Actually, yeah, it was. The New Warriors obviously wasn't raking in the money as Marvel might have hoped it would of, as good of a series as it was, it was cancelled and shut-down for a reason, yes, Wondra was an amazing re-incarnation but evidently wasn't good enough to be used by later writers, or even acknowledged. Marvel obviously has a strict rule about re-powering mutants, Jubilation, didn't fit that bill, sadly, so they decided to go for the alternative, turning her into a Vampire which was the only shot she had at becoming relevant again. We've already got a character who was de-powered as a result of M-Day but has managed to find themself back into the welcoming arms of a fully powered mutant-team (Rictor in X-Factor, who is the only mutant to have been re-powered since M-Day, NOT Jubilee), adding Jubilee to the pile would be asinine, they needed something else, becoming a Vampire was the better, and wiser option.

Well, I can't say that I'm watching Marvel's titles very closely, but I think you're missing something there. For example, Chamber. Former member of Generation X, same as Jubilee, depowered by M-Day, same as Jubilee, part of the New Warriors, same as Jubilee... and now he's got his powers back, and I've heard that he's part of Wolverine's team. And there were other re-powered mutants, too, like Quicksilver, and Magneto, and Iceman (they said he just had a "mental block", though), not just Rictor. What I'm saying is that Marvel obviously COULD do better with Jubilee, and they should, too.

I've said it before and i'll say it again, Jubilee becoming a Vampire was the only shot she had at becoming a "relevant" X-Character, if only for a while, it was either that, or damnation to Limbo. Becoming a Vampire is the best thing to happen to her since M-Day.

Actually, no, it wasn't. There was the issue in Girl Comics that showed her bonding with Wolverine, and even Wondra and the New Warriors story was better than the vampire arc.

She was interesting and cool when she was Jubilee. This whole vampire story? Stupid. Someone should tell Marvel to wrap it up already and to bring the real Jubilee back.

She's obviously kidding, and you obviously don't know anything about Jubilee. Why is it so obvious?

When the X-Men get captured on Genosha, Jubilee makes an escape plan and convinces the other mutants to follow it. The plan only fails because Gambit betrays them.

Later, when Gambit is ambushed by genoshan guards, it's Jubilee that saves his life.

When Colossus comes to ask X-Men for help, Jubilee helps him save his family and friends from the invaders, and the only reason why the X-Men don't arrive to help sooner is because Wolverine misplaced Jubilee's note.

When Iceman tries to find and rescue his former girlfriend, Jubilee is the only one who treats him like a human being, not like a "threat or menace". She also is the one that gives Professor X the idea how to defeat Forge's X-Factor.

When Wolverine gets lured into Morlocks' tunnels, Jubilee saves Gambit's life again - almost by sacrificing her own.

In the Savage Land Jubilee is the one that defeats Sauron after he beats other X-Men.

The one time that Jubilee did get in trouble was when Morph sent her into FoH HQ. And he made the same thing with Rogue and Storm and Beast as well.

That's why I say you don't know anything about Jubilee.
