10 Best Female Characters In The X-Men Universe

6. Jubilee

Marvel Comics

If you look back at Jubilee's initial appearances with the X-Men, you could see her as a product of her own time. She had a rebellious and spunky spirit about her, which many people reading the comic at the time could latch onto.

In an era that seemed to be about radical social change in comics, Jubilee was an obvious fit for the cultural shift comics were going through. But not every character can stay in one configuration forever, and much like so many other characters, Jubilee has had to change with the times.

From the witty kid who was saved in a shopping mall by some of her fellow mutants, Jubilee has continued to see her character go through many changes. She lost her powers during the House of M crossover and eventually became a vampire, yet still loved her extended mutant family enough to stick by them. Jubilee speaks to that childlike quality in all of us. Even with an adopted child of her own now, Jubilee has gone past even that -€“ she's an adult, having matured past her own insecurities to get the greatest gift of them all.
