Revision as of 06:18, 24 May 2018

The Olympus Group is a corporation that featured in Marvel Comics.

History

After the Asgardians disappeared during the events of Ragnarok, the Amatsu-Kami known as Mikaboshi attempted to conquer all the Earthly pantheons under his demonic rule. This led to him along with his demon horde laying siege to Mount Olympus itself with it taking the combined might of Hercules, Ares and his son Phobos to combat this threat. Mikaboshi was defeated and exiled leading to a victory for the Olympians but this came at a price - Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods had fallen in battle against the Japanese deity.

As a result of this event, the Olympians retreat and scattered across the mortal world. To disguise their movements, they took shelter in a mortal corporation which they named the Olympus Group that operated secretly amongst mankind. With the death of her husband, the goddess Hera took charge of the Olympus Group and became its CEO. As part of her plans, she stocked its ranks with the most villainous beings known to the Olympians who aided her in her goals. The rising star of the Olympus corporation later became a threat to Osborn Industries and its director, Norman Osborn who believed that the CEO of the Olympus Group was just a spoilt heiress with a god complex.

This chain of events led to a conflict between the Olympus Group and the Dark Avengers. However, during the battle, it was decided that the other side was a potent ally. As such, an alliance was formed between the Iron Patriot and Hera. (Assault on New Olympus)

Amadeus Cho was later overwhelmed by the Dark Hulk persona in his mind which caused a great deal of property damage when he rampaged out of control against his friends. In the aftermath, Cho was arrested but was not prosecuted as the city of New York decided not to press charges though did place damages of over $10 billion on him with this being the entirety of his fortune at Olympus Corp. Thus, the company was said to be going into receivership and Cho was removed as C.E.O. with his sister Maddy Cho being placed in charge over the distribution of the assets. (Incredible Hulk v1 #717)
