Jubilee first appeared in 1989's Uncanny X-Men No. 244, the creation of writer Chris Claremont and artist Marc Silvestri, before going on to become a mainstay not only of Marvel Entertainment's X-Men comic books over the next decade, but also one of the lead characters of Fox's 1990s X-Men animated series, which served as an introduction for many to the characters, and indeed comics as a whole.
