The Starks' son, Tony, called the first meeting of the Avengers as Iron Man and donated the house as headquarters, so that it became Avengers Mansion. Jarvis grew accustomed to the guests and served the Avengers for many years on, acting as a father figure to some of the newcomers. He was the only one to stay with the Avengers for their entire existence, a distinction not even Captain America can claim. As a result, Cap has stated that Jarvis should be regarded as just as much of an Avenger as he is. This article is about the superhero. ...

Jarvis spent some time as the primary babysitter for Franklin Richards, the super-powered son of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman when they were residing at the mansion. He also served as the sponsor to future Avengers member Silverclaw while she was growing up, and she has come to regard him as an uncle. This article is about the Marvel Comics character. ... Mr. ...

Being butler to the Avengers meant that Jarvis has had to deal with their enemies himself on several occasions. In Avengers #59 and 60 (December 1969 - January 1970) he was assaulted by intruders into the mansion and bound and gagged two issues in a row.

He has also been involved personally in many adventures, including leading the evacuation of a stalled subway train during a city-wide disaster, and battling a demonically possessed car. During this time he dated a woman he rescued named Glory. Jarvis defended the floating Hydrobase against a horde of robots built by Doctor Doom during the Acts of Vengeance crisis. He was present when one of the many incarnations of the Masters of Evil attacked the mansion. He was brutally beaten while Captain America was forced to watch. It took some time for Jarvis to recover from his injuries. He even wore an eyepatch for some time. Jarvis personally confronted Loki himself, risking great danger, after realizing the villain had tricked his way inside the mansion in Avengers #400. For other uses, see Inferno (comics). ...

When the New Avengers were formed, Jarvis was called back after taking a holiday "for the first time in years," having been informed that his 'special' services were once again needed. Jarvis often confronts Wolverine over the man's poor kitchen etiquette, a battle only new member Spider-Man's Aunt May was able to win. He struck up a relationship with May, who had moved into Stark Tower with Peter and Mary Jane after her house burnt down. When Spider-Man switched sides during the Civil War, however, Aunt May and Mary Jane had to flee Stark Tower and live in hiding. The relationship would not be referred to again, an unspoken casualty of the war. ... For other uses, see Wolverine (disambiguation). ... Spider-Man swinging around his hometown, New York City. ...

In a recent New Avengers "Civil War" story, Jarvis was shown getting shot by an employee of Tony Stark, who was opposed to Tony using technology he invented to enforce the Superhuman Registration Act. However, it appears Jarvis recovers from this wound, as in Civil War: The Initiative, he is shown to be working again. He also humorously mentions that if Tony Stark allowed "that Tigra %^#$" in the new incarnation of the Avengers, Tony would need to find someone else to do the laundry. Tigra had worked for Tony Stark's side throughout the entirety of the Civil War incident.

In Spider-Man: One More Day, Jarvis is given a $200,000 check by Stark to pay for Aunt May's hospital bills after an angry confrontation with Peter. She was dying after being shot by a sniper (hired by The Kingpin) in revenge once Stark convinced Spider-Man to unmask. Jarvis visibly breaks down upon seeing her in the hospital bed, confessing his deep love to the Parkers. One More Day is a 4-part, 2007 comic book crossover storyline, connecting all of the Spider-Man comic book series. ...

As a consequence of the "One More Day" storyline, the Spider-Man comics have undergone a major continuity overhaul, of which many consequences have yet to be revealed. With Peter Parker's identity secret again, there may be no way to connect May and Jarvis -- an upcoming issue of New Avengers is advertised as addressing Spider-Man's "new" history with the team, which would include this time period.

In Secret Invasion, it is revealed that Jarvis has been replaced by a Skrull impersonating him. Using a computer virus, he disables a number of Stark Enterprises facilities, as well as Stark's Iron Man armor. Secret Invasion is a comic book storyline that began in April 2008, published by Marvel Comics. ... The Skrulls are a fictional race of extraterrestrial shapeshifters that appear in the Marvel Universe. ...

Personal life

• Jarvis once started a pen pal relationship with a young girl who would grow up to be the superhero Silverclaw. Her trip to America to meet Jarvis would be foiled when she was forced into helping terrorists in a massive attack. Silverclaw's efforts helped the people in danger at the airport, including Jarvis himself.
