| Danton Black was Dr. Martin Stein's assistant at the Hudson Nuclear Facility, and the work made Black snap, he started believing he did the real work, and Stein got the credit. After being fired for stealing from the lab Black claimed that Stein stole his designs for the plant's new reactor. The Nuclear Regulations Council was forced to hold of the plant's opening until Black's claims were investigated. While the plant was closed Black broke in to steal Stein's blueprints of the plants so that he could bolster his claim of creating the plant. Elsewhere in the plant Edward Earheart, student protestor, planted a bomb in the plant's reactor. When the bomb went off it bombarded Black with radiation. Black gained superpowers and took on the super villain identity Multiplex. |
