Celebrating Asian-American Heritage Month: Jubilee, Chinese-American superhero



Jubilation Lee, or Jubilee, is a superhero and a member of the X-Men.  She is the daughter of Chinese immigrants and born in Beverly Hills, California.  After her parents were murdered, she was sent to an orphanage.  However, she ran away and hid in the Hollywood Mall, stealing food to survive.  That is when her mutant powers begin to manifest themselves.

Her first appearance was in The Uncanny X-Men #244 in May 1989.  She has been a member of Generation X and the X-Corps.  

Shiro Yoshida, or Sunfire, made his first appearance in X-Men #64 in January 1970, but although an earlier member of the X-Men than Jubilee, he maintains his distance from the team and from the West.
