Restrained Marko will be given subdermal silicon transplants giving him a hardened untraceable silicon armor . Dr. Octavius says that the experiment has too many flaws but Osborn commands him to go with it anyway . The experiment malfunctions and the silicon violently mutates him . His body evaporates into sand and Octavius , terrified , thinks he has just killed him . Suddenly , Marko reshapes himself , still made of sand , and viciously thrashes against the walls for them to let him out . Hammerhead and Osborn take him outside in their limousine , where Marko is able to reform himself in his old appearance . When they tell him he will work for " the Big Man , " but he decides to go alone and leaves . Hammerhead is fine with that as it means they will now have a distraction for Spider @-@ Man .
