Jubilee (Jubilation Lee) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, most commonly in association with the X-Men. She is a mutant with the superhuman power to generate pyrotechnic energy plasmoids from her hands. A "mall rat", she was the X-Men's youngest member in the early 1990s, often playing a sidekick role.

Jubilee eventually joined the junior team Generation X. She was a prominent character in the 1990s-era X-Men animated series. In late 2004, Marvel launched a self-titled series for Jubilee set in Los Angeles, written by Robert Kirkman and covers by Casey Jones; it was cancelled after six issues. She also has cameo appearances in the first three X-Men films, where she is portrayed by Katrina Florece in X-Men, and by Kea Wong in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. In X-Men: Apocalypse, she is portrayed by Lana Condor.

Jubilee is one of the depowered mutant characters who later reappeared using technology-based powers in the New Warriors comic series. She has since been turned into a vampire.

Jubilee was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Marc Silvestri and first appeared in Uncanny X-Men (vol. 1) #244 (May 1989). She appeared regularly as an X-Men team member in Uncanny X-Men (vol. 1) through issue #280 (September 1991), and later was a staple of X-Men (vol. 2) (1991) as a member of the X-Men's Blue Team. During the same timeframe, Jubilee also serves as Wolverine's sidekick in Wolverine (vol. 2) #40–75 (1991–93). After the Phalanx Covenant storyline in X-Men (vol. 2) #16–17 and Uncanny X-Men (vol. 1) #316–317, Jubilee, who was a young teenager, was transferred to the X-Men trainee squad Generation X and starred in the entire run of Generation X #1–75 (1994–2001). After the dissolution of Generation X, Jubilee returned to the pages of Uncanny X-Men (vol. 1), first as a member of the X-Corporation (issues #403–406, 2002), and later as a team member in her own right (issues #423–437, 2003–04). Jubilee had a six-issue self-titled limited series in 2005, but lost her mutant powers in House of M – The Day After #1 (2006). She then adopted the alias Wondra and joined the reconstituted New Warriors in New Warriors (vol. 4) #1–20 (2007–09). Jubilee was affected with vampirism in X-Men (vol. 3) #1 (2010) and remained a sporadic character on that title through issue #27 (2012), as well as a supporting character in X-23 (vol. 3) (2010–11). Contemporaneously, she saw print in her second limited series, Wolverine and Jubilee (2011). Jubilee most recently features as a regular character in the all-female X-Men (vol. 4) #1–25 (2013–15).
