J.A.R.V.I.S. (Just a Rather Very Intelligent System) is a fictional character voiced by

Ultron, J.A.R.V.I.S. is given physical form as Vision, physically portrayed by Bettany. Different versions of the character also appear in comics published by Marvel Comics, depicted as AI designed by Iron Man and Nadia van Dyne.[1]

Marvel Cinematic Universe

J.A.R.V.I.S. is first introduced in the

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

The character makes his debut in the 2008 film Iron Man before subsequently appearing in the 2010 film Iron Man 2,[3] the 2012 film The Avengers,[4] and the 2013 film Iron Man 3. 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]
