Tony Stark's Mansion

**Tony Stark's Mansion** is the private residence of billionaire philanthropist Tony Stark, located on a sea-side cliff along the coast of Malibu. The mansion was highly technologically integrated and was wired by Stark to be run by his personal AI, J.A.R.V.I.S..

## History

### Design

Tony Stark built a custom mansion in Malibu, California just over the promontory Point Dume, creating an Artificial intelligence system that helped out in the house, naming it "Just a Rather Very Intelligent System", shortened J.A.R.V.I.S..

### One-Night Stands

Tony Stark and his friend James Rhodes went to a night club to celebrate the success of a weapon demonstration in Arizona, seducing two girls named Eloise and Celeste. The four left the club to return to Stark's Mansion in Malibu after a brief fight with a jealous man.

Stark met journalist Christine Everhart while leaving the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, flirting with her while deflecting some of her uncomfortable questions, and the two ended up spending the night together in Malibu. The next morning Stark left Everhart to be sent home by his assistant Pepper Potts, while he went to work on his Ford Flathead Roadster. After Everhart was sent home, Pepper reminded him about his trip to Asia, right after sending Everhart home.

### Development of Iron Man

Upon escaping from his kidnapping, Tony Stark retreated from public view, spending several days in the basement of his mansion in Malibu, and focusing on the design of his second armor, refining its size and flight capability. He asked Pepper Potts to help him take his old Arc Reactor out and to put in a new one. Stark tested his second armor flying over Malibu and reaching the atmospheric freezing level, crash landing over one of his cars.

Over time, Stark realized that Obadiah Stane had been supplying weapons to terrorists, and after watching the news about terrorist attacks over Timbetpal, Ho Yinsen's village, Stark outfitted himself with his armor and flew to Asia. Determined to make amends for his mistakes, Stark sent Pepper Potts to find the shipping records of Stark Industries, so he can track down the illicit shipments and destroy them.

Stane realized that Potts discovered his deal with the terrorists to kill Stark and that he obtained the armor prototype, so he went to Stark's Mansion to steal the Arc Reactor from Stark's chest and power his new suit, leaving Stark to die. Stark was able to descend to the basement to retrieve his first reactor and power his latest armor to battle with Stane.

Stark returned to his house after defeating Stane and announcing his identity as Iron Man.

## Layout

### Main Floor

*"I hate when people tell me my place. Which reminds me, Celeste, Eloise, let's go see my place."*
―Tony Stark[src]
The main floor of the mansion contained most of the basic living areas, including a large, open foyer/living room and a kitchen. The foyer is large enough to host upscale parties, much to Stark's personal taste and style.

### Workshop

In the basement of the mansion is Tony Stark's workshop, where he created and stored his Iron Man Armors. A large, open area with mostly concrete walls, this area was well suited for small scale testing of Stark's Armors. In addition, Stark also kept a collection of both vintage and up-to-date cars in his workshop, parked near an access ramp back to street-level.

The entire workshop possessed an expansive hologram projector system that was operated through J.A.R.V.I.S., where Stark could manipulate digital projections for a variety of purposes such as looking at documents through the internet and secure databases, or to project a 3-D model of his or anything that he was creating or studying.

### Landscape

Outside of the house was enough space for several cars which served for parties; in the middle of the front garden, a water fountain was placed
