* ''Webcomic/DriveDaveKellett'': Industriaglobo produces most of TheEmpire's starships. However, the Empire has declared a strict patent on the FTL systems - to the point that the only engineers allowed to work on FTL drives are direct descendants of the first Emperor. Naturally, most of the upper staff are members of the royal family. The prologue reveals that Emperor Cruz I was originally a senior engineer at Industriaglobo - until he was fired alongside ''seven billion other employees''. Then he got extremely lucky and happened upon an alien ship that had FTL - he seized control of the company that had fired him and eventually became emperor of humanity.

* ''WesternAnimation/SummerMemories'': Soda With A Marble, the producers of Jason and Ronnie's favorite soft drink, is a recurring backdrop of the show's setting, even getting its own focus episode. What we see of it shows it to be classic Mega Corp material - incredibly pervasive, constantly pushing products on the populace, and owning an absurd amount of businesses that sell products completely unrelated to its main line of products. [[spoiler:In the show's DistantFinale, they've taken over the entire town.]]

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'': The Benerit Group is a corporate group consisting of everything from relatively minor corporations like the Shin Sei Development Corporation and Ochs Earth, to massive groups like Jeturk Heavy Machinery or Grassley Defense Systems. The group appears to act as de facto government of the solar system (no other government is seen at least), and its president, Delling Rembran, doesn't deny the accusation that he acts as a king. It also runs the Asticassia School of Technology, where students are divided into houses based either on what planet they're from, or what corporation sponsors them. To give an idea of how wealthy the Benerit group is, Peil Technologies, one of its top three earners, is perfectly fine with taking a 120 ''billion'' credits loss as part of a gambit to take out its rival, and Delling Rembran himself can spend over 7 billion credits on what amounted to allowance.

* ''Fanfic/TarkinsFist'': The Earth's surviving richest multi-national corporations coalesce into about a half dozen megacorporations and gain official representation in the government of the Confederacy of Earth Nations. These corporations are explicitly said to have been inspired by the megacorporations that opposed the Empire during the Clone Wars, and are even inspired to adopt similar names, to the point that the Earth develops its own Trade Federation. Those corporations that oppose the government, such as the American big three automotive companies, are nationalized and their board members are imprisoned. Those surviving independent corporations that do not sign on with the megacorporations, but are otherwise loyal, are driven out of business by the megacorporations and their government allies.
