Subject: Roxxon (Roxxon Oil)

This massive patroleum coropration is notorious for its determination to make massive profits regardless of any laws or moral principles. As such, it is involved in numerous criminal plots that require the opposition of the various superheroes to stop. The name of the company is a probable parody of Exxon, an American petroleum company often criticized for its profiteering at the expense of the environment.

Roxxon encountered numerous superheroes, it has most notably been at odds with Iron Man (Tony Stark), when it was revealed that Roxxon Oil killed Tony Stark's parents. 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.

Roxxon is closely connected to Brand Corporation, another for-profit company that has specialized in creating superhumans. It is sometimes been referred to as a Roxxon subsidiary, but it has sometimes made its own decisions and acted on its own.
