Oscorp

Oscorp, also known as Oscorp Industries, is a fictional multi-billion dollar multinational corporation in Marvel Comics.

According to Forbes, highlighting the 25 largest fictional companies, it had an estimated sales of $3.1 billion, ranking it at number 23.

History

The corporation is based out of the Oscorp Tower in New York. It was created and run by its CEO Norman Osborn. Norman studied chemistry and electrical engineering in college. He also took a number of courses in business administration. Norman Osborn's teacher, Professor Mendel Stromm, formed the business partnership. Since Norman put up the bulk of the financing, they called their company the Osborn Corporation, or Oscorp.

Dr. Nels Van Adder, a research assistant, helped Dr. Stromm at Oscorp developed a performance enhancing formula which would later be known as the “Goblin Formula”. Later on this proved to be another failure for Oscorp as Norman Osborn died which left his son Harry to run the company. Since then there hasn't been one update on any projects that could help man-kind. But there have been rumors that there still are experiments going on in the locked up basement of Oscorp to date. While Harry Osborn hasn't been seen in months, there has been speculation that he could have been an Oscorp guinea pig and that he had been killed. There also have been rumors that Spider-Man has been linked into the problems somehow given that he has strange super human powers.
