In our reality, Jubilation Lee was born and raised in Beverly Hills as the daughter of two prosperous Chinese immigrants who had a bad turn of fortune and lost their money in the stock market and were then mistakenby hitmen for their neighbors and killed them. Orphaned and impoverished, with nowhere to live, Jubilee was sent to the Los Angeles County Juvenile Hall where she learned how to defend herself and became rebellious towards authority resulting in arrangements to send her away. Fearing that she might eventually be shipped to her only living relatives, who were in Communist China, Jubilee ran away to the Hollywood Mall where she survived on petty thievery when she discovered the X-Men. When the Reavers captured and crucified the X-Man Wolverine, Jubilee helped him escape to safety. Over the following months Jubilee accompanied Wolverine in his travels through Asia and he became like a second father to her and she, too, would become an X-Man.
