When she was 13 years old, she began getting headaches which were the result of her mutant powers starting to manifest. Both the Hellfire Club and Professor X pursued Kitty to get her to join their cause. Kitty did not like Emma Frost or her attitude which made Kitty feel uncomfortable around her. It was an easy decision for Kitty to go with Xavier and the few X-Men accompanying him. One of the X-Men was Storm, and they quickly became friends.<br/><br/>The X-Men were abruptly attacked by mercenaries sent by Emma Frost. They battled and The X-Men defeated them easily, but Emma used her telepathy to freeze everyone. Kitty was able to slip away during the confusion and contacted Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Nightcrawler. They arrived soon after and Kitty helped them rescue the captured X-Men. Xavier returned Kitty to her parents who were furious that their daughter had been missing for an entire day. When Professor Xavier requested that she be allowed to study at his School For Gifted Youngsters, Kitty's parents refused, and expressed their fear for the danger they felt he represented to their daughter. Jean Grey erased their memories and replaced them with false ones, thus changing their perception of Professor Xavier. Kitty's parents relented, and she was allowed to join the school, becoming the youngest X-Man ever.While in the X-men, Kitty developed a relationship with her (older) team member, Colossus. She also became close friends with his sister Illyana Rasputin. Initially, Kitty was also uncomfortable around mutants with irregular physical features such as Nightcrawler. Eventually she overcame this problem as she got to know him, and the two became close friends. During a mission in space, Kitty befriended an alien dragon named Lockheed. They gained a psychic bond with each other and Lockheed became extremely loyal to Kitty. To this day the two are nearly inseparable.<br/><br/>While dating Colossus Kitty met Douglas Ramsey, a bright young man who shared her love for computers, science fiction, and arcade games. The two seemed an ideal pair; both notably bright (Kitty has been said to possess 'genius-level intelligence', Doug being on par), from similar backgrounds, and close in age.<br/><br/>This was not lost on Colossus, who sometimes wondered if he, a 'simple Russian farm boy', could make Kitty as happy as her new friend seemed to. The White Queen stated that Kitty had feelings for Doug when she tried to persuade the young woman to transfer to Massachusetts Academy. Despite all this, Kitty and Colossus remained close, often going to Salem Center on dates. Colossus, despite having stated that he and Kitty had already talked about having a life together once she was old enough, developed feelings for an alien named Zsaji whom he met during the Secret Wars. At first he thought the feelings were due to the side-effects of her healing powers, but he eventually realized them as genuine emotion. The object of his affections, however, died in battle, a loss that affected the young Russian profoundly. Once back on earth, he confessed to Kitty that he had not been faithful and cheated on her with Zsaji. This ultimately ended their relationship.<br/><br/>When Kitty's father, Carmen Pryde, ran into trouble with the Yakuza, she went to Japan to investigate. She was kidnapped and brainwashed by a ninja Yakuza boss named Ogun. Using a combination of brainwashing and training techniques that bordered on magical, Ogun turned her into an assassin and she single-handedly killed entire groups of ninjas. When he felt she was ready, Ogun ordered her to kill Wolverine. Kitty nearly did kill Wolverine before his friend, Yukio, beat her senseless, allowing Kitty the opportunity to defeat the brainwashing. Kitty realized that she had been turned into a killing machine and tried to run away, however Wolverine stopped her and forced her to confront her issues. Kitty, Wolverine, and Yukio battled Ogun together and defeated him. Defeated and humiliated, Ogun tried to kill her, but impaled himself on Wolverine's claws as he passed through Kitty's phased form. In the end Kitty decided not to kill Ogun which convinced Wolverine that she was herself again.<br/><br/>Together, Kitty and Wolverine helped her father recover, eventually returning to New York City. The two have since developed a big brother/little sister relationship. She also adopted the code name Shadowcat after this event.<br/><br/>During the Mutant Massacre, Kitty was badly injured saving Rogue from Harpoon. Her injury made her unable to un-phase and she was rushed to Muir Island to be treated by Dr. Moira MacTaggert. Moria was able to stop her from losing physical substance which would have made her cease to exist, but was not able to do more. Kitty was still intangible and had to make an extreme effort of concentration to become solid. At first they went to Mr. Fantastic for help, but he declined, claiming that he did not know what he could do for her. The X-Men turned to Doctor Doom, which angered the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four then tried to stop Dr. Doom from treating Kitty, believing that Doom had an ulterior motive, and they battled the X-Men. Franklin Richards stopped the two teams from fighting and made everyone come to their senses, in the process bonding considerably with Kitty herself. Reed Richards saw the error of his ways and decided to help the wounded young mutant, saving her life.<br/><br/>During a fight with the Adversary (Kitty was not present due to her injuries from the Mutant Massacre), the X-Men made a sacrificing move to defeat him. This was televised live and it showed the X-Men being killed while defeating the Adversary. They were later resurrected and decided to keep a low profile so they could have the advantage on their enemies. This meant they could not contact friends, family or even Kitty. Thinking her friends had died, Kitty was devastated. She left the X-Men mansion together with her long time teammate Nightcrawler and her pet dragon, Lockheed, and went to Britain. There she helped form the superhero team Excalibur which included new teammates Captain Britain and Meggan.