Biography[]

X-Men[]

Jubilee, along with Kitty Pryde and a few other students were being taught by Charles Xavier when Wolverine found his way into Xavier's office.

Later, Jubilee attended Storm's lesson, in which she answered a question about the Roman Empire. She wrote notes while Rogue and Bobby Drake spoke to each other, and asked Rogue about Wolverine's mutation. When Rogue took Wolverine's powers on accident after waking him up during a nightmare, Jubilee was one of the teens that rushed to the scene to witness the incident.

X2[]

Jubilee attended a school trip to the Natural History Museum, where she read about evolution. This forced her to consider her own situation as a mutant causing her to unconsciously activate her powers. Professor Munroe called her and she rejoined the rest of the group.

She was among the students kidnapped from the X-Mansion by William Stryker's men and taken to Weapon X's base at Alkali Lake. She and the other students were later rescued by Nightcrawler.

After the incident at Alkali Lake, Jubilee returned to attending Xavier's Institute as a student. Noticing that Charles Xavier was saddened due to Jean Grey's sacrifice, she kindly asked him if everything was alright.

X-Men: The Last Stand[]

Jubilee returned to school in the X-Mansion after the Alkali Lake incident. She attended Professor X's funeral and came back to school when Storm reopened it after the hiatus during Alcatraz battle.

X-Men: Days of Future Past[]

When old Xavier meets with young Xavier, he shows his younger self a vision of students that he will possibly have in the future. Jubilee is seen in this moment, walking into Xavier's classroom. She is wearing her green jacket, blue jeans, ponytail and hoop earrings.

Character traits[]

Jubilee is an intelligent, compassionate and fashionable student of Xavier's in all of her movie appearances. She is the first to raise her hand when a question is asked, and cares enough to show concern for her mentors when they are in distress. As seen in the Natural History Museum in X2, Jubilee seems to consider the mutant race as a natural evolution of homo sapiens sapiens.

Behind the scenes[]

Jubilee was originally going to appear in X-Men: Days of Future Past but her character was cut. The concept art was based on actress Jamie Chung's likeness.
- Jubilee technically appears in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Jubilee's scene from the end of X2 is re-used. Kea Wong's version of the character can be seen for roughly two seconds walking into Xavier's classroom in the vision.
- Storyboards for X-Men: Days of Future Past show Jubilee battling a sentinel with her pyrotechnic powers before being killed from an energy blast.

Trivia[]

Jubilee's powers seem to be quite different from the comics version's, since she's seen projecting electric charges from her hands instead of her trademarks "fireworks" and this is only seen in a deleted scene.
Although a major character in the X-Men animated series, she was reduced to a cameo in the X-Men movie trilogy.
Rogue's relationship with Wolverine in the movies is the same he and Jubilee share in the comics.
