Avengers Facility

The Avengers Compound, also known as the Avengers Facility, is the primary base of the Avengers and the establishment of any team's roster.

It was a Stark Industries warehouse renovated by Tony Stark to become the Avengers' primary base of operations following the Ultron Offensive. After the Avengers Civil War, Tony Stark continued to use the facility as his primary place of residence, and after selling Avengers Tower, he moved all the equipment into the facility. It was later annihilated before its ruins were the stage for the last battle against Thanos and his army for the fate of the universe.

History

Howard Stark had established numerous Stark Industries facilities in the United States of America, including a warehouse in upstate New York, which was used to store some of Stark Industries equipment. Eventually, Stark Industries abandoned the warehouse, although some of the equipment, such as the Signal Decoy remained stored inside.

Shortly after the Battle of Sokovia and Ultron's defeat, the Avengers reformed, so Tony Stark repurposed old warehouse into the Avengers Compound. With the assistance, provided by Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Erik Selvig, and Helen Cho, the Compound was used for scientific research, military training, weapons development, and the new Avengers program.

Unaware of the Compound foundation, Hank Pym sent Scott Lang to infiltrate the facility and retrieve the Signal Decoy, assuming that it was still an abandoned warehouse. Lang still attempted to carry out the plan but was intercepted by Sam Wilson who detected Lang's presence through motion detectors. Following a brief duel, Lang managed to disable Wilson's EXO-7 Falcon and escape from the Compound after successfully retrieving the Signal Decoy.

Captain America: Civil War

In 2016, Thaddeus Ross convened with the Avengers along with Tony Stark at the Avengers Compound to discuss the catastrophe in Lagos, which Wanda Maximoff and the Avengers were blamed for. Ross presented the Avengers with the Sokovia Accords which was supposed to restrict the Avengers’ actions under the government supervision due to all conflicts they were involved in. Steve Rogers strongly opposed the idea of the government restriction, while Stark was rather supportive of it, causing the Avengers to split into two factions. Due to the growing unrest within the Avengers, Stark requested Vision to keep Maximoff under lockdown at the Compound until further notice.

Shortly, Steve Rogers enlisted Clint Barton to rescue Wanda Maximoff from the Avengers Compound. Barton set off an explosion outside to distract Vision while he explained the situation to Maximoff. However, Vision interrupted them and set off Barton's electric trap, which he eventually escaped from and restrained Barton. Maximoff used her powers to control the Mind Stone forcing Vision to phase and release Barton. She then used her powers to increase Vision's density against his will until she slammed him through several stories of the Compound and deep into the ground, allowing Barton and Maximoff to escape.

Following the end of the Avengers Civil War, Tony Stark helped James Rhodes with physical therapy in his new exoskeletal brace, which allowed him to walk but ended his military and Avenger careers. Soon, Stark received a cellphone and a letter from Rogers, who apologized for keeping the truth about his parents' death from Stark and promised to be with him if he ever needed help.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

In 2016, after 2 mounts post-Avengers’ Civil War, Peter Parker then listened as Happy Hogan apologized for ignoring his calls and not treating him seriously, he also thanked Parker for saving the Stark Cargo Plane from Vulture, noting that if it was not for Spider-Man he might have lost his job at Stark Industries, Hogan explained that Tony Stark now wanted to speak with Parker upstate.

Parker was then brought to the Avengers Compound where Parker marveled at all of the advanced technology that the facility possessed, watching as a Quinjet took off from their grounds. There, Happy Hogan brought Parker to meet with Tony Stark who was waiting for him, with Stark then requesting a private talk with Parker, only for Hogan to still insisting on staying close by them regardless. As they then began walking together, Stark had apologized for taking away Parker's Spider-Man Suit though added that he had it coming following the ambush on MV Spirit of America and the fallout of that, claiming that it was the perfect tough love moment that Parker had needed. Stark then admitted that he was wrong about Parker's capabilities and that he was worthy to join the Avengers, which Stark had known had always been the ultimate dream for Parker.

