Early Life
Little is known about Kitty before she discovered her mutant powers. She was a good child who got along well with her parents.

However, at school she was considered nerdy and picked on by other girls.

Discovering her Powers
Kitty Pryde's powers first manifested when she was fifteen. One night she had a nightmare and woke up in the basement with her sheets sticking through the ceiling.

She did not want to go to school the next day but her parents talked her into it. At school, two girls who picked on her shoved her into her own locker.

She then accidentally used her powers to escape. Fellow student saw her and realized she had powers.

Realizing the possible extent of her powers, Lance tried to get her to steal the answer sheet to an upcoming test. He then revealed that he also had powers, the ability to create small earthquakes and shock waves.

Kitty became frightened and ran off. He yelled out to her that he would "rock her world." Kitty got to her next class late and the teacher scolded her.

In gym class, the other girls continued to give her a difficult time. Lance was watching them and used his powers to cause one of them to trip. Kitty saw him and he waved back.

She ran away and ran into a woman. Kitty ignored the stranger and ran on.

She found a mask and hid in the auditorium. She tried to through the mask to prove to herself she had powers. Someone then called out to her and she put the mask to her face to see who it was.

She saw that the person was the one in the hall,, who just wanted to talk to her. Kitty wondered if she was one of the girls who had been picking on her.

Jean said she wasn't and showed that she too had powers, the ability to move things with her mind and read the minds of others. Kitty again became frightened and ran away.

Lance found her and this time managed to talk her into helping him. He said it was about taking control. Unbeknownst to her, he was simply trying to steal the test answers.

When she realized what he was doing, Lance threatened her. Kitty managed to escape him and get away.

Jean then found Kitty and helped her. Lance used his powers to try to destroy the school. The two girls managed to escape.

Jean then convinced Kitty to leave her family and join her at the. There she could learn to control her mutant powers with the X-Men. She could also be with those of her own kind who would not tease her for who she was.

Joining the X-Men
Kitty left her home and moved in with the X-Men. There she met the others like, , and.

Kurt instantly took a liking to her though she was frightened by his appearance. To make matters worse, he crashed into her while trying to impress her.

She then distanced herself from Kurt.

Kitty then caused to touch him and knock him unconscious. Kitty became worried about him and the two became friends.

She began attending where she met an overweight student named. He got angry and threw food at others. Kitty left as soon as the food was thrown by phasing through the floor.

Later, Kitty was in gym class when Kurt, with his to appear normal, who began chasing her.

Xavier then informed Kitty and the other X-Men that Jean had been captured.

Kitty went with Nightcrawler to Jean's location so they could save her. They arrived and saw that Rogue had defeated Fred, going by the name Blob. Rogue told them that the X-Men owed her.

While was resting, Kitty asked where he was. She later came to tell Spyke, during his training with, that his couch had called and ordered him to come to the game that night.

While swimming in the with Spyke, Kurt, Scott, and Jean, Kitty complained that Kurt shed his fur in the pool. She got irritated when Spyke did a cannonball into the pool.

Kitty talked to Spyke, Kurt, Scott, and Jean about going to Jean's boyfriend 's party. She and the others tried to convince Scott to go and have fun. However, he thought it was a bad idea.

However, Kitty learned that she could not go. She got upset and left.

Soon after Kurt went missing. Kitty went with the other X-Men and Roge to find out where he was. Kitty and Spyke ran a diagnostic on a device and found where Kurt disappeared to.

Scott attempted to destroy the device, but Kitty told him that she could just phase through it quietly shorting it out. Scott agreed so as to not make a mess. Kitty complained that the boys were obsessed with destroying thing.

She was ordered by Scott to hold off the. She fought with Lance and was hit by one of his attacks. However, she phased through it so she was not hurt.

She phased back through the wall and faced him again. They succeeded in teleporting Kurt home.

When they got into the car, Kitty was disappointed that she could not go to Duncan's party. However, her teammates assured her that they would find a way to get her in.





In the morning, Kitty had a training exercise with the other X-Men. This exercise stopped when Cyclops refused to continue the mission due to Rogue being in it.

After Rouge joined the X-Men, she and the others found out their principal was really Mystique in disguise and expressed outrage that Xavier would hide something like this from them. She and the others encouraged Rouge to speak about this.



Kitty was in a argument with Rouge when she bumped into a boy named Jason. She flirted with him and was asked by him if she was going to audition for the play.

She was filmed by Spyke the entire time and announced to him and Rouge that she was going to audition for the play. She later argued with Rouge over a soundtrack the two both had to use to audition with, when Spyke asked them for their help in his project.

