Danton Black was an old enemy of Simon Stagg.
History
Danton Black was a former employee of Simon Stagg, who was researching stem cells to give his wife a new heart. However, Stagg stole the research and fired Danton. Danton's wife subsequently died, leaving Danton angry and alone.
Discovering his newfound cloning ability as a result of S.T.A.R. Labs' particle accelerator explosion, Danton embarks on a personal vendetta to kill Stagg and get his revenge.
Eventually, Barry Allen intervenes, and stops Danton by focusing on the "prime" Danton Black rather than one of the clones. Danton commits suicide by jumping out a window.
