JUBILEE

Real name: Jubilation Lee
Other aliases: None
Identity: Secret
Occupation: (current) Student, adventurer, (former) Street performer
Legal status: Citizen of the United States with no known criminal record, still a minor
Place of birth: Beverly Hills, California
Marital status: Single
Known relatives: Dr. and Mrs. Lee (parents, deceased)
Base of operations: (current) Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, The Massachusetts Academy, Berkshire Mountains, Massachusetts, (former) Beverly Hills, California; Los Angeles County Juvenile Hall; Hollywood Mall, Hollywood, California; Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Salem Center, Westchester County, New York State
Group affiliation: (current) Generation X, (former) X-Men
First appearance: UNCANNY X-MEN #244

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 105 lbs.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black
Strength level: Jubilee possesses the normal human strength of a girl of her age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise.
Known superhuman powers: Jubilee is a mutant with the superhuman ability to generate what she calls her "fireworks:" energy globules that vary in degrees of power and intensity. The globules obey her mental control, traveling where she directs them, arranging themselves in balls, streamers, and other shapes, and exploding when she wishes. These combinations may result in anything from a multitude of colorful sparkles capable of temporarily blinding a person to a fairly powerful detonation, capable of smashing tree trunks or metal objects. She can absorb these "fireworks" back into her own body without harm to herself.

History: Jubilation "Jubilee" Lee was born and raised in Beverly Hills as the daughter of two prosperous Chinese immigrants, Dr. and Mrs. Lee. She attended an exclusive Beverly Hills school where she became an extremely talented gymnast. One weekend her parents lost their money in the stock market. That same weekend two hit men mistook Dr. and Mrs. Lee for their neighbors, also named the Lees, and killed them.
Orphaned and impoverished, with nowhere to live, Jubilee was sent to the Los Angeles County Juvenile Hall. There she learned how to defend herself and became rebellious towards authority. The Juvenile Hall authorities arranged to send her to another orphanage. Fearing that she might eventually be sent to live with her only living relatives, who were in Communist China, Jubilee ran away to the Hollywood Mall.
At first she survived as a petty thief, stealing whatever she needed. But one day, trapped by mall security police in a dead end, in her fear and panic she unwittingly activated her superhuman powers for the first time. Globules of energy, which she would later call "fireworks," shot from her hands, exploding in front of the police, enabling her to make her escape. From then on Jubilee led a lonely life, her outwardly cynical attitude hiding her deeper fear that she could not trust anyone. She earned a living by creating "fireworks" displays for the mall customers with her newly emerged abilities.
Then one day, mall security, having failed to capture her yet again, contacted the novice mutant hunters known as the M Squad. Luckily, several female members of the X-Men, Dazzler, Psylocke, Rogue, and Storm, happened to be shopping at the Hollywood Mall that day. They foiled the M Squad's attempt to capture Jubilee. Fascinated by these women, Jubilee followed them until they exited via a teleportation portal provided by the mutant aborigine Gateway back to the small town in the Australian outback, where the X-Men were then based. Before the portal closed, however, Jubilee jumped in.
She emerged in front of Gateway moments after the female X-Men had left the scene. Gateway verbally welcomed Jubilee, although he had never spoken to any of the X-Men, led her to a tunnel, and pushed her down into it. She landed in the vast underground cavern that stored the bounty of the Reavers, the criminal cyborgs who had previously been the town's sole residents.
Jubilee created a living space for herself within the cavern. Although part of her wanted to connect with the X-Men, she did not trust anyone yet, mutant or otherwise. So she kept her presence a secret, watching the X-Men from her hiding place. She became a scrounger, taking food and clothing from the X-Men while they were busy elsewhere.
She finally emerged from hiding after most of the X-Men had abandoned their Australian base and the returning Reavers had captured and crucified the X-Man Wolverine. After Wolverine succeeded in freeing himself, she helped him escape to safety.
Over the following months Jubilee accompanied Wolverine in his travels through Asia. He became like a second father to her.
Jubilee finally met Professor Charles Xavier, the founder of the X-Men, when they were both captured by the alien Warskrulls. Subsequently, when the X-Men reunited under Xavier's leadership, she became a full member of the team. She continued to accompany Wolverine frequently on his solo missions.
After the X-Men defeated the techno-organic Phalanx race, Xavier decided to found a new school where the various teenage mutants whom the Phalanx had captured would be trained in the uses of their superhuman powers. Hence, Husk, M, Skin, and Synch became members of a new mutant team, Generation X. Xavier assigned Jubilee to join this new team as well, since she was in their age group. She was not happy, seeing her reassignment as a demotion.
However, Jubilee quickly became the team player in Generation X that she had been with the X-Men. Despite her characteristically cynical remarks, Jubilee came to love and trust the members of her new team as if they were her new family.

