Jubilee (PG)

Jubilation Lee or Jubilee is the daughter of wealthy Chinese immigrants and is pushed into competitive gymnastics at an early age. In one fateful weekend, her parents lost their money in the stock market and were then mistaken for their neighbors (also named the Lees) and killed by two hit-men. This all happened while Jubilee was out with a friend of the family. She was then sent to an orphanage, but ran away and hid in a Hollywood, (She grew up in Beverly Hills, California), shopping mall, stealing food to survive. Jubilee first discovered her mutant power, to generate blinding and explosive energy "fireworks", while running away from the mall security. This completely disoriented the men and allowed the her to escape.

Jubilee, then realized she could earn money by using her powers to entertain customers and visitors in the mall. However, frustrated with the young girl's rebellious nature and powerful light-shows, 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. But that that did last as Jubilee was rescued by the X-Men, Dazzler, Psylocke, Rogue and Storm, who happened to be shopping at the mall.

"There's something different in all of us, and nothing-- not a spell, big gloves, nothing-- can change that or take it away. We're all still mutants" - Jubilee (Nation X Vol 1 #2)
