Top ten evil corporations in thrillers

Looking for more shadowy conglomerates that make your skin crawl? These evil corporations in fiction show just how terrifying unchecked power can be.

1. Omega Corporation (Extinction Threshold)

Controls survival after the collapse. Resource hoarding, violent enforcement, and dark motives in a post-virus world.

2. Umbrella Corporation (Resident Evil)

Creators of the T-virus, Umbrella is the blueprint for bioweapon-driven corporate horror.

3. Weyland-Yutani (Alien series)

Risk lives for profit—and maybe an alien queen or two. Their motto: "Building better worlds."

4. Tyrell Corporation (Blade Runner)

Manufactures replicants, blurs the line between life and machinery, and plays god.

5. Buy N Large (WALL-E)

A deceptively cheerful megacorp that caused ecological collapse through overconsumption and automation.

6. Virtucon (Austin Powers)

A satirical take, but still relevant: Evil with a business model and a board of directors.

7. LexCorp (DC Universe)

Public face of innovation, private empire of manipulation—Lex Luthor’s corporate alter ego.

8. InGen (Jurassic Park)

Revives dinosaurs for profit. What could go wrong? (Everything.)

9. Oscorp (Spider-Man)

Home to genetically engineered disasters, unstable tech, and the Green Goblin.

10. The Network (The World's End)

An alien-run corporation that “upgrades” humanity at the cost of free will.
