's still dramatically limited by the mindset of a regular person. He's not omniscient or a super-genius, he's basically a dumb criminal and the degree to which he can use his powers has a ceiling on the fact that he still thinks like a human being with a body. Like, realistically, it would be more "efficient" for him to move as a big abstract mass of shapes (dynamically reshaping for wind-resistance, stability, flexibility, etc.), rather than like a big man made of sand, but he still thinks of himself as a man, so, his transformations are truncated.
