Queen Industries is an electronics manufacturing company [1] based out of Star City and founded by Robert Queen. Robert and Laura Queen were killed after their plane was sabotaged by Lionel Luthor; later, their son Oliver became heir and CEO to the company.

In 2009, Tess Mercer proposed a merger between LuthorCorp and Queen Industries after finding out that Lex had been spying on her. (Bulletproof) Shortly later, Oliver later announced to the LuthorCorp board that he had bought a controlling interest in LuthorCorp, with Tess' assistance. Before the LuthorCorp board could make a formal response, they were killed by a bomb planted by Winslow Schott. (Requiem)

The current state of the acquisition is unclear: Tess subsequently announced the creation of the Mercer Media Group (Turbulence), but has more recently referred to Oliver as her business partner and asked him to speak to the Queen Industries board. (Echo).

[edit] Notes

  • In Justice, one of the satellite companies owned by Queen Industries was called JL International, which for brief periods was the name of the Justice League of America.
  • Oliver sent Queens Industries employees Orlando Block and Wagner to kidnap Lex Luthor and find out what he knew about Dark Thursday, and how Lex acquired Zod's abilities. Orlando went against Oliver's orders to not harm him, and tortured Lex extensively.
  • Robert Queen, the founder of Queen Industries, was a member of Veritas.

[edit] In the Comics

In the early days of Oliver's ownership, Queen Industries made much of its profits from the sale of weapons and munitions. In "Peacemakers", written by Dennis O'Neil, Oliver discovers some of the disastrous impacts that the weapons he is making his money from are having in other countries. As a result, Oliver decides to sell off what is left of the company, giving all of the proceeds to a war relief effort. (This was a widely accepted retelling of the originally story of how Queen lost his remaining fortune to a man named John Deleon).
