Line 160:
* Vexcor in ''[[Charlie Jade]]'' is the largest and most prominent of the five Mega Corps that run the [[Dystopia|Dystopian]] parallel world the protagonist is from.
* Veridian Dynamics of ''[[Better Off Ted]]'' is at least almost there.
{{quote| ''"And we never part with money unless a more powerful nation forces us to, and there are only three of those left."''}}
* Gracen & Gracen of ''[[Profit]]''.
* [[Globo Chem]] of ''Mr. Show with Bob and David''.
* Captain Sheridan makes an offhand reference to "Disneyplanet" in ''[[Babylon 5]]'', implying that the Walt Disney Company is dabbling in planetary government by the 23rd century.
** Edgars Industries, "the biggest biochemical conglomerate on Mars." William Edgars specifically enlightens Garibaldi about the real power in the Alliance. One of the major reasons Clark is giving [[Psi Corps]] extraordinary powers is because he is worried of the amount of control exerted by the Mega corps and want to return the power to the politicians... well specifically to him.
{{quote| '''William Edgars''': The Megacorporations have been in charge for years.}}
* In ''[[Doug Anthony All Stars|DAAS Kapital]]'' the world was run by the corporation-government Shitsu Tonka, which has declared history officially over and all art dangerous.
* ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', has the company that Barney works for, Altrucel. They are implied to make all sorts of weapons for war, but want people to remember they make the yellow fuzzy stuff on tennis balls. Altrucel later acquired an ailing Mega corp, the fictional Goliath National Bank.
Line 299:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[The Suburban Jungle]]'' had MegaHugeConGloMaCo, which was acquired by Amalgatronix Corporation. From the FAQ:
{{quote| ''' What does MegaHugeConglomaCo do, exactly?'''<br />
They merge with, take over, or establish corporate relationships with other huge companies with similarly vague names. }}
* The closest ''[[Freefall]]'' has is Ecosystems Unlimited. They control most of the colonized planet, own most of the robots, and even one of the main characters' ''species'' (and they owned her too until they sold her). This may be due to the planet not being totally [[Terraform|terraformed]] yet, so it's not very populated, and E.U. ''has'' to be there for the [[Terraform|terraforming]] to be done: It's their job, after all.
