. Due to the decrease in anti-mutant sentiment (caused by the sacrifice of the X-Men to save the Earth), the now more mature and experienced Jubilee decided to start a new version of the X-Men (her "X-People") and began taking on mutant
heroes for training. Some of her first students were not very dedicated (such as the speedster Bluestreak

, Jubilee sought out mutants in trouble as well, such as Nancy Lu, a mutant who was being harassed by anti-mutant vandals. The X-People continue to carry out the heroic ideals set by the X-Men.
