Alchemax is a fictionalmegacorporation appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. Originally depicted as a prominent feature of theMarvel 2099 alternate future universe, it has since been introduced into the present day comics taking place onEarth-616.
The Earth-928 version of Alchemax first appeared inSpider-Man 2099 #1 and was created byPeter David andRick Leonardi.
The Earth-616 version of Alchemax first appeared inThe Superior Spider-Man #19 and was created byDan Slott andRyan Stegman.
Alchemax is amegacorporation operating in the year 2099. It creates products for virtually every consumer need, has entered into endeavors normally deemed nonprofit, and even manufactured an entire city to be maintained exclusively by the corporation. Alchemax has divisions affecting nearly every level of consumer need, society, and government. Its products range from consumer products to military weaponry and private space travel. Alchemax owns and operates a privatized Police Department Public Eye.[1]
Alchemax is also behind another police force called the Eco Corporation.[2]
The company, later headed byMiguel O'Hara, becomes a guiding force for rebuilding Earth after multiple cataclysms.[3]
In the Earth-616 reality, Alchemax started out as Allan Company, which was owned byLiz Allan.[4] The Allan Company became Alchemax when it merged withNormie Osborn's stocks fromOscorp and the last remaining properties of Horizon Labs after its destruction.[5]
Lightmaster assembles a more traditional lineup of theMasters of Evil when he and theWrecking Crew run afoul of theSuperior Spider-Man (Otto Octavius's mind inSpider-Man's body) and hisSuperior Six while attacking Alchemax in order to steal its technology during a plot to blackmail New York City for money.[6]
When Spider-Man defeats Goblin King and unmasks him asNorman Osborn, the latter reveals that he (under the guise of "Mason Banks") created Alchemax in order to leave a strong empire for his grandson and establish an empire for the Osborn legacy.[7]
Alchemax later competes withParker Industries for a contract to build a new supervillain prison. In order for Alchemax to win the contract,Mark Raxton andTiberius Stone enlistGhost to help sabotage Parker Industries.[8] In the end, when the "All-New, All-Different Marvel" starts, both companies lose that contract toRegent's Empire Unlimited, with the company also being behind Ryker's Island being renamed as the Cellar.[9]
Alchemax (alongside Hammer Industries andRoxxon) is mentioned in a conversation between Spider-Man and Human Torch to have once tried to bid on the renovatedBaxter Building only to be outbid by Parker Industries.[10]
Alchemax has a division called Alchemax Genetics that is under the leadership of Robert Chandler. Alchemax Genetics later succeeds in creating several clones ofLaura Kinney, though the girls did not manifest her mutation. When the clonesBellona,Gabby, and Zelda escape and begin assassinating Alchemax personnel, they requested her aid in stopping them. Despite Chandler's assurances to the contrary, it soon becomes apparent that Alchemax is not as innocent in the conflict as they claim. Laura and her "sisters" are soon attacked by Alchemax Genetics' head of security, Captain Mooney, who attempts to kill the girls.[11] When X-23 andWasp are able to destroy the nanites inside the sisters, it triggers a signal that leads Alchemax Genetics' security team to one ofHank Pym's labs where Zelda is killed in the process. Before dying from her wounds after X-23 subdues Captain Mooney, Zelda tells X-23 to put an end to the experiments of Alchemax Genetics.[12]
Tiberius Stone, representing Alchemax, is seen in a secretive meeting at the Universal Bank withSebastian Shaw of Shaw Industries,Wilson Fisk of Fisk Industries,Dario Agger of Roxxon Energy Corporation,Darren Cross ofCross Technological Enterprises,Zeke Stane of Stane International,Shingen Harada of the Yashida Corporation, Frr'dox ofShi'ar Solutions Consolidated, and Wilhelmina Kensington of Kilgore Arms. The purpose was to confront Agger over his "discourtesies" with the Ten Realms of Asgard. Exterminatrix of the Midas Corporation shows up and knocks out Agger while claiming that she is the new member of their group.[13]
