First Appearance: Captain America I#180 (December, 1974)
History:
(Midnight Sons Unlimited#9/1) - During a live radio broadcast commercial during World War II, three women sang a short jingle: "Top off your tank with Roxxon, and give your engine a glow! Now try to keep your socks on, you're drivin' with get-up 'n' go!"
(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe#9) - By the 1940s, the Roxxon Oil Company had become a major northeastern United States supplier, with a sterling reputation in its industry.
(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe#9) - Republic Oil was incorporated by crooked Texas oil speculator J.T. Jones. J.T. built Republic into a valuable corporation, and upon his death, control of the company passed to his son, Hugh Jones.
(Iron Man: The Iron Age#1 - BTS) - Executives of Republic Oil and Natural Gas arranged the deaths of Maria and Howard Stark, and the two (with their chauffeur) were killed when their car's brakes failed.
(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe#9) - Roxxon Oil was purchased by Republic Oil and Natural Gas.
(Fury I#1 (fb)) - Roxxon Oil was one of several contractors who contributed to the early funding of S.H.I.E.L.D. However, they also were involved with HYDRA, helping them to smuggle weapons in Roxxon tankers. Their dealings were discovered by Rick Stoner, the first director of S.H.I.E.L.D., but Stoner was killed before he could report.
(Iron Man: The Iron Age#1) - Republic Oil and Natural Gas executive Simon Krieger, with the approval of President Hugh Jones and executives Jonas Hale and Gamelin, hired the Saboteur to sabotage Stark Enterprise's new SK-1, in hopes the failure will let them take over the company. The Saboteur was defeated by Iron Man, and the attempt failed.
(Iron Man: The Iron Age#2) - Simon Krieger sent the Dogs of War to invade Stark Enterprises and attempt to hire Iron Man away from Stark. Believing Iron Man out of the picture, Krieger (disguised as Tony Stark) and the Dogs of War invaded a multi-national business meeting on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Heli-carrier, and broadcast a televised ransom demand as Stark in an attempt to discredit him. Iron Man intervened, and Krieger and the Dogs of War were captured and arrested. To protect himself, Jones had Krieger killed in jail. Republic declared a hands-off policy on Stark and proceeded with their reorganization plans, adapting the name of one of their subsidiaries to become the Roxxon Energy Corporation.
(Ms. Marvel II#33) - Covert Air Force Special Operations agent Michael Rossi acted as a Roxxon representative during negotiations about a trans-Afghanistan pipeline.
(Avengers I#144 (fb)) - The Brand Corporation was officially purchased by Roxxon some time after the Beast left Brand and after the exposure of the Secret Empire's infestation of Brand devalued it.
(Alpha Flight I#92 (fb)) - In cooperation with Department H and the Canadian government, Roxxon's facility in Sault Ste. Marie developed a communications chip for the use of Alpha Flight. Suspicious, James Hudson (then Vindicator, later Guardian) broke into Roxxon's files (unknowingly allowed to do so by the project's lead scientist Cary Albertson and Department H's Major Chasen) and found file 211-34: "Weapon Alpha Bio-Chip Devel." (also seen were the names for files "211-33: Bio-Synthesis Project 1-A" and "211-35: Nth Projector Research Notes and opinions"). The Bio-Chip file revealed that Roxxon intended the chip to be used to allow not just communication, but also tracking, sensory manipulation, and even control of the superhumans it was implanted in. Department H's General Jeremy Clarke ordered Hudson, as Vindicator, to break into Roxxon and destroy the chip, which Hudson believed he succeeded in doing. However, Clarke and Albertson covertly were working together- in reality, both Department H and Roxxon maintained copies of the chip and its research.
(Captain America I#180) - Viper, leading a Serpent Squad consisting of herself, Princess Python, the Eel, and the Cobra, kidnapped Hugh Jones, President of Roxxon Oil. They were opposed by Captain America, in an early appearance in his Nomad identity, but escaped with Jones when Nomad tripped on his cape.
(Captain America I#181) - Viper and her partner, Warlord Krang of Atlantis, placed the Serpent Crown on Hugh Jones' head. Under the Crown's control, Jones ordered all Roxxon employees to cooperate with Viper and Krang. They traveled to a Pacific Ocean Roxxon drilling facility, which was drilling oil from the sunken continent of Lemuria. The Viper, Serpent Squad, and Krang were stopped by Nomad (Captain America) and the Sub-Mariner. The Crown was removed from Jones' head, and Viper escaped with the crown in hand. Apparently free of the crown, Hugh Jones reversed the Viper's earlier commands. Roxxon's elite security forces berated Nomad for his interference, telling him they had the situation under control.
(Avengers I#147 (fb)/ Web of Spider-Man Annual#5/6 (fb)/ Marvel Two-in-One#66 (fb)) - As anyone wearing the Serpent Crown for a good length of time permanently becomes its slave, Hugh Jones remained under the control of the Serpent Crown. However, Jones served the Crown and Set voluntarily, craving the power it granted. He immediately assigned Roxxon employees to locate and recover the lost Serpent Crown, and once they did, he began wearing it invisibly.
(Captain America I#185) - Hugh Jones, from a limo with the license plate ROXXON, informed Captain America of the location of the Red Skull's Washington D.C. headquarters. Aware of Captain America's presumably secret former identity as Nomad, Jones said he now considers his debt to Captain America (for freeing him from the Serpent Squad) paid.
(Captain America I#186) - When S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Peggy Carter and Gabe Jones called for back-up while investigating the Red Skull, the transmission was blocked by Roxxon agents and a disguised Roxxon assault team attacked the Red Skull's headquarters, enabling Captain America, the Falcon, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to free themselves.
(Web of Spider-Man Annual#5/6) - Hugh Jones used the Serpent Crown to establish contact with the Serpent Crown wearers of the Squadron Supreme's universe, notably businessman Gregory Hungerford Gideon and U.S. President Nelson Rockefeller. He exchanged knowledge and technology to the benefit of all parties.
(Avengers I#141) - Captain America, investigating Roxxon President Hugh Jones, followed some Brand security forces from One Roxxon Plaza to where they attacked the Beast. The Avengers investigated Brand's Queens facility, where Roxxon President Hugh Jones was in attendance with the Squadron Supreme.
(Avengers I#144 / All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe#9) - Hugh Jones removed both the Avengers and the Squadron Supreme from Brand by using Nth Projector technology to deport them all to the Squadron Supreme's world.
(Avengers I#147) - At Brand, Hugh Jones was contacted by the Squadron Supreme universe's U.S. President Nelson Rockefeller, the wearer of that universe's Serpent Crown, after the Avengers stole that crown.
(Avengers I#149) - The Avengers returned to Brand from the Squadron Supreme's world, bearing that world's Serpent Crown with them. Hugh Jones was captured by the Avengers, but no charges were filed and Jones was soon released.
(Thor Annual#6) - In midtown Manhattan, a half-dozen terrorists took over the offices of Roxxon Nucleonics, seizing control of an active nucear reactor. Thor intervened, defeating the terrorists, and he and the reactor then simply vanished for ten hours (taken to the future by Korvac) until both returned unharmed.
(Howard the Duck Annual#1) - Roxxon executive Mr. Petrie and his assistant met with Prince Hassim of Bagmom in hopes of convincing his father, the Caliph of Bagmom, to assign Roxxon oil exploration rights in Bagmom's territory. Rebels, loosely cooperating with Howard the Duck, exposed Hassim's plan and he fled across the border, ending Roxxon's arrangements with him.
(Web of Spider-Man#22 (fb) - BTS) - Due to interference from the American government, Roxxon had to temporarily close down most of its interests in the Middle East.
(Iron Man I#142 (fb)) - Arthur Dearborn designed Star Well I for Roxxon. Star Well I was a space station designed for gathering and storing solar radiation, and transmitting the energy to Earth in the form of microwaves. Construction was begun, but a necessary component of the station's construction was Vibranium, which lead directly to several covert attempts by Roxxon to gain this.
