Jubilee is an ex-mallrat valley girl whose life was changed forever when her parents were murdered. Most girls practically lived at the mall. Jubilee actually did. She showed off her powers for money and stole to survive, until the comically inept M-squad managed to catch her. She was rescued by the female compliment of the X-Men, and followed them (secretly) through a teleport gate created by the mutant aborigine Gateway. She lived for a time in some caves near the X-Mansion, stealing food and clothing from the X-Men (her trademark yellow jacket was stolen from Dazzler). She came out of hiding when she noticed Wolverine nailed to a cross by the Reavers. She took him down and helped him to her little cave, figuring he'd at least die free. To her surprise, he healed, and she learned he was a mutant, and thereby warmed up to him. Since then they have had a father/daughter-like relationship. Jubilee is the only person who can claim to have been Wolverine's sidekick (Robin to his Batman).
Jubilee met Professor Xavier for the first time when both were captives of the Warskrulls, and she was made a provisional member of the X-Men. She served on the Blue team with Wolverine and others for a while until the Phalanx Covenant, where she was instrumental in rescuing the next generation of mutants. She moved to the Massachusetts Academy to continue her education as part of Generation X.
Jubilee led the raid on the House of Correction, a major milestone showing the writers taking her seriously for the first time in a long time. It also showed her potential as a budding tactician. However, two story-arcs later, the Massachusetts Academy was shut down due to various factors. #1. Sean Cassidy, co-headmaster of the school, had discovered that Moira MacTaggert had died, and was not taking it well (ie, he was drinking like a fish and treating the students poorly). #2. Ms. Frost seemed to be reverting to her evil bitch mode. #3. Jonothon Starsmore/Chamber had been accepted to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, thus leaving Skin the only male in the group (Everett had died due to some bombs set by Adrienne Frost, and Penance, Artie and Leech had been sent to stay with Ambassador St. Croix due to some anti-mutant hysteria gripping the non-mutant students at Mass. Ac.). Jubilee led the exodus, announcing plans to go to L.A. and sort things out with herself. Paige Guthrie, aka Husk, decided to go to Canada and help out some environmental protestors. Monet St. Croix decided to go back to Algeria. Skin asked to go with Jubilee, and so they were going to drive up there together.
Well, it's been a while since I've bought any Marvel Comics, but it seems Jubilee, Husk and M now serve in X-Corps as Sean's Angels. Don't even get me started on the dirty fictions THAT conjures up!
