History:

(X-Men '97: the Animated Series cartoon - "Motendo/Lifedeath - Part I" (fb) - BTS) - The grotesque, media-obsessed tyrant Mojo planned to trap X-Man Jubilee and newcomer Sunspot from Earth-92131 inside a videogame based off of Jubilee's memories. To do so, Mojo required extensive testing before launching his game-world, but keeping Jubilee and the others trapped as test subjects for too long posed too great a risk. To solve this, Mojo created digital replicas of Jubilee to serve as beta testers, allowing the game's levels and mechanics to be refined without outside interference. With the game finished, Mojo had Spiral kill all the beta's except for one who figured out a glitch and hacked her way out and onto Mojo's broadcast server.

(X-Men '97: the Animated Series cartoon - "Motendo/Lifedeath - Part I" (fb) - BTS) - Over time, the only surviving replica of Jubilee remained free of Mojo's control. Having endured and replayed the game countless times, she became intimately familiar with every level and challenge, reliving its glory years again and again causing her to age, grey hair, wrinkles and all. Jubilee's digital replica formed her own identity separate from Jubilee's she became known as Abscissa. Abscissa wore a spiked combat outfit accented with heavy chains and angular armor plating that echoed Mojoworld's exaggerated aesthetic. The ensemble was completed with high-tech rollerblades, allowing her to glide and maneuver effortlessly through the digital arena.

(X-Men '97: the Animated Series cartoon - "Motendo/Lifedeath - Part I") - When Mojo finally abducted and trapped Jubilee and Sunspot on his game, Abscissa was ready to save them. Abscissa first appeared during the Genosha level of Mojo's game-world, where she destroyed several Genoshan magistrates in order to rescue Jubilee and Sunspot. When Jubilee attempted to communicate with her, Abscissa vanished upon Mojo's arrival. It was later revealed that death within the game resulted in death in the real world, a rule Mojo imposed to raise the stakes for the trapped X-Men.

    During the second stage set in the Savage Land, Jubilee and Sunspot battled Sauron, whose attacks nearly depleted Jubilee's life meter, placing her on the brink of real death. Abscissa intervened by exploiting a flaw in the game's programming, restoring Jubilee's health and allowing the heroes to defeat Sauron. Spiral detected Abscissa's interference and attempted to stop her using the game's control systems, but when she proved unable to do so, Mojo ordered her to eliminate her.

    In the final stage, set on Asteroid M, Jubilee and Sunspot faced Magneto as the level's boss. When Sunspot was critically injured and near death, Jubilee recognized Magneto's attack patterns and used her gaming skill to defeat him. As Jubilee held the dying Sunspot, an unauthorized extra life appeared, much to the fury of Mojo and Spiral, who realized Abscissa was aiding the players. Jubilee used the extra life to save Sunspot, confirming that an unseen ally was helping them. Magneto reappeared, but a massive portal opened above the battlefield, and a gigantic digital hand belonging to Abscissa pulled Jubilee and Sunspot into a hidden digital space beyond Mojo's control.

    There, Abscissa revealed her true appearance, an older version of Jubilee, and explained that she was a surviving digital replica created during Mojo's game testing. She described how she alone had endured repeated iterations of the game and encouraged Jubilee to embrace her full potential and take control of her own fate. Determined to escape, Jubilee and Sunspot resolved to destroy Mojo's game. Mojo soon located Abscissa's hiding place and attacked. Drawing on her accumulated experience, Abscissa fought Mojo while inspiring Jubilee in unlocking the true scope of her mutant abilities. Though Abscissa managed to overpower Mojo, the final assault came when she and Jubilee joined hands and combined their powers, destroying Mojo's digital form and ejecting him from the broadcast server. With Mojo defeated, Jubilee and Sunspot were returned to their home reality, leaving Abscissa's ultimate fate unrevealed.

In X-Men '97, Abscissa, the digital, older alternate counterpart to Jubilee, is voiced by Alyson Court, the original voice actress for Jubilee from the 1990s animated series. Court returned to the franchise to voice this specific character while supporting Holly Chou, the new voice actress for the younger Jubilee. 

Inspired by the Motendo episode Funko Pop released a series of 8-bit bobblehead's, including Abscissa, Jubilee, Sunspot, Mojo, Spiral, Sauron and Magneto.

When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
