==Fictional character biography==
Simon Stagg is the unscrupulous owner and [[Chief executive officer|CEO]] of Stagg Enterprises and the father of Sapphire Stagg. Adventurer [[Metamorpho|Rex Mason]] wanted to win the hand of Sapphire Stagg. Simon sent Rex to Egypt to retrieve a meteor referred as the "Orb of Ra". Unbeknownst to Rex, Simon had his brutish neanderthal bodyguard Java attack him and leave him for dead. Unfortunately, Rex was near the Orb of Ra and was exposed to it leading to his transformation into Metamorpho.
===Later appearances===
Line 41:
* Simon Stagg appeared in the ''[[Justice League (TV series)|Justice League]]'' episode "Metamorphosis" voiced by [[Earl Boen]]. When some of his company's developments were becoming too dangerous, Stagg wanted to create the ultimate soldier he referred to as a Metamorpho, for the [[U. S. Military|U.S. Military]]. He had Java smuggle some chemicals for that into the country where one of them leaked and nearly causes a train wreck which was prevented by [[John Stewart (comics)|Green Lantern]]. Like in the comics, his favorite employee [[Metamorpho|Rex Mason]] was in love with Simon's daughter Sapphire, of whom Stagg was jealously protective. In order to "protect" his daughter, Simon tested the chemicals on Rex, who was transformed into a shape-shifting mutant. Upon learning that Simon was responsible, he went after him in which the first attempt had him frozen to below zero temperatures. When Simon had his men dispose of Metamorpho, he later broke free. During a fight with Metamorpho in the next encounter, an accident causes part of Simon's mind to end up in a [[Chemo (comics)|synthoid]] that rampaged throughout Metropolis. When the synthoid was destroyed by Metamorpho, Simon Stagg woke up in the hospital screaming. Simon Stagg later made a cameo in "Only a Dream" Part 1 amongst the villains in [[Doctor Destiny|John Dee]]'s dream.
* Simon Stagg appear in the ''[[Beware the Batman]]'' episode "Hunted", voiced by [[Jeff Bennett]]. He is among the corrupt executives hunted and kidnapped by [[Professor Pyg]] and Mister Toad for revenge after a land deal he was involved in resulted in severe damage to the environment. When Michael Holt and Alfred are captured, they and Simon Stagg end up hunted by Professor Pyg and Mister Toad. Alfred ends up injured saving Simon Stagg from a trap. Before Professor Pyg and Mister Toad can finish off the three captives, Batman arrives and fights Pyg and Toad while Alfred gets Stagg and Holt out. In "Toxic," Simon Stagg disapproved of Sapphire Stagg's relationship with the security guard Rex Mason and believed that he had bred his daughter to be better. Donning a ski mask, Simon Stagg set off an alarm and lured Rex Mason into the lab in "Project Metamorpho" where he trapped him inside and exposed him to the chemicals. Upon Batman's arrival, Simon Stagg fled the lab and deleted an incriminating security footage. Batman eventually learned the truth and told everything to Metamorpho in order to lure him back to Stagg Industries so that he can be cured. Simon Stagg allowed Batman access to Project Metamorpho where the antidote didn't work. After Metamorpho vanished, Simon Stagg attempted to pin the blame of Metamorpho's death on Batman only for Batman to show Sapphire Stagg the footage of her father's role in Metamorpho's creation. Batman then leaves with plans to leave the incriminating footage of Simon Stagg's role in Metamorpho's creation to the police. In "Allies," Simon Stagg was mentioned by [[Tobias Whale]] to have been arrested by the police at the time when Tobias Whale and his gang were robbing one of the Stagg Enterprise warehouses.