Superhuman mental powers: Professor X ordinarily possesses vast psionic powers, including telepathy; the ability to induce in others mental illusions, temporary mental or physical paralysis, and loss of specific memories or total amnesia; the projection of "mental bolts" to stun or render a person unconscious; astral projection; and the ability to sense other superhuman mutants within a small radius. At present Xavier is unable to use his psionic powers.
Special limitations: Part of spine shattered, confined to wheelchair

History: Charles Xavier is the son of nuclear researcher Brian Xavier and his wife Sharon. After Brian Xavier's death, Sharon married his colleague Dr. Kurt Marko, whose son by a previous marriage, Cain, bullied the young Charles.
Charles' telepathic powers began emerging when he was still a boy, and as he grew older he learned to control them. A brilliant student, he entered graduate studies at England's Oxford University, where he met and fell in love with a young Scotswoman named Moira MacTaggert. They planned to be married, but after finishing his work at Oxford, Xavier was drafted and sent to Asia.
There Xavier and Cain Marko served in the same unit. Xavier witnessed how Marko found the mystical ruby in the temple of Cyttorak that transformed him into the superhuman Juggernaut .
Deeply depressed when Moira broke off their engagement without explanation, Xavier began traveling abroad after leaving the army. While in Cairo, Egypt he battled Amahl Farouk, the Shadow King, the first evil mutant he had ever met. This meeting led to Xavier's decision to devote his life to protecting humanity from evil mutants and safeguarding innocent mutants from human oppression.
Xavier next went to Israel, where he fell in love with Gabrielle Haller and became friends with a man calling himself Erik Magnus Lehnsherr. Lehnsherr would years later become his greatest enemy and rival, Magneto. Xavier was unaware when he left Israel that Haller was pregnant with his son, who would become the mutant known as Legion.
Professor then fought against an alien calling himself Lucifer, the advance scout for an invasion by his race. In retaliation, Lucifer dropped a huge stone block on Xavier, crippling his legs.
He renewed his friendship with Moira MacTaggert, who was now a renowned geneticist, and they began discussing the idea of founding a school for mutants.
Xavier's first student was the 11-year-old Jean Grey, who had been traumatized when she telepathically experienced the emotions of a dying friend. Xavier helped Jean recover and taught her to use her telekinetic powers.
Xavier later met with Fred Duncan, an F. B. I. agent investigating the growing number of mutants. Xavier told Duncan of his plan to locate young mutants and enroll them in his "School for Gifted Youngsters" using his ancestral mansion home as a base to train them to use their powers for humanity's benefit. Over the following months Xavier assembled his original team of "X-Men:" Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast, and Jean Grey, who took the name Marvel Girl.
Years later, when most of his original students were captured by the mutant Krakoa, Xavier recruited a new team of X-Men, including Banshee, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm, and Wolverine. In subsequent years he added more members to the X-Men, such as Rogue and Shadowcat.
Lilandra, princess of the alien Shi'ar race, came to Earth to ask Xavier for his help against her tyrannical brother D'ken. Xavier and Lilandra fell in love, and for a time he lived on Chandilar, the Shi'ar throneworld, as her consort.
After the apparent deaths of the second team of X-Men, Xavier, encouraged by MacTaggert, took on a new class of mutant students, whom he named the New Mutants.
The alien race called the Brood had secretly implanted an egg within Xavier's body. MacTaggert and the X-Men's spacefaring allies, the Starjammers, saved Xavier by transferring his mind into a newly cloned, somewhat younger body in which he could once again walk. But in subsequent months Xavier suffered physical injuries and psychic strains that left him on the brink of death. Lilandra and the Starjammers took him into outer space where they used Shi'ar technology to restore him to health. After an extended sojourn in space with the Starjammers, Xavier finally returned to Earth. Both the original and second teams of X-Men reassembled under his leadership, along with new recruits like Gambit and Jubilee. Xavier led the X-Men against the Shadow King, only to have his spine broken in battle, leaving him crippled and confined to a wheelchair once more.
Since the X-Men were all now highly trained adults, Xavier renamed the school in his mansion The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. He took control of a private school, the Massachusetts Academy, and made it the new School for Gifted Youngsters, where yet another new class of young mutants, Generation X, was taught.
In his most recent battle with Magneto, Xavier lost his temper and used his mental powers to shut down Magneto's conscious mind. In the process Xavier's mind was inadvertently infected by the evil within Magneto's psyche. The result was that the dark sides of Magneto's and Xavier's minds combined and physically manifested themselves as the nearly invincible entity called Onslaught, who usurped Xavier's psionic powers. America's greatest super heroes narrowly defeated Onslaught, who appeared to perish. However, to ensure that Xavier never again spawned a being like Onslaught, Dr. Valerie Cooper of the United States government took him into custody. Although Xavier was willing to serve as a prisoner of the United States government, he was appalled when it turned him over to the custody of Bastion, head of the anti-mutant Operation: Zero Tolerance. At present Xavier remains unable to access his psychic powers.

