In terms of public tech like IPods, TVs, Smartphones, Cars, Social Media and the like, what companies are developing these devices and technology? I know Stark isnt in continuity at all yet but we know he and Stark Enterprises are in the All Star verse and will show up eventually. Is Stark just making weapons or is he developing consumer tech? I know that Von Doom created the tablet but are they the lead pioneers of that?
I'm only fully read up on Spiderman, Scarlet Spider, and F4. I'm just now reading GotG.

Science tools are all kinds of awesome, and they are out there. Doom ind had tech, but the bulk of those patents were sold off. The Reed's and the team do invent things but they sell off production rights, so while they get credit/pay for the invention most people know them as something a company makes. But if one's character is really into tech and such they'd know.

So as of right now no fictional companies are leading their respective industries?
Also who is the president?

As per FF tech the "presidents" are various smaller companies, leased out to produce the items. The leader of the R&D firm is Reed. And it's some awesome tech. And that's just the stuff they allow to be released.
The key thing to keep in mind is what the character would know. The kid who just likes the cool toy would like the company. The tech nerd who follows R&D would know Reed.

What about Xanatos Enterprises?

Star's really the only person who fully knows what Xanatos Corp is up to, I think. Da Costa International made it's debut in last month's X-Men, but even I'm not entirely sure what it does. It does a lot, let's go with that.

OsCorp is a leading engineering company with specializations in mechanical and biological engineering. They also are the only company in the superhuman prison business, meaning they work with SHIELD and governments all the time. However, the whole prison thing is kept under the radar. No ordinary civ would know.
Serval Industries is one of the most powerful fashion companies in the world. However, like OsCorp, they've got a lot going on underneath the surface. Serval is one of HYDRA's companies (or, at least, CEO Roderick Kingsley proudly works for HYDRA) and they produce some tech and bioengineering for the Nazi organization.

My description of Xanatos Enterprises is as far as I've gotten with it. I'm only now introducing him so I haven't nailed down any specifics.
I will say that we plan for him and Norman Osborn to be rivals, if it isn't obvious already. I look forward to someone claiming Stark, as potential Xanatos/Stark scenes would be amazing.

I didn't know Stark was available. I may have to grab him next month.

That would be a hell of an interesting addition to your cast. The roster's already really unique! It would only get that much better. I can't wait for your first issue!