(Iron Man I#142 (fb)) - In order to make the staffing of his Star Well I station affordable. Arthur Dearborn voluntarily submitted to experimental alteration at the hands of Roxxon's subsidiary, the Brand Corporation. They changed him into Sunturion.
(Iron Man I#121 - BTS) - Roxxon forces located an Atlantic Ocean island which possessed an apparently natural quantity of Vibranium. Disguising themselves as U.S. military, Roxxon troops took control of the island and begin to setup mining operations, dumping toxic wastes in the waters below and attempting to remove the island's sole inhabitant, Hiram Dobbs, in the process.
(Iron Man I#120) - Roxxon troops masquerading as the U.S. Navy rescued the survivors of an airplane crash caused by the Sub-Mariner's interference in their operation. They misled Iron Man into opposing the Sub-Mariner for them.
(Iron Man I#121) - Iron Man and the Sub-Mariner united to drive Roxxon from the island. "Captain" Hale disclosed the nature of Roxxon's plans to Bethany Cabe and Jim Rhodes before destroying the island with planted explosives. Despite the "confession," the destruction left the real U.S. military with insufficient evidence to prove Roxxon was involved.
(Marvel Team-Up Annual#2) - After Roxxon opened an open pit mine near the isolated prairie town of Castle Rock, Montana, the town boomed from a cow town into a fair-sized city, and had political and social problems in coping with the growth.
(Marvel Team-Up I#87 - BTS) - Through an agent named Walter, Roxxon hired metals marketer Thomas Agar to frame the Black Panther and to discredit Wakanda.
(Marvel Team-Up I#87) - Hellrazor masqueraded as Black Panther and "kidnapped" Thomas Agar, all at Agar's direction. Spider-Man and the real Black Panther found Hellrazor and exposed the faked kidnapping. Though Agar was arrested, Rxxon's involvement was not revealed, and Roxxon achieved their goal of darkening the Panther and Wakanda's reputations, and disrupting Wakanda's economic negotiations as well. President Gamelin privately pronounced it as a "good piece of business" in their ongoing attempts to get ahold of Wakanda's vibranium.
(Marvel Two-in-One#58) - Roxxon executives discussed the failed effort to use elements of the Nth Command to destroy Project: PEGASUS as part of their overall plan to "gain a world energy monopoly by eradicating any effective private or governmental competition."
(Savage She-Hulk#5) - At a California press conference, Mr. Mason, a Vice-President at Roxxon, announced the theft of large quantities of oil from Roxxon's Los Angeles refineries through unknown means, but the public believed this to be a corporate scam. The She-Hulk found mobster Nick Trask to have been using the giant burrowing "Silver Serpent" to commit the thefts. She defeated Trask and the Silver Serpent and exposed the truth, restoring Roxxon's good name.
(Marvel Two-in-One#65 (fb) - BTS) - In order to locate the Serpent Crown which had come from the Squadron Supreme's world by the Avengers and subsequently dropped in the Pacific Ocean by the Vision, Roxxon created and outfitted a new Serpent Squad (Anaconda, Black Mamba, Death Adder, Sidewinder). Roxxon moved a floating oil derrick to the California coast, and set the Serpent Squad to hunt the Crown. However, the Squad's detonation of explosive devices during the search would later damage the Roxxon derrick.
(Marvel Two-in-One#64) - The Thing, Stingray, and Dr. Henry Croft stumbled across the Roxxon floating oil derrick off the California coast and investigated. When an underwater explosion damaged the derrick the Thing attempted to help, but the Roxxon workers were ordered to attack him rather than allow unauthorized personnel on board. Stingray, investigating below, was attacked by the Serpent Squad and knocked out.
(Marvel Two-in-One#65) - The Serpent Squad used Stingray to force the Thing's surrender, but he soon escaped and went after the Squad with Triton and Stingray both. They battled the Squad but Sidewinder recovered the Serpent Crown and escaped in an air-sub.
(Marvel Two-in-One#66) - Sidewinder delivered the Serpnt Crown to Roxxon President Hugh Jones at a Washington D.C. high rise penthouse apartment. Jones revealed to Sidewinder that he already wore one Serpent Crown and placed the second atop the first (they then merged into one); Sidewinder then departed. Joined by the Scarlet Witch, the Thing and Stingray tracked the Crown to D.C., where Jones had used the Crowns to place the entire city under his control. The Thing eventually wrenched the Serpent Crown from Jones head, and Washington D.C. was restored.
(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition#11) - Following his traumatic separation from the Crown, Hugh Jones was driven insane and was hospitalized. He was replaced as President of Roxxon by Vice President of Foreign Operations John T. Gamelin.
(Captain America I#251) - The Queen of Egypt, a Roxxon super-tanker carrying liquefied natural gas, was hijacked by Mr Hyde and Batroc. Pierce Benedict, Roxxon's Director of Sea-Going Operations, was contacted by the pair, and he agreed to have a ransom of a billion dollars in gold delivered to the pair in the custody of Captain America.
(Captain America I#252) - When Mr. Hyde decided to destroy the Queen of Egypt by crashing it into New York City even after receiving the ransom, Batroc arranged Captain America's escape and the two stopped Hyde. Batroc escaped with Roxxon's gold, but Captain America tracked him down and retrieved Roxxon's money in the end.
(Iron Man I#140) - An accident on board Star Well I resulted in a beam of microwave radiation almost ten miles in diameter killing over 200 people in Allantown, Iowa.
(Iron Man I#142) - When S.H.I.E.L.D. requisitioned aid from Stark International for an investigation into the Allantown disaster, Senator Chad Mountebank was sent to strong-arm Tony Stark into denying S.H.I.E.L.D. access. When that failed, Roxxon executive Hale ordered Stark International's Head of Communications Michael Thomas (secretly a Roxxon sleeper / corporate spy) to disrupt S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation, which he did using a stolen prototype Jupiter Lander Vehicle.
(Iron Man I#143) - Iron Man found Star Well I. In defending it from meteors, he met Arthur Dearborn, whom he learned was Sunturion, and Dearborn related the history of Star Well I and Roxxon's involvement in it. After Iron Man and Sunturion cooperated to defend the station from a Russian attack, Roxxon executive Jonas Hale learned of Iron Man's involvement and ordered the stations destruction, which Iron Man prevented. When iron Man attempted to dismantle the station, Sunturion stopped him, and their battle inadvertently sent the station plummeting out of orbit.
(Iron Man I#143) - Unable to save Star Well I, Iron Man and Sunturion cooperated to cause the station to plummet harmlessly into the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately, Sunturion was apparently disintegrated in the effort. Roxxon managed to cover up the Allantown, Iowa disaster as an Anthrax epidemic, even hosting a celebrity golf tournament to benefit the Allantown families.
(Iron Man I#144) - Stark International requested a Senate investigation into Roxxon, alleging ties to the Allantown "Anthrax incident." Later, at an electronics engineering convention in Dallas, Texas, Jonas Hale of Roxxon interrupted a meeting between Stark and Augustine Cross of CTE, slapping a "Roxxon: Your Energy Friend" button on Stark (who quickly threw it away). The following night, after Iron Man had battled the Raiders (and lost), Hale encountered Stark at a cocktail party and told him he was "not sorry" to see Iron Man embarassed.
(Iron Man I#145) - Tony Stark's photographs of Star Well I turned out to have been fogged by a boost of radioactivity he later received, thus eliminating the last real evidence tying Roxxon to the Allantown incident.
(Marvel Two-in-One I#73) - After Quasar and the Thing invade an Nthe Command base beneath New York and were briefly shunted to an extradimensional oil facility, project director Bennett Pittman revealed to the Thing that Roxxon was behind the Nth Command and their earlier attempts to destroy Project: PEGASUS. Though the extradimensional and New York facilities were both destroyed, Roxxon's involvement could not be proven.
