History

The mother of William Baker, Mrs. Baker was unaware that her son had become a wanted criminal -- William operating under the alias of Flint Marko -- nor of his super-villain career as the Sandman. Spider-Man first learned of her when, reappearing after having been away for several months as a member of the Frightful Four, Sandman broke away from their fight when he learned it was Christmas Eve, and he made it a point to always visit his mother that time of year despite his fugitive status. Sympathizing, Spider-Man even lent Sandman a gift he'd originally meant for Gwen Stacy so he would have a present for his mother.[1]
