 SECOND
FLOOR
Private quarters for any Avenger who requests them comprise the
entire second floor of the mansion. Unlike the third floor which was completely
gutted to make room for the hangar facility, the second floor closely resembled
the original floor plan and architecture designed and constructed by Howard Stark.
While many members of the Avengers maintain residences outside the mansion, many
members over the years have lived at the mansion full-time during their term of
active membership. When space was available, a member such as the Wasp, who had
a residence elsewhere, could use one of the bedrooms as a Manhattan apartment.
At only one time in Avengers history were all eight bedrooms occupied. Usually
at least half of the rooms remain vacant. Since the Avengers' inception, there
has always been at least one Avenger living full time at the mansion. The following
Avengers are the only ones never to have resided at Avengers Mansion: Thor, Iron
Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Moondragon, Hellcat, Ms. Marvel, Falcon, and Captain Marvel.
Anthony Stark's quarters, used infrequently by the Avengers' benefactor and never
as his alter ego Iron Man, are still reserved for Stark's exclusive use.
