Whats going on with Jubilee?

[Mark Caringer]

Um... I dont know if i missed something, but I havnt seen Jubs in like forever, anyone know anything?

[CongoJack]

After her last appearance in Wolverine: Origins, she joined the New Warriors:

Jubilee is next seen under the disguise of Wondra. Wondra is shown to have technologically-based superhuman strength capable of lifting a locomotive engine over her head. Recruited as the first member of the latest incarnation of the New Warriors, Jubilee acts as Night Thrasher's second-in-command and is responsible for training the team. Jubilee appears to take a more serious attitude to her role as Wondra.

This makes me sad, it also seems way outta character, but i havn't seen it first hand.

maybe she is a skrull ;D

i agreed! ;D

Kevin Grevioux is actually giving Jubilee some of the best treatment she's received in years. She plays a central role as field-leader of the team and supervising her training. Wolverine even appeared in issue #3 for a moment of closure on Wolverine: Origins #10, patching-up their relationship.

Here's a scene from issue #2 where Logan first catches on to what Jubilee is up to. (Okay, I altered the dialogue, so sue me).

Ok first of Mega that was LOL funny, and if you ever wont to post more of your edited pages let me know, ill add a section to the site if you want.

thanks for the teh additional info, im still curious on how she got the ability of super strength, or who gave it to her and how she managed to fix the hole in her stomach?

[Megalictis]

Thanks, Mark!

I've only done a couple like that, but it gives me an idea for a game we can all play. They used to do it on another board.

Post a scan of a page (or even a panel) from any Wolverine story with the words blanked out. Then we can all take turns filling in the blanks.

im still curious on how she got the ability of super strength,

Completely tech-based like all the current crop of New Warriors. It's those armbands. They're based on The Wizard's "wonder gloves" - hence her new name - Wondra. They give her superhuman strength and durability so she can lift a locomotive engine (average weight 107 ton) or punch through a brick wall without being crushed or breaking her hand.

... or who gave it to her...

The current Night Thrasher (Donyell Taylor) gave the team their powers, all derived from modified super-hero and super villain tech. He "salvaged the prototypes from dumpsterd at the site of the formern Avengers mansion. ony Stark had been keeping it htere for study, but when the "Avengers Disassembled" event trashed the masnion Stark wrote it off as a total loss. Taylor (like his brother Dwayne) is an engineering wiz, so he adapted what he could.

.. and how she managed to fix the hole in her stomach?

Same way Callisto got over being paralyzed by Lady Deathstrike to come back as a pit-fighter in X-Treme X-men -- she got better.

If there are any fans of the old Wolverine and Jubilee years left alive, I just thought I'd mention the best Wolverine and Jubilee story you probably never saw: "Things that Never Change" was an 8-page story that appeared in Girl Comics #3 by Marjorie Liu and Sara Pichelli that goes behind the scenes of the events in the X-23 one shot.

[Mark Caringer]

im still a huge jubs fan, have u see the very adault jubs in X-MEN series and also she now a vampire and so is wolvie LOL

[Megalictis]

Yeah, Jubilee - um - gets more "mature" when Paco Medina draws her! At least she's not being treated as a little kid any more.

Despite my reservations about her present condition (unless of course that shot Dr. Nemesis gave Wolverine before he set out to find her is the "antidote") I'm seeing a lot of hopeful signs that Jubilee may be staging a comeback.

1. She got significant page-time in issue #3 of X-Men and has played a significant role in the story so far. And Gischler has discovered that he likes writing Jubilee.

2. She's shown among a group of photos of those being targetted by Logan's enemies in Wolverine #1.

3. She got her own page in the Marvel Origins X-Men one-shot. This is significant in that the book is intended to introduce new readers to a 36 characters who are important in the various X-titles (including Cable and Phoenix who are semi-dead right now). Jubilee is the only de-powered mutant and the only Generation X survivor (besides Emma) mentioned in the book.

4. Marjorie Liu (founder of the Wolverine and Jubilee website) is writing full time for Marvel on X-23 and co-writing Daken: Dark Wolverine.

i am glad to see jubs but not as a vampire

i want my jubs back and i want a teamup with wolvie, but i wouldnt mind(dont hit me) armor to become a jubs like character and see a fun team up with those too. Armor will never be jubs. she and wolvie have to much history.

I have been to the wolvie/jubs site and never knew that was the writer, im glad to hear that.

how is daken: dark wolverine doing. I have read dark wolverien up to this point, but its time for me to call it quits on him, he seems like a poor knockoff with no real character and the gay stuff is just to much, wolverine is straight and he doesnt have to make out with a chick in every book.

so I think im going to add X-23 to my list of books

True, Armor will never be Jubilee, but she also doesn't want to be. Hisako has figured out that she can make fun of Wolverine and he won't kill her for it and she just seems to think it's the most amusing thing in the world. Most of the X-kids her age are too intimidated by him to do that so it's kind of a status thing for her, as well as her being part of one of the "grown-up teams." It would be cool to see Jubilee and Hisako team-up (possibly as part of another "Wolverine Rescue Squad") becasue it provides an opportunity to contrast the two characters.

Issue #1 came out and Daken has a new costume and a goal in mind - start building his own empire. Apparently Daken is still on good terms with the Fantastic Four as Jonny Storm called his cell phone. We also discover Daken's got a connection to the conspiracy that sent Logan's soul to hell that seems to go back 50 years. He was tailing Melita Garner for them, but also turned against them by telling Mystique what they were up to.

I still miss Albert and Elsie Dee.......

[deepredtiger]

I miss those stories too and I loved the old Jubs tag a long Wolverine stories.

[Megalictis]

Yeah, I really enjoyed Larry Hama's run in Wolverine (vol. 2). In fact I think I haven't enjoyed any writer's stint handling Wolverine as much until Jason Aaron came along. I think it's the reason I like both it they both explore Wolverine's past as it effects his present while still presenting a solid adventure.

And speaking of Hama, Jubilee and Elsee Dee - remember the diner scene from Wolverine vol.2 #40? Who knew you could a quart of 10W-30 in a diner?
