Galaxy Communications is a fictional American multinational media corporation in the DC Comics universe. It is owned and run by businessman and crime lord Morgan Edge. ==Fictional history== Galaxy Communications is one of the world's leading telecommunications companies and an major economic engine of both Metropolis and the United States. It has a broadband division that supplies Americans with digital television, internet and phone services, and also produces several periodicals and books through its subsidiary Galaxy Publishing. Originally spearheaded by Morgan Edge, an article by Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent revealed that Edge was also in command of Intergang, one of Metropolis's most notorious criminal organizations. This eventually led to Morgan's father Vincent Edge taking over Galaxy Communication. However, he too was ousted from the corporation, as it was exposed that he continuously made Cat Grant the victim of repeated sexual harassment. Galaxy Communications shares a loose alliance with The Daily Planet, as they are two of the leading centers for truth and accuracy throughout the city's media. They are aggressively opposed by LexCorp, which operates WLEX-TV, a major television station in Metropolis; and LexCom, an internet site that serves as a digital news center. As it is offered over the internet, LexCom has a great access to mainstream America, minus the costs of publishing. LexCorp's owner, Lex Luthor, manipulates nearly two-thirds of Metropolis business. Galaxy Communications stands as the leading major media empire which provides the citizens of Metropolis with information and entertainment. WGBS-TV, flagship station of the Galaxy Broadcasting System (GBS) television network, both subsidiaries of media conglomerate Galaxy Communications.〔''Superman'' (volume 1) #233, January 1971〕 Popular shows included ''The Midnight Show Starring Johnny Nevada'' (a fictional version of NBC's ''The Tonight Show'', with Johnny Nevada being an analogue of Johnny Carson).〔''Action Comics'' #442, December 1974〕 Between the early 1970s and mid-1980s, both Clark Kent and Lois Lane worked for WGBS after Galaxy Communications purchased the ''Daily Planet'' in a 1971 storyline, with Clark as the anchorman for the WGBS evening news.〔''Superman'' (volume 1) #317, November 1977〕 He was eventually joined by Lana Lang as a co-anchor.〔 After John Byrne's revamp of Superman's origins, though, Clark and Lois were reverted to working at the ''Daily Planet'' once again. Galaxy Broadcasting and WGBS-TV still exist post-Crisis, however, and are usually used in any story where a television station or network is needed or shown. Post-''Crisis'', Clark, Lois and Lana never worked for the station. During the 1990s however, both Jimmy Olsen and Cat Grant did work there. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Galaxy Communications (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