Noting that there were fifty reporters who were still waiting for them, Stark then proudly displayed a new Iron Spider Armor for Parker to put on. He then told him that if Parker was ready, he would introduce all the world to the newest member of the Avengers, Spider-Man. While Parker was excited at the prospect of joining the Avengers and working with his mentor, his conflict with Vulture had given him a newfound maturity.

While Stark had begun explaining how Parker becoming an Avenger would work, noting he would stay next door to Vision, Parker, however, knowing that he had more to learn before he was ready to join the Avengers, politely declined Stark's offer and simply stated that he preferred to stay on the ground for the time of being a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, staying within New York City helping the people in need, much to the considerable surprise of Stark.

His mentor respected his decision and agreed to let Parker go back to New York, with Hogan telling him to wait in the car while he had a private word with Stark while Parker was gone. As Parker was about to leave, he turned and asked if this was simply a secret test of his character and that there were not really fifty reporters waiting for him to be announced as the latest member of the Avengers, as Stark had replied that it was and he passed, leaving Parker to walk away.

Unknown to Parker, Stark was serious about his desire to add Spider-Man to the Avengers, leaving Pepper Potts and Stark to instead tell the reports that they had been invited to announce their engagement, as Hogan gave Stark the ring, he had been carrying with him for years.

Avengers: Infinity War

Two years later, in Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian’s attack on Greenwich Village on goal to extract the Time Stone from the Masters of the Mystic Art, after Peter Parker finishing his battle with Ebony Maw, Iron Man/Tony Stark managed to locate the Q-Ship and fly towards the sky, contacting Parker to stay put and he deployed the Iron Spider Armor from the Avengers Compound to rescue Spider-Man, who was beginning to lose consciousness due to the lack of air. As Spider-Man fell unconscious from the Ship, the Armor managed to catch and surround him, allowing him to regain consciousness. With a final farewell from Iron Man, F.R.I.D.A.Y activated the Armor's in-built parachute to return him safely to the surface, much to Parker's dismay. Unknown to Stark, Parker had also managed to remain on and stow away aboard the Q-Ship, mere moments before Ebony Maw sent the Ship on an automated route towards Titan to rendezvous with Thanos, unaware that the Ship carried stowaways.

Later Thaddeus Ross contacted James Rhodes via hologram in the Avengers Compound and the two were talking about the disappearance of Vision and his rescue by Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff and Sam Wilson. When Rogers and his team arrived with Vision and Wanda Maximoff, Rhodes ended the call and with the reassembled Avengers and Bruce Banner, who had arrived earlier, discussed their next move. Banner warned them that Thanos was after the Mind Stone. Although Vision agreed to sacrifice himself and let the Mind Stone be destroyed in order to prevent Thanos from obtaining it, however, Rogers did not allow it. He decided to go to Wakanda, where they could extract the stone from Vision without killing him. The Avengers took a Quinjet and flew left the Compound.

Avengers: Endgame

Following the Snap, the surviving Avengers and Rocket Raccoon returned to the United States and, en route to the Avengers Compound, discovered a pager displaying a strange symbol which they recognized as having been activated by Fury who was one of the victims. At the Compound, they bypassed the battery in order to prevent it from running dry. As the pager continued to transmit with James Rhodes monitoring, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and Bruce Banner monitored the immense reports of casualties, making the full scale of the catastrophe horrifically clear. Rhodes reported that the pager had stopped transmitting, and Rogers requested that the signal is restarted, to Banner's objection as they had no idea who the signal was intended for. As Romanoff explained that Fury knew and that she wanted to know herself, she suddenly discovered that Carol Danvers arrived, demanding to know where Fury was. Shortly after her arrival at the Compound, Danvers set out to rescue Tony Stark and Nebula from deep space, managing to return them to Earth and to the Compound.

