History

Jubilation Lee was an average teenager growing up around Litchfield, New York until the manifestation of her mutant powers drew the attention of Dr. Russell Tresh and the local authorities. Fortunately, Emma Frost and Sean Cassidy were also altered to the activation of her powers by Cerebro. Together they were able to convince Alicia Lee to enroll her daughter in the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.[1]
