Terry Dodson). It should be praised alone, for what you think would be near impossible... taking one Jubilation Lee, and making her a more believable, likable, & relatable protagonist. That's right HATERS, over the years, the writers & artists were able to take the lifelong bane of your X-fan existence... Jubilee!... and make her the dynamic, sympathetic, & ultimately complex central focus of an already eXtremely interesting ensemble! She stood her own amongst the likes of Emma Frost/the White Queen, Sean Cassidy/Banshee, Jonothon "Jono" Starsmore/Chamber, Monet St. Croix/M, Paige Guthrie/Husk, & the mysterious, weirdly captivating... "Penny"/Penance(Hollow)! All strong characters, give or take, IMHO. Of course there was also Everett Thomas/Synch, underdeveloped in my mind, but with loads of potential. Unfortunately, he was "killed" WAY before his time, and has yet to be resurrected as far as I know. Then there were, for me, lessers Angelo Espinosa/Skin, Mondo,... and the despicable Gaia, who I consider to be Generation X's... sCrappy-Doo!! She ruined everything!!! What a loathsome creation she was... not one of Gen X's better moments, that's for sure! BUT, if we're serious about getting some of them into the SHSO game, say like Penny for instance... eventually... we NEED to start with & concentrate on:
