"I say good business, is where you find it." ―Dick Jones[src]

Omni Consumer Products (OCP) was an American mega-corporation based in Detroit that created products for virtually every consumer need among its citizens, and had entered into endeavors normally deemed non-profit, and even had plans to manufacture an entire city to be maintained exclusively by the corporation.

Taking Detroit Private [ edit | edit source ]

OCP was a mega-corporation with divisions affecting nearly every level of consumer need, society, and government. Their products ranged from consumer products to military weaponry and private space travel. In the past, OCP had gambled in markets that were traditionally regarded as non-profit, such as hospitals, prisons, and space exploration.

OCP sought to fully privatize Detroit, Michigan into Delta City, a manufactured municipality governed by a corporatocracy, with fully privatized services — such as police — and with residents exercising their representative citizenship through the purchase of shares of OCP stock. They also served as part of the military-industrial complex; according to OCP executive Dick Jones, "We practically are the military."

As a compensation (and as a way to privatize it), OCP intended to give something back to the city and shared a contract to run local law enforcement. Their projects included ED-209, RoboCop and RoboCop 2. OCP owned and operated a privatized Detroit Police Department and was known to work secretly with criminals to achieve their goals. (Essentially, Omni Consumer's Security Concepts branch was thus providing the solution to a problem that it, itself, had actually caused in the first place.)

However, the city owed the corporation $37 million; as a result, OCP cut the salary of the police officers to 40% of what the city had previously paid them. As the Old Man explained to Mayor Marvin Kuzak, the debt was in OCP's favor: "In the event of default OCP shall have the uncontested right of foreclosure on all city assets."

At its peak, OCP's influence spread further than the confines of Detroit, given their military-grade technology, shareholders not based in Detroit, and their ownership of a mercenary division that worked alongside the US military during the Amazon War.

Kanemitsu takeover [ edit | edit source ]

OCP was eventually bought by a Japanese zaibutsu, the Kanemitsu Corporation. As a Kanemitsu subsidiary, OCP remained in charge of the destruction of old Detroit and the construction of Delta City. Soon, OCP's brutal policies concerning Delta City were brought to light and many of OCP's majority shareholders sold their stock, and OCP itself was financially ruined; Kanemitsu himself (through an interpreter) personally fired its CEO from the company.
