Editing Megacorporation (section)

== Megacorporations in Tabletop Games ==

*'''Arasaka''': All of Reagan era America’s anxieties about Japan’s economic and technological rise boiled down to a single Zaibatsu. It started in 1915, but began it's rise after 1945 when Japan surrender and Saburo Arasaka decided that "if Japan can't conquer America with armies, it can do so with corporate warfare". They eventually developed USB sticks that you could put a human mindstate on.
*'''Militech''': When Dwight D Eisenhower stepped down as President he said “beware the military industrial complex”, Militech was what he was talking about. The Cyberpunk World's biggest manufacturer and seller of all kinds of weapons with a vested interest in making sure that business keeps a-booming.
*'''[[Alien|Weyland-Yutani]]''': aka those dumbasses who keep forgetting that trying to weaponize a species of hyper-aggressive hive-minded xenomorphs with absolutely no concept of obedience is a terrible idea. W-Y is absurdly powerful though, enough that such issues seem to not phase the higher-ups while they fund their own militias and even attempt to sabotage any attempts to make them look bad, such as explaining why trying to clone said extremely-dangerous xenomorphs is a mistake.
*'''[[ComStar]]''': Telecommunications company that arose out of the ashes of [[Star League]] that had a monopoly on FTL communication and banking.
*'''Wayne-Powers''': From the ''Batman Beyond'' cartoon. To be fair, some might have called '''Wayne Enterprises''' a megacorp as well but being merged into Wayne-Powers and Bruce Wayne retiring so that a power-crazed asshole could take control made it a textbook definition of a megacorp that partakes in forbidden and very dangerous research. Even after being afflicted by said forbidden research, he remains an ass.
*'''Lexcorp''': Lex Luthor's personal money funnel through which he funds his many acts of villainy, up to and including giant robots. Said business is also the reason why he never seems to stay in jail and gets to fund bases for supervillains.
*'''Pentex''': What if the Captain Planet villains founded a Megacorp in an R Rated World.
*'''[[Shadowrun#Megacorps|Those assholes from Shadowrun]]'''
