The Avengers had many bases, especially after Tony completed the Sentinel Program.
That was right-the Sentinel Program in this world had not been implemented by Bolivar.
It had been implemented by Iron Man, Tony Stark.
Every Sentinel had been manufactured by Tony Stark.
And every Avengers base still in existence had been built with Tony's money alone.
