Alchemax is a fictional corporation in Marvel Comics' 2099 universe. There is also a version of Alchemax that exists on Earth-616.
The Earth-928 version of Alchemax first appeared in Spider-Man 2099 #1 and was created by Peter David and Rick Leonardi.
The Earth-616 version of Alchemax first appeared in The Superior Spider-Man #19 and was created by Dan Slott and Ryan Stegman.
Alchemax is a megacorporation operating in the year 2099. It creates products for virtually every consumer need, has entered into endeavors normally deemed non-profit, and even manufactured an entire city to be maintained exclusively by the corporation. Alchemax has divisions affecting nearly every level of consumer need, society, and government. Their products range from consumer products to military weaponry and private space travel. Alchemax owns and operates a privatized Police Department Public Eye.
Alchemax is also behind another police force called the Eco Corporation.
In the Earth-616 reality, Alchemax started out as Allan Company, which was owned by Liz Allan. The Allan Company became Alchemax when it merged with Normie Osborn's stocks from Oscorp and the last remaining properties of Horizon Labs after its destruction.
Lightmaster assembles a more traditional lineup of the Masters of Evil when he and the Wrecking Crew run afoul of the Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus' mind in Spider-Man's body) and his Superior Six while attacking Alchemax in order to steal its technology during a plot to blackmail New York City for money.
When Spider-Man defeated Goblin King and unmasked him to be Norman Osborn, it was revealed that Norman Osborn (under the guise of "Mason Banks") created Alchemax in order to leave a strong empire for his grandson and establish an empire for the Osborn legacy.
