In a recent discussion regarding the state of the Generation X kids...someone rightly pointed out that whilst Jubilee was depowered she was far from helpless. With her highly adept gymnastic skills and battle experience Jubilee could remain a super hero.

So i present to you....

JUBILEE: THE ONGOING SERIES

Jubilation Lee has been through alot in her seventeen years. Loosing her parents, discovering her mutant abbilities and facing death day in, day out. For many that would be an incredible burden to bear. Most would welcome the oppurtunity to give up this curse...disregard their strange, freakish lifestyle.

But Jubilee...is not most people.

Stripped of her powers our young heroine finds herself desperate: Desperate to feel the rush of adrenaline that only a battle can provide, desperate to proove herself in a world that has up until this point cruelly shunned her and desperate for to help people. A mild mannered reporter by 'The Aleternative' by Day, Lee is an acrobatic avenger by night. Soon the criminals of New York City will come to learn that while stripped of her 'fireworks', Jubilee is still more than capable of causing a few explosions...

DISCLAIMER: I'm aware this wouldnt survive as an ongoing. It's purely for fun.

I like it. I'm a huge shipper for Jubilee, and hope she returns to the x-books soon, depowered or not.

Isn't she going to be in the new Wolverine Origins arc? Does that take place in the present?

I know Jubes can make it on her own without her powers, but I'd still prefer to see her repowered. Fireworks and all.

The funny thing is...Jubilees powers could so easily be reproduced with technology....say she got Iron Man or Reed Richards to hook her up with some firework making gauntlets or something.

Personally id prefer her to have loads of gadgets rather than just be another mutant.

Really? It's the other way around for me. I like Jubes in her original state.

I'd be timidly accepting of this if she could get them from a good guy instead.

Ahh yes...but your assuming of course Jubes would be anti-registration?

Im not sure she would be...and itd be interesting to see some friction with Logan.

Dude, her introduction was on the run from mutant hunters. If there's one character that's most likely not to suddenly flip out of character at the offer of a SHILED paycheck, its Jubes. She knows what the SHRA means even if Bishop doesn't.

I know...but shes a very different person now after losing various people (Skin, Synch) and generally being let down by the X-Men...its just an interesting perspective...

And while this is a bit offtopic i dont think that most of the chosen pro-reg characters are behaving oddly...it made perfect sense to me that Reed and Tony would be the ones behind this.

I'd read it no problem. A Jubilee solo would be crazy delicious.

Does anyone else have any pitches for depowered characters? I'd love to see what everyone wants to do to someone like Moonstar or Marrow.
