JARVIS

**J.A.R.V.I.S. (**Stands for **J**ust **A R**ather **V**ery **I**ntelligent **S**ystem**)** is an allied character in *Marvel's Avengers*. It serves as the main supporting character of the game, providing intel and field support for the Avengers.

## Biography

JARVIS was created by Tony Stark and was used on his Iron Man suits as his personal A.I.. At some point, it was installed into the Chimera's war table, allowing it to interact with the other Avengers. It often provided tactical support for the team, performing from digital surveillance to hacking into enemies' systems. At some point (presumably after A-Day), JARVIS's files were copied onto a hard drive and stored in the Olympia Archive.

### Events of *Marvel's Avengers*

#### Reassembling the Avengers

Hoping to search for Stark to help uncover the truth about Captain America's apparent death, Kamala Khan and Bruce Banner retrieved JARVIS's hard drive from the archive. Uploaded to the Chimera's War Table, its systems worked at minimum capacity, due to the power provided to the table. Though given full power after some quick maintainance, JARVIS was unable to search for Stark, due to the ship's damaged neural uplink. Despite this, it advised them in the field as they searched for a vault with the device.

With repairs finished, JARVIS tracked Stark to the Golden Acres estate. After its creator's return, it helped advice on the Chimera's repair and tracked down necessary resources in AIM's possession and worked on decrypting footage of Captain America in the helicarrier's reactor room. JARVIS also obtained info on resourced needed to construct a new Iron Man suit and informed the Avengers on the arrival of SHIELD agents. It also helped Stark track down a potential new power source for the Chimera. At the same time, JARVIS helped Kamala and Bruce track down Initiator Cores to repair the engines and provided them intel of the Watchdogs.

When the Avengers made contact with Hank Pym and the Resistance, JARVIS continued to provide support for them as they inflitrated a facility to gain evidence of Inhuman experimentation. It also processed information about potential defectors provided to the Avengers by Black Widow. JARVIS also began receiving intel about AIM's operations through sources in the Resistance and SHIELD.

During AIM's attack on the Chimera, JARVIS was incapacitated when George Tarleton attempted to hack its systems. JARVIS was overwhelmed by the Inhuman's powers, though was later freed when Kamala destroyed his interface device. After the fight, it finally finished decrypting the footage and showed it to the Avengers, revealing that Captain America had destroyed the Terrigen reactor and crashed the helicarrier. When the Avengers either left or began fighting, JARVIS continued to help Kamala and helped review Monica Rappaccini's interrogation footage. When Kamala openly asked for her father's help, it responded by calling him for her. This ultimately inspired to continue searching, resulting in her discovering another lead.

When Captain America returned, JARVIS expressed pleasure for seeing his return, commenting he was a sight for sore eyes. With the Avengers reunited, it warned that Inhuman prosecution had increased since their "attack" on New York City and informed Thor of his apparent involvement with a branch of AIM.

#### Reigning Supreme

After the defeat of MODOK, JARVIS continued to support the Avengers, keeping them informed of developments with AIM and obtaining information about its Hive facilities. It also helped on missions, often via hacking systems and retrieving data from the company's servers. JARVIS also provided updates on missions available via the War Table and briefed them on their mission objectives on route in the Quinjet.

## Notes

* In Marvel Comics, there are two "Jarvis" characters associated with Iron Man and the Avengers: Tony Stark's butler Edwin Jarvis, who debuted in *Tales of Suspense* #59 (November 1964), and artificial intelligence Just A Rather Very Intelligent System ("J.A.R.V.I.S." for short), who debuted in the 2008 film *Iron Man*. Both serve as supporting characters to the two and are involved in providing intel or general services for them. Though J.A.R.V.I.S. was created as a replacement to Edwin strictly for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, due to his similarities to the DC Comics character Alfred Pennyworth, he has subsequently been adapted into the comics. The AI version serves basis for the game's JARVIS.
