Thomas 'Jellybeans' Jones was a character created as part of a Marvel Mutant registration Act competition to create a new mutant for New Mutants. The winning entry, created by Paul Bestow appeared instead in 1989's X-Factor #41 and #42 instead, written by Walter and Louise Simonson and drawn by Art Adams.
