History
Simon Stagg is an inventor and the founder and CEO of
Stagg Enterprises. His company is responsible for pioneering new, innovative methods in the fields of engineering, chemistry and genetics. Stagg, an unscrupulous man by nature, always resented the fact that his daughter,
Sapphire, fell in love with the adventurer
Rex Mason. Mason, a former employee of Stagg's, is more popularly known as Metamorpho – the Element Man. Simon always concocted various schemes to keep Sapphire and Rex apart – some of which, even put Metamorpho's life at great risk. Simon Stagg was responsible for genetically engineering the sentient Neanderthal man known as
Java. He kept Java under his employ as his personal bodyguard and chauffer. Stagg later manipulated events, forcing Sapphire Stagg to leave Rex and marry Java. Sapphire remained with Java for several years, but never gave up her love for the Element Man. Although Simon Stagg is not a villainous person by nature, his obsessive need to control his daughter's life, has often placed him in opposition to Metamorpho. To this day, he still endeavors to keep the two apart.
