Codename:
None
Real name: Jubilation
Lee (Jubilee)
Past: 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 Psylocke
in a new Asian ninja's body. The Mandarin, who had purchased Psylocke's
services from 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 joined 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 Monet, 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
was 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 Synch 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.
