Jubilee

__** Jubilation Lee / “Jubilee” **__



__**History **__

Born the daughter of prosperous Chinese immigrants, young Jubilation "Jubilee" Lee was sent to an exclusive Beverly Hills school, where her talent for gymnastics was discovered. Jubilee spent much of her time rollerblading with friends at the local mall, but ultimately ran afoul of mall security. Facing juvenile detention if caught, Jubilee panicked and first manifested her mutant ability to generate explosive energy. Soon after, her parents were mistakenly killed by hitmen. Jubilee fled to the only home she had left - the mall. She survived as a petty thief and street performer, but mall security eventually tired of her eluding capture and called in a team of novice mutant hunters, the M-Squad. That same day, the mall was visited by the female members of the X-Men. When the M-Squad attacked Jubilee, the X-Men came to her aid and then left via a portal created by Gateway. Intrigued, Jubilee followed them through and arrived at the X-Men's base in outback Australia. She lived in the tunnels beneath the town until the X-Men disbanded, after which their former member Wolverine returned to the town and was ambushed by the cyborg Reavers, who crucified him. Jubilee helped him to escape and stayed by his side while he recovered from his ordeal, forming a close bond. After rescuing another former X-Man, Psylocke, from the Mandarin's control in Madripoor, the trio traveled to Genosha to aid in opposing Cameron Hodge. Jubilee accompanied them back to the U.S., where she joined a reformed X-Men. Eventually, Jubilee learned the truth about her parents' deaths and managed to exact revenge on the assassins, though she stopped short of killing them.

Jubilee then joined the Generation X training team that was formed by Professor Xavier. As one of the founding members, Jubilee learned to further control her explosive powers and improve upon her field leadership skills. During her stay with Generation X, Jubilee managed to aid her teammates in battles against Emplate, Sentinels, and the Juggernaut, among others. During Operation: Zero Tolerance, Bastion captured Jubilation Lee in order to get information on the X-Men. She resisted his mental probes for a considerable amount of time and also made a few escape attempts. After triggering a switch that freed the captured X-Men, she befriended Bastion's assistant, Daria, who helped her escape successfully. Jubilee was then confronted by a Prime Sentinel in the desert, but defeated it with the help of Wolverine who tracked her scent. She stayed with the X-Men for a brief stint, and then returned to her Generation X teammates. While training at the Massachusetts Academy, Jubilee discovered that Hunter Brawn was behind the death of her parents. Outraged, she took justice into her own hands and ended up throwing him in jail.

After Generation X disbanded, Jubilee returned home to try an acting career, which was ultimately short-lived due to an unscrupulous agent exploiting her. Jubilee then briefly joined her former headmaster Banshee's paramilitary X-Corps. After that team was dissolved, Jubilee was one of several mutants captured by the mutant-hating Church of Humanity, who crucified them on the grounds of the Xavier Institute. Jubilee was one of the few to survive, thanks to the X-Man Archangel's newfound healing ability, and she rejoined the X-Men, adventuring with them against the threat of Nightcrawler's father, Azazel.


 * School’s Out / High School Never Ends **

When Cyclops and Emma Frost took on the shared duty of headmaster of the Institute, the X-Men were restructured into three teams, and Jubilee was taken off the active roster. She went home to live with her Aunt Hope and returned to school, becoming a student counselor.


 * Welcome to Paradise / Hotel California **

When Jessica is depowered due to Hope, she feels she must leave the mutant school. Dane puts out a call for a substitute teacher in the mutant community. Jubilee is one of the few to respond. She is given the job, though her bubbly demeanor rubs some of the Academy X staff the wrong way. When Cameron’s Weapon X brainwashing is activated, Jubilee is the one who finally knocks him out. Later a group of Academy X sophomores mistakenly free Cassandra Nova from her prison. Nova takes over Jubilee’s body and flees.


 * My Generation / Children’s Crusade **

Cassandra Nova, in Jubilee’s body, is on the run from the Asgardian God of Vengeance, Vidarr. Vidarr had shared a body with one of the sophomores at Academy X that Nova killed. Vidarr is able to weaken Nova, but Nova escapes before he can kill her. Since Vidarr is needed during the Siege event, he asks the eXalts to help finish Nova. In the meantime, Nova becomes allies with a super-powered group in Los Angeles – the Runaways! The eXalts find Nova and the Runaways and there is a great battle. Nova jumps into another body, leaving Jubilee unconscious. Nova is later sent to Limbo.

