J.A.R.V.I.S. - Wikipedia

J.A.R.V.I.S. is first introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's films, voiced by Paul Bettany. Modeled after H.O.M.E.R. from the comics, J.A.R.V.I.S. is presented as a sophisticated AI assistant as opposed to a human like his namesake. This was done to avoid similarities to Alfred Pennyworth and Batman. Bettany admits he had little idea of what the role was, even as he recorded it, simply doing it as a favor for Jon Favreau.[2]

Just a Rather Very Intelligent System

edit Further information: Iron Man (2008 film), Iron Man 2, The Avengers (2012 film), and Iron Man 3

The character makes his debut in Iron Man (2008), before appearing in Iron Man 2 (2010),[3] The Avengers (2012),[4] and Iron Man 3 (2013). J.A.R.V.I.S. is an AI that functions as Tony Stark's assistant, running and taking care of all the internal systems of Stark's buildings and the Iron Man suits. In Peter David's novelization of Iron Man, J.A.R.V.I.S. is said to be an acronym for "Just a Rather Very Intelligent System".[5] J.A.R.V.I.S. also appeared in the Disneyland attraction Innoventions.[6]

Age of Ultron and becoming Vision

edit

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, J.A.R.V.I.S. is seemingly destroyed by Ultron, but distributes his "consciousness" into the Internet, delaying Ultron's attempt to access nuclear launch codes. Stark and Bruce Banner use J.A.R.V.I.S. as the core software for the android Vision while F.R.I.D.A.Y. (Female Replacement Intelligent Digital Assistant Youth) replaces him as Stark's assistant.
