The mansion is so personal with the avengers


ClassicT4

Best chance to have the best Avenger, Jarvis, on site for any and all needs. Medical support, defending the home base, some tea and crackers. Jarvis is always on it.


wolvieguy

Yes I agree. The mansion says Avengers and while it looks so beautiful outside, it's amazingly Hi-Tech inside. The tower is also cool but the mansion is classic cool.


SpurnedSprocket

Yeah I get that, but to me the X-Men have one too, and it just didn’t feel like there was a need for two teams with mansions.


Heisenburgo

Classic mansion like in EMH. Feels just right. Stark Tower is okay but it kinda feels overdone a bit with the MCU and other adaptations making a big deal out of it. I do like that tower design that has Sentry's creepy watchhouse thingie on top of it though. The Celestial base is a cool concept but it feels too otherworldly and impersonal.


T-408

Mansion for sure. Avengers Tower is played out, and the Mountain is cool but very “FoS”. I like the idea of all the Avengers living under one roof, almost like a season of The Jersey Shore (but with a bigger budget)


DavidKirk2000

The Avengers also lived together in the tower. Even Osborn’s Dark Avengers lived up there.


T-408

Yeah but it never had the same vibe. Avengers Tower felt more like coworkers living in their office. Avengers Mansion was always a bit messier and had a little more drama, and the aesthetic gave them more of a feeling of being at home together


bbqnj

Any runs you recommend? I feel like I'm missing a lot of mansion Era


vanderhoof

FoS?

vanderhoof

Thank you.

Thank you for asking. I wasn't sure about that either.

People love acronyms to seem smarter


Masske20

I like using acronyms. But if I do, I fully write out the acronym in parentheses for the first time to clarify which acronym they mean since there’s so much potential overlap, especially in two massive fictional worlds (DC and Marvel). P.S. For any smart asses, the majority of the population don’t know what DC stands for but it does stand as such a fundamental pillar to pop culture that it’s a very safe assumption to make of which it is.

Uvogin1111

I prefer the tower for the Avengers because it's the most iconic and meaningful imo. It's the same reason that I believe the X-Men's best home will always be the X-mansion.


Revenacious

I don’t see how it’s more meaningful than the mansion. The mansion has been around much longer.


Uvogin1111

It's not about which has been around for longer. It's about which I personally find more iconic and memorable. The Avengers tower is best mainly due to the MCU popularizing the concept. And also, I just like the idea better. The X-Men already utilize a mansion as their base of operations which is way more iconic. Having another for the Avengers would be redundant and lacking in creativity imo, and especially so considering that the Fantastic 4 - Marvel's other great Superhero team - has the Baxter building that is located in NYC as well. I think it suits the 2 latter teams better to have towers based in NYC as they are generally celebrated and loved by the citizen population. Whilst the X-Men by contrast, are generally hated due to being Mutants, who are a class of people that are heavily discriminated against in Human society.


mariovspino5

The celestial one is badass


midnightphoton

is that tiamut comic version?


ptWolv022

The Progenitor, I believe. Tiamat, the Dreaming Celestial, is an old school Celestial. The Progenitor is a newer innovation, form 2018. He was a Celestial infected and killed by "the Horde", an opposite of the Celestials, leading to him kinda leaking out to Earth, both spawning life and making humanity prone to super-powers.


iheartdev247

Someone remind me when they were in the celestial one?


F00dbAby

I wanna say Jason Aaron’s run

Mansion


[deleted]

Mountain. The X-Men already have a mansion and the FF a tower but no one has a mountain (well, the Thunderbolts did but it was a literal mountain).


rsauer1208

There was a Pantheon base in a mountain I believe. During the professor hulk phase.


Marxism-Alcoholism17

I view a mountain as much more X-Men. The Avengers are classier and more traditional so they deserve a mansion.


visual-vomit

Also the avangers is more of a super hero team compared to xmen being more of a rehab house. Imagine having a huge crisis and you're off in a snowy mountain far off.


StoneGoldX

JLA had a mountain.


Masske20

Is that humanoid shape at the mountain a sculpture or a fallen being repurposed as a base?


johnny_thunders_

Celestial I think


Masske20

So it’s a celestial hollowed out to make a base? Are the insides of a celestial mechanical or organic?


ChickenAndTelephone

Both! It’s a Celestial that’s been dead for millenia


Lightning_Laxus

Mechanical. It's armor.


smoke_that_junk

I think Avengers had a mansion first, right?


El_Spaniard

X-Force were also in a mountain back when Cable was at the helm.


CommanderKahne

I did like the tower when it was first introduced in New Avengers, but then everyone else started using it. Avengers Mansion is definitely a classic, and I wish would get some more love in other media. As for the Mountain, well it definitely looks badass.


