34 Years Later, X-Men '97 Finally Gives Jubilee a Major Upgrade

Stories about the X-Men tend to include at least one young mutant who begins as an outsider to the superhero world and can thus serve as an audience surrogate. In 1992’s X-Men: The Animated Series, this role was filled by Jubilation “Jubilee” Lee, a teenage girl with the ability to produce explosive blasts reminiscent of fireworks. The cartoon turned Jubilee into a fan-favorite member of the X-Men, and she returned in Disney+’s continuation of the series, X-Men ’97.The first season of X-Men ’97 dedicated an episode to Jubilee’s 18th birthday, in which she learned the importance of looking towards the future rather than being stuck in the past, but her role on the team remained largely the same as it had been in X-Men: The Animated Series. However, the recently released second season of X-Men ’97 placed Jubilee in a new context, completing a character arc that began over three decades prior.While Archangel, Psylocke, and Sunspot have indeed been part of X-Force in the comics, albeit not all at the same time, Jubilee never has. In fact, she runs counter to the team’s usual identity. Marvel began publishing X-Force comics in 1991 to breathe new life into the X-Men brand by following the trend of dark and violent stories that dominated the era.