0First appearance: GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 127 lbs.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: White
Skin: Gray
Strength level: Athlete
Flight speed: Subsonic (when propelled by winds)>br> Fighting skills: Excellent hand-to-hand combatant, trained by Wolverine
Special skills and abilities: Extraordinary ability at picking locks, excellent marksman with handguns
Known superhuman powers: Storm has the psionic ability to control the weather over limited areas. She can fly by creating winds strong enough to support her weight. Storm has limited immunity to extreme heat and cold.
Special limitations: Storm's psionic powers over the weather are affected by her emotions; hence, if she does not maintain control of her emotions, a fit of rage might induce a destructive storm. Also, Storm suffers from severe claustrophobia.
Other accessories: Carries lockpicks.

History: Storm is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Her mother, N'Dare, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya. She married the American photojournalist David Munroe and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born.
When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt. Five years later, their home was destroyed by a bomb. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. This traumatizing effect left Ororo with the severe claustrophobia that still afflicts her today.
Homeless and orphaned, Ororo came under the tutelage of master thief Achmed el-Gibar. She became his prize pupil in thievery and in picking locks.
Years later, feeling a strong urge to go south, Ororo journeyed alone across the Sahara Desert and finally reached her ancestors' homeland, the Serengeti Plain, which lies in the modern nations of Kenya and Tanzania. By this time her mutant power to control the weather had emerged, and she used them to help the local tribes, who worshipped her as a goddess.
Ororo remained with the tribes for years until Professor Charles Xavier recruited her into the new team of X-Men he was assembling. She was given the code-name "Storm" after her power to affect the weather. Except for brief periods away from the team, Storm has remained in the X-Men ever since and shares leadership of the X-Men with Cyclops.

Fighting skills: Excellent hand-to-hand combatant, utilizing street fighting techniques and acrobatics
Special skills and abilities: Bilingual in English and French, ability to throw small objects, including knives, throwing spikes, and playing cards, with extraordinary accuracy
Known superhuman powers: Gambit has the mutant ability to tap into the potential energy contained within an object and transform it into kinetic energy. When Gambit thus charges an object with kinetic energy and throws it at a target, the object releases this energy explosively on impact.
Personal weaponry: Throwing spikes and playing cards

