Background

When Tony became Iron Man and joined the Avengers Jarvis was there and had become accustomed to being around super-heroes. That ease was thrown into question numerous times, one of which when he was severely beaten by the Masters of Evil. This wasn't enough to completely turn Jarvis away and he has stayed a permanent fixture of the Avengers for their entire run.

At one point one of the Avengers main enemies, Ultron, hypnotized Jarvis into helping him and the rest of the Masters of Evil bring down the Avengers, which they accomplished. Racked with guilt over what he had done Jarvis told the Black Knight what had happened and it was the Black Knight that eventually rescued the imprisoned Avengers. Realizing that Jarvis was hypnotized and not acting on his own accord, the Avengers welcomed Jarvis back with open arms.

Currently Jarvis is serving as the Butler for the New Avengers where one of the most recent additions to the Avengers headquarters is Spider-Man and Spider-Man elderly Aunt May. In recent issues Jarvis and May Parker have started to become romantically involved. He helped pay for May's medical bills after she was shot by a sniper hired by the Kingpin.
