Biography
In late 1992, the X-Men were thrust into mainstream attention following the introduction of the Sentinels, giant mutant-hunting robots, by Henry Gyrich's Mutant Control Agency (MCA). They took a young mutant named Jubilee into their protection after saving her from a Sentinel attack. Storm took it upon herself to show Jubilee the ropes and explain the X-Men's purpose. Professor X tasked the team with infiltrating an MCA base and destroying mutant-registration records. The mission was successful, but Beast was captured and taken to federal prison, and Morph was apparently killed by an attacking Sentinel. Meanwhile, Jubilee was taken by Gyrich to the Sentinel factory in Detroit. The team trailed a Sentinel to the facility and broke inside, freeing Jubilee and destroying the robots there. Gyrich and his chief engineer Bolivar Trask were forced to flee. Jubilee officially joined the X-Men, moving into the school and out of her foster parents' home.[1] The night before Beast's bail hearing, a powerful mutant and old foe of Xavier's named Magneto tried to free him and align with him, but Beast refused. Magneto was a zealot for mutant supremacy, aligned against Xavier's philosophy of peace with humankind. When he attacked a missile base, Xavier sent Storm, Cyclops, and Wolverine to face him, but they were no match for his incredible power. He easily fended them off and launched the missiles, but Xavier transmitted Cerebro's electronic knowledge to Storm's mind, and she short-circuited the missiles and landed them in the ocean safely.[2]
