Beyond Corporation©
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Beyond Corporation© is a fictional multinational corporation that is the primary antagonistic figure in the Marvel Comics publication Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.
What is now the Beyond Corporation© was once a high-tech terrorist cell known as S.I.L.E.N.T. (the acronym of which has not as of yet been explained). At some point before the beginning of the Nextwave series, S.I.L.E.N.T. legitmized itself into the Beyond Corporation©, yet did not abandon their ulterior motive—the location, activation, distribution and testing of various Unusual Weapons of Mass Destruction at various points throughout the United States of America. Also, through "faith-based bidding," the Beyond Corporation© became the sole financial backer of the Highest Anti-Terrorism Effort, providing them with extremely advanced technology, at the cost of needing to ignore the Beyond Corporation©'s actions; a deal that does not bother H.A.T.E. leader Dirk Anger at all.
The human resources department of Beyond Corporation© is staffed primarily by Broccoli Men, automatons made of genetically modified broccoli with software that barely passes as personality.
Beyond Corporation© is always written with a © to help emphasize its corporate inhumanity and overzealous copyright lawyers.
The Beyond Corporation© is led by Number None, a robot who bears a resemblance to the Broccoli Men, aside for two main reasons - one, he has a greater capacity for rational thought, and a snappy white tuxedo. The headquarters of the Beyond Corporation© appears to be a giant floating (upside down) castle, that seems to have it's own personal gravity field to prevent its occupants from falling to their deaths.
The Beyond Corporation© employs its own private army of previously unseen super-teams, including The Surgery, the Vestry, the New Paramounts, and, though yet to be seen, The Homosexuality.
Beyond Corporation is also the (new) name of an actual company, who may just not have known about the literary allusion they were making.
