The Adventures of the X-Men #7

In "Rites of Passage," Sabretooth emerges from the Arctic ice, driven by vengeance after his last encounter with Wolverine. With Jubilee alone at the mansion and the Professor unable to leave his chair, she must face the deadly mutant on her own—guided only by telepathic support from Xavier. Written by Ralph Macchio and illustrated by Andy Kuhn, this 1996 issue captures a pivotal moment in Jubilee’s growth, with cover art by Kuhn that perfectly frames the tension.
