Fictional character biography

Jubilation Lee is a Chinese American girl born in Beverly Hills, California, where she lived with her wealthy immigrant parents. An immensely talented gymnast, she was believed to have the potential to participate in the Olympic Games.

Jubilee was sent to an orphanage, but she ran away and hid in a Hollywood shopping mall, stealing food to survive. She first discovered her mutant power to generate blinding and explosive energy "fireworks" while running away from mall security. The stress of running away from the security guards caused Jubilee to emit a large light energy blast while in a back alley. This completely disoriented the men and allowed the frightened young girl to escape. Upon learning about her mutant ability to create fireworks, she realized she could earn money by using her powers to entertain customers in the mall. // The first orphanages, called orphanotrophia, were founded in the 1st century amid various alternative means of orphan support. ...


Frustrated with the young girl's rebellious nature and powerful lightshows, the mall security hired mutant hunters known as the M-Squad to capture her. Jubilee held her own by blasting the M-Squad's energy tractor beams, but she was eventually caught by them. She was rescued by X-Men members Dazzler, Psylocke, Rogue, and Storm, who happened to be shopping at the mall. Curious, she tracked them for a while and later followed them into a portal.

She found herself in the X-Men's temporary base, deep in the Australian outback. She stayed in hiding until the X-Men had abandoned the base, and their enemies the Reavers had captured Wolverine. While she was living in the underground base, the mutant known as Gateway, who created the portal to the Hollywood mall, was the only being aware of Jubilee's existence. During her stay in the base she stole food and borrowed clothes from several of the X-Men to create a makeshift costume for herself. The X-Man Peter Rasputin notices evidence of her food gathering but is distracted by the attack of Nanny. Jubilee personally battles Nanny. She finds that her energy powers nuetralizes the brainwashing power-manfiestations Nanny emits. She was also attacked by a cybernetic dog, and was forced to use her powers in self-defense by blowing up the beast. This was the first time Jubilee learned her powers could do real damage, although a later retcon had her first manifestation causing destruction on a similar scale.

While sneaking around the caverns in the outback base, Jubilee was startled and horrified to find Wolverine tied to an X-shaped cross, being tortured by the Reavers. The Reavers eventually cut the torture session short to seek shelter from a coming storm, leaving only Wolverine and Jubilee outside. Jubilee was torn between her desire to help Wolverine and her fear of what the Reavers might do to her if they caught her doing so. Thus Jubilee watched as, after the storm hit, Wolverine flew into one of his berserker rages and summoned enough strength to tear his arms (which had been nailed to the cross while he was being tortured) free before collapsing to the ground. Jubilee finally made the decision to risk helping Wolverine, and helped him back to her hiding spot in the complex, where she did her best to nurse him back to health (after being brutalized repeatedly by the Reavers, days of exposure to the harsh elements of the outback, and deprivation of food and water, Wolverine's healing factor had been taxed to its limit and thus was not able to quickly repair his body the way it normally would). Before Wolverine had completely recovered, the two were forced to abandon their sanctuary when the Reavers located them and attempted to capture them.

Afterward, Jubilee teamed up with Wolverine on several of his missions throughout the world. She did not handle the travel well, as she desired American food and luxuries. She helped Wolverine in battle when he became involved with well-intentioned but violent mercenaries.

Wolverine and the X-Men

Wolverine brought Jubilee to Professor Xavier, who welcomed the girl with open arms, and she and Wolverine developed a close father-daughter relationship with one another. Jubilee needed the guidance of a parent, while Wolverine needed the peace and joy of a child. Due to this relationship, Jubilee is referred to as Wolverine's unofficial sidekick. The duo teamed up to take down Sentinels, Omega Red, Sabertooth, Mojo (see Abcissa, Other Versions, below), and Sauron. They even confronted Reno and Molokai, who murdered Jubilee's parents. After the battle, Jubilee wants to kill them but Wolverine talked her out of it.