When Jubilee finally recovers, she’s more than willing to assist the eXalts after months of being trapped in her own body. She helps the eXalts raid the Purifiers’ headquarters. Then, when the Purifiers strike, Jubilee joins the team that stops them. During the battle, however, she is hit with a Hope round and loses her mutant powers.


 * Valley of Lost Souls / Empire of the Damned **

When Samantha leaves her teaching position for maternity leave, Jubilee is hired for the position. Jubilee begins a relationship with the other new staff member at the school – William “Mac” McAllister. Over the course of the semester they become close. As Sam’s maternity leave nears an end, Jubilee begins looking for work in San Francisco. She gets an apartment in the city with Agape, an Academy X graduate and friend.


 * Bloodlines / Live Forever **

While helping Meghan shop for maternity clothes, Jubilee is kidnapped by vampires! The eXalts search for her, but they’re too late: she’s turned into one of them. When the eXalts rescue her from an underground lair, she reveals her new undead nature when she feeds from Mustang after he frees her. She is subdued and brought back to the school with a wooden stake in her heart, immobilizing her. When Samantha tries to read her memories, she accidentally activates a trigger that wipes Jubilee’s memories of when she was a vampire.

Later, when Mystique sneaks into Academy X to visit her grandchildren, she unstakes Jubilee as part of a distraction. Jubilee gets the jump on X-23 and turns her into a vampire. Jubilee then attacks Mac. When Mac puts her into a chokehold, she regains her senses and goes limp. She apologizes to him, but the team is forced to stake her once more.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When Jessica and Santo are kidnapped by vampires, one of the vampires demands they exchange Jubilee for those they kidnapped or they’ll turn Jess into a vampire. When the staff discusses turning over Jubilee, Billy gets upset and runs off with her. After Jessica and Santo are freed, he returns Jubilee to the school.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Doctor Strange eventually creates a “safe room” for Jubilee. It’s a room where she won’t be able to escape. She’ll be able to live there, unstaked, and hopefully find a way to fight the murderous impulses that come with being a vampire.

__**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Powers and Abilities **__

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Vampirism**: Jubilee was bitten and sired by Xarus. She is currently a vampire with full vampiric powers, including:

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Superhuman Strength//: Like all vampires, Jubilee now possesses superhuman strength. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Superhuman Speed//: Like all vampires, Jubilee is capable of running and moving at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Superhuman Stamina//: Jubilee's body is more resistant to the fatigue toxins generated by her muscles during physical activity. Her body is also tougher than a normal human’s. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Superhuman Agility//: Jubilee's ability, balance, and body coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural limits of the human body. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Superhuman Reflexes//: Jubilee's natural reaction time is enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural limits of the human body. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Fangs//: Like all vampires, Jubilee has fangs. She can use these fangs to feed on others. The wounds must heal normally. Feeding leaves her victims drained physically. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Blood Powers//: Jubilee can use her vampirc blood to boost her physical abilities, heal herself, bond others to her, and turn people into vampires. //Immunities//: Jubilee has all the immunities of vampires: no need to eat, drink, breathe, immune to most bodily effects, etc. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Shapeshifting//: Jubilee can shape shift into an ice storm. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Emotion Control//: Jubilee has shown the ability to affect the emotions of others (to make them love her).

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Gymnastics / Combat//: Jubilee qualified for the Olympic Games in gymnastis before her parents were murdered. She is also a good hand to hand combatant, having received some training from Wolverine. She also seems to have the makings of a good leader.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Former Powers **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">: Jubile was a mutant with the ability to create energy plasmoids.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Energy Plasmoids// (formerly): Jubilee possessed the mutant ability to generate what she called “fireworks” – energy globules that varied in degrees of power and intensity. The globules obeyed her mental control, traveling where she directed them, arranging themselves in balls, streamers, and other shapes, and exploding when she wished. These combinations could result in anything from a multitude of colorful sparkles capable of temporarily blinding a person to a fairly powerful detonation, capable of smashing tree trunks or metal objects. Jubilee could absorb the fireworks back into her own body without harm. According to Emma Frost, she had the potential to detonate matter at a sub-atomic level.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Weaknesses **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">: Jubilee has a number of weaknesses, most from her vampiric condition.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Dyscalculia//: Jubilee suffers from this condition.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Vampire Weaknesses//: Jubilee has the traditional weaknesses of a vampire, including: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Silver Allergy//: Jubilee is highly allergic to silver and can be severely injured, or killed, with silver weaponry. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Direct Sunlight Exposure//: Jubilee can be quickly killed by direct sunlight, much like other vampires. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">//Death//: It is presumed that, like other vampires, Jubilee could be killed by being decapitated or being exposed to fire.
