History: (Avengers VII#12 (fb) - BTS) - Once
the deceased Celestial Progenitor was converted into the Avengers'
newest headquarters, Avengers Mountain, the Avengers were able to
partially reanimate the Progenitor circulatory system's cosmic energy
to transform one of the Progenitor's ventricles into a
teleportation hub.
(Avengers VII#8) - As Dr. Strange was about to depart
Avengers Mountain, Black Panther showed him Avengers Mountain's global
teleporter and suggested making one of the teleportation points Dr.
Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum. Dr. Strange agreed to allow his Sanctum to
be one of the teleportation points on the condition that Black Panther
visit for dinner sometime.
(Avengers VII#11 - BTS) - When Russia's Ursa Major got irate during a meeting of international heroes and attacked Black Panther, Black Panther had the Avengers Mountain teleportation system transport Ursa Major from the meeting room to Siberia.
(Avengers VII#12) - Gorilla-Man was present in
Avengers Mountain when the teleportation chamber activated. Upon seeing
the alien Broo emerge, Gorilla-Man nearly attacked before Black Panther
assured Gorilla-Man that Broo was an invited guest. Black Panther then
informed Broo how the Avengers had been able to transform the deceased
Celestial's ventricle into a teleportation chamber, remarking that the
Avengers had yet to come up with a name for the teleportation chamber.
Excited, Broo suggested calling the hub the Circulator and Black
Panther agreed on the name.
(War of the Realms#2 - BTS) - After several Earth and Asgardian heroes were mystically teleported to Avengers Mountain alongside survivors of the Dark Elf Malekith's assault on New York, Black Panther informed the others that Avengers Mountain's Circulator teleportation systems were offline due to a previous situation affecting the Mountain's computer systems.
(Avengers VII#23) - She-Hulk and Thor arrived at
Avengers Mountain via the Circulator, only to find Captain America
warning them not to proceed further without proper protection from the
demon-possessed Avengers Mountain.
(Avengers VII#24 - BTS) - Once the alternate reality demon Cosmic Ghost Rider was exorcised from Avengers Mountain, Black Panther communicated with the other Avengers to confirm that Avengers Mountain's computer systems were coming back online and that he had the Circulator ready to teleport Cosmic Ghost Rider into the detention area if any Avengers had eyes on the demon.
(Strikeforce I#1 - BTS) - Investigating mystic
shape-shifters, Blade borrowed the Avengers Mountain teleportation
systems to travel to Indonesia with other heroes who had been
impersonated by the shape-shifters.
Comments: Created by Jason Aaron and David Marquez.
It's somewhat unclear how to determine the "creator" of
the Circulator, as it was originally a heart ventricle belonging to the
Celestial who, after dying, was utilized as Avengers Mountain.
Certainly, if one looks at who might've created the Celestial, the answer
would be unclear since we don't know the full origin of the
now-deceased Celestial. In terms of who converted the deceased
Celestial's ventricle into a teleportation device, that would be the
Avengers, if not Black Panther specifically.