Jubilee found a home with the X-Men, and even joined the X-Men Blue Team. She aided her fellow mutants in battles against Mondo, the Shi'Ar Empire, Skrulls, and the Brood, among others. With the last three, she held her own against many powerful entities, often being the vital factor that helped save fellow X-Man and/or innocent people. She formed close bonds with many of the team members. She caught piggyback rides with Beast, enjoying his leaping abillities. When Professor Xavier temporarily regained the use of his legs, she took him rollerblading. She had the chance to talk about Wolverine with Shadowcat, who had been in her role before. She bonded with the younger version of Illyana Rasputin. Jubilee mourned the loss of Illyana with the rest of the X-Men, especially Jean Grey.

DC vs. Marvel

Main article: Marvel vs. DC

In the Marvel vs. DC storyline, Jubilee fought with the X-Men and other Marvel heroes against the heroes of the DC Comics world. Jubilee was caught in a fight against Tim Drake, aka Robin. The two however, were reluctant to fight, and after their match (which Robin won), became involved romantically. Because of this, the two were fused in the Amalgam Comics world as Sparrow, sidekick to Dark Claw. Jubilee vowed to remember Robin when the rift between the DC and Marvel worlds was finally closed. On DC/Marvel: All Access, with Access's aid, she finally reunited with the Boy Wonder.

Generation X

Feeling that she needed a rest from the stresses at the mansion, Jubilee volunteered to join a new group of teenage mutants known as Generation X.

Both Banshee and Emma Frost educated the teenagers in school subjects as well as combat and field skills. Jubilee and the other mutant teens honed their unique abilities and occasionally battled foes such as the Juggernaut, Omega Red, and their arch-rival Emplate. Time after time, Jubilee used her experience with the X-Men to help her teammates outsmart their enemies. On more than one occasion, Jubilee was solely responsible for the defeat of Emplate. She used her sarcasm when Emplate siphoned her powers so that he would become enraged enough to not have control over them, causing him to blast himself with Jubilee's energy blasts. During the team's last encounter with Emplate, Jubilee blew up Proudstar Hall in order to defeat him. Her teammates survived the massive explosion because Iceman covered them with an ice shield.

During her stay at the Massachusetts Academy, Jubilee was kidnapped and held hostage by Bastion during Operation: Zero Tolerance. She managed to resist his mental probes for a good amount of time, hiding valuable information about the X-Men. Jubilee staged an escape early on after being kidnapped, literally knocking several armed soldiers unconscious with a large plasma volley. Her innocence and morals led to her capture once more, as she decided to give CPR to one of the guards she injured. She eventually escaped with the help of Bastion's assistant Daria. While wandering the desert after her getaway, she was attacked by a Prime Sentinel and held her own by blasting his vision receptors. She was saved at the last minute by Wolverine, who took her back to the X-Men until she was comfortable enough to return to Generation X. Bastion is a Marvel Comics supervillain, a fusion of the Sentinels Master Mold and Nimrod. ...


One of the most important details of her stay with Generation X was when she discovered the true killer of her parents, Hunter Brawn. She staged a solo operation, using all of her powers, skills, and abilities to track down Brawn. With the help of her friends and teammates, she managed to take him down. Enraged at how he had destroyed her family, her powers flared to a massive level. Instead of killing the man, she took out her aggression and blew up his warehouse, leaving him to be arrested by local authorities.


After Generation X

After Generation X disbanded, Jubilee moved to L.A. with former teammate Skin (Angelo Espinosa) to pursue an acting career. She was unfortunately cast in stereotypical Asian roles, and after her agent tried to seduce her, she blasted him with a powerful plasma blast.


Around this time she was offered a position on Banshee's militaristic X-Corps team, alongside former teammates Husk and M. The three young women hesitantly joined Banshee in order to keep an eye on him. During her run with the X-Corps, Jubilee held off an uprising in Paris by blinding hostile enemies. Jubilee and Husk, with the help of Stacy X, also managed to take down the Blob and rescue Banshee from Mystique.