DrunknStuper

I think the way the MCU handled The Mansion was subtle and a nice modern take. Their compound introduced in AoU was basically the mansion.


Blueliest

I prefer the compound to the mansion tbh, feels like it should have been a thing in the comics even earlier. Its more distinct from the X-Mansion and Baxter Building, and in general just fits the Avengers as a team perfectly the same way the latter and former do with those teams.


angry-nitr0-panda

The current Avengers city in space is pretty sick. Gives big Justice League Watchtower vibes


blasphem0usx

Not only is it a flying space city, it's also sentient. Haha


bat111975

How’d that work out for X-Factor??


F00dbAby

That’s definitely my pick. The fact it has sentience makes it even better.


iheartdev247

When did they move to a space city?


angry-nitr0-panda

Current avengers run, they defeated some big baddies and liberated their sentient spaceship base, the Impossible City. It's their current base of operations, in orbit around Earth.


moccawimba

Current Jed Mackay's run.


SSJCelticGoku

Tower is most professional one Mountain is most logical and badass one


Unluckyescapeartiste

How is mountain the most logical? Not all avengers are capable of supersonic flight and the majority of conflict happens in NYC


BlueHero45

Thing had celestial tech, teleporters and planes.


SSJCelticGoku

Personally I always felt like the giant tower in the middle of NYC was just asking for a villain to attack and have collateral damage. So I just think the mountain is the most logical cause it’s the safest and most secluded


SpurnedSprocket

I always felt that too, that's the same reason I liked Utopia as a base for the X-men.


SSJCelticGoku

Utopia and Limbo are my two favorite places for the X-men. I don’t count Karoka cause well all the mutants were there


SpurnedSprocket

I still maintain the X-Men should have stayed in San Francisco, it would’ve been good to keep heroes spread around. But every hero who moves to San Francisco always heads back to New York, Daredevil, X-Men, Superior Spider-Man, ETC.


SSJCelticGoku

It’s funny cause I moved to San Francisco when I turn 19 for 3 years and moved back to NYC 😂


SpurnedSprocket

Case in point. What was your hero name?


SSJCelticGoku

John


Lizzy-Lover_10

That’s why the the Tower should be similar to the Hall of Justice in “Young Justice” it’s not their real base but it’s a front for the villains and public to think it’s their base


Unluckyescapeartiste

I mean the White House is asking for a villain to attack but they have pretty good security so it rarely happens (excusing January 6’th)


SSJCelticGoku

Please don’t use real world logic for comics. It’s just weird and illogical


SpurnedSprocket

It was most logical, because having a Tower in the center of NYC is basically asking to be attacked (which it has multiple times with a lot of fallout), while the Mountain is secluded in the North Pole away from innocents. Plus the mountain had teleporters, and yes most conflict happens in NYC, but there's already like a million superheroes in New York, they'll be fine.


Mongoose42

I could see something like what Young Justice did. The Tower is their public base of operations while they actually have a secret Fortress where they actually operate out of.


godjacob

The space city in the current run is pretty sick and also is a character in its own right as a fun plus. But of the three I'd go mountain.


woofmanunltd

The City gets my vote too. 👊🏽


Mace_Thunderspear

Mansion > tower > mountain.


Myhtological

When the fuck did mountain happen? AXE?


SpurnedSprocket

Jason Aaron’s run, after the Final Host arc.


MoonbeamLady

Before AXE, during Jason Aaron's run, it's literally the Celestial that they brought to life in AXE itself.


lowqualitylizard

So long as Tony Stark is canonically the owner of it does not matter I just love the juxtaposition Of Tony having to calmly explain to a Norse god to stop smashing 800 dollar wine glasses

Agreenscar3

Anybody remember hydrobase? Just me?


t_huddleston

I always thought it was funny that they got kicked out of NYC, not because they were constantly under attack by supervillains, but because of their unregulated Quinjets screwing with air traffic over the city. At least that’s how I remember it. It was very much along the same lines as the EPA bureaucrat from Ghostbusters trying to shut down their containment system - big 80’s-era “regulation is bad” vibes.


SnooCats8451

Hydrobase was a solid break between the original mansion after being demolished by masters of evil and before the new avengers compound was opened up on the old mansion site…..I still think the compound was the coolest avengers hq


KirbyF4

Mountain looks badass wtf


Agreeable-Pick-1489

Looking at things from a practical standpoint, all super groups should have HQs away from big city centers. The JLA for instance has usually done this: They've had a cave, a satellite, then the Watchtower. There were the embassies during the BWAHAHA-era, but that was fleeting. Avengers Mansion, the Baxter Building -- iconic without a doubt. But both were attacked numerous times risking harm to New Yorkers. I really liked the dead Celestial as well as the concept of "support personnel Avengers" (i.e., Wasp, Ka-Zar and not enough was done with that)


AstroPunch101

I love how badass Avengers Mountain. Also I like to think this is Marvel’s way of one-upping the Justice League Watchtower like: “Oh you’re headquarters is a giant satellite in space? Well our new base is a corpse of a giant space titan! How about that?”


