Biography
Student at X-Mansion
Rogue, Jubilee and Kitty Pryde
Jubilee was in one of Xavier's classes when Wolverine first found his way through the mansion to meet Xavier.

She then has a brief conversation with Rogue and Shadowcat in regards to Wolverine's mutation.
Jubilee with Cypher, Artie Maddicks and other classmates.
Jubilee was one of the students kidnapped by William Stryker when he raided the X-Mansion. After being taken to Stryker's military base at Alkali Lake, Jubilee was among the many mutants to be affected by Professor X's telepathic attack through Cerebro. Through Magneto and Mystique's intervention, however, she survived and - along with her classmates - was rescued by the X-Men before the base was flooded.
In 2006, Jubilee attended another one of Xavier's classes and was also later present at his funeral.
Personality
Jubilee is an eager and dedicated student.
Powers
- Energy Plasmids/Lumikinetic Explosive Lightblasts: Jubilee possesses the mutant ability to generate what she calls "planning fireworks", or "luminokinetic explosive lightblasts": globules of energy that vary in degrees of power and intensity. The globules obey her mental control, traveling where she directs them, arranging themselves into balls, streamers, and other shapes, and exploding at will. These combinations can result in anything from a combination of colorful flashes capable of temporarily blinding a person to a very powerful detonation capable of crushing tree trunks or metal objects. Jubilee can absorb the fireworks back into her own body without impairment. According to Emma Frost, she has the potential to detonate matter at a subatomic level.

Trivia
- In a deleted scene from X2, Jubilee is at the museum and her powers manifest in the form of blue lightning from her hands.
- Jubilee was originally going to appear as a future member of the X-Men in X-Men: Days of Future Past, but her character was cut out from the final script. She would have fought alongside her fellow mutants to fend off the sentinel army. The concept art was based off actress Jamie Chung's likeness.
- Jubilee technically does appear in 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's scene from the end of X2: X-Men United is re-used in this moment. Kea Wong's version of the character can be seen for roughly two seconds walking into Xavier's classroom in the vision. She is wearing her green jacket, blue jeans, ponytail, and hoop earrings from that movie. This would technically mean that Jubilee, in Xavier's future, survives the events of Days of Future Past. It also would mark her fourth appearance in the X-Men movies (albeit a flashback/memory sequence,) and would make five movie appearances, counting X-Men: Apocalypse.
