Sandman was in a movie.

he seems flat

i think it was in the time's arrow novel crossover trilogy that hydroman and sandman are sent together to stop the heroes, but touch each other, get melded and horrifyingly neutralize each other

All I know about him is his TAS appearance.

Because Spider-Man writers would rather use Sandman because there's a depth of stories to draw from, an interesting character motivation with his adopted daughter and sporadic attempts to redeem himself.

Hydro-Man just isn't nearly as appealing to use.
His best chance would be to get stolen into another Rogues gallery where there isn't as much competition

He shouldn't be a Spider-Man villain for one. Give him to someone who actually needs it like Hulk. He can't hit water really hard. He would have to be Banner to beat him. Or give him to Iron Man. I'd like to see Tony try and science a victory. Or even Thor. I'd like to see what he does to electricity

I only know him from the cartoon and major problem with him is he was a toxic ex boyfriend

Water manipulation is seen as a "gay" power. Only women and effeminate men are given this in media.

This headcanon is gay.

Spider-Man's most popular enemy is considered gay by swaths of fangirls, why would that stop anyone?

Because Hydro-Woman would be more popular.

Because he was created way later, so he wasn't repeatidely rammed down readers throats during the first decades of Marvel

Even Paste Pot Pete is more interesting than him

he was good on spider-man 90s series

Hydro is too strong compare to Sand.

Sandman is cooler.

Sandman benefits from nepotism since he and Osborn are cousins.

is that Jerma

needs more porn

Only because he was originally supposed to be Sandman.

Because he's not a Stan Lee creation. I'm pretty sure most of the top 30 most prominent Spider-Man villains are Lee creations.

Hydroman is dumb. He's mad at Spiderman for giving him cool powers that are in no way a negative and in all ways a positive.
