Oscorp

**Oscorp,** also known as **Oscorp Industries** and previously **Oscorp Manufacturing,** is a science company based in New York City, New York in the United States of America. It was founded by Doctor Norman Osborn at some point during his life and is headed in the Oscorp Tower.

In 2002, Oscorp were threatened with US army general Slocum pulling out of their funding and giving it to their rivals Quest Aerospace. Even though Quest Aerospace were able to buy **Oscorp** after Slocum's death, Norman Osborn under the alias of Green Goblin was able to kill he board of directors. Due the announcement being held back, Osborn was still the leader of Oscorp but after his death, the company was taken over by Osborn's son Harry Osborn.

Upon becoming the new head of Oscorp, Harry funded scientist Doctor Otto Octavius on his fusion reactor, but the experiment turned to a disaster upon the day of demonstration. This upset Harry, due to the fact that he wanted to make a lot of money from the experiment. He eventually died, however, leaving the company's status unknown.

## History

### Early Years

#### Foundation

Oscorp was created by Doctor Norman Osborn, who in his admission, had sacrificed a lot to create Oscorp. Thanks to his leadership, Oscorp became a successful company and the company made a lot of income. Infact, they were the second-highest United States Military weapons supplier for a brief while. The company had also being designing flying gliders and exoskeleton suits to be used for the military.

#### Rivalry with Quest Aerospace

As years followed, Oscorp started developing rivalries with other companies that were competing to sell their technology to the United States military, especially the flight tech company, Quest Aerospace.

### Struggles

#### Creating Goblin Technology

Oscorp decided to create a formula that could enhance and perfect the human condition to high superhuman levels so they could create enhanced soldiers and sell it for the military. However, the formula had teething troubles: the formula was able to enhance the physical prowess, but it also had the effect of driving the user insane after it was tested on two lab rats, leaving one with the insanity and the other with the enhanced attributes.

### Harry Osborn's Leadership

#### Funding Doctor Octavius

Following the death of Norman Osborn, his son Harry Osborn took over as the new CEO and owner of Oscorp. He managed to get the company balanced and avoiding severe bankruptcies for the next two years.

In 2004, Harry continued to run Oscorp Industries and managed to prevent it from disbanding even further. When scientist, Dr. Otto Octavius offered funding from Oscorp to provide tritium for his fusion reactor and would make a breakthrough if the fusion was stable. During the demonstration, the fusion reactor seemed to work and many of the guests considered this to be a breakthrough beyond the late, Norman Osborn's dreams. However, the fusion reactor became unstable and almost caused destruction in the city, which led to Oscorp's reputation being ruined as a result of the failed fusion experiment.
