Quote1 I started Oscorp because I looked at the world around me and I thought, "We can do better. And we should do better." Einstein said the world cannot be changed without changing our thinking, but change isn't just a slogan. It begins with hard work. Change begins with persistence and commitment. Quote2

History

Oscorp Industries is a multi-national corporation that was founded by the wealthy scientist Norman Osborn. The company typically deals with experimental science, military research and cross-species genetics. The company's official website holds information regarding their previous attempt to cure the cross-species breakout in the New York, which Spider-Man actually stopped.

When Oscorp scientist Dr. Curtis Connors used lizard DNA to try and regrow his missing arm, the serum took over, turning him into a giant lizard whenever he injected himself with the serum. He tried to use a piece of equipment called the Ganali Device to spread this serum all over New York, turning everyone it touched into lizards just like himself. Luckily, he was stopped by Spider-Man before he could spread the serum across the city. Much of Oscorp Tower was destroyed during his rampage.[1]

Oscorp electrician Max Dillon was placing a large wire into a vent when it suddenly malfunctioned and electrocuted him. He fell through several platforms into a tank full of genetically altered electric eels. They stung him multiple times until the tank shattered. Max emerged with blue, glowing skin. He had been turned into a living electrical capacitor. Donning himself Electro, he stumbled out of Oscorp into the streets.[2]