Jubilee returned to L.A. with Skin, but the two of them (along with Magma and other mutants) were kidnapped and crucified on the front lawn of the X-Mansion by the Church of Humanity. Jubilee, Magma, and the others recovered from the attack thanks to Angel's healing blood, but Skin wasn't so fortunate. Jubilee became slightly depressed due to the loss of her friend Skin and reunited with her friend Husk (Paige Guthrie). The two of them, along with Angel, attended Skin's funeral. Since the grave keeper wouldn't allow a mutant to be buried in his cemetery, he had Skin cremated and unemotionally handed Jubilee Skin's ashes. From then on, Jubilee went on a few missions with Nightcrawler and Havok's Uncanny team, but was taken off the active roster when Cyclops decided she needed a mental break. This article is about the comic character. ...


L.A. and Aunt Hope

Jubilee was contacted by a long lost relative, her aunt Hope. Hope decided to adopt Jubilee and take her into her home in Los Angeles, which gave Jubilation a much needed break from mansion life. Jubilee attended Payton Noble High School and became a peer advisor. She got into a few fights in school, and was reprimanded because of her power display. She also befriended a mutant named Shane Shooter, and helped him take down a gang leader. Unfortunately for Jubilee, her aunt was caught in a crime ring, as she was an assassin. While Wolverine was visiting Jubilee, the two of them, along with Hope (and her butler Brad), got into a battle with Hope's old boss. Hope was caught in a violent explosion and seemingly died, causing a distraught Jubilee to move back to the mansion with Wolverine.


Decimation

Jubilee, who had yet again left Xavier's for LA, was one of the massive number of mutants who lost their powers due to the reality-altering powers of the Scarlet Witch.[2] It was revealed that due to her power loss, Jubilee became involved in a liberal movement group while she lived in New York.[3] The Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe, a mutant who was introduced as a super-villainess before reforming and becoming a superheroine early in her history. ...


Jubilee reappeared in a Los Angeles half-way house for depowered mutants.[4] Wolverine stumbled upon Jubilee while looking for his friend Maverick in New York. Jubilee was working at a facility for de-powered mutants. She helped some of the depowered mutants escape to safety, but she was kidnapped by Omega Red and his henchmen, as Wolverine was sidetracked during the battle.

Wolverine managed to use S.H.I.E.L.D. as a distraction in finding Omega Red and Jubilee, but found that she was gravely injured with a spike through her chest. The 'Savior' arc ends with Wolverine trading his freedom from S.H.I.E.L.D. for Jubilee's safety and well-being. She was last seen being carried away in a medical unit by S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives, and was most likely under their watch and medical supervision[5]. S.H.I.E.L.D. (originally an acronym for Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division, changed in 1991 to Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage and Logistics Directorate) is a fictional counterterrorism and intelligence agency in the Marvel Universe that often deals with superhuman threats. ...

New Warriors

Jubilee is currently appearing in New Warriors (vol. 4) under the guise of Wondra.[6] Wondra is shown to have superhuman strength (derived from a power suit) capable of lifting a freight train over her head.[7] Apparently acting as Night Thrasher's second-in-command, Wondra organizes and directs training sessions in the reconverted Murderworld simulation, as well as leading patrols throughout New York City.

Powers and abilities

Jubilee had the mutant power to generate bright bursts of energy plasmoids from her fingertips. She referred to these globules as fireworks. The globules obeyed her mental control, traveling where she directed them, arranging themselves in balls, streamers, and other shapes, and exploding when she wished. The strength of the energy could range from a multitude of colorful sparkles capable of temporarily blinding a person to a powerful detonation capable of smashing objects and destroying property, or a precision burst inside a human's brain simulating the effects of a massive stroke. Jubilee could absorb the fireworks back into her own body without harm. A plasmoid is a coherent structure of plasma and magnetic fields. ...