(Amazing Spider-Man I#230) - While battling the Juggernaut, Spider-Man confiscated a Roxxon Oil truck from its driver and drove the gasoline-filled vehicle right at the Juggernaut, but the resulting explosion did not harm the Juggernaut.
(Amazing Spider-Man Annual I#16) - South American generalissimo Ernesto Ramirez sought to fund the work of Professor Andre LeClare, who had devised a process to draw energy form other dimensions. Not wanted to see his work used for weaponry, LeClare declined, and Ramirez hired LeClare's former assistant, Felipe Picaro, to continue the work in a lab located on Roxxon Oil Tower #25 (then leased to Guarina Petrochemicals Ltd), in the Gulf of Mexico. LeClare and New Orleans harbor officer Monica Rambeau investigated and stopped the experiment, but not before Rambeau was transformed into Captain Marvel.
(Amazing Spider-Man I#235) - Raymond Royton, special investigator for the Department of Justice, revealed to three Daily Bugle executives and reporters (Jameson, Robertson, Leeds) that the DoJ had been conducting a long-term investigation into Roxxon (and subsidiary corporation Brand), and asked the Bugle to curtail its ongoing coverage of Brand for fear that it would harm Justice's case. The Bugle agreed.
(Amazing Spider-Man I#236) - Roxxon President Gamelin, acting on directives from Chairman of the Board D'Angelo, ordered the closure of Roxxon's Brand subsidiary, and promised a personal investigation into Brand President James Melvin's purported activities in creating superhumans. Needless to say, Gamelin had been aware of Brand's activities and even directly intervened to aid in damage control, ordering Roxxon subsidiary WYDY TV (New York City) to cease coverage of Melvin's kidnapping.
(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe#9) - At some point in time, Roxxon President John T. Gamelin was replaced by a Deltite controlled Deltan-model LMD. Gamelin slowly became less active in the company, and the Board took greater control over day-to-day operations.
(Alpha Flight I#12 (fb)) - Jerry Jaxon presented Roxxon Chairman August D'Angelo with news of the identity of Alpha Flight's Guardian, and Jaxon was hired as an Associate Vice-President and given Delphine Courtney as an assistant. Jaxon began planning the creation of Omega Flight and his eventual revenge against Guardian.
(Alpha Flight I#6) - Roxxon offered James MacDonald Hudson, whom they now knew to be Alpha Flight's Guardian, a position in their New York division.
(Moon Knight I#36) - Roxxon agreed to match a donation from Steven Grant to a major New York museum for a new Egyptian wing.
(Alpha Flight I#11) - Jerry Jaxon and Delphine Courtney gathered Omega Flight in a New York office, and brought James Hudson (Guardian) and his wife Heather there.
(Alpha Flight I#12) - Jaxon, in the armor of Omega Flight's Box, attempted to destroy Guardian, but was apparently killed in the fight. Guardian was also publicly believed dead for some time as well.
(Iron Man Annual#9 (fb)) - Roxxon reintegrated Sunturion.
(Web of Spider-Man I#17 (fb)) - Representatives of Roxxon contacted Jonathan Darque, a.k.a. Magma, and placed him in charge of a secret underground research complex near Temple Corners, Virginia. Darque discovered a savant child in the town, Seth Hanks, and through the child developed a system of broadcast power "bombs."
(Web of Spider-Man I#16) - Seth Hanks, with his mother Charla, escaped the Temple Corners underground facility, but were quickly recaptured. Joy Mercado and Peter Parker of Now Magazine came to town investigating stories of labor unrest, met Charla, and were taken to the complex, where they learned of Roxxon and Magma's involvement.
(Web of Spider-Man I#17) - Spider-Man opposed Magma/Darque, and their battle inadvertently flooded the underground complex with lava, apparently destroying it.
(Web of Spider-Man I#19) - Now Magazine's Joy Mercado noted that all evidence of Roxxon's involvement with the Temple Corners facility was destroyed in the facility. Her story blocked, Joy decided to pursue Roxxon activities in Great Britain.
(Web of Spider-Man I#22) - Ian Forbes, head of Roxxon's Belfast (Ireland) facility, spearheaded the development of the AK-X AntiPersonnel Particle Beam Cannon. When the Pentagon terminated their production contract (citing the tendency of the cannon to explode), Roxxon's Board of Directors demanded Forbes find a market for the weapon. Forbes targeted the United Kingdom, and created counterfeit Irish terrorists, the Black Hoods, to spark British retaliation against the Irish while employing British Secret Agent 003 (Duncan O'Neill, a Roxxon agent within MI-5) to feed false information to the British government. Spider-Man (with the aid of reporter Joy Mercado) stopped the scheme, and Forbes and O'Neill were killed when their male supervisor at Roxxon destroyed their helicopter.
(Alpha Flight I#90 (fb) ) - A Roxxon Oil research ship found the comatose body of James MacDonald Hudson (Alpha Flight's Guardian) floating in the Pacific Ocean just off the British Columbia coast, interfaced into some very alien technology. Roxxon officials brought the body to the Denver Roxxon Energy Research Facility, where, under the direction of Facility Director Samuel Higgins, they would spend the next two years studying it, keeping MacDonald comatose. Higgins would argue continually throughout this time that Hudson was a potential threat and needed terminated, but was overruled by Roxxon executives who saw great potential profit in studying the alien technologies.
(Avengers I#279) - Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) returned to Roxxon Oil Tower #25, where she had received her powers, and found it abandoned.
(Iron Man I#220 (fb) - BTS) - Mr. Tappan of Roxxon's Los Angeles based West Coast division hired the Ghost as a freelance operative to destroy Accutech Enterprises so that Roxxon could more easily acquire that company's Beta Generator device.
(Iron Man I#219) - When Tony Stark tried to buy Accutech, Iron Man became involved in stopping the Ghost's Roxxon-sponsored attempts to destroy Accutech. Iron Man initially stopped the Ghost, but the Ghost did escape.
(Iron Man I#220) - Mr. Tappan's superior, Carrington Pax, fired the Ghost (with full pay) as a result of his involvement with Iron Man. The Ghost angrily announced his intent to finish the job anyway, and so Pax hired Spymaster to kill the Ghost. When Iron Man, the Ghost, and Spymaster all intersected at Accutech, the Ghost killed Spymaster, and Accutech survived.
(Iron Man I#221) - The Ghost again attacked Accutech, but Iron Man was prepared and the Ghost was apparently killed. Roxxon's involvement remained unexposed.
(Iron Man Annual#9) - Jonas Hale and Douglas Bravner ordered Roxxon operative Stratosfire to Costa Gravas, Central America, to destroy a refining facility there. Statosfire's friend and fellow Roxxon employee, Babs Bendix, grew worried about her friend and talked to Iron Man, at which point Hale ordered security operative Carson to kill Ms. Bendix. Learning of her friend's death, Stratosfire became unbalanced, seriously damaging the Roxxon Monolith, destroying a nuclear power plant, and attacking a U.S. military base in San Diego. Stopped at the military base by Iron Man and Sunturion, Stratosfire attempted to attach a NASA space shuttle, but Iron Man and Sunturion talked her out of it. Stratosfire was apparently destroyed when Hale activated a "Zed Control," a remote-control self-destruct device. In the presence of an eavesdropping Hale, Sunturion claimed Stratosfire's explosion cured him of being Sunturion.
(Nick Fury Vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#1 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, Nick Fury placed his sleeper agent Jack Rollins in an undercover position at the Roxxon Industrial Research Complex in New Jersey. Unknown to Fury, Roxxon had made an alliance with the Deltite, a Hydra-created sentient LMD who had usurped control of S.H.I.E.L.D. Because S.H.I.E.L.D. lacked the financial resources needed for the Deltite plans, it had made an alliance with Roxxon, using Project: Delta to capture S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and replace them with LMDs.