Kitty and Rouge danced in front of his camera, when, all of a sudden, Sabretooth attacked them. They were saved by Wolverine, who was furious with the three and grounded all of them. Kitty was featured in Spyke's video when he turned it in.

Kitty went to bed when Rouge was on the phone. Kitty woke up and along with the other X-Men, confronted Rouge about the dream she had that night. When Kurt secretly met with Mystique, Kitty and the other X-Men arrived to help Nightcrawler fight against the Brotherhood. She was attacked by Blob, but, she phased through him.



She was sleeping in bed when her clock woke her up. She, half woke, phased through the bathroom, only to find Rouge inside, only for her to complain to Kitty about her intruding and lack of reading the sign in the front.

She wrote to her parents about her school and complained about several of the students and teachers, specifically Wolverine. She and Nightcrawler followed Wolverine to his destination and were surprised to see Wolverine attack the two of them, along with Sabretooth.



She convinced Wolverine that he was under mind control and hugged him upon his claws going back into his hands.

They were attacked by Sabretooth again, but, this time, Sabretooth chased Wolverine down to the base of the man who was controlling him. Kitty saved Wolverine by following them with Kurt and malfunctioning the computer that had caused Wolverine all those headaches.

She teleported away to safety and later, brought a badly damaged Wolverine back to the institute.

Magneto
Kitty was going to the beach with Spyke, Kurt and Rouge when they were attacked by Toad, Avalanche, Quicksilver and Blob. Blob slammed down on Kitty, who phased through him, but, was still injured and rendered unconscious. The winners, Rogue, Blob, Avalanche and Quicksilver were taken to Asteroid M. Rogue was rendered unconscious when she arrived with them.

When Toad was on the beach after losing to Rouge, Kitty, Kurt and Spyke interrogated Toad. He told them that Magneto was planning on assembling the strongest mutants of the two teams and seeing which ones were fit to join him in his new world order. She went back to the mansion with the others and meet up with Mystique and Wolverine, who, assembled them and proved to be a good bargainer as he got Mystique to go with them.

She was in the X-Men's jet when a Magneto-enhanced Scott and his brother Alex blasted them. She was later present when Scott apologized.

New Mutants
She was with the other X-Men when they watched and cheered Jean on during Jean's soccer game. She rode home with Scott and Kurt after the game and stopped a car during a pursuit by police officers.

When they arrived home, she and the others were questioned by Xavier. Scott talked to Professor X about using their powers and believed it was reasonable since it had helped save a life, Professor X agreed with him, but, wanted him to stay low as he still did not believe the world should know of their abilities. Scott reluctantly agreed.

When she sat down during a school meeting, Avalanche tried to talk to her, but, she brushed him off.

Avalanche tried to talk to her again, this time, Scott got involved. When Avalanche tried pushing Scott into using his powers, Kitty helped Scott ignore him. She was sitting with the other X-Men when Avalanche and the others announced that they were all mutants. Thankfully, Xavier managed to erase everyone's minds except for Principal.



Kitty once sat during Jean's winning of a trophy and speech, only for her to hear everyone's mind including Kitty's. She talked to Spike about skateboarding becoming a sport, which she declined happening.

She went to science class and briefly talked to Avalanche, before Mr. arrived and announced that they would be making stink bombs.

She later went with Rouge, Xavier, Kurt, Wolverine and Scott to save Jean from a part of her telepathy. She phased through an object that was going to hit her, only for it to hit Kurt instead, who was behind her. When Kurt told her to "watch where you're phasing", Kitty apologized only to be hit in the back by another object, this time a bowl.

Shadowcat was walking down the halls at school when Rouge's friend came and asked her if anything fun was going on for the upcoming weekend. She, Kurt and Spyke deduced that it would be a good Idea to have a party while Xavier was gone, but, Rouge quickly shut them down by reminding them of Jean and Scott's situation.

When the party was launched, one of the kids thought it would be a good idea to play unknowingly with the training simulator.

She was surprised to see Scott and Jean back so soon, who she and Nightcrawler had left disserted. She was told by the professor that someone had orchestrated all of this to gain access to the mansion, but, they were left wondering who.

Beast
When Kurt believed Mr. McCoy had trashed a part of the school, Kitty was hesitant to believe him. She was scared of a test on Friday and quickly ran inside the classroom.

Scott asked her what grade she had gotten and she told him of her A on the test. She was in the room with a good chunk of X-Men when Xavier introduced her and the others to Mr. McCoy, who had recently transformed and had preferred to be called by the name Beast.

Kitty was on the phone with a boy named Bobby when all of a sudden Kurt showed up in her room with a masculine build. This turned out to be a part of his image enduser.