History: A homeless boy wandering the streets, Gambit was adopted by Jean-Luc LeBeau, head of the council of the Thieves Guild, a criminal organization based in New Orleans. As part of a peace pact between the Thieves Guild and their rivals, the Assassins Guild, a marriage was arranged between Gambit and Bella Donna Boudreaux, the granddaughter of the head of the Assassins. However, Bella Donna's brother Julien objected to the marriage and challenged Gambit to a duel. Severely wounding Julien, Gambit was forced to flee New Orleans to prevent war between the two guilds.
Gambit wandered the world as he plied his skills as a master thief, aided by his mutant power to charge objects with explosive energy. He employed playing cards he charged with kinetic energy as his trademark weapon. At one point Gambit agreed to assemble the team of assassins called the Marauders for Mister Sinister. Gambit did not realize that Sinister would employ the Marauders to massacre the underground mutant community called the Morlocks.
Eventually, Gambit encountered the X-Man Storm, who had been transformed into an amnesiac child and who had turned to theft. He helped her escape her enemy, the Shadow King, and they became partners. Later, when Professor Charles Xavier returned from a long period of traveling in outer space, Storm, having regained her memory and true age, sponsored Gambit's admission into the X-Men. Gambit has remained on the team ever since and fell in love with his fellow X-Man Rogue. Recently, however, Gambit and Rogue have grown apart. As for Bella Donna, she has become Gambit's enemy. Recently, the X-Men learned of Gambit's role in the massacre of the Morlocks. Guilt-ridden, Gambit has left the team, at least temporarily.
In the alternate future in which the X-Man Bishop was born, Gambit has become an aged figure that witnessed the betrayal of the X-Men by one of their own members. Bishop suspected Gambit was the traitor until he learned how Xavier's mind spawned the malevolent entity Onslaught.

ANGEL

Real name: Warren Kenneth Worthington III
Occupation: Adventurer
Identity: It is publicly known that Warren Worthington was the Angel, but not that he was the being called Death.
Legal status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record
Other aliases: Archangel, The Avenging Angel, Death
Place of birth: Centerport, Long Island, New York
Marital status: Single
Known relatives: Warren K. (grandfather, deceased), Warren K. Jr. (father, deceased), Kathryn (mother, deceased), Burt (paternal uncle)
Group affiliation: (current) X-Men, (former) X-Factor, Defenders, Champions, Horsemen of the Apocalypse
Base of operations: Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Salem Center, Westchester, New York
First appearance: X-MEN (Vol. 1) #1

Height: 6'
Weight: 150 lbs.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Other distinguishing features: Angel possesses large wings with a sixteen foot wingspan from wing tip to wing tip, resembling those of a bird. Due to Apocalypse's genetic engineering, Archangel has blue skin, and formerly his wings were composed of a hard, sharp organic material that resembles the "organic steel" of the mutant Colossus.
Strength level: Apart from his wings, Angel possesses the normal strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. His wings have superhuman strength and can create enough lift to enable him to carry aloft at least 500 pounds in addition to his own weight.
Known superhuman powers: Angel is a mutant who can fly by means of his natural. Fully feathered like a bird's, the wings have a very flexible skeletal structure, enabling him to press them to the back of his torso and legs with only the slightest bulge visible under his clothing. Angel's entire anatomy is naturally adapted to flying. His bones are hollow like a bird's, making him weigh far less than usual for a man of his build. His body is virtually devoid of fat and possesses greater proportionate muscle mass than an ordinary human does. His eyes are specially adapted to withstand high-speed winds, which would hurt the average human eye. He possesses a special membrane in his respiratory system enabling him to extract oxygen from the air at high velocities or altitudes. Angel flies by flapping his wings, as a bird does. Though he generally flies below the height of clouds (6,500 feet), Angel can reach a height of 10,000 feet with little effort. With severe strain he can reach the highest recorded altitude of a bird in flight (African geese at 29,000 feet above sea level), but he can only remain that high for several minutes. He can fly nonstop under his own power for a maximum of approximately twelve hours. Contrary to some reports, he could not make a transatlantic flight solely under his own power. However, since his genetic alteration by Apocalypse, Angel may be able to fly for longer periods non-stop than he could previously.