Following their arrival, the remaining Avengers assessed the casualties in the Snap. Following the briefing, Stark berated Rogers for their separation during the Infinity War, arguing that a suit of armoraround the world could have prevented Thanos' success, although Rogers quickly argued back that such an idea failed to work before. Weakened from his prolonged time in space and sudden outburst, Stark fainted. As Stark was administered medical care by Banner, the Avengers noted that Thanos' location was unknown following his escape after the Snap. Nebula revealed that Thanos planned to settle in a place known as "the Garden" once his plan was complete. Following a deep-space analysis, Rocket determined that the same energy signature emitted by the Snap was present on another uninhabited planet, Planet 0259-S, just two days prior. Surmising that Thanos was located there, Thor, Danvers, Rocket, Nebula, and the remaining Avengers sans Stark traveled there to confront him and regain the Infinity Stones to undo the Snap. However, Thanos revealed that he had destroyed the stones to prevent further use, making the Snap irreversible, before Thor killed him. Forced to live with their failure and annihilation of half the universe, the Avengers returned disheartened to Earth to the Compound.

Five years later, many of the remaining Avengers had set out on their own missions and lives, with only Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers remaining in the Avengers Compound. Following a meeting between Romanoff and Okoye, Nebula, Carol Danvers, Rocket Raccoon, and James Rhodes, Rhodes revealed to Romanoff that Barton had mass murdered the members of the Mexican Cartel as part of his campaign, much to Romanoff's distress. Later, Rogers offered to comfort Romanoff by making her dinner, but was interrupted by the arrival of Scott Lang.

Lang revealed that he had been transported to the Quantum Realm where he was trapped for five hours, only to realize that five years had passed on Earth when he emerged. Realizing that such a phenomenon could allow for time travel, Lang proposed that the Avengers travel back in time to extract the Infinity Stones from the past in order to reverse the Snap in the present. With the help of Bruce Banner, the Avengers managed to construct a makeshift time machine out of the quantum realm portal. Despite their efforts, however, their attempt to send Lang back in time was a failure, sending time through Lang instead. Having anticipated this failure and had a change of heart, Tony Stark drove to the Avengers Compound with a working Time-Space GPS, making amends with Rogers and agreeing to help. While Stark developed the time machine, the others were tasked with bringing together the rest of the Avengers, including Thor, Clint Barton, Rocket and Nebula who returned from space, and Rhodes.

After the Avengers reassembled, Banner, Nebula, and Lang worked on the Advanced Tech Suit that would allow them to travel through the quantum realm. Barton agreed to use the time machine for one test run. The test run was a success, with Barton landing in his homestead in an alternate time period and returning to the present within seconds. Having managed to create a safe, working time machine, the Avengers worked together to determine the best time periods to go back to, eventually deciding to go to New York City in 2012?for the Time, Space, and Mind Stones; Asgard in 2013 for the Reality Stone; and Vormir and Moragin 2014 for the Soul and Power Stones respectively. Later, working time-travel suits were made for all the Avengers, using the Ant-Man Suit as a basis for its design.

Following the successful Time Heist in which each Infinity Stone was extracted from the past and brought to the present, the Avengers regrouped in the hangar of the Avengers Compound, although, unbeknownst to them, an alternate version of Nebula from 2014 had been to replace her true self. After taking a moment to mourn Romanoff's sacrifice, the Avengers decided to move forth with their plan. After Tony Stark, Rocket Raccoon, and Bruce Banner built a Nano Gauntlet to house the Infinity Stones, Thor volunteered to use it, but was quickly advised against it due to his physical and mental condition. Instead, Banner decided to wield the Gauntlet, realizing that the gamma radiation within him would help him survive the Stones' power. Despite initially struggling under the raw power of wielding the Infinity Stones, Banner was able to snap his fingers and enact the Blip, restoring all the lives taken five years before.

While the Avengers were preparing to initiate the Blip, Nebula from the alternate 2014 activated the Quantum Tunnel, allowing Thanos and his army to enter the Quantum Realm in the Sanctuary II and exit through the Quantum Tunnel in the compound. Before the Avengers could notice, the Sanctuary II destroyed parts of Avengers Compound, blasting through the roof. Now in the sky, the ship fired several missiles at the Compound. A final larger missile successfully destroyed the entire Compound, creating a huge explosion across the entire compound and beyond, leaving a large black cloud filling the area and sky.

