As for the characters, Jubilee grew up wealthy and privileged, before an assassination orphaned her and manifested her mutant abilities. As a result, she was taken in by the X-Men and became a student under Charles Xavier. Stryfe, on the other hand, was kidnapped by Apocalypse from a young age and later abandoned. Stryfe grew up alone, angry by this event in his life, and so he now seeks vengeance against anyone who wronged him.