(Nick Fury Vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#1) - Rollins summoned Fury to the New Jersey Roxxon plant and led him to a section devoted to Project: Delta, which contained a vast amount of classified S.H.I.E.L.D. data. They also witnessed a ceremony in the plant performed by Encoders, LMDs who followed the Deltite. When Fury alerted S.H.I.E.L.D.'s council to what he had discovered, they sent an LMD of Jimmy Woo to capture Rollins and replace him with an LMD.
(Nick Fury Vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#4) - Acting on behalf of the Deltite, Roxxon summoned prominent businessmen from companies including Sony, BMW, ATT and Imperial Chemical Industries to a conference in Colorado.

(Nick Fury Vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#5) - After the businessmen had gathered at Roxxon House in Colorado, an LMD of Laura Brown gassed the entire room and turned them over to Encoders so that they could be replaced in Project: Delta. As Jones and Dugan began their investigation, their craft was shot down by the plant by anti-aircraft technology that belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D. An Encoder confronted Jones and Dugan outside of the complex, until all of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and LMDs at the complex were gathered up in a vessel to the S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite. The Encoder then perished.

(Alpha Flight I#87) - Colin Ashworth Hume, a.k.a. Windshear, was remanded by Roxxon's Super Human Division from their United Kingdom branch to their Denver facility. The body of James MacDonald Hudson (Alpha Flight's Guardian) had been stored in the basements below the Roxxon Energy Research Facility of Denver, Colorado (headed by Samuel Higgins, Facility Coordinator), and under Hudson's unconscious direction the facility was undergoing an attack of uncontrollable technological growths. When Windshear can't stop Hudson, Roxxon called in Alpha Flight's Box, Madison Jeffries, to attempt to control the machinery, though Roxxon didn't reveal to either Windshear or Box who/what was causing this. Madison was expelled from the facility by Hudson, but not before determining that there is a man in the machinery, controlling the process.
(Alpha Flight I#88 / Alpha Flight I#90 (fb)) - With the mysterious mechanical force now having access to myriad external connections, Roxxon's U.S. government ties (in the person of Valerie Cooper) mandated the addition of the mutant technological genius Forge to the problem-solving team. When Samuel Higgins covertly ordered Roxxon technicians to unplug Hudson, the facility exploded (Hudson's programming acting to defend itself), and the team identified James MacDonald Hudson (formerly Alpha Flight's Guardian) as the man in the machinery.
(Alpha Flight I#89) - The team of Forge, Windshear, Box, and Diamond Lil restored James MacDonald Hudson to full awareness and sanity, eliminating further danger to Roxxon's now mostly-demolished facility.

Agents of Roxxon took Lipton and a comatose Vision to Roxxon's New York Cybernetics Division Headquarters, where they ordered Lipton to reprogram the Vision to serve them (all in the name of corporate advancement- the person in charge of the operation was hoping to be made "Vice-President of Extra-Legal Activities"). Lipton instead reprogrammed the Vision with the engrams of his deceased son Alex, and the Vision defeated the kidnappers, in the process accomplishing Dr. Lipton's goal of bringing his son's killers to justice. The killer was not named here, though his two "thugs" were identified as Moyer and Blair.

(Amazing Spider-Man Annual#25) - At a demonstration on the Empire State University football field, Roxxon Executive V.P. Jonas Hale displayed NuForm, Roxxon's newly developed synthetic vibranium. However, the synthetic vibranium had serious flaws, flaws which Hale chose to keep secret while marketing NuForm, trusting in Roxxon to later develop a permanent "fix." Unaware of these flaws, the Kingpin hired the Ghost to steal the secret of NuForm, but the Ghost was opposed by Spider-Man and the Black Panther. Roxxon executive Arthur Dearborn interposed himself into the fight to save the Black Panther, and was restored to his Sunturion form, though mentally unstable.
(Spectacular Spider-Man Annual#11) - Iron Man joined the battle against Sunturion, and the Ghost fled. Dearborn quickly regained his self-control, and began investigating NuForm. Hale continued publicizing Nufrom, but ordered all data and computers removed from ESU and taken to a more secure facility. That night, the Ghost and Ultron broke into ESU, but drove each other off. Ultron also sent an army of robots to attack Roxxon's Long Island complex, which were opposed by Black Panther and Spider-Man. The attack led Roxxon to evacuate the facility, and the evacuation put Iron Man into conflict with Sunturion.
(Web of Spider-Man Annual#7) - The Black Panther confronted Hale at One Roxxon Plaza, leaving the nervous Hale to call the "Expediency Department" and order the Panther's death. Disguised Roxxon agents attacked the Panther, who escaped unharmed with Spider-Man's help. Meanwhile, Ultron faked a military takeover of Roxxon's ESU lab, but Dearborn quickly saw through the ruse and Iron Man and Sunturion opposed Ultron. Dearborn realized that the stabilization of the NuForm had failed and the four heroes allied to prevent further damage from the NuForm, while Ultron escaped. Iron Man transported the Nufrom to the Earth's core, destroying it, and Hale reassured Arthur Dearborn that it was a "rogue cell of corporate malcontents" who'd withheld the data which created the problem in the first place.

Hammer claimed to be representing Roxxon and other "legitimate" illegitimate enterprises. After internal struggles turned violent (and apparently before "heroes" Daredevil, Nomad, Terror, and the Punisher intervened, Hammer departed untouched. Whether Hammer was truly representing his business rival Roxxon or this was a lie on his part is unclear.
(NFL SuperPro#12) - Roxxon's deal with BLE was interrupted when Repulsor (Claudio Juarez), a Brazilian environmentalist vigilante, caused severe damage to the BLE's headquarters and hospitalized Matias. Repulsor then traveled to New York, where he interrupted a Triple-A baseball game between the Rye Metros and the Sarasota Panthers in Rye Stadium to attack several middle eastern businessmen who were in negotiations with Roxxon to sell oil rights, and who had also been involved with BLE.

From a secret laboratory located under the Bronx Zoo, Phillip developed an unreliable cell/meld process of genetic splicing, whereby animal characteristics could be grafted onto humans. When their third brother, Mitchell, contracted cancer, Phillip spliced rat, bear, coyote, and wolf DNA into Mitchell, curing the cancer but leaving him more animal than man, and Phillip was forced to control him through electrical implants. Phillip told Brandon that Mitchell had died, and the pair then decided to secretly sell the "Designer Genes" process to the highest bidder. Mitchell soon escaped and rampaged, drawing the attention of Spider-Man, Sabretooth, and the Punisher to the zoo. Moving the lab to One Roxxon Plaza, Phillip continued his work there before Sabretooth ultimately found and killed him. The still mutated Mitchell was placed in the care of an unidentified cancer research facility, and Brandon was indicted for his crimes.
(Night Thrasher I#10) - In the African nation of Nadua, Roxxon made a deal with the Keeyana tribespeople to prevent finishing the construction of a Stark Enterprises-financed dam - the dam would flood a valley containing concealed petroleum reserves.

However, Roxxon board members controlling the project were actually having the scientist in charge, Dr. Gerald Roth, increase the melt rate, with the intent of flooding the Savage Land so as to remove restrictions which prevented oil drilling.
(Sensational Spider-Man I#14) - Spider-Man (in the Savage Land as part of press coverage), Ka-Zar, and Shanna discovered that Roxxon was using one of its Star Well satellites to increase the melt rate rather than decrease it, and that the "refrigeration facilities" would function as oil rigs once the Savage Land is submerged. Roth ordered the termination of Ka-Zar.
(Sensational Spider-Man I#15) - Spider-Man, Ka-Zar, Shanna, Stegron, and the Hulk exposed Roth's efforts, and S.H.I.E.L.D. Commander Chris Townsend arrested him.