As a result of the Blip, Peter Parker was restored to life and he woke up on Titan from unconsciousness, unaware of what had happened. He was met by Doctor Strange, who informed him that five years had passed and that they were needed back on Earth. After Strange contacted Wong to gather allies from across the universe, Strange transported Parker, Peter Quill, Drax and Mantis via Inter-Dimensional Portal to the destroyed Avengers Compound.

The ruins of the Compound served as the battleground during the Battle of Earth. Parts of the main Compound remained still intact. During the battle, a dam broke by the lake next to the Compound, but this was stopped by Strange. Peter Parker, Sam Wilson, Wanda Maximoff, Bucky Barnes, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Wong, the Masters of the Mystic Arts, T'Challa, Shuri, the Wakandan armies, the Asgardians, the Ravagers, Hope van Dyne, and Pepper Potts arrived there to participate. Parker joined the Avengers and stood behind Steve Rogers as he gave the rallying cry. He then prepared himself to fight against an alternate Thanos and his armies, which included Chitauri, Sakaarans, Outriders, and the Black Order.

During the battle, Spider-Man used his webs to pull Cull Obsidian back to prevent him from harming Tony Stark. After Scott Lang, in Giant form, crushed Obsidian with his enlarged foot, Parker removed his mask and helped Stark stand up on his feet. Parker told Stark about turning into dust before passing out, further noting that Strange was there with him and began to wake him up to tell the rest that they need him. While talking, he was taken by surprise when Stark hugged him and returned the hug while commenting that it felt nice.

After Hawkeye gave Black Panther the Nano Gauntlet to protect it, Spider-Man swung in and called out to Black Panther, who was trapped by Ebony Maw. Black Panther then threw it up and Spider-Man shot a web strand at it. Once Spider-Man had taken the Nano Gauntlet and landed onto an Outrider, he then activated 'Instant Kill' mode to impale countless Outriders. Despite defeating many Outriders, Spider-Man had a hard time handling them in packs, knowing he did not have much leverage against them.

After Spider-Man called for assistance, Captain America noticed the Outriders attacking him and hurled Mjølnir at Parker, who hung onto the hammer with a web strand, but he began to fall when a shot from the Sanctuary II, which alternate Thanos had ordered to rain fire, severed the web strand. Pepper Potts, who was wearing her Mark XLIX Armor, caught him and dropped him off onto Valkyrie's steed, Warsong. Parker attempted to introduce himself to Valkyrie, but a shot from the Sanctuary II threw him off the steed and onto the ground.

Spider-Man then tried to run away from the upcoming fire, but was interrupted with a blast, sending him flying across the field. After noticing incoming fire from above that were shooting down at many people below, Parker took cover under the tempest of energy blasts from Thanos' ship, but the ship's guns turned towards Captain Marvel, who had entered the Earth's atmosphere and destroyed the Sanctuary II. Rogers asked Danvers to help transport the Infinity Stones over to Luis' Van.

While still protecting the Nano Gauntlet, Parker noticed Danvers landing in front of him and nervously introduced himself, having Danvers greet him. Once Danvers asked something from Parker, he looked over to the many armed forces crowding against him. Parker handed her the Nano Gauntlet before telling her that he could not know how she would be able to go through all of the oncoming army. Wanda Maximoff arrived next to him and told him not to worry, as she and other female heroes rallied behind Danvers

Despite their best efforts, alternate Thanks destroyed the van with his sword and overpowered Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Captain Marvel. Ultimately, Stark stole the Infinity Stones and integrated them into his suit, using them to wipe out alternate Thanos and his entire army. Once the Gamma Radiation was emitted into the fatally-wounded Stark, Parker swung over to him and began to notice that he was not in good condition.

Parker walked up to Stark who had James Rhodes by his side, leaning towards him for conversation. Parker told Stark that they had won the battle, but Stark could not answer back, causing Parker to tear up. Desperately wanting to find a response from Stark, Parker realized that he was dying and became overwhelmed with guilt. After Pepper Potts pulled the crying Parker away and said her goodbye, Stark died slowly in peace and Parker honored his death afterward.

About a week later, Bruce Banner was operating another Quantum Tunnel outside the destroyed Compound, which was concurrently being cleaned up.
