Grant Conglomerates

Grant Conglomerates is a multinational holding company overseeing a number of high-tech interests. The true interest of Grant Conglomerates and its owner is profit at any cost.
Since the 1980s, Grant Conglomerates has used a number of different schemes to engineer superhumans. The company’s preferred methods involve various drug-treatments and gene-splicing, some techniques derived from the work of Nazi scientists (based on Ultima genetic secrets). Many subjects go mad or die from the process, but there have been a few rare success stories, most notably The DNAscent Process and some cybernetic enhancements.
Heroes have shut down various corrupt Grant Conglomerate subsidiaries over the years, but the central corporation carefully insulates itself from liability. It sacrifices a subsidiary and its management whenever things get too hot, shifting attention elsewhere. So far, no one has been able to prove any wrongdoing on the part of Grant Conglomerates or Jon Grant himself.
In Emerald City: Grant Conglomerates has long maintained a sizable division in Emerald City. This is not surprising, as the Conglomerate’s owner Jonathan Grant attended Emerald City University during the early 1970's. During this time, Grant was a noted part of the Emerald’s counter-culture and a close friend of local hippie icon Benjie Carver.
