Roxxon Energy Corporation (also known as Roxxon, formerly known as Roxxon Oil Company) is the name of a fictional massive petroleum industrial conglomerate in the Marvel Universe appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The company is depicted as having been run by various executives who are typically ready and eager to use any underhanded and illegal option to secure their profits, up to and including violence. As such, they are a consistent opponent of the superheroes, such as Iron Man and Captain America.[1]
The Roxxon Corporation has appeared in various media adaptations in many television shows and films set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Publication history[]
Roxxon Energy Corporation first appeared in Captain America #180 (December 1974), and was created by Steve Englehart and Sal Buscema.
Fictional company history[]
The company was formed as the Republic Oil and Gas Company, by wealthy oil tycoon Alexander Jones in 1932. By 1933, the company was a small business selling oil engineered after being bought by other companies. Eventually in 1937, Jones (who was serving as chairman at the time) ordered the digging of 1,000 acres of land in southern Indiana. It discovered massive oil amounts and sold the oil to other gas stations and petroleum companies, effectively making it a powerful oil company, turning Jones into a multi-millionaire.
This fictional company has encountered numerous superheroes.
The Iron Age storyline revealed that agents of Roxxon Oil (then known as Republic Oil and Gas) had killed Howard Stark and Maria Stark. Roxxon has also regularly been at odds with Project Pegasus regarding energy sources as the latter has been involved with alternative energy research that could hurt Roxxon's oil profitability.
The Roxxon conglomerate's central division is Roxxon Oil. The company currently wholly owns the Kronas Corporation and the Metrobank. The Brand Corporation is another for-profit company that has specialized in creating superhumans; while Brand is usually considered a subsidiary of Roxxon, it has sometimes made its own decisions and acted independently.
Roxxon has its own army-like security task force, and has employed a number of special agents, many of whom it has given superhuman abilities.
Hugh Jones had been arrested several times but has never been convicted to date. As of this time, the Roxxon Oil Company rebranded itself as Roxxon Energy Corporation.
In the miniseries Great Lakes Avengers, a character named the Grasshopper was introduced. Real name Douglas Taggert, he was an employee of Roxxon, wearing a suit of cybernetic armor themed like a grasshopper and developed by them to defend the company. Seconds after accepting an invitation to join the GLA, he was killed by the villain Zaran the Weapons Master.
In the GLX-Mas Special storyline, Killer Shrike (a former employee of Roxxon) attempts to steal "Project Z" from the company, but he is stopped by a new Grasshopper that defeats the villain. He dies mere minutes later after activating the suit's maximum jump, which launched him into space.
When the Red Skull was within Aleksander Lukin's body, the villain has used the former Soviet General's powerful Kronas Corporation and the Cosmic Cube in order to buy out Roxxon.
In Dark Reign: New Nation, Roxxon Oil's operative Anton Aubuisson massacres a tribe of Anuquit natives in order to build an oil pipeline, but their efforts are thwarted by War Machine.
Roxxon Energy is shown to previously have a mining operation on Mars, but (due to unexplained circumstances) halted the operation and erased all traces of everyone involved.[2][3]
Roxxon Energy Corporation (alongside Alchemax and Hammer Industries) was mentioned in a conversation between Spider-Man and the Human Torch to have once tried to bid on the renovated Baxter Building only to be outbid by Parker Industries.[4]
Roxxon later goes on an archaeological expedition to find a Wendigo. When the Ur-Wendigo attacks a scientist named Dr. Ella Sterling, she is saved by Weapon H. Though Roxxon takes an interest in Weapon H.[5] In order for Roxxon to obtain the services of Weapon H, Dario Agger sends Brood-infected creatures and a Roxxon-created spawn of the Man-Thing to defeat him.[6] When Dario gets Clayton, Sonia Sung, Dr. Sterling, the Brood-infected human Blake, and Roxxon's Man-Thing to hear him out, he states that Roxxon is wanting to obtain extraterrestrial resources, leading him to show the group a portal to an extra-dimensional region that has magic enough to power the planet for 1 million years. However, the monsters on the other side of the portal want to kill every human. Sonia advises Clayton to deal with the threat as he transforms into Weapon H.[7] This portal was created by accident and leads to Weirdworld where the shapeshifting Skrullduggers are among the creatures that emerge from the portal to kill humans. When some of them do, Weapon H fights them with help from Blake and the Man-Thing spawn as Captain America joins the fight.[8] It was mentioned by Dario in his discussion with Captain America that Roxxon has made agreements with the governing entities that they would not be stepping on anyone's toes, while also stating that the M.M.R.E.A. makes sure that the cross-dimensional mining does not harm any indigenous creatures, which was co-signed by seven multinational corporations, 112 Earth-based nations, 2,334 interstellar civilizations, and 15 divine entities, with the agreement also involving the fight against invasive species. Captain America advises Weapon H to take up Dario's offer so that he can be Captain America's soldier on the inside. 10 minutes later, Weapon H and Dario discovered that Blake and the Man-Thing spawn had help in defeating the Skrullduggers by Korg.[9] When Weapon H's group were captured by the Inaku upon their arrival, their member, Protector Hara, blamed Roxxon for unleashing the Skrullduggers, who have been on Weirdworld longer than Roxxon. When Weapon H, Angel, and Blake make their way to the Roxxon outpost and meet the three engineers and the six soldiers taking refuge inside, they learn from Dr. Carrie Espinoza that they have harnessed the magic that would help reverse global warming and end world hunger. Weapon H discovers that the magic that they are harvesting is coming from Morgan le Fay.[10]
Agger and Roxxon collaborate with Baron Zemo in a plan to make the HYDRA-occupied Bagalia be recognized as an independent nation by having the Mandarin (as Tem Borjigem) be the public face for Bagalia.[11]
During the "War of the Realms" storyline, Minotaur leads Roxxon's forces to take over Antarctica.[12]

Ultimate Marvel[]
The Ultimate Marvel version of the Roxxon Corporation is responsible for various immoral activities and is led by Roxxon Corporation's inept heir Donald Roxxon. Elijah Stern discovered a way to use vibranium as a power source for the company, but gets fired so Roxxon could get all the credit. This led to villains Vulture, Killer Shrike and Omega Red being sent to harass Donald.[87] Herman Schultz had gotten a hold of design weapons for Roxxon before Schultz's employment termination.[88]
The Roxxon Corporation later got a hold to a sample of the Venom Symbiote which was targeted by the Beetle. When the original Spider-Man fought the Beetle and the vial containing the sample broke, the sample was rendered worthless.[89]
During the Ultimate Enemy storyline, Roxxon Corporation's compound was destroyed by a bio-mass that was secretly created by Reed Richards.[90]

Furthermore, Roxxon's corruption resulted in Nuform's creator Rick Mason trying to expose its deadly properties before being killed by Krieger who took credit for Nuform. This led to the Tinkerer taking over the Underground criminal group to seek revenge on Roxxon and Krieger. A violent conflict broke out between the two groups, which Spider-Man worked to contain. Amidst this, Krieger also sought to utilize Roxxon Plaza's Nuform reactor to destroy Harlem, but Spider-Man and the Tinkerer foiled his plot by destroying the aforementioned reactor. Following this, Roxxon received several lawsuits and Krieger is arrested.
