The Latin word iubĭlum came into Spanish as joy . This is the name given to intense joy , especially that which is expressed through language and gestures.
For example: “The people joyfully await the arrival of the pope to the square,” “The joy at the school was evident: everyone was exultant for the return of the principal,” “The singer expressed his joy on social networks after the concert" .
Joy, in short, is an emotion or state of mind linked to satisfaction and joy . When faced with good news, people feel joy and express it with shouts, jumping and other actions that are often impulsive.
Suppose a young man passes his last exam at the university and manages to graduate . When he arrives home, he finds a surprise party organized by his family and friends. In the house the atmosphere is one of joy : the boy who graduated is very happy for his achievement, while his loved ones are also happy for him and enjoy the possibility of sharing that moment. In this context, laughter and displays of affection abound.
When a soccer team becomes champion of a tournament, the signs of joy can be seen. The players shout, applaud, sing and hug each other, ecstatic at having accomplished their goal. Likewise, the club's supporters also celebrate and join in the celebration.
It is important to mention that, with other accentuations , the term acquires a different meaning related to the verb retire : “In October I will retire as I turn 65” , “The company's accountant retired, so they are looking for a replacement” .
Joy in X-Men
As a proper name, Júbilo is part of the X-Men , the superhero team also known as X-Men or X-Men , in Latin America and Spain, respectively. She is a young mutant whose first appearance in the comics took place in May 1989, in number 244 of the series titled Uncanny X-Men .
The creators of the character Júbilo are the writer Chris Claremont and the artist Marc Silvestri . Jubilee's power consists of creating explosions of pyrotechnic energy with her hands. Throughout his first stories, he has a hard time testing his abilities , especially since his age prevents him from participating in the most dangerous and exciting missions.
Jubilee's age is not arbitrary nor does it go unnoticed: she was introduced to the team as the youngest member and this allowed the writers to create a very particular bond with Wolverine (also known as Wolverine or Cheetah ), who protects her as if she were his own daughter.
This relationship that Jubilee develops with Wolverine is beneficial for both of them and, on a large scale, for all the members of Wolverine, for his part, finds in her one more reason to stay close to the group and fight his natural tendency to behave like a lone wolf.
As Júbilo understands that she is important to someone, her sense of responsibility grows and she stops making impulsive decisions that often put the rest of the team at risk. Little by little, the security that this bond provides allows her to know herself better and in this way she learns to participate in missions more effectively.
In the 1990s, the Fox signal broadcast an animated television series titled X-Men , in which Júbilo was present from the first episode. There you can see his first meeting with the other mutants and all the learning that is mentioned above.