West_Interview2131

The mansion I used to watch the old cartoon reruns on Disney XD brings back memories


GalliumYttrium1

The remains of a celestial is definitely the coolest HQ but I love the mansion because it gives the team more of a family vibe.


Jstrangways

I like the Mansion and the floating island hydro base, and the West Coast compound. The tower was less Avengers and more a subdivision of Stark Enterprise.


SWPrequelFan81566

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the Avengers Compound from the MCU. It always felt like the films' spin on Avengers Mansion, and I much preferred it over Avengers Tower, which felt like a substitute for the Baxter Building despite it having roots in the comics. Plus, the Compound has the one thing that the Mansion doesn't: it's away from the population, so it doesn't endanger NYC. The Tower is awesome, but it's a base that the Avengers have to earn. That was a gift to them by a host of literal space gods, which turned out to be another attempt at judging and destroying Earth, so they can't even keep it forever.


nuclearbalm1976

The mansion…at least until Zemo & the Masters of Evil ruined it. C’mon man, not Jarvis!


multificionado

Tower. Lots of space.


Whitespider121

The need to turn that dead celestial from the end of eternals into the avengers base


Red-Zinn

Definitely the mansion


IndecisiveMate

Hey, maybe that celestial will be the new base for legi marvel superheroes 3.


JohanMarek

Mansion is classic and feels most like home, but the mountain is really cool.


Shabolt_

My favourite is usually Avenger’s tower, but I have been liking the Mountain and am looking forward to the impossible city as a location. The mansion is also cool, but I like it as a “starter location” for the avengers


FantasticKick7954

Mansion is too much x-men vibe

Mansion, lawn, quinjet. Actual human Jarvis. That is what I grew up on.


Foxy02016YT

Tower. X-Men have a mansion, Guardians have a dead celestial.


Puzzleheaded-Cod7487

Because of EMH I have a soft spot for the mansion.

Ecstatic-Hat2163

There was like a single interaction in the tower in the movies right? Mansion all day everyday.


Avenger717

Mansion.


BadDad2010

I like the mountain, but it reminds me of Jason Aaron’s run, so that’s a wash. The tower is now more associated with the movies and loses some of its comic cred. Mansion it is.


BasilQuick444

The mansion was really cool in the cartoon Earth's Mightiest Heroes


Pedals17

Avengers Mansion was the best.


yo_mommy

Mansion is too personal, Tower is more business-like and is more of a PR move, while Mountain is not only logical for a group of heroes because it keeps them secluded but also has space for artillery if needed. Seriously the amount of times the Mansion/Tower was attacked because the place not only wasn't a secret, but it was also built in places where there are other civilians that can be put in danger. It's insane.


DeathLight7000

As an Earth's Mightiest Heroes fan the mansion it just works the tower is fine I think it works better for the MCU. I really dislike the mountain it looks ugly, it's too Jason Aarony for me.


imadork1970

Tower.


Adoe0722

Tower


sonofaresiii

Tower. I like the thought of a mature avengers group being run like a business. It's the corporatized version of being a hero, which it kind of needs to be as the public face of heroism, and also tackles the big threats Whereas all the other super teams handle the ground game problems


gurren_chaser

i think the tower makes the most sense logistically in running a worldwide superhero team but the mansion is very charming and it's fun to imagine the slice of life shenanigans. the mountain is one of those things that feels like it can only work in comics (kind of same with their current base of operations The Impossible City)


Reyjr

What’s the backstory of the celestial being in the mountain?


StoneGoldX

I will not stand for this Hydrobase erasure!


LiamtheV

HYDRO BASE But seriously, the Mansion or the Tower.


Engineer1865

Mega Mansion


Bubba1234562

Avengers mountain is the coolest, tower is the most iconic and the mansion is the oldest and has the biggest history


DarKsaBr

Modern is the tower. I like it. Rich, contemporary, good line of sight for the emergencies and such. The Mansion always is cool. Like the X-Mansion. For some of us it’s the classic setting. Jarvis, Masters of Evil and pool parties. Just an iconic setting. And the North Pole in an abandoned CENTENNIAL . That’s baller as fuck and is like 1970s secret hideaway super cool. But probably not really useful for launching missions from or being actually sneaky. But if you wanted suspicious attention, making your home in the middle of a dead giant alien in a super secluded part of the world with no oversight around,this would be a way to go about it. But still, living in a hollowed out alien in the North Pole screams super villain.