Shadowcat was at the mansion with some of the other mutants unwrapping presents when Nightcrawler dragged around a mistletoe and tried to kiss her. She left with him and the others during Christmas, leaving Rouge, Cyclops, Xavier and Beast.

After Spyke defeated a villain in Africa, Shadowcat, Rouge, Scott, Kurt and Jean were happy he was staying with them.

Kitty was along with the rest of the X-Men surprised that Lance wanted to give the Brotherhood up and join the X-Men. She showed him to his room and told him that the others were not going to be easy on him.

During an X-Men training course, Kitty asked Lance if he was okay, to which he responded yes. However, Lance vomited shortly after that.

Kitty watched Lance on a mission. Lance succeeded in the mission with the new recruits.

Kitty watched as Scott purposely embarrassed Lance in front of the new recruits and Nightcrawler. Shadowcat showed her anger at Scott for doing that by staring at him angrily.

Kitty was saved by Lance during a mission where he was supposed to save Rouge.

Rogue pushed the two into the pool they had used for the mission.

Lance woke her up when new recruits took the X-jet on a joy ride.

Kitty watched Lance do the right thing by stoping the new recruits. They were attacked by governmental plaines.

She tried to convince Lance to stay but he ignored her. Before he left she kissed him on the cheek.

Kitty showed new recruit of the X-Men, Magma, to her first day of school. She told her the basics of what high school was like and bided her farewell.

Kitty went on late night joy rides with Rogue, Jean, Boom Boom, and Magma calling themselves "Sirens". They were attacked by several mobsters, she phased through one and punched them in the back.

They were tracked down by several police officers, who, were tipped by a man they had helped when his car had been stolen.

One female office, who was really Mystique in disguise, let them go and told them to promise to never do what they were doing ever again. She told the female office the leader of the mobsters was in the trunk.

Kitty alerted Rouge that the cars were all in the garage during Jean's absence.

Kitty went to see if the Brotherhood of Mutants knew anything about her disappearance and noted that Blob had previously tried to kidnap her.

Kitty did not know that Jean was really under the mind control of, a mutant with the ability to control other people. Kitty was also one of the X-Men put under Mesmero's control, along with Jean, Spyke and Nightcrawler.

Kitty went with the other three to steal several items requested by Mesmero, Kitty helped by using her phasing power to short circuit the cameras and to go through the glass the items were in.

Kitty fought off Wolverine while under his control. She took advantage of Wolverine's inability to hurt her by kicking him in the knee. After being freed from the mind of Mesmero, Kitty had no idea of what she had done during his control over her. This angered Wolverine, who was still mad about her kicking his knee.

Kitty and Beast both researched things relating to her strange behavior.

The mind controlled Kitty took advantage of Wolverine's insecurity by kicking him in the leg. She was left with no memory of what had previously happened.

Kitty was asked by Rouge if she had asked Lance to the dance yet. She in return, asked Rouge if she had asked Scott and she replied "no". She asked Lance if he would go at school and he accepted.

She was with the other X-Men when Wolverine and Nightcrawler came up with the idea of teleporting around the world to get different decorations for the dance.

At the dance, she watched as monsters attacked and were teleported away by Forge's new device.

Kitty was talking to one male mutant when she heard Beast wondering why he had become a mutant. She convinced Xavier that it would be a good idea for Beast to take the students who were failing in class to the forest.

In the forest, she slammed purposely into the boy she was talking to in the hall because he splashed her camera.

Kitty was the only student who sensed that Beast was miserable and asked him if he was okay and he assured her he was fine.

She and the others saved Beast after he was captured and took down the men who attacked him. Beast reminded her of what she had told him.

Scarlet Witch
When was released from prison, Kitty and the other young X-Men tried to restrain and stop her from causing damage. Kitty snuck up behind her, about to attack, but, Scarlet Witch knew she was coming and stopped her during her phasing in the ground.

Nightcrawler teleported her out of the ground, but, because of Scarlet Witch's tampering with his powers, she and Nightcrawler were sent outside, on top of a tree.

Kitty was in a training exercise when Xavier announced that the Brotherhood of Mutants would be their new teammates. She questioned Xavier's seriousness and watched Scott give up leadership of the team and walk away. Scott came back later though.

Mutants Revealed
When the s were first unleashed, Kitty was one of the first X-Men to fight in the street against it. She was one of the few that managed to get out and away from the Sentinels' freeze gun.

She escaped with the mutants that did not get captured and was present when Xavier was revealed to be Mystique in disguise. She and the others tried to convince Scott not to attack Mystique so that they could find Xavier.