The "two other individuals" were killed by a drugged Flag-Smasher, the drugging initiated by Roxxon's Dr. Bob at the direct orders of Roxxon President Mr. Calvin Halderman. Flag-Smasher was sent to kill Bradley, but Captain Ameria intervened and saved him. Dan Davis and Sid Franken, two Daily Bugle reporters, investigate. Bradley, fearing for his life, claimed that they were conducting industrial espionage, looking at paperwork on oil rights, and that the killing was an accident. When the Bugle reported this, Roxxon sued the Bugle for libel. Bradley, meanwhile, was killed by a crooked guard, and the killing set up to look like a jail brawl between two prisoners. Halderman sent Flag-Smasher after Franken and Davis, but Captain America again intervened and captured Flag-Smasher. Using Flag-Smasher, the pair exposed Halderman's connection in the Daily Bugle.

(Magneto: Dark Seduction#2) - Roxxon was revealed to have given unspecified assistance to Magneto's mutant government in establishing control of the island nation of Genosha.
(Magneto: Dark Seduction#4) - Magneto found Roxxon technology which "allowed Fabian Cortez to use his mutant powers to accelerate Acolyte mercenaries," and discovered the Roxxon origin of the advanced weaponry used by Genoshan rebel forces in Carrion Cove.
(The Order#2) - As part of an attempt to take control of the world, the Silver Surfer and the Sub-Mariner appeared at a Roxxon oil field in Alaska and demanded that they permanently cease drilling, threatening to incinerate the facility (and all present) if they didn't stop.
(Thing & She-Hulk: The Long Night#1) - Well beneath the New York sewers, Dr. Jonas Harrow led an investigation into Dragon Man as part of an attempt to create synthezoids for Roxxon. He was assisted by Chief Compton; other technicians included Delvecchio, Gordon, and Chief Wyngard. A vampire tribe located beneath the facility created a coincidental explosion which freed Dragon Man. Roxxon security forces including Grist, Kelly, Lewis, and Schroeder faced the vampires with only Grist escaping, while others armed with a synaptic disruptor pursued Dragon Man until they encountered She-Hulk and the Thing. Compton ordered the evacuation of the facility when faced with its inevitable exposure.
(She-Hulk I#2 (fb)) - Dan Jermain, a safety inspector for Roxxon Oil, was installing safety signs at his plant when a loose container fell on him and knocked him into a vat of hard atomic water. As a result, Jermain was transformed into the superhumanly powerful Danger Man.
(She-Hulk I#2) - Finding his powers to have ruined his life, Danger Man approached the law firm of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg and Holliway, and received the aid of Jennifer Walters in an attempted lawsuit. When Jennifer met with Roxxon's lawyers, they maintained that Jermain hadn't suffered at all, having become larger, stronger and more powerful. When Jennifer told them that the pitcher of water on the table came from the same plant, the lawyers fought each other over it, hoping to become powerful like him, but Jennifer had tricked them. Jennifer ultimately won her case by arguing that Jermain had ceased to exist when he was transformed into Danger Man, and thus sued Roxxon for Jermain's death.
(Cable/Deadpool#7) - Deadpool, operating on behalf of the X-Men, invaded Roxxon International Research in Tokyo, and stole a component of a Chronal Vacuum Filter, a device the X-Men wished to employ against Cable. Deadpool was unsuccessfully opposed by Chinese agent "The Cat" (Shen Kuei), as Roxxon was cooperating with the Chinese government to defend the device.
(G.L.A.#2) - Part-time Roxxon security agent Douglas Taggert (the Grasshopper) was assigned to protect lead researcher Cindy Shelton's New York laboratory. In the employ of Maelstrom, Batroc, Machete and Zaran successfully broke into Roxxon despite the interference of the GLA, stealing unidentified technical components and killing Grasshopper in the process.
(G.L.A.#3) - The equipment stolen by Batroc et al was identified as the Atomic Inverter X-99 prototype.
(Captain America IV#4) - Russian businessman Aleksander Lukin pulled up in front of One Roxxon Plaza with his associate Leon, intending to use the few drops of power remaining in a broken Cosmic Cube to assume control of the Roxxon Energy Corporation.
(Captain America IV#9) - Lukin's Kronas Corporation was revealed to have bought out Roxxon, making it a Kronas subsidiary. The American government was working with Lukin and Roxxon to develop an underwater pipeline from Madripoor.
(Captain America IV#12) - Lukin used his now-repowered Cube to absorb nine more corporate subsidiaries into Kronas.
(GLX-Mas Special#1) - Former Roxxon Corporation security guard Neil became the new Grasshopper. He wore the suit for the first time on Christmas eve and successfully stopped Killer Shrike from stealing Project Z.

(Captain America IV#18) - At Roxxon's private airfield at Dallas, Texas, Crossbones and Sin killed Roxxon V.P. Mr. Clarkson and his assistant Kristy before stealing their plane. Roxxon was also noted as being the largest oil supplier in the western hemisphere.
(Wolverine IV#46) - Damage Control, under CEO Walter Declun, purchased Roxxon's Long Island offices for 5.3 million dollars for the site of a new corporate headquarters.
(Civil War: Fallen Son Daily Bugle Special #1) - Following the assassination of Captain America, Roxxon closed for a day of mourning, as did several other corporations. Company spkesman Patrick Nestor was reported in the Daily Bugle as saying "We at Roxxon feel a sense of obligation to our employees during this particularly difficult time. America has come to a halt to contemplate its loss."
(Thunderbolts II#113) - By phone, Jillian Woods (Shadowoman, Sepulchre) was contacted by Sikorski of Roxxon Blackridge (Roxxon's private security division). He wanted her to work as security for them at some middle-eastern holdings, and arranged to meet her in Phoenix on the following day.
(Thunderbolts II#115) - Following her inadvertent involvement in a battle between the Thunderbolts and the American Eagle and Steel Spider, Sepulchre crashed through the window into the legal office where Sikorski and as associate waited. She accepted their job offer, asking to leave the country as soon as possible.
(Marvel Comics Presents II#5/2) - Operating in the Savage Land from Roxxon's airborne headquarters two-delta, President Kaminski oversaw an attempt to harvest the Savage Land's Vibranium. After a team led by Killer Shrike was killed by Ka-Zar and Zabu, Kaminski ordered a retributional strike by Killer Shrike, Saboteur, Manticore, and a team of SHIELD Mandroids, but the strike was stopped by Ka-Zar, Shanna, and Moon Boy and Devil Dinosaur.
(Marvel Comics Presents II#6/2) - From the airborne headquarters, Kaminski and his ally Parnival Plunder ordered Killer Shrike, Saboteur, the Mandroids, and several ground forces to attack the Savage Land's defenders: Ka-Zar, Shanna, and Zabu, Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy, Tonga and some of the Fall People, and Stegron and four of the Savage Land Mutates (Barbarus, Amphibius, Brainchild, Lorelei). Kaminski remotely piloted a robotic warrior in the fight.
(Marvel Comics Presents II#7/2) - Though the Savage Land's defenders had surrendered, Stegron abruptly raised an army of dead dinosaurs and attacked Roxxon's forces by surprise; Devil Dinosaur was able to bring down the airborne headquarters two-delta. Roxxon's forces were defeated, and Devil Dinosaur apparently ate President Kaminski.
(Tails of the Pet Avengers#1/4) - Roxxon recruited Mad Dog to steal a sample of Terrigen mist from the then moon-based city of Attilan using a wrist-mounted teleport matrix; the objective was to aid Roxxon further their gene-splicing techniques. Lockjaw pursued Mad Dog, teleporting into the Roxxon lab. Mad Dog was thrown against the teleport generator, which exploded, and Lockjaw left with Terrigen cannister.
(War Machine II#8 (fb) - BTS) - Roxxon received one part of Ultimo's CPU from US Agency for Alien Quarantine and Technology assistant director Reginald Gunderson. They stored it at their R&D Facility in Seattle, Washington and reverse engineered the Ultimo tech for diverse purposes.
