JUBILEE

Name:

Jubilation Lee

Powers:

Jubilee generates plasma "pafs" that explode on command. Most of the time they are small, but when she's stressed or scared, she can cause major damage. She has the unrealized potential to detonate matter on a molecular scale. When Jubilee was suddenly orphaned, she ended up spending most of her time in an L.A. mall. One day, when the ladies of the X-Men went shopping, and ended up fighting the goofy M Squad, Jubilee was fascinated by them, and followed them through Gateway's return portal. She hid out in their Australian base for a while, but was never discovered. When the surviving X-Men went into the Siege Perilous, Jubilee was left alone until Wolverine returned and was captured and crucified by the Reavers. During the night, Jubilee was contemplating helping Logan when he ripped himself off of the crossed beams. Wolverine saw Jubilee, and then collapsed onto her from loss of blood. She helped him through the compound's tunnels, and managed to severely damage one of Pierce's bionic dogs. Logan finished off the rest, but collapsed, and Jubes was able to get them to Gateway, who teleported them to Madripoor. In Madripoor, Jubilee and Logan prepared to recouperate, but were soon attacked by Lady Mandarin, who turned out to be a brainwashed The Hand, had Jubilee dressed in traditional Chinese clothing and planned to re-educate her to serve him as part of his army of mutants. Fortunately, when Psylocke used her psychic abilities on Wolverine, his psychosis (the result of the trauma of crucifixion and dehydration) knocked her out of her brainwashing, and the three mutants defeated the Mandarin and escaped. Eventually, the trio found out that the X-Men had been captured and taken to Genosha for trial. They followed to the island, but Logan and Betsy were captured. Jubilee met up with Rictor and Boom Boom, who had escaped, and helped them avoid the Magistrates. After the X-Men defeated the Genoshans and returned home, Jubilee became an unofficial member of the X-Men. She was usually not assigned to missions, but came along either because she was captured or because everyone else was going too. She remained a member of the team until the Phalanx took over the Mansion and captured some neo-mutants in order to research ways to assimilate mutants. The Phalanx imprisoned Jubilee in the Danger Room, but she was freed by Sabretooth on Banshee orders. Jubes then joind the two of them and Emma Frost in locating Everett Thomas, and then in helping to free the other new mutants from the Phalanx. After that incident, Jubilee transferred to the Massachussetts Academy, which had become the new School for Gifted Youngsters, and joined Generation X. She immediately found herself at odds with M, and annoyed almost all her fellow students with numerous "When I was with the X-Men..." opinions. Jubilee is closest to Synch, but he doesn't seem to reciprocate her deeper feelings. Recently, Jubilee discovered that her parents' murders were ordered by Hunter Brawn, a wealthy financier whose grandson Tristan is a student at the Academy. She went on a solo rampage to accumulate evidence and take Brawn down. Luckily, the rest of her temamates caught up with her before she faced Brawn, but Banshee let her lead the mission. She ended up facing down Brawn, but didn't kill him, as Sunch and Husk thought she might. During the fight, Jubes had the others protect the only witness from Brawn's men, and with the testimony the witness gave, Brawn was arrested and sent to jail.
