Jubilee, as we know, was one of the mutants depowered after M-Day, but continued as a superhero even without her initial power set. First, she was part of the New Warriors called Wondra and used a super suit based on technology from the Wizard. Then, she became a vampire in the 2010 story Curse of the Mutants. This was a status quo that lasted a good eight years, until she was finally cured of her vampirism by Quire and regained her mutant powers at last.
Honestly, I think the idea is cooler than the execution. Jubilee as a vampire is something that could be a fun reinvention without straight-up giving her the old powers back, but in reality the reason they even did this was to help her appeal to the Twilight crowd. When Twilight faded out of popularity, her vampire set felt a bit dated, given that it was based on said fad. That, and she felt really out of place when she was with the other X-Men characters, her vampiric powers next to the other mutants made her stick out like a sore thumb. When she got her original powers back, it was for the best.
But I thought I'd ask you guys about it now that it's been a while. What did you guys think of vampire Jubilee?

She was cuter with fangs and that's all that really matters.

A fun story idea that overstayed its welcome.

Same here. She was a badass as a vampire. I wish she could have retained those abilities in addition to her mutant powers. Originally Posted by phoenixzero23

It was pointless, just like Decimation.
She has powers. Really destructive powers that really are never tapped into. She's been an X-Man for 30 years, now. It's way past time to let it show that she can stand her own ground against the best of them.
