History:  Jubilation Lee's parent were prosperous Chinese immigrants.  As a result, Jubilee led a fairly charmed childhood, attending an exclusive school and becoming a talented gymnast.  One weekend her parents lost all their money in a stock market crash.  On the same weekend, her parents were also mistaken for their neighbours, and killed by hit men.
    Without money or a home, Jubilee was sent to Juvenile Hall, where she learned to defend herself and developed a rebellious attitude to authority.  She was arranged to be moved to another orphanage, and fearing that she would eventually be sent to live wit her only relatives (who were in Communist China) she ran away.
    Initially she got by as a petty thief, stealing what she needed to survive.  She was eventually trapped by mall security, and in her panic and fear, manifested her mutant powers for the first time.  Energy shot from her hands, blinding the guards and allowing her to make her escape.  Jubilee then began to earn a living by using her "fireworks" to entertain crowds in the mall.
    Mall security contacted the novice mutant hunters the M Squad in an attempt to capture Jubilee.  Several members of the X-Men (Storm, Rogue, Dazzler and Psylocke) were in the mall that day, and followed M Squad in their attempts to capture Jubilee.  Jubilee was fascinated by these women, and followed them until they exited through a teleportation portal made by Gateway.  Just before the portal closed, Jubilee jumped through and found herself before Gateway.  He welcomed her, although he had never spoken before, and led her to a tunnel where the Reavers (a band of criminal cyborgs) had kept their bounty.  He pushed Jubilee into it, and she made a home for herself there.
    Although she wanted to make herself known to the X-Men, she did not fully trust anyone yet, so she watched them from her hiding place.
    She finally emerged after the X-Men had left the base, and the Reavers had returned.  Wolverine had been captured and crucified by the Reavers, and after freeing himself, Jubilee helped him to escape.  The two accompanied each other through Asia in the following months, where Wolverine became something of a father figure to Jubilee.
    Jubilee and Professor X met when they were both captured by the Warskrulls.  After beng rescued by the X-Men, she became a full member of the team.  She often accompanied Wolverine on his solo missions.
    After the defeat of the Phalanx race by the X-Men, Xavier decided to create a new team for the next generation of mutants.  Husk, M, Synch and Skin became the founding members of Generation X.  Jubilee was also assigned to this team as she was same age.  Jubilee was upset by this, seeing it as a demotion.
    However, Jubilee quickly slotted into the team, and has come to love and trust the members of her new team as if they were her family.
