Just like the Spider-Man franchise's Oscorp, there are sinister corporations responsible for all kinds of corruption and villains in the Marvel Universe, though many have yet to be fully realized in the MCU. While standalone villains or teams of foes are exciting, the idea of an entire company or organization dedicated to evil is quite entertaining as well. It would certainly be a new kind of threat that the MCU could start tapping into.
Interestingly enough, seeds have been planted for a few organizations in other Marvel franchises such as Sony's Spider-Man movies and the X-Men franchise recently acquired by Disney, both of which have MCU crossover potential. At the same time, there have also been teases for evil companies within the MCU itself (without actual payoffs). Including Oscorp, here are 8 ideas for evil organizations and corporations that are missing from the MCU (and would be captivating additions).
8 Oscorp
Having played a significant role in both the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies, Oscorp is a large company with ties to the creation of several Spider-Man villains, most notably the company's founder Norman Osborn who became the Green Goblin (as well as his son Harry). While Tom Holland's MCU Spider-Man fought Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin from the Raimiverse, there's yet to be any sign of an MCU Green Goblin or a connected Oscorp. That being said, it's been theorized that Norman Osborn might have purchased Avengers Tower in the MCU for his own company after Tony Stark sold the building in the aftermath of Age of Ultron.
7 Roxxon
The Roxxon energy company has been seen in the background of the MCU since 2008's Iron Man and most recently in 2021's Loki series. However, it's only ever been a mega-corporation. While its corporate greed has been on display in shows such as Agent Carter and Cloak and Dagger, it's never been overtly nefarious compared to the original Marvel Comics. On the page, Roxxon is run by its CEO Dario Agger who sold his soul to be a literal Minotaur, often serving as a Thor villain with his company bankrolling all sorts of sinister schemes. However, that evolution for Roxxon has yet to manifest in the MCU thus far.
6 AIM
Advanced Idea Mechanics was introduced in Iron Man 3 as a science think tank run by Aldrich Killian and funded by the US government. However, beyond the Extremis project and Killian's attempt to control both the War on Terror and the American government, AIM never became the group of ongoing science terrorists run by a Scientist Supreme and/or their rogue creation MODOK (who has completely different origins in the MCU). While AIM could still be revealed as a threat in the MCU, they haven't ever resurfaced since Iron Man 3.
5 Essex Corp
Fox's X-Men franchise teased Essex Corp a handful of times as seen in Logan, Deadpool 2, and The New Mutants. Created in the comics by the villain Nathaniel Essex aka Mr. Sinister, Essex Corp sought to make profits by creating and selling mutants as super soldiers. They also experimented with DNA and the creation of new mutants using existing mutant genes. This is very similar to what's seen in the comics and Sinister's ongoing dark experiments.
However, Essex Corp and its founder were never fully realized as the franchise was essentially brought to a close following Disney's purchase of 20th Century Fox and the X-Men IP. Eventually, X-Men will be integrated into the MCU in full, as elements of the franchise have already been seen such as a version of Patrick Stewart's Professor Charles Xavier in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Seeing as how Deadpool 3 is continuing into the MCU, the possibility exists that Mr. Sinister and his evil company could become the MCU's first X-Men villains.
4 Alchemax
Another evil company with major Spider-Man connections, Alchemax is primarily a dark megacorporation in the far future of 2099. Responsible for the creation of Miguel O'Hara's Spider-Man 2099 who gave himself spider powers as part of a formula to rid himself of a drug addiction they introduced and used to blackmail him, Alchemax is incredibly evil. They have complete control over Nueva York which they built themselves and is policed by their own private military forces. Likewise, they've developed every product the city's residents could ever need, having a massive amount of control and power.
Interestingly enough, Alchemax was recently introduced in the present day of the primary Marvel Universe, though it naturally hasn't yet reached the heights of resources or power it'll have in the future. Additionally, Sony's Spider-Verse movies made the company a much bigger threat as the cause of massive multiversal disruption thanks to the creation of their super-collider. Seeing as how Across the Spider-Verse confirmed there are multiple Alchemaxes on multiple worlds with super-colliders, perhaps the MCU is one of these worlds with an Alchemax of its own.
3 Hexus
Many of these aforementioned evil organizations have a dark CEO and/or leader such as Norman Osborn, Scientist Supreme, or Dario Agger. However, Marvel Comics' Hexus is a sentient corporation that needs no such figure at the head of the table. An alien parasite, Hexus the Living Corporation is an incredibly dark concept where a mega-corporation becomes so large that it doesn't stop hiring and buying out competitors until everything becomes part of the Hexus Family. Employees become mindless workers who have no idea who they're really serving. Its advertising is hypnotic, and its origins are seemingly innocent as its birthed from local mom-and-pop shops.
Because Hexus is essentially a living idea, it's incredibly hard to destroy as it goes from planet to planet. As such, seeing a version of Hexus in the MCU would be quite the dynamic villain. That being said, it might be too far out of a concept to introduce in the MCU which has a lot on its plate with the current Multiverse Saga.
2 The Beyond Corporation
In the Marvel Universe, some of the most powerful figures are the cosmic beings known as the Beyonders, those who operate outside the multiverse. However, the ones that run the Beyond Corporation are considered to have gone rogue, having created their company within the multiverse as a means to simply toy with "lesser beings". As such, their motives are less about profit and more about whatever's most amusing.
Most recently, the Beyond Corporation secretly exposed Peter Parker to radiation sickness while hiring Ben Reilly to be their corporate-sponsored Spider-Man. However, they tampered with Ben's memories to make him their puppet. At the same time, they also created supervillains they believed they could control. This allowed them to send their own heroes and villains to fight wherever they wanted, using their battles as smokescreens for high-paying clients to do whatever illegal activities they wanted undetected with no fear of superhero intrusion. While it all fell apart after the company's scheme was discovered, it ultimately didn't matter to these rogue Beyonders who presumably enjoyed the ride while it lasted.
1 Qeng Enterprises
Marvel's Loki series featured a brief shot of a dilapidated version of Avengers Tower from another reality. However, this Avengers Tower bore the name Qeng Enterprises, a company in the original comics owned by "Mister Gryphon". Gryphon was revealed to be a variant of Kang the Conqueror who became a businessman in the 21st Century. Similarly, he also purchased Stark Tower in the comics as well. Seeing as how a variant of Kang at the end of Ant-Man 3 can be seen wearing a similar gray suit, it does seem as though Gryphon exists in the MCU's multiverse. Perhaps a version of Qeng Enterprises will be featured in the near future of the MCU as well.