History: Warren Worthington III was attending a private school in his adolescence when wings began to grow from his shoulder blades. The wings reached their full adult size within months, but Worthington kept them a secret by strapping them tightly to his back and concealing them under clothes. At first he thought himself a freak. However, Worthington learned that he could use his wings to fly and came to enjoy his newfound ability.
Then one night there was a fire in his dormitory, and he resolved to use his flying power to rescue the people inside. To conceal his identity, Worthington wore a long blonde wig and a long nightshirt, so that he looked like an angel. The rescue was successful and his identity remained a secret. Shortly thereafter, Worthington became a costumed crime fighter in New York City under the name the Avenging Angel. He was then contacted by the X-Men, a team of superhuman mutants, and agreed to join them, becoming one of the group's original members. Years later, shortly after Professor Charles Xavier, the founder of the X-Men, recruited several new members for the group, the Angel decided to leave the team. After his parents' death, Worthington inherited a vast fortune, and he used part of it to found a Los Angeles-based organization of superhumans called the Champions. Worthington also publicly revealed that he was the Angel, although he and Xavier managed to keep secret Worthington's connection with Xavier's school, the cover and home base for the X-Men. When the Champions failed as an organization, Worthington decided to devote his time from then on to his business duties and to his girlfriend Candace "Candy" Southern. Worthington also briefly returned to the X-Men.
The Angel later joined another team of superhuman adventurers, the Defenders, and remained with them after the Beast, another of the original X-Men, reorganized the group. The Defenders used the mansion and estate that Worthington and Southern jointly owned in the Colorado Rocky Mountains as their base of operations.
After several of the Defenders seemingly perished in a battle against Moondragon and the Dragon of the Moon, the Angel joined four other original members of the X-Men in founding X-Factor, an organization that would seek out and aid superhuman mutants under the pretense of hunting down "mutant menaces." Worthington brought in a friend from school, Cameron Hodge, to act as X-Factor's public relations director. Unknown to Worthington, Hodge was the leader of an organization called The Right and intended to use X-Factor to exacerbate anti-mutant sentiments in the general public.
Mystique, leader of Freedom Force, discovered that Worthington, a known mutant, was secretly the financial backer of X-Factor, which was publicly believed to be a mutant-hunting organization, and leaked this information to the news media, generating great controversy.
Subsequently, in a battle with the Marauders during their massacre of the mutant Morlocks, the Angel was caught by Blockbuster. Another Marauder, Harpoon, then impaled the Angel's wings with his weapons. The thunder god Thor rescued the Angel, but the bones of the Angel's wings had been permanently crippled, and his wounds became infected. As a result, surgeons amputated Worthington's wings.
Worthington changed his will, leaving his fortune to X-Factor, thereby unwittingly playing into Hodge's plans. Shortly afterwards, in despair over the loss of his wings, his breakup with Southern, and the controversy plaguing X-Factor, Worthington apparently committed suicide in a small aircraft that exploded.
In fact, however, Worthington was teleported to safety by the mutant Apocalypse who, through genetic manipulation, caused the Angel's wings to grow back in a new form. His views towards the world radically altered by his recent traumatic experiences, Worthington became one of Apocalypse's warriors, the so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and took the name Death. As Death, he battled the other four founding members of X-Factor, but he was shocked into ending his attack when one of the X-Factor members, Iceman, faked his own demise. Abandoning both Apocalypse and X-Factor, Worthington flew off to live a solitary life. He then rejoined X-Factor and adopted the new name of Archangel.
Recently Warren underwent yet another transformation. This time Archangel "shed" his metallic wings, which gave way to his older, more familiar feathered wings. The mystery surrounding this change is yet uncovered, but Warren fears it could be the next step in some higher plan that Apocalypse may have in store for him. This transformation was seemingly triggered by injuries he suffered to his wings inflicted by Sabretooth.
His newfound relationship with his fellow X-Man, Psylocke, has been the anchor he needs while dealing with his current changes. It's no surprise that Warren is also providing the same comfort to Betsy as she deals with her own "evolution" as a result of her exposure to the life-saving Crimson Dawn.

