Stark Tower

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stark Tower, est. 2005 and named after owner Tony Stark, serves as headquarters to the Marvel Comics team, the Avengers.

Built over a period of four years, it stands tall as a gleaming beacon of modern architecture. The top three floors were to be Stark's new home, but when the new Avengers were founded, he gave it to the team as a gift, to be their home when they needed it, to be a meeting place and base of operations.

Just like the Avengers headquarters, Avengers Mansion, Stark Tower is suited with state-of-the-art technology and a very extravagant interior, including hanging portraits from former Avengers cover art. The place where it stands now was the former site of The Sentry's Watchtower before he erased all the world's memory of him. When the Sentry recovered from his "mental virus", the Watchtower installed itself atop Stark Tower, convincing Tony Stark that it was fate that really brought them together.

When the team came together in this place, Edwin Jarvis the butler was welcomed back to his position as caretaker and continues to look after a new team of superheroes.
