Veidt Enterprises was a multinational conglomerate headquartered in New York City founded by Adrian Veidt. The company manufactured a wide variety of products including fashion, perfume, consumer electronics, toys, and entertainment.

History[]

Spark Hydrants[]

Veidt Enterprises manufactured their most notable invention, the spark hydrant, a small outlet that allows electric-powered vehicles like cars and trucks to recharge; they were the equivalent of gas pumps for gasoline-powered cars. This technological advancement was made possible through the synthesizing of lithium through the superpowers of Doctor Manhattan to change molecules into different molecules. These hydrants were seen throughout the world and have a signature lightning bolt within a circle on them.

The Veidt Method[]

The Veidt Method is a famous magazine on the theory of bodily health, including a strict fitness regime to enhance one's physical skills and mental exercises to assist in the creation of a "new you." One of the in-between sips of hardcore literature in the book that pop up at the end of every chapter is a summary of the Veidt Method's components.[1]

The Monster[]

See full article: Alien Monster

Adrian Veidt used his monetary resources and superior intellect to secretly create a giant genetically engineered monster, with dozens of tentacles and one large eye, along with a giant unnatural brain (cloned and enhanced from that of deceased psychic Robert Deschaines) that generated a devastating mental shockwave upon the creature's death that killed three million people in New York City and Hoboken, New Jersey in order to frighten the governments of the world into working together, thereby saving humanity from extinction.[2][3]

Decline[]

Following Doctor Manhattan's departure from Earth and the Dimensional Incursion Event two weeks later, Veidt Enterprises underwent a series of business setbacks. Any patents of technology developed by the company using Manhattan’s energy such as spark hydrants were considered worthless amid concerns that all things Manhattan might be carcinogenic.

Veidt Enterprises continued down a path of failed business ventures in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including the infamous campaign “Millennium by Veidt,” a broad set of marketing and philanthropic endeavors in which Adrian Veidt positioned himself as a guru in the human potential movement, trying to evolve society into a future technology-based utopia led by transcendent supermen. Because Veidt set up this campaign too soon after the catastrophe and financial ruin left behind from the Dimensional Incursion Event, this severely tarnished his reputation and was accused as a canny forecaster of consumer trends. This also resulted in closures of several Veidt subsidiaries including Millennium Polytechnic Academies and the Millennium Scouts of America.

In 1999, Veidt started licensing technology to different fields, most prominently pet cloning, through a subsidiary named Bubastis, named after his genetically altered lynx of the same name.[4]

Bought by Trieu Industries[]

In 2012 the company was bought out by Trieu Industries, the same year that its founder and CEO, Adrian Veidt, was declared missing. By 2017, Trieu had officially acquired the estate of Veidt Enterprises.[4][5]
