Simon Stagg (Earth-1: Pre-Crisis)

Simon Stagg (died October 13, 2014) was the CEO of Stagg Industries.

Early life
At some point, Simon graduated from Central City University and became the Man of the Year due to his work on organ transplants.

Targeted
In 2014, Simon was attacked by his former employee, Danton Black, who acquired the ability of cloning himself after the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator explosion, in an honoring ceremony of his work. However, he left the event and survived the attack. Soon, CCPD talked to him and he supplied the information that Danton would be a possible suspect despite he claimed that Danton was a biogenetist and not a killer.

Later, Simon was attacked by the same "group of men" and escaped under the escort of Detective Thawne. Hours later, he greeted "Harrison Wells" and returned to his office. However, he was attacked once more in his own office and was saved by the Man in the Red Mask. After his near death experience, he was approached by Harrison Wells and he told him his fascination of the Man in the Red Mask. Wells then stood up from his wheelchair and stabbed Stagg in the chest, killing him to protect the man that will soon become "The Flash".