A point of interest about Jubilee's powers is that she often referred to them as Pafs. Considering that the word 'Paf' appears in many instances as an onomatopoeia when drawn with her powers, it is believed to be the sound that her energy bursts create, much like Nightcrawler's Bamf noise. Look up onomatopoeia in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... This article is about a term in the Marvel Universe. ...


As referenced by Emma Frost while training in Generation X, Jubilee has the untapped potential to detonate matter at a sub-atomic level, which in theory is the equivalent of a fusion bomb. Her moral stance on taking a life was observed by Emma during the Phalanx Covenant when Jubilee explained her fear of killing someone should her powers ever flare up again as they did during the Acts of Vengeance storyline in Uncanny X-Men. Emma Frost stated that Jubilee had unlimited potential and was one of the most powerful mutants she had ever encountered.

Upon joining the post-Civil War New Warriors team, Jubilee gained highly advanced technology from Night Thrasher to replace her mutant abilities, giving her superhuman strength. While the upper limits of this power have not yet been explored, Jubilee (as Wondra) can lift the engine of a freight train over her head.


In her early appearances, Jubilee also displayed an apparent immunity to telepathy, but this was soon forgotten. She had on occasion used this ability to hide herself from telepathic scans and probes from Sentinels. Whether or not she knew of this ability has yet to be determined.


Jubilee is a talented gymnast, and while living rough she used her skills to evade capture while stealing to survive, first from the various shops in the mall and later in the X-Men's Australian base. She has also displayed above average hand-to-hand combat skills, sufficient to survive combat with the Hand. She has also been shown to have strong leadership abilities, often been placed in a field commander role by Banshee during her closing time with Generation X, and acting as a drill-sergeant figure for the most recent New Warriors team. The Hand is a group of fictional supervillains in the Marvel Comics universe. ...

Abcissa

In one alternate timeline, Mojo tried to stop the Big Crunch, the end of time and collapse of all matter which would start a new Big Bang. Jubilee told him to stop, and she would be his slave. Giving her the new name Abcissa, her powers would be altered to animate and control the many chains that were attached to her body. Abcissa and Mojo kidnapped Jubilee, taking her to the Crunch, so she would become Mojo's slave. Jubilee refused, which nullified Abcissa's existence.

In other media

Television

Jubilee starred in the X-Men animated series.
  • In the 1992 X-Men animated television series, Jubilee was voiced by Alyson Court. Jubilee was a main character of the original animated series, and starred in almost all of the episodes throughout the many seasons it aired. She also retained her surrogate daughter/father relationship with Wolverine who was still shown to dote on her in his own gruff way; in one episode, Logan was even shown teaching Jubilee how to drive.
  • In the 1996 television film Generation X, the character was portrayed by Heather McComb, who is Caucasian, not Chinese.

  • Rumor has it that the arcade game had several hacked versions back in the 90's at local arcades, in which Jubilee, Gambit, and Psylocke were playable characters that replaced Dazzler, Colossus, and Nightcrawler.[citation needed]
  • She was also supposed to be a playable character in two other X-Men games in the past, but these games were cancelled before being released world-wide. One of the games was called X-Women for Sega Genesis, and featured Storm, Rogue, Jean, and Jubilee as playable characters. The other game was a PC title, in which Jubilee was dressed in her Generation X gear.
  • Most recently, Jubilee appears as a playable character in the video game X-Men Legends, and is voiced by Danica McKellar from the show The Wonder Years. In X-Men Legends, Jubilee is unlocked early on in the game by talking to her at the X-Mansion. The character's back story and personality in the game are very true to her comics counterpart. Her moves are represented fairly well, except for a taunt ability that was thrown in, and a basic set of melee strikes that doesn't incorporate her gymnastic abilities whatsoever.To her credit she had the highest potential damage output in the game thanks to her passive skills and equipment which added full damage bonus to each "Paf" that she fires essentially getting up to 7 times the damage of other characters. According to the creators, she did not appear in the sequel because "It's not that we don't like her, it's just we don't need her"[citation needed]
