Venture Industries (not to be confused with Venture Techno Industries) is a privately owned company of the Venture family. Once world renowned for its innovations in technology and science, Venture Industries fell grace since Jonas Venture Sr.' passing. The Venture Compound was its headquarters, before moving to New York City.

History[]

Venture Industries was founded at an unknown time by Jonas Venture Sr who grew it into the one of the world's largest and most prominent companies that was at the forefront of super-science. It had three divisions: a consumer products division that focused on everyday products for the home such as the H.E.L.P.eR. robot, Learning Beds, and manufactured airplanes, boats, and cars; a defense contracting division that built machines and weapons for the military, and a media production division that created and ran The Rusty Venture Show, comics, toys, and the overall public image of Team Venture.

After the death of his father, Thaddeus Venture, then a college student, was put in charge of the company. Due to Rusty's ineptitude, the company went into a gradual decline as there were few new inventions and products of value. Assets, such as the New York headquarters, and it's consumer products and media divisions, were sold for cash, and all of the employees were eventually let go, leaving only Rusty, H.E.L.P.eR, Hector Molina and Swifty as it's only sole employees.

Rusty kept the company barely afloat and running by continuing to sell off the old assets, technology, and inventions from his father's era, as well as still fulfilling defense contracts for the government by selling them weapons such as The Oo-Ray and the Venturestein's. Venture Industries would later be revived somewhat under the management of Jonas Venture, Jr., who repaired some of the damage that Thaddeus had inflicted through incompetence upon their company. Much like Jonas Venture Sr., Jonas Jr. completed many of the company's government contracts before leaving to found his own successful company, Venture Techno Industries. General Manhowers, The Venture's main military contact, announced to Rusty that the US Government would be working with J.J. instead of Rusty, tiring of seeing and using the same old equipment from his father's days, on top of Rusty's faulty and problematic inventions like the Venturestein's.

Venture Industries appears to have been abandoned (and possibly rendered defunct), after The Monarch burned down the Venture Compound. Rusty had inherited Venture Techno Industries after JJ.'s death, and the Venture family moved to VenTech Tower.

Products[]

Inventions and products that appear to originate at Venture Industries are:

  • The orbital space station Gargantua-1.
  • The supersonic airplane X-1, the yacht-like X-2, and the submarine X-3. The X-2 is now owned by Augustus St. Cloud.
  • Hover Bikes and Hover shoes.
  • Communicator Watches.
  • "The Uniwax".
  • Ventech Missile Defense System that was controlled by M.U.T.H.E.R. Strangely enough it seems that Jonas Sr. also used the term Ventech with his company Venture Industries, even though decades later Jonas Jr. named his own company VenTech (Short for Venture Techno Industries).
  • A machine that can make someone invisible.
  • Learning Beds. Subliminal audio-learning aides one uses while asleep, used for both Thaddeus Venture and his sons (as well as "Venturestein," a re-animated corpse of a new Monarch henchman, who had been killed by Brock in a Venture Compound raid). They can also record brainwaves and memories.
  • A wearable womb device.
  • Cloning (so far not public - when asked about it, Dr. Venture has to publicly deny its existence, both to hide the fact that his sons are clones - they traumatize very easily, and to keep himself out of trouble from Congress, as they have banned all cloning research in North America; used only to replace Hank and Dean when they died).
  • The PROBLEM. Designed to prolong the life of a individual.
  • Various ray guns, such as the melt-anything 'Oo-Ray' and a death ray of sorts.
  • The Boom-Broom. A faulty vacuum cleaner that leaked radiation.
  • A Drill Vehicle. Later put in the museum on Spider-Skull Island.
  • The robotic nanny H.E.L.P.eR.
  • The robotic bodyguard G.U.A.R.D.O.
  • H.E.L.P.eR. Model Two. A H.E.L.P.eR. for civilian use.
  • A Avrocar. Later put in the museum on Spider-Skull Island.
  • Venturion. A cyborg built from The Blue Morpho.
  • A supposedly functioning Shrink ray, purchased by Master Billy Quizboy. Later unintentionally broken by Pete White when he disassembled it "looking for a treasure map". It has since been repaired and used successfully on several occasions.
  • Venture Rex, cigarettes.
  • The Joy Can. A machine capable of reproducing the innermost fantasies of anyone who enters. Powered by the heart of an abducted orphan, much to the disgust of Dr. Orpheus, who disposed of the machine shortly after learning this.
  • A replica of a lightsaber, purchased by one of The Monarch's minions, Henchman 21, at a yard sale. Although it looks very realistic, the "weapon" does not inflict any damage.
  • A sound that kills (built by Jonas Jr.).
  • A teleporter (malfunctioning and unfinished, built by Jonas Jr.).
  • The TVC-15, a flying saucer style craft that crashed during testing.
  • The Metasonic Locater, a tracking device capable of locating said flying saucer; also has the ability to awaken the dead.
  • A Ray Shield for the space station Gargantua-2.
  • A large Walking Eye, that actually did nothing but was advanced enough to cause supervillains to want to attack it.
  • Zero gravity pen, it writes in space.
  • Sneakys, spy shoes. The soles flip around so the Russians can't follow your footprints.
  • A force-field that actually seemed to keep all matter and sound from escaping, but can be washed away with club soda.
  • A silver two-door car, bearing the Venture Industries logo and a running board decal that reads, "Venture Motors". The vehicle itself resembles a late-model Saab 96, as Saab was once revered for its innovations in automotive technology. Thaddeus and Myra Brandish had sex in it once and it is still used by Thaddeus and the Venture brothers themselves.