(Dark Reign: New Nation#1/3) - Anton Aubuisson represented Roxxon in oil discussions with the Anunquit tribe in western Canadian artic. Using cyborg bears created from Ultimo tech and controlled with Sakaarian technology (provided by Eaglestar International), Aubuisson murdered the Anunquit representatives; War Machine (James Rhodes) blew up the pipeline and disrupted the bears control; the bears subsequently killed or maimed Aubuisson.
(Dark Reign Files I#1) - A list of some of the active Roxxon vice presidents included Terence Gerard, Jonas Hale, Brian Sagar, and Myrna Simpkins. The presidency was noted as still vacant.
(Wolverine: Weapon X I#1) - Roxxon coal mining near Columbia's Magdalena River was interrupted by raids conducted by locals. At about the same time, Maverick told Wolverine that Roxxon's Blackguard subsidiary has acquired Weapon X's old techniques for synthesizing Adamantium, and had put it to use. Wolverine raided a Washington state Blackguard facility (located near the Canadian border), finding the facility empty with signs of recent slaughter and Adamantium testing.

(Avengers Assemble Annual#1) -
Comments: Created by Steve Engelhart (writer), Sal Buscema (pencils), Vincent Colletta (inks), Roy Thomas (editing).
Roxxon has a number of "cameo"
appearances, basically throwaways where a character goes by a Roxxon
filling station or somesuch. These certainly aren't worth recording in
the Roxxon history above, but I'll note them here. This is likely a far
from complete list:
(Ghost Rider I#36, June, 1979) - Ghost Rider battles a gang at a Roxxon
service station in Denver, Colorado;
(Thor#303, January, 1981) - Thor flew past a Roxxon Oil Inc.
construction site in Manhattan, knocking over a Roxxon sign on two
fleeing thugs;
(Fantastic Four Annual#17, 1983) - Strzltski's Garage in King's
Crossing, New York, was a Roxxon affiliate;
(Alpha Flight I#89, October, 1990) - Wolverine and Vindicator of Alpha
Flight pass an abandoned Roxxon service station near Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, Canada.
(Marvel Super Heroes II#5/2, April, 1991) - The Thing used a Roxxon
highway map, noting that "Arizona has as many Roxxon stations as it has
sand dunes."
J. Steven York's novel Generation X: Genogoths
(September, 2000)
- Snow Valley, Massachusetts (home of the White Queen's branch of
Xavier's school), has a Roxxon service station staffed by long-term
employee Alvie Walton.
Adam-Troy Castro's novel Spider-Man: Secret of the Sinister
Six (March, 2002) name drops Roxxon in a list of the world's
major corporations on page 103.
The Roxxon corporation controlled a number of lesser corporations or organizations, most notably Brand (at least the original one), Cybertek, and the Nth Command. This entry focuses solely on those actions directly related to Roxxon itself- for information of activities by Roxxon subsidiaries, please see entries for those specific organizations. While those arguably could have been included here, it seemed to make more sense to separate them out to maintain a coherent flow. This page is large enough already...
Thunderbolts #113 introduced Roxxon Blackridge as the "private security" branch of the firm (possibly only for middle-eastern issues, possibly worldwide). In Wolverine: Weapon X I#1 the organization is refered to as Blackguard. The names almost certainly come from Blackwater, a firm then controversially deploying mercenary forces in Iraq.
The quote in the Roxxon's "Purpose" (above) is from Marvel Two-in-One#58, p31, pan8.
One company slogan, first used on a button that Hale slapped on Tony Stark in Iron Man I#145, later on a newscast in Amazing Spider-Man I#236, and then again seen on an ashtray in Spider-Man Unlimited I#16: "Roxxon: Your Energy Friend."
G.L.A.#3 identifies the corporate website as www.roxxon.com
In Amazing Spider-Man Annual#16 (1982), Captain Marvel (Rambeau) gains her powers at a Roxxon Oil Tower leased to a South American dictator who was studying extradimensional energy sources. While no evidence has been given that Roxxon was involved in this research, it seems unlikely that they wouldn't have been in some way...
The Roxxon Monolith is wrongly mentioned as being found in Los Angeles in Iron Man I#244 (July, 1989). Its correct location, as seen in Iron Man Annual 9 (1989), is in San Francisco. Roxxon's LA HQ (the Roxxon Enclave) is seen in Iron Man I#220 (July, 1987).
In X-Factor I#71, Roxxon's never-before-seen Washington D.C. skyscraper (the Roxxon Tower) was depicted as identical to One Roxxon Plaza. Either they have virtually identical buildings in both cities, or there was an artist's mix-up...
I included Cypress in the list of Roxxon employees, but we really have no evidence that he was actually a Roxxon employee. Mischa and Yuri's story of Roxxon's developing biological weapons and then destroying their own labs to get access to them really doesn't make a whole lot of sense: there has to be a smarter way to access their employees' work than killing them and blowing up their labs!
Apparently the mysterious "patron" from Iron Man I#290-292 has never been revealed; similarly, the Roxxon executive in Iron Man I#281-283 and #290-292 has never been named, though his face is seen clearly in #282. The quartet of allies left at the end of that appears to have disbanded, as they never were shown again.
Colonel Harrison's conspiracy theories about Control and General Slinkard selling technology to Roxxon have yet to be proven one way or another. There is some argument that the "Conspiracy" series took place out of Marvel continuity. I prefer to believe that the story itself took place in continuity, but that there is no clear evidence either way as to whether or not Control ever actually existed or was a figment of Harrison's imagination. Effectively, everything which actively happened in the story happened in the Marvel Universe, but everything which was merely one character telling another character something may or may not be true- we don't know if the character was truthful or lying and/or insane. Its one of those Marvel mysteries- whether you believe in Control or not is best left up to the reader.
Roxxon's Colorado lab is consistently mentioned as being in Denver or just outside Denver, save in Thunderbolts I#35, where Justin Hammer mentions it as being in Boulder. Given the weight of appearances saying Denver, we assume that Hammer made a mistake.
George Olshevsky speculated in the Official Marvel Index to the Fantastic Four#5 that "The Red Star Oil Company, thought to be a Communist front organization in this story (Fantastic Four I#80, November 1968), may actually be a subsidiary of Roxxon Oil or Roxxon Oil itself operating under an earlier name." So far as I can tell, the only basis for this supposition is that both are oil companies, and so until this is confirmed in continuity, we'll leave it here as a "maybe" in the comments.
Marvel: Year in Review 1989 includes an obviously fake Roxxon public relations magazine advertisement attempting to reduce concern over an Alaskan oil spill by the tanker Velasquez (obviously a take off on the March 23, 1989 Exxon Valdez accident). It goes so far as to show a beautiful Alaskan scene polluted with oil and a dead sea otter floating there - obviously not an actual advertisement that a sane executive or agency would publish! This was later reprinted in Two Gun Kid: Sunset Riders#2 as an introduction to "part four" of the story. Thanks to John McDonagh for pointing out this missed Roxxon appearance and its source.
Marvel: 1990 the Year in Review features an advertisement for "Roxxee-10," an acne cream being promoted by the New Warriors, and produced by Roxxon. An Eric Fein article on page 25 of this issue also noted that Roxxon Oil financed the building of a dam in the country of Estrella (see Deathlok I#1-3 for this story, thanks to John McDonagh for pointing this out). The All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe#9 placed the Roxxee-10 ad in continuity.
The All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe#9 (September, 2006) provided first names for several executives who had previously not had them revealed: Huck Petrie, Henry Mason, Mike Tappan.
