History-- Edwin Jarvis was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, but during World War II, he ran away to join the Canadain Royal Air Force to fight for Britain against the Nazis as an underage pilot. Presumably, it was is this capacity that he acqired his accent and learned learned how to be a "gentlemen's gentlemen." Returning to the United States, he found a position as bulter for the Stark family. When Tony Stark (secretly Iron Man) first joined the superteam, the Avengers, he offered his family mansion as headquarters, and Jarvis stayed as bulter.

Early in his association with the Avengers, Jarvis, desperate for money due to his mother's extreme illness, accepted the money from the original Crimson Cowl (revealed to be the robot Ultron) in exchange for providing blueprints to the Avengers' mansion. Ultron captured the Avengers and hypnotized Jarvis to believe he was the Crimson Cowl. The Avengers soon turned the tables on Ultron and helped Jarvis regain his identity and restore his mother to health.

Aside from offering occasional advice and support to troubled Avengers, Jarvis has also helped the Avengers in various adventures, such as rescuing the civilian Judy Parks from Graviton and helping the Avengers subdue a time-displaced D'Artagnan. Once, Jarvis stood up to and fought the Bruiser, a neighborhood bully who robbed his mother. He further inspired her neighbors to join him in driving Bruiser out of the neighborhood

When the villains Masters of Evil managed to take over the Avengers Mansion, Jarvis was held hostage during the occupation and brutally tortured by Mister Hyde. Jarvis was rescued by the Avengers and took a leave of absence to recuperate. Jarvis later returned once he had sufficiently healed from his injuries. Soon after, the Avengers temporarily disbanded from active duty, and Jarvis was temporarily relieved, until the Avengers reassembled. During the Avengers temporary disbanding, Jarvis met and began dating Glory Garsen.

Upon reassembling, the Avengers expanded their "ground crew" to include other non-superhuman job dutites, of which Jarvis enjoyed a senior position as "Chief of Staff." At one point, the Ground Crew was brainwashed by the villainous Skeleton Crew into attacking the Avengers, although they were easily defeated and freed from the Skeleton Crew's control. When the Avenger Crystal took up residence in the mansion with her daughter Luna, she brought with her a nanny, Marilla. The two became rivals over various domestic duties but over time became fond of each other. Eventually, the Avengers' Ground Crew was dismissed and Jarvis remained the sole domestic worker for the mansion once more.

Later still, Jarvis was relieved of duty when the Avengers disbanded again, this time presumably permanently due to the perceived death of many members by the entity known as Onslaught. Jarvis felt extremely displaced and sank into a depression, living off his pension from the Stark Foundation. Even so, he helped his former co-Ground Crew member Fabian Stankowicz deactivate his Protectorate robots, robots meant to replace the Avengers but had gone renegade. When the Avengers returned and reassembled, Jarvis also returned to service, with a renewed sense of duty.

Jarvis recently revealed that he had been sponsoring a foreign child, Maria de Guadalupe "Lupe" Santiago, and had the opportunity to meet her in person as she came to New York for college. The Avengers soon discovered Lupe was the superhuman adventurer Silverclaw and was placed in Jarvis' sponsorship precisely because of his connection to the Avengers. Silverclaw aided the Avengers against the arms dealer Moses Magnum, and was later offered provisional membership in the group.

Jarvis continues to service the Avengers Mansion and offered advice and support when needed.