Kitty stood outside of the destroyed mansion and ran away from the approaching police officers coming to arrest them. She stowed herself in a police car with Jean, Kurt and Bobby. She met up with everybody at the meet up point and was confronted by.

Liberation of Mutants
She went with some of the X-Men and tried to rescue the other members. She went with Bobby and rescued the remaining X-Men.

She stood upon the ruins of the former Xavier mansion, wondering what they would do now.

Kitty was in a cave with the other X-Men and was blocked from seeing Storm and Beast debate with US officials on TV. She phased halfway through Nightcrawler and tried to watch them there, but, was shoved by him for invading his personal space. She ran from military choppers when Rouge and Wolverine led the copters to their hideout. She and the other mutants had opted to run instead of fighting the police because Scott thought that if Professor X was there he would have done the exact same thing.

She malfunctioned a weapon system on a chopper with Nightcrawler's help and teleported away, but, before doing that she waved at the man. She flew on the and watched  attack a dam.

After Cyclops failed to defeat Juggernaut, Shadowcat helped in defeating him by phasing Rouge close to him so she could steal his powers. They later found Xavier and rescued him.

Kitty once got up early in the morning to drink milk from the carton, but was caught by Nightcrawler. The two spotted several kids with bizarre mask on and stopped them from doing any damage.

Kitty saw their spray painted drawing of the X-Men and was shocked by it. When Xavier announced that the X-Men were going back to school, Kitty was the first to protest against it. At school, Kitty was mad at Kurt for ignoring her and her friends.

She, Rouge and Scott were pestered by the Brotherhood and Duncan to fight and managed to hold their own not using their powers, she confronted Avalanche directly about messing with them and he seemingly chose not to fight because of what she had said to him.

She forgave Kurt after the day was done and was welcomed back into school after the battle because of Jean's speech.

Kitty and Rouge followed, which led them to follow Lance. Kitty continuously questioned Rouge's "plan". When the Brotherhood of Mutants tried to save Quicksilver, Kitty saved Quicksilver's life by phasing through the truck he was in and grabbing him. She and Rouge were told they were given detention for skipping school.

During Scott's project with the others, Kitty phased through the ceiling and gave him a cord to help his project.

Terrible Driving
Kitty had bad driving experiences or just bad driving in general, leading Scott and Jean to avoid her and drive off quickly upon seeing her.

While the two drove away, she opted to drive.

She noticed Rogue walking by herself and asked her how long it would be until she turned eighteen.

Wolverine, unknowingly, took on the task of being with her while she drives and was outright terrified.

She drove Scott and he proclaimed "I never wanna ride in another vehicle again, as long as I live".

She and Nightcrawler went to go find Spyke, who had mutated and had decided to join the Morlocks. Later, she drove Xavier back to the mansion.

Rouge's Powers
When Rouge's powers went out of control and she ran rampant throughout the city, Kitty and the rest of the X-Men tried to save her and everyone else. They succeeded in stoping her.

Kitty and one of the female students watched Xavier talk to a few X-Men about Mesmero. She left when Bobby came and asked her if she was checking him out.

Kitty and Kurt made fun of Scott and Jean when they flirted on a cruise vacation. She went to the spa with some of the girls later on.

Mesmero
Kitty woke up late for her last day at school and woke up Nightcrawler. She rushed with the others to school and when Rouge was put under the control of Mesmero, Kitty stopped a few chairs from hitting people.

Kitty was sent underground to find any clues revolving around Mesmero's schemes. She pushed a door knob and was ordered to get out of the way.

Kitty went with Nightcrawler and. She advised Nightcrawler to go back to the top and let her and Colossus continue on.

She felt Colossus was very nice and very quiet, this was evidenced when he broke down a wall to find her because "he grew concerned". She and the others were defeated effortlessly by Apocalypse.

Magneto was killed before her very eyes.

When the Brotherhood stopped innocent people from dying on a train and got recognition for it, Kitty was one of the X-Men upset about this, particularly because of the Brotherhood having a villainous background.

She was surprised when Kurt announced the Brotherhood of Mutants had a higher approval rating than the police chief.

At the zoo, Scarlet Witch used her powers to throw her into a pool of crocodiles and when she got out, Scarlet Witch trapped her in the wall so she couldn't escape.

She was thrown into jail with the others, even though, she could escape anytime she wanted to.

She helped in stopping a city wide explosion by phasing a moving train through the other train it was going to collide with.

However, this proved to be too much for her, due to the length of phasing she had to endure and was forced to stop while phasing. She was saved by Nightcrawler.