In Spider-Man Team-Up Special (May, 2005), barrels of Roxxon's toxic waste are dumped on Monster Island, leading the Mole Man to invade the United Nations and demand that Roxxon clean it up. At the U.N., Eric Close, Senior Vice President of Pulic Relations for Roxxon Oil, attempts to get an endorsement from the Fantastic Four for Roxxon, and ultimately the FF "agrees" on live TV to co-sponsor a Roxxon project: Roxxon will set up a wildlife refuge for the Mole Man's monsters, pay for the damages to the U.N., and donate fourteen million dollars towards environmental clean-up. Marvel Adventures books are not generally considered to be in continuity, so I haven't included this above. If it is subsequently referenced in Marvel proper, it will be moved up into Roxxon's chronology and Eric Close will be added to the list of Roxxon employees.
JLX#1 (April, 1996) presents an Earth-Amalgam version of Roxxon. Still an energy company there under the same name, it had freighters torched by Will Magnus to frame the Aqua-Mariner.
Roxxon exists in Marvel's future "2099" universe, as Roxxon is included in a short list of the major corporations of that world in Spider-Man 2099 #1 (pg 20).
Roxxon exists in Marvel's Ultimate universe as well, first appearing there in Ultimate Spider-Man#72.
Roxxon apparently also appears in a background role in the Activision Spider-Man game (2001).
In the novel Mayhem in Manhattan (1978) by Len Wein & Marv Wolfman (pg. 61-62, 143-145, 159-161), aged Roxxon Chairman of the Board Madison Bell was one of eight oil executives at a meeting wherein a hidden voice attempted to extort from them all (having previously murdered an associate of one of the other executives). Later, with Dr. Octopus revealed as the extortionist and the executives all meeting on an oil platform, the wheelchair-bound Bell angrily refused Octopus; having spent a lifetime building Roxxon he was unwilling to knuckle under to Octopus. Dr. Octopus then detonated a sizable Roxxon operation in Oklahoma, but Spider-Man interrupted before Octopus could proceed further. During the fight Bell vanished; Dr. Octopus briefly masqueraded as him shortly thereafter and the oil platform they were on subsequently exploded, so presumably Bell was killed, either murdered by Dr. Octopus or blown up in the explosion.
In the novel Fantastic Four: Countdown to Chaos (1998) by Pierce Askegren, Roxxon plays a small role (pp. 5-8, 80-82, 263). Michael Brady, an executive with the Roxxon Chemical division, was replaced by a duplicate under control of the Thinker. He caused a chemical explosion in Madripoor which killed 15% of that island's population, and when fellow executive Reuben Kincaid intended to reveal Roxxon's complicity, Brady murdered Kincaid and made it look like a suicide, placing all the blame for the incident on Kincaid. Seven years later, at a Roxxon Oil Media Center in Texas, Brady announced Roxxon's takeover of Acme Atomics. Very shortly thereafter, the Fantastic Four freed Brady and returned him to his old life, quietly removing the duplicate; Roxxon was not made aware of the substitution. Somewhere prior to that, Roxxon had also taken over a company known as Encyclographics before looting its assets and closing it down. As there is no evidence that these events take place in the 616 universe, this has not been included in the history above. If it is subsequently referenced in Marvel proper, it will be moved up into Roxxon's chronology and Michael Brady and Reuben Kincaid will be added to the list of Roxxon employees.
In the juvenile novel Iron Man: Steel Terror (1996) by Dean Wesley Smith, Roxxon's Long Island Research Complex had continued work on (and apparently perfected) NuForm, dropping the name and simply referring to it as "synthetic Vibranium." In the employ of Ultron, Tess-One assaulted the facility on Christmas Eve (while it was sparsely staffed), killing at least one guard before making off with the synthetic Vibranium. The guard's surviving partner, Steve, notified his superiors, the police, and the Avengers. When the called-in executives refused to tell the Avengers (Vision, Iron Man, Crystal, Quicksilver, Black Widow, Hercules, Pym) what had been stolen, Hercules threw him into the air to coerce cooperation; Iron Man saved the executive, who then told the Avengers everything. Ultron was later discovered to be operating out of an abandoned Brand research facility in Antarctica (presumably this would be the Brand which had been a Roxxon subsidiary); the base would subsequently be seriously damaged when the Avengers defeated Ultron and Tess-One there. During the course of the evening, Iron Man and the Vision ended up defending a Brand nuclear research facility, located just outside New York City, from an assault by Tess-One, trying to steal fissionable materials. To protect those materials, Iron Man had the scientists manually hide small portions around the Brand facility, at great risk to their own health. Presumably this New York area Brand base would be associated with the second Brand Corporation, the one which presumably has no affiliation with Roxxon. This novel has not been included in the history above as many novels do not take place in the 616 universe. If it is subsequently referenced in Marvel proper, it will be moved up into Roxxon's chronology and Steve will be added to the list of Roxxon employees.Thanks to John McDonagh for pointing out this omission.
In the novel Iron Man: Operation A.I.M. (1996) by Greg Cox (pg. 128-129), an adaptoid posing as Deathlok (Collins) misleads War Machine at Mt. Wundagore by falsely claiming that he was following up on a Roxxon-AIM connection.
In the novel Spider-Man: Venom's Wrath (1998) by Keith R.A. DeCandido and Jose R Nieto (pgs. 113 & 314), Daily Bugle reporter Vreni Byrne publishes an article about a Roxxon/Acme merger.
In the novel X-Men and Spider-Man: Time's Arrow Book Two, The Present (August, 1998) by Tom DeFalco and Adam-Troy Castro (pg. 12), a dimension-traveling Spider-Man is in Central Park and notes that the Roxxon Corporate Headquarters is, in that dimension (Earth-98072), across the street from where it is in his home dimension. It should be noted that in the third book in that trilogy (Book Three, The Future), Earth-98072 is destroyed through Kang's machinations.
In the novel X-Men: Law of the Jungle (March, 1998) by Dave Smeds (pg. 39), Ka-Zar cites Roxxon's efforts to flood the Savage Land (Sensational Spider-Man I#13) and notes that Roxxon's lawyers were able to convince the courts that those were the work of a conveniently deceased former employee, and that Roxxon itself was not responsible.
Thanks to "Vincent180975" for pointing out the missed Jonas Hale appearance in Iron Man I#145, Markus Raymond for adding the GLX-Mas Special and Fantastic Four Unlimited I#11, Jeff Christiansen for pointing out the mention in Avengers Annual 1999, and John McDonagh for pointing out the mention in MTU Annual#2.
Complete aside- Jonas Hale seems to be named after, of all people, the Skipper from Gilligan's Island. The Skipper's name was Jonas Grumby, and he was played by Alan Hale, Jr. Given the name Jonas Hale, coupled with the fact the he was presenting himself as a Captain in his first appearance, it seems apparent. Why someone did this, I have no clue. I find myself wondering if Pierce Askegren was intentionally playing off this when he chose to name his two Roxxon characters Reuben Kincaid and Michael Brady, or if it was mere coincidence.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Roxxon has no known connections to
August D'Angelo, Chairman of the Board
D'Angelo personally hired Jerry Jaxon
to work for Roxxon during his doomed attempt to gain revenge on Alpha
Flight's Guardian. When James Melvin of Brand's activities in
developing super-humans were exposed, D'Angelo worked with President
Gamelin to oversee the damage control and ordered the public closure of
all Brand plants.
D'Angelo kept a picture of Juliette
D'Angelo (Julie Angel) on his desk, presumably she is a close
relative.
--Alpha Flight I#12 (Alpha Flight I#12, Amazing Spider-Man I#235-236
John T. Gamelin, former President
John T. Gamelin was one of the top four Republic Oil and Natural Gas executives, head of their foreign operations division. He remained with the company as vice president of foreign operations as it became Roxxon Oil.
Gamelin became
President of Roxxon after Hugh Jones was institutionalized. He oversaw
Roxxon's effort to discredit Wakanda by employing Hellrazor to
masquerade as the Black Panther and kidnap businessman Thomas Agar.