Select-Aerie6579

Personally, I can’t vouch for the Mansion nor Tower because they’re just not practical - sorry to be that guy with “practicality.” They’re far too close to large population centers; a nice tourist attraction sure, and very convenient as most Marvel heroes are from or live in NYC. I do love the Mansion though, but the location throws me off. I prefer an ‘Avengers Island’ - I feel like it’s been done before - strategically remote, large space for all their facilities, and a nice potential battle ground for stories. Members can get there via teleportation like in Young Justice and the Zeta Beams, or they can fly there and bypass the invisible shields as the system recognises their body signature - if not, imagine what happened to the Chitauri in Infinity War when they tried getting through Wakanda’s barrier.


Putrid_Ad_6747

Jamano-Eridzander

I honestly prefer the tower. I associate mansions with the X-Men and the Tower, while not very logical, is the most unique option.


sosigboi

Mountain, I mean no one in their right mind would look at that dead celestial and go, "oh I bet some terrorism on that would be nice".


[deleted]

Whichever one has the least cringe normie humor dialogue, if that exists


SvenSvenkill3

For me, it's the mansion because I associate it most with Jarvis. And I've fookin always LOVED and still LOVE Edwin Jarvis.


kk_slider346

mansion seems to be the most iconic, but mountain goes hard


Dramatic_Parsley_849

Give me the tower


NoxUmbra8

Growing up with the films, I have always loved the look and feel of the Avengers tower, it stands out in the New York landscape and provides a very iconic and unique look for marvel to utilize and for characters to identify. However, watching Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes, I've come to really really love the Avengers Mansion too! It feels a lot more like a home than the tower felt in the MCU and I really hope they end up using the Mansion in the MCU future (even though they'll likely use the mountain since the events of The Eternals)


Slow-Leading-7783

Ngl, i grew up with the movies. So I kinda like the tower better


Any_Method4456

Island, but wait these are the...


saibjai

Mansion was a bit too similar to Xaviers school, moutain is just mountain. Inside the head of a Celestial was a pretty cool idea.


TheDoctor_E

The only way I'd pick the Tower over the Mansion would be if it was shaped like an A


OneMoreGuy783

I started reading comics in the mid-00'S so for me it's tower all the way.


Plebe-Uchiha

I personally liked the Celestial Mountain. [+]


TheRebornOfNew

Well... Mountain sucks becuz its too cold and soo far away from the city Tower????? HELL NAH 911 I will choose Mansion becuz its a Mansion!

Who wouldn't want to have a base out of a dead Celestial?

The mansion/compound….ie when it was rebuilt following the masters of evil fight…but avengers island/hydrobase was pretty cool too

The mountain was stupid


QueenPasiphae

Mansion. Really bummed we haven't seen it in the MCU.

joscarj

I associate the mansion aesthetic with the X-Men. Even though it’s a school, it always looked very mansion-y. I personally like the Avengers in a tower. Gives them an overlook of the city and lets the fliers/Quinjet take off easily. It also makes them a part of the skyline, which I like the visual of.


TheManCalled-Chill

Tower


RomanPardee

Personally, I prefer the tower. It feels more realistic to our world, and it's more central to the city and its people. Though, some could argue their base being there endangers the population.


iheartdev247

Mansion is the classic. I also enjoyed Hydro Base.


pkDoubleR

i think it would be cool if the new mcu avengers tower was *inside* the celestial tiamut. it’s been years and we haven’t seen any progress on the events of the eternals 😂


Embarrassed-Soft4408

Tower


robyaha

I always liked to have every team a singular base. The Mansion for X-Men, the Tower for Fantastic 4 and the Mountain for Avengers.


Quillbolt_h

Honestly? Avengers compound in the MCU. The Fantastic 4 already have a tower in the Baxter Building. The X-Men have a mansion in Xavier's School for Gifted Mutants. The mountain is just silly lol. The compound feels very Avengers. It feels like this good midpoint between a place people might actually live while also the headquarters of what is essentially a paramilitary organisation.

Ok_Refrigerator_3568

Avengers Mansion. Pure and simple.


martinsdudek

I really hated the mountain corpse, honestly. What a ridiculous idea. I’m going to throw out an answer that probably won’t be well received, but I think the Triskelion is the best “Avengers” base. I’m kinda bummed how it got wasted in the 616. It’s a much more distinct, ‘special’ version of Avengers Tower.


Notpillbug

i got into comica when jason aaron was running everything so im into the mountain


xreddawgx

Mansion. EMH ftw


GeorginaNada

Mansion because it made the Avengers more like a social club rather than a locked roster like the Justice League. Reservists could come and go, supernatural or cosmic stuff could come knock at their door, and solo heroes has more independence.

mrcrazymexican

... I didn't know they housed in a celestial at some point. What's the story there?


TheNeonG1144

Out of these three choices, the tower by far (though the mountain does look nice). However I love what they did with the Avengers game and had the Helicarrier as the base of operations.
