* WidgetSeries: Compared to the rest of the X-Men line, and really anything Marvel was putting out at the time, it's definitely a whole lot weirder to the point where it can sometimes be a little hard to follow. As an example this is a series where Comicbook/HowardTheDuck spends a handful of issues as a supporting character.

--> '''Bastion:''' Oh really? How so?
--> '''Jubilee:''' It was the "Please Stop." Any Wolverine I know would die before he'd beg.

She watches tearfully as they electrocute Wolverine, who then begs them to stop. Bastion hears what he assumes is crying from Jubilee, but it's actually her trying to hold in her laughter, until she is flat out laughing in Bastion's face.

* DevastatingRemark: Jubilee and Monet are spending the day together in New York, and the subject of Everett's recent death came up. Jubilee, whose parents were murdered, tries to offer heartfelt advice to Monet on coping with loss, Monet tears into her, "The first and '''only''' person in my life I have ever felt that way about, and he was just ripped away from me in an instant! I will never '''ever''' see him again! You have no idea what that's like! You have no idea how I feel! Do you!?" Then she sees Jubilee, her face scrunched in silent agony, tears streaming from her eyes. Monet has a JerkassRealization and hugs Jubilee, saying, "Yes, of course you do, don't you."

* TeamMercyVsTeamMurder: Played with. One story reveals that the grandfather of one of their wealthy classmates was responsible for ordering the murder of Jubilee's parents. Jubilee goes off to take the guy on, and the rest of Gen X fears she's firmly in the "Team Kill" category, being Wolverine's prodigy in their eyes, so they go off to stop her. But after all is done, the bad guy arrested, and the team explains their concerns to her, that Jubilee tells them that it's ''because'' of Wolverine that she ''[[ThouShallNotKill won't]]'' kill anyone.

One of the many 1990s spin-off books from ComicBook/XMen, ''Generation X'' told the story of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse's latest group of teenage mutant trainee superheroes. It went through various authors and artists, but was popular for most of its six-and-a-half-year run, before being fairly abruptly cancelled in a deck-clearing exercise at the end of the 1990s.

* SiblingFusion: It is revealed in Issue #31 of ''Generation X'' that the Monet St. Croix we've been following is actually a gestalt being created by her younger twin sisters Claudette and Nicole merging together. The twins can also merge with their brother Emplate to form M-Plate.

Added DiffLines:

* PowerIncontinence: Jubilee, at the time, had very little control of her powers when she was emotional or agitated. She exploits this when Emplate has the team captive, goading him into feeding on her first by giving him a series of insults and a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Only after he's railing at her about how she doesn't know anything about him or his family, as he's siphoning her power, does she point out how being emotionally unbalanced affects her powers, and now his. Cue a big Boom.