When James Melvin of Brand's activities in developing super-humans were
exposed, Gamelin oversaw the damage control and ordered the public
closure of all Brand plants at Chairman of the Board D'Angelo's
request.
Gamelin was eventually kidnapped by agents of the Deltite and replaced
by an LMD. When the Deltite recalled its LMDs, Gamelin was assumed dead
and Roxxon's next President was Calvin Halderman.
Note: A Roxxon executive named Jack Gamelin has appeared (in Namor #50) since John T Gamelin's apparent death. It is unknown if the two are related (based on pictured ages, Jack could easily be John's son), but ages, names, and timing makes it clear that the two are not the same individual.
--Marvel Team-Up I#87 (Marvel Team-Up I#87, Iron Man: The Iron Age 1-2, Amazing Spider-Man I#235-236, All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe#9
Calvin Halderman, former President
After
years of service, Calvin Halderman became Roxxon President following
John T. Gamelin's disappearance, and as President he personally oversaw
a number of covert operations. It was his activity in controlling
Flag-Smasher via experimental chemicals and using him to break in to
the United Nations to get information on oil rights in Trebekistan that
ultimately led to his exposure in the Daily Bugle (thanks to a series
of articles by reporters Sid Franken and Dan Davis). Halderman resigned
in the face of a flurry of bad publicity and legal indictments, and was
immediately replaced as President by Don Kaminski.
Halderman has a wife and children.
--Captain America Annual 1999
Jonas Hale, Executive V.P., Head of Research
Jonas
"Jonah" Hale was one of the top four Republic Oil and Natural Gas
executives, apparently head of their research division. He remained
with the company in a similar position as it became Roxxon Oil.
"Captain" Hale was in charge of the attempt to mine Vibranium from an
Atlantic Ocean island. He masqueraded as a U.S. military Captain during
the attempt, but when Iron Man and the Sub-Mariner intervened, he
destroyed the island with explosives and escaped. A "Lieutenant"
Grange, and someone known as Morgan were the only identified underlings
of Hale's during this operation.
Hale ordered Michael Trudeau to disrupt Stark International's
investigation of the Star Well I Allentown disaster. When Iron Man
found Star Well I anyway, Hale ordered its destruction, but Iron Man
disabled the destruct device.
Hale twice encountered Tony Stark at a Dallas, Texas engineering
convention, first pulling CTE's Augustine Cross away from Stark (and
slapping a Roxxon: Your Energy Friend" button on Tony while doing so),
and then the following night telling Stark that he wasn't at all sorry
to hear that Iron Man had recently been embarassed (in a fight with the
Raiders).
Hale led the development of a new Sunturion project, which both
resurrected Sunturion and led to the creation of a new Sunturion,
code-named Stratosfire. After Hale ordered the death of one of
Stratosfire's friends, she became unbalanced, and Hale was ultimately
forced to destroy her using a remote control "Zed device."
When Tony Stark was crippled in a shooting, Hale attempted to take
advantage of this by hiring the Fixer to destroy a Sonic Scanner that
Stark had developed for locating oil deposits. The Fixer destroyed
two-thirds of the project but failed to destroy the last third.
Hale headed up Roxxon's development of NuForm, an artifical vibranium.
Though fully aware that no permanent solution existed to the product's
destabilization, Hale chose to pursue marketing of it, trusting Roxxon
to develop a final solution in the future.
Hale contributed Roxxon money and technology to the Sphinx's project to
attempt to duplicate/steal the powers of young super-humans. Though the
Sphinx was ultimately defeated by Spider-Man and the New Warriors,
Roxxon presumably gathered very valuable genetic enhancement
technology/knowledge during the process.

Samuel Higgins, Facility Director, Denver
Facility
Director at Roxxon's Denver, Colorado Energy Research Facility, Higgins
was in charge when James MacDonald Hudson's comatose body, interlaced
with alien technology, was brought to his facility. For two years
Higgins supervised study of Hudson while simultaneously arguing that
the body was dangerous and need to be destroyed. When Hudson began to
awaken, Higgins arranged for Roxxon's Windshear, Alpha Flight's Box and
Diamond Lil, and the X-Men's Forge to try to shut down Hudson, and
inadvertently caused the destruction of the facility himself when he
attempted to have all power to Hudson killed.
Higgins "made his was back up the corporate ladder," and remained
Facility Coordinator in Denver, overseeing ongoing work with
Windshear's "hard air" and, in cooperation with the U.S. Government's
Commission on Superhuman Activities, the creation of Omega-32, a system
by which hard air molecules could be used to remotely kill people.
Following Roxxon's contract with the government, Higgins oversaw
continued secret work on Roxxon's own Omega-32, but this was ultimately
stolen by the Beetle. Following this theft, the U.S. Government, in the
person of Henry Gyrich, ordered Higgins to fully erase all Roxxon-held
information on Omega-32. Whether Higgins erased all
information or not, enough was erased that Gyrich believed that they
had.
--Alpha Flight I#87 (Alpha Flight I#87-90, Thunderbolts I#34, 39
Don Kaminski, former President
Don Kaminski became President of Roxxon in the wake of the scandals that led to the resignation of Calvin Halderman. He was President while Kronas Corporation bought Roxxon. He later led an effort to harvest the Savage Land's Vibranium, where he was opposed by Ka-Zar and others; apparently Devil Dinosaur ate Kaminski after Roxxon's forces were defeated
--Captain America Annual 1999 (Marvel Comics Presents II#5/2-7/2
Simon Krieger, former Vice President, Republic Oil & Natural Gas
Working with Hugh Jones, J.T. Gamelin, and Jonas Hale, Krieger was in charge of "dirty tricks" at Republic. He hired the Saboteur and masqueraded as Tony Stark to lead the Dogs of War. Following his arrest, Hugh Jones had him killed in prison.
--Iron Man: The Iron Age#1 (Iron Man: The Iron Age#1-2
Carrington Pax, Executive, West Coast division
After having his immediate subordinate, Mike Tappan, hire the Ghost to destroy Accutech so that Roxxon could acquire its technology, Pax fired the Ghost with full pay after Iron Man became involved. When the Ghost attempted to finish the job anyway, Pax hired Spymaster to kill the Ghost. The Ghost would ultimately kill Spymaster instead, and Roxxon's attempt to acquire Accutech's technology failed.
--Iron Man I#220
NuForm
NuForm is an unstable
from of
synthetic vibranium. If
not treated properly, it decays into Antarctic vibranium, a substance
which causes metals to melt. It needs to be treated with special
microwaves, but they only delay the metamorphosis, not halt it, though
Roxxon had hopes for finding a permanent solution.
NuForm was developed on the campus of Empire State University as part
of a Roxxon-sponsored grant. It was publicly announced as a successful
Roxxon product by Executive V.P. Jonas Hale, prompting attempts by the
Kingpin, the Ghost, and Ultron to steal it. However, microwave work at
a nearby (and unrelated) lab caused the material to destabilize early,
eventually causing the collapse of an ESU building. Working with the
Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Roxxon's Sunturion, Iron Man destroyed
all of Roxxon's ESU NuForm by transporting it to the Earth's core.
However, Roxxon still retained the ability to manufacture more, should
they choose to do so.
While the name NuForm was never used there, in the (probably
out-of-continuity) juvenile novel Iron Man: Steel Terror, Roxxon
claimed to have perfected synthetic Vibranium. Tess-One, under Ultron's
control, broke into the Long Island Research Complex, stole the
synthetic Vibranium, and transported it to Antarctica. There, it was
destroyed by the Avengers while they fought Ultron and Tess-One.

Steve Sawicki
Roxxon employee Steve Sawicki attended a speed-dating night and met Verity Willis, who could secretly detect lies. Sawicki initially lied about who he worked for, then lied about the death toll from Roxxon's devastating actions against the town of Broxton. Willis identified each lie he made and she dismissed him away.