PSYLOCKE
"Elisabeth Braddock can feel the darkness reaching for her, but it's not until she's actually wearing the helmet that the X-Man named Psylocke fully realizes what she's doing. What she's putting herself through. The device she wears is called Cerebro, and it can amplify even the most latent telepathic abilities to a stagering degree. That is the last thing that she wants to do right now... the last thing she should do. But even though she can acknoledge the ricks.. she can't disavow the need. Cerebro pulses to life. For the first time in months, Betsy Braddock's mind is free to roam. So into the darkness her mind soars... free as a bird."(Wolverine #146)

ROGUE

"'Member back when ah first joined the X-Men? Up 'til that point, we'd been enemies, ah was young an' misguided back then, but that's beside the point. You don't know how nervous ah was when ah first walked through that door an' was introduced to you as part of the team--ah guess ah expected yer response, but ah'd be lying if ad didn't say it hurt--you hated me, an' ah couldn't blame you either. Ah'd almost accidently killed one of yer best friends, Carol Danvers. She survived, but ah absorbed her Ms. Marvel powers... permanently. It took her years t'recover. Ah don't know if ah ever will. Ah so desperately wanted to prove mahself to you... to all of you... but you wouldn't give me the chance. Ah found mah chance when ah took a blast from the gun of Viper meant for you an' your lady Mariko. Found out ah wasn't as thought in the process. You saved me by givin' over to me yer healin' factor. Though ah almost died, ah wouldn't have changed a thing. Ah had proven myself in yer eyes. You never told me you forgave me fer what ah did to Carol, but it was left in the past where it belonged."(X-Men Unlimited #25)

WOLVERINE

"If there's a difference between man an' beast, beats me what it is. After all man started as beast. Sure, they say man evolved a more advanced brain around the limbic or 'repilian' mind, makin' him more than a 'mere' animal, but the limbic's still there, maybe sleepin' at the core of what man's become, but always ready to awaken and in me, it's a light sleeper, wakin' hard and fast. I'm a mutant, more evolved than the average man in some ways, maybe less in others. Because I sometimes revert to the limbic state and get downright feral, even lost in a bestial rage, they call me Wolverine. But I'm really Logan; a man, not a beast, and there's gotta be a difference. Maybe the difference between man and beast is simple, animals focus on survival, but man can think beyond, to death and even beyond that, to survival after death. That should make man more thatn animal, but all too often there's greater nobility in beasts, so maybe they have souls too. There's somethin' I heard at a funeral once an' I never forgot written by John Donne, a rare man who restores faith in man, 'Death, be not proud, though some have called thee mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so one short sleep past, we wake eternally, and death shall be no more death shall die.' Kinda flowery for such a small fire, but nice an' brassy too as if havin' a soul lets ya spit in death's eye, an' live to tell about it in a better place. An' if that don't hold true for animals as well as men you can keep heaven, an' I'll go with the beasts."(Game, back of X-Men Unlimited #25)

COLOSSUS

"Once upon a time, we were heros. All new. All different. Friends. Heros. X-Men. I left to mourn a family, accompanied be the only family I have left. The world as always, I have found to be a harsh place. But I also found warmth in the places I forgot that I can always look. True to word, tovarisch. Both then... as well as now. It is nice. It will have to be. Nice enough."(X-Men: Liberators #4)

SHADOWCAT

"When you first joined the X-Men you were an innocent jewish girl out of the suburbs of Chicago and barely into the throes of adolescence. You somehow managed to live through those turbulant years and emerged a seasoned confident adult. You've watched as injured and overmatched friends fight beyond what they should be capible of fighting. You've known love--good and bad--and accepted both as a passage of life. You've seen one time enemies become your allies and former friends become your foes. Yet one thing has remained a constant. The X-Men are a family--a group of outcasts brought together in the singular prusuit of one man's dream--the dream of peace. This family has grown through the years, but yet it has never changed. It is still a family that will stand at one another's side when in need--be it in battle or in grief. You may hate the life..hate the pain...but, looking around you, you know that this is where you truly belong--that when it is finally your time to go, that you would like nothing more than to die exactly as you lived--as a hero--as an X-Man."(X-Men Unlimited #26)