<br/><br/>She and Rachel Summers (an old X-Men teammate) were good friends, however, she was annoyed with her a great deal sometimes as most men they met were only interested in Rachel. Wanting to be like Rachel, Kitty dressed up in one of Rachel's costumes, strapped some high heels on, painted her face and went out on the town.After some time with Excalibur, Kitty learned that the X-men, who she presumed dead, where still alive. While being happier then she had been in a while, she and Nightcrawler choose to remain with Excalibur. A lot of things happened in the life of Kitty after that. Rachel seemingly got lost in the time-stream and was not seen again for a few years. Also a Phalanx-like creature calling itself Douglock surfaced and soon became part of the team. Despite bearing a striking resemblance to her long-dead friend Douglas Ramsey, it was proven that Douglock was an entirely separate entity, a concept which took Kitty a while to fully accept, and eventually the two became close friends as well. Kitty had even met and eventually fell in love with a British special agent named Pete Wisdom, who was himself a mutant. Later, Colossus regained his feelings for Kitty and went of to England to try and get her back. Unfortunately for him, Kitty was in a relationship with Pete Wisdom. Although Colossus was extremely mad at Pete and lashed out at him a number of times, he finally accepted their relationship and joined Excalibur. However, on a mission with S.H.I.E.L.D, Kitty realized that she was strongly attracted to one of the other agents, causing her to seriously re-think her relationship with Wisdom. Upon returning home, the two eventually sat down and discussed their feelings for one another, and decided to stop dating. Not long after, Captain Britain decided to retire from superheroing and married Mega. Excalibur disbanded soon afterwards. Kitty and her friends from Excalibur, Nightcrawler and Colossus joined her back to the United States and back to the X-Men. She ended her relationship with Pete Wisdom from that point on.<br/><br/>After Captain Britain left Excalibur for good, the team was disbanded. Kitty and her friends from Excalibur, Nightcrawler and Colossus joined her back to the United States and back to the X-Men. There Kitty became part of the newest X-Men group where she was re-joyed of seeing her good friend Wolverine and Storm again. Kitty quickly adjusts to the team once more and became a valuable asset. Kitty remained an X-Man for some time, but when Colossus sacrificed his life to host the cure for the Legacy Virus, Kitty was distraught and left the team. She took his ashes back to Russia where he was born and raised and spread them across his family farm. Afterward. she retired from her career as a superhero and attended college in Chicago, working part-time in order to pay for her tuition. It was at this time that she also began to search for her father who she discovered had been in Genosha during the Sentinel attack that completely decimated the island nation's mutant population.<br/><br/>Despite her reservations toward acting like a superhero, the rising anti-mutant sentiment and the threat it posed to her friends and family began to convince Kitty of her responsibility to once again use her powers and knowledge for the greater good. She also found a clip of her father in her messages sent before his death, telling her that he was proud of her and to make him even prouder. She then teamed with her friends, including Karma and Shola Inkosi, and fought back against attacks by Wild Sentinels and the Purity anti-mutant faction.<br/><br/>Kitty was then captured by Reverend William Stryker and his goons who injected her with psychotropic drugs in an attempt to convert her to their cause. She managed to resist them and nearly killed Stryker, but instead allowed him to merge with an A.I. in an attempt to teach him about humanity. Kitty was freed by the X-Men and was influential in helping Storm's team recover Destiny's diaries. She re-joined the Xavier Institute now as a English teacher and started a romance up with Piotr Rasputin/Colossus. However after the Breakworld incident they stopped seeing each other, Kitty was the mentor of the five time displaced original X-men, she briefly dated Iceman before he came out as Homosexual and she spent six months traveling in space with the Guardians Of the Galaxy. She now has returned to Earth more confident and ready to lead the X-men.<br/><br/><strong>POWERS/ABILITIES:</strong><br/><br/>Kitty Pryde has the ability to pass through solid matter by allowing the molecules of her body to travel through the space between the molecules of whatever solid she is traveling through. In A+X she explains she used to hold her breath or she thought she had to but after the initial shock wore off, she can now phase through solid objects while breathing and talking. She can also render other people and objects intangible by touching them. When phasing through extremely dense materials, such as adamantium, Kitty experiences pain and disorientation as well as those with dense metals in their bodies ( Wolverine, X-23, etc.) should she phase through them. For some unknown reason, when Kitty phased through Garokk, it caused him intense pain. The reason for this is unclear. Kitty is capable of phasing any amount of her body through objects as well as humans leaving them unconscious.<br/><br/>Kitty can disrupt electronic devices by passing through them in this manner without harm to herself. When she uses this ability in the opposite direction she can levitate herself by walking on air, as if she were walking up a flight of stairs. In her intangible state she is weak against certain energies, psionic and mystical attacks. While in phase form Kitty has demonstrated a remarkable resistance to psychic probing and psionic attacks, but she can be hurt by the Soul Sword and remains vulnerable to magic-based attacks.<br/><br/><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong><br/><br/>Kitty sufferd mental torture under the hands of Ogun and never really got over it, she considers him her greatest foe.<br/>She is susceptible to all magical attack and telepathic assaults. Kitty would die for her friends and they are her greatest weakness.<br/>Kitty feels guilty for the death of her farther and thinks she could have saved him If she hadn't been so proud when they fell out.<br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong><br/><br/>A trained dancer and gymnast.<br/>Has a passion for the theatre and music festivals, loves to travel.<br/>She wears her Jewish Star under her uniform.<br/>Kitty was formerly in a serious relationship with Pete Wisdom before he faked his death.<br/>Katherine lost her virginity to Pete Wisdom at age 18.<br/>Kitty never really stopped loving her first boyfriend Piotr Rasputin.<br/>Sees Logan and Ororo as surrogate "parents".<br/>Kitty is also very close with Nightcralwer, Rachel Grey, Illyana Rasputin, Captain Britain and Megan.<br/><br/><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong><br/><br/>Kitty dosent really carry around weapons but she is trained in all types of weaponry.<br/><br/><strong>KNOWN ENEMIES:</strong>Ogun, Magneto, Nimrod, and others.
