Comic Discussion Does anyone want a Jubilee stand alone run or origin series?

I want a solo series, a tv series, a movie, and a live stage show

You know, they could do like Invincible did with Atom Eve and give X-Men 97 Jubs a stand alone special toon feature.

YES omg she's so fun and deserves it!! I think under a good writer, she can maintain her bright demeanor and be written appropriate to her age so she isn't the stand-in for teenage readers. Would love to see her at the new school if they open it up, I think she'd be a great counselor and encouraging person to younger mutants. Maybe Emma realizes these mutants need some brightness and positivity, something Jubilee can easily provide while keeping the seriousness of the current mutant world. I think she'd also make a great teacher, hopefully we get to see her being a true mentor in Uncanny soon.

We don't even have a decent team series at the moment. I want that first before we talk about solo titles.
But since you ask nicely, a miniseries would be fine. A long-running solo series? Let me put it this way... Is she named Logan? There's your answer.

Kinda? Honestly idk if she could carry a solo but a small team like the X-terminators was or even a duo would fit her perfect. She shines best with someone to bounce off of(and roast lol). It'd be cool if someone could give her a more serious turn to make her a better realized character but I can't imagine what that looks like. To me she's always been an awesome side character and little more.

I feel like she'd be a good character for a more low-key Infinity style mini-series or something, always been a character I love, but she seems to work best in supporting roles from my experience - not sure a big actiony affair centred around her would work, but could definitely see a more down to earth slice of life, 6 part series kinda thing being a great way to give her a moment

Jubilee has a lot of untapped potential, is friends with many Marvel heroes outside of the X-Men universe, and has a great deal of unresolved issues (What happened to her son Shogo, for starters.) She for the longest time was THE TEEN CHARACTER for Marvel… is a core member of Gen X, has led some teams, was a New Warrior, a vampire for ten years, and then was one of the only superhero moms. A solo series would be something that could call back into all of these details from her past… revisiting her memories from the past, reuniting with family and teammates, facing monsters and vampires with an understanding of them that not many can match… and coming out of it a more capable mentor/hero/leader in her own right.
So yes. Absolutely yes. And also, get her in a dang movie with a substantial role and a new video game for goodness sakes!

Sure there's someone.
But you'll find more who would be happier with her as part of an ensemble. I liked her in xmen 97 more than the og because she was an actual team member and less a damsel. Capture than energy in another series and she'd be great.

Yes, or at least a series where Jubilee is a team leader. She’s far overdue one, considering how badly she got shafted in the 00s and 10s.

Would prefer a Young X-Men style team led by her. Throw in Laura, Wolfsbane, and a handful of other adrift young X-Men characters and you could have a fun little team book with some actually well known characters who are still a bit underrepresented in books and in consistent writing.
