Good day, Defenders of Earth!
After uncovering the secrets of Annabel Corman in our first character spotlight, it is now time for us to introduce Mr. Gene Orson, the powerful CEO of the Orson Corporation (or O-Corp), a massive media & technology empire.
However, the man behind O-Corp came from humble beginnings. When he was much younger, Orson inherited a small newspaper business from his late father. Within decades, he transformed his father’s small business into a cross-platform empire; from toys to military hardware to streaming services and entertainment. With his no-compromise attitude, he’s the epitome of ambition, success and cold, calculated ruthlessness. “Enough” has never been part of his vocabulary.
So, when Gene Orson felt he had reached the pinnacle of every key industry on Earth, he moved on.
To Mars.
Orson massively invested in aerospace, and when his commercial aerospace division led the first manned mission to Mars, they accidentally triggered the First Martian Invasion. Though the mission discovered marsonium, a powerful new energy source that Orson believes will change the world (and create immense profits for O-Corp), an invasion didn’t sit well with shareholders. With Earth (and profits) on the line, Gene Orson has stepped in to help the Global Military Alliance personally, providing them with resources, technology and weapons to help in the fight against the Martians. Gene Orson has little interest in diplomacy, camaraderie, or what he calls “sentimental nonsense.” He doesn’t waste time with jokes or small talk. And if his methods seem ruthless or morally questionable? That’s just the price of victory.
That’s a wrap for today! Don’t miss out on our next installment as we explore more characters from Earth vs Mars.
