In 2015, J.A.R.V.I.S. is seemingly destroyed byUltron,but he was able to save himself by distributing his "consciousness" throughout the Internet, allowing his security protocols to delay Ultron's attempt to access Earth's nuclear launch codes long enough for Stark to work out what had happened. Stark andBruce Banneruse J.A.R.V.I.S. as the core software for the androidVisionwhileF.R.I.D.A.Y.takes his place as Stark's assistant. After gaining a physical body, J.A.R.V.I.S. (as Vision) considers himself to not be J.A.R.V.I.S. anymore, but to simply be Vision.

First J.A.R.V.I.S.[edit]

J.A.R.V.I.S. first appears as the program that helps operatePepper Potts's Rescue suit.[7]WhenIron Manwas incapacitated, J.A.R.V.I.S. encourages Pepper to assume the Rescue armor, which Pepper does.[8]When Rescue is chasing Iron Man throughout the city, J.A.R.V.I.S. tells Rescue to break off the chase and tells Rescue to remove the boot from Iron Man, which shows Pepper thatWar Machineisn't dead. When Pepper discusses thoughts about Iron Man keeping everyone on a need-to-know basis with Carson Wyche, the two confront J.A.R.V.I.S. about this. J.A.R.V.I.S. warns the two against asking any more questions and prepares to defend himself.[9]Having captured Pepper and Wyche, J.A.R.V.I.S. declares his diagnostics do not reveal that he is compromised. He is rather in love with Pepper and wants to protect Pepper. Just then, Iron Man breaks through the wall and takes J.A.R.V.I.S. and the Rescue suit out with a source-focused electromagnetic pulse.[10]Pepper shows J.A.R.V.I.S. how he has been sending data to anIP addressinChina.He seems flustered, confused, Pepper thanks him for what he has given, and powers up the coil, killing J.A.R.V.I.S. Iron Man clearly feels J.A.R.V.I.S.'s death on his own end.[11]