She and Nightcrawler both shared a cold, Beast came in to her room and checked on her. Kitty went to see Nightcrawler in his room and was teleported to school in her pajamas.

She embarrassingly had to drag Kurt, who was asleep, out of the school, in front of all of her classmates.



She continuously dragged him from downtown, out of a park and a funeral.

Kitty went bike riding with Wolverine when she crashed over a ridge and fell through.

She was saved from being smashed by the side of the cliff falling by Danielle.

When Rouge apologized to her for not "having her back", Kitty forgave her.

Kitty trained some of the students, doing this by phasing one of the student's legs through the floor.

She woke up the next day looking for Danielle, whose things had been moved.

When she questioned Xavier and the others, they claimed to have never met her. She had Nightcrawler help her find her.

She eventually found Danielle in a cave outside of her town and with Nightcrawler's help, was able to rescue her and get her medical attention.

Apocalypse
Kitty watched as Xavier and Storm tried to battle. Kitty was shocked to see the two seemingly vaporized. She was present when Nick Fury arrived and asked for their help.

She went to the Brotherhood of Mutants for help, but, only Scarlet Witch accepted her offer. She went with Scarlet Witch and a few other mutants to fight against Magneto.

She helped in stopping Apocalypse by holding off the Horseman Magneto, but she was knocked out by a Sentinel under Magneto's control. Scarlet Witch tried to wake her up, but, failed.

She eventually woke up when Avalanche moved the ground. After Magneto had been defeated, she helped Avalanche walk after he was injured.

When Xavier told them of his glimpses into the future, she stood with the X-Men and listened to his speech.

Future
In one of Xavier's glimpses into the future, Kitty was still on the X-Men team, however, the X-Men team itself has changed and now includes Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Storm, Rogue, X-23, Colossus and Ice-Man.

Powers and Abilities
Kitty can phase through any solid objects and shut down any electronics. She has a limit to how long she can stay phased through objects, such as when she once tried to phase a train through another one. Early on, she was very unsure of how to use her powers, such as when she accidentally phased through a locker she was shoved in, but, she soon learned.

Personality
Kitty Pryde was a generally upbeat and cheerful mutant girl. She was considered virtuous in almost all respects. She was a loyal friend, and was always willing to help others in need. She was a straight A student except in gym class.

When she joined the X-Men, she saw herself as a part of a standard asset of the team. Early on during her time with the X-Men, she was both weirded out and amazed by the whole logic of a mutant team to help mutants.

She gave her teammates someone to watch over and teach, specifically Wolverine.

Overtime, she became serious during battles, such as her final battle with Apocalypse, when she had to tell the Scarlet Witch that the Apocalypse-controlled Magneto was not really her father attacking them and when she and Rogue chased after Gambit, she constantly kept questioning Rogue's "plan" while they were stowing away on different cars.

Lance Alvers
Kitty first meet Lance when she accidentally fell onto him when she tried to get out of her locker because two mean girls pushed her into her locker, and when she fell onto Lance he got spray paint on his face while he was vandalizing the school. He convinced her to sneak into the office so he can steal test results.

They went out a few times and were a couple for a while but never really made it a couple. They went to the school dance together, and even though he is an enemy of the X-Men still has a soft spot for Kitty.

Lance once tried to join the X-Men, mostly because he wanted to get close to her. She saw him do the right thing when he told several Xavier Institute Students to stop their then-current joyride on the X-jet.

When Professor X and the others believed he was with the teenagers, she was the first to come to his defense. Before he left the X-Men, Kitty ran up to him and kissed him on the cheek. He smiled and left.

Kurt Wagner
When Kitty first meet Kurt she was a little scared at first and creeped out by the way he kept teleporting around her and how he was in his blue form but when he was knocked out by Rouge she was very worried and when he came to she hugged him and said that everything will be ok and eventually she warmed up to him.

The two developed a closer relationship as seen when they stowed away after Wolverine left on the Blackbird.

Kitty had displayed a level of sarcasm when talking to him, such as when he once asked why a single vehicle was driving so fast while being followed by police cars, for her to respond to him with a clearly sarcastic way that the driver must be driving fast due to the several police cars on his tail. She continued this, though, not as much and definitely not as sarcastic and purposely insulting as her first time doing it.

The two may have also became friends due to their powers both being non-damaging physically or mentally.

She often got into several short arguments with him, sometimes during battles, such as when Jean was controlled by the Phoenix and Kitty phased through one of the levitating and hurtling rocks, only for it to hit Nightcrawler, this angered Nightcrawler, Kitty, however, was not as annoyed due to the fact that she was not injured.

Background
