At the age of thirteen, Kitty started suffering from intense recurring headaches, soon followed by the emergence of her mutant power - the ability (called "phasing") to become intangible and walk through solid matter. A headache (medically known as cephalgia) is a condition of mild to severe pain in the head; sometimes neck or upper back pain may also be interpreted as a headache. ...

Shortly thereafter, Pryde was approached by both Professor Charles Francis Xavier and the Hellfire Club's White Queen, Emma Frost. Taking an instant dislike to the White Queen, she chose to go with Xavier. When Emma kidnapped Xavier and the X-Men, Kitty helped fight to free them. Proving herself in this battle, she joined the X-Men, becoming one of the youngest members ever. Her parents, particularly her father, objected to this but Jean Grey used her telepathy to 'convince' them otherwise. This slip in Grey's ethics was one of the first indications of the Dark Phoenix persona's growth in her mind. Unaware of the manipulation, Kitty went to Westchester.

Initially wearing an old-style X-Men uniform, Kitty took the codename "Sprite." Later dressing in more brightly-colored outfits she called herself "Ariel". From the time of their first meeting, she developed a crush on her teammate Colossus. Her initial reaction to Nightcrawler, however, was much less positive. Terrified of his nightmarish appearance, Kitty avoided him whenever possible and flinched whenever he spoke to her. Undeterred, Kurt patiently continued trying to make friends as he "Liked her too much to give up." It was not until an encounter with the lonely Morlock mutant Caliban (an outcast even among outcasts) that she realized her attitude about appearances was childish. Consequently, Kitty and Kurt became the best of friends and have remained constant even when all their other friends died, abandoned them or were scattered across the globe and/or various parallel universes.

Her best friend during these early years was Colossus's younger sister Illyana who, at age seven, was kidnapped from her home in Russia by the jokester assassin-for-hire Arcade. Freeing her, the X-Men took her back to the X-mansion where she was again stolen. This time by the demonic sorcerer Belasco and held in the extradimensional realm known as Limbo. Since time passed more quickly in Limbo than on the Earthly plane, Illyana seemingly spent almost seven years there as Belasco's apprentice in dark magic while mere seconds passed on Earth. She eventually escaped and became Kitty's roommate and a member of the New Mutants. Because of their strong rapport, Kitty would inherit Illyana's Soul Sword, the ultimate expression of Illyana's mystical abilities, if Illyana died or otherwise ceased to exist.

One of Kitty's earliest adventures with the X-Men involved their kidnapping by the non-humanoid alien race known as the Brood. During this adventure in outer space, Kitty's life was saved by a small alien dragon whom she named Lockheed, who has been her frequent companion since. Kitty and Colossus began a romantic relationship upon their return to Earth. Professor X, in the X-Men's absence, had created a sister team of younger mutants called the New Mutants whom he did not intend to combat other mutants. He intended to place Kitty in that group when she returned to Earth but Kitty, calling the New Mutants "X-Babies" (not to be confused with the team of miniature X-Men created by Mojo, the X-Babies) , convinced Xavier to allow her to remain a full member of the X-Men.

During the 1985 Kitty Pryde and Wolverine miniseries, Kitty became possessed by the demon ninja, Ogun. While in Japan investigating her father, who she rightly suspected as being caught up in a bit of organized crime, Kitty was brainwashed by Ogun into thinking she was his assassin. Ogun bestowed upon Kitty a virtual lifetime of martial arts training and sent her to kill fellow X-Man, Wolverine, himself a former pupil of Ogun. Now calling herself Shadowcat, Kitty was able to resist Ogun's influence with Wolverine's help and a bit of tough love. Kitty and Wolverine defeated Ogun and in the process formed a strong teacher/student bond with each other which remains to this day.

She was eventually cured in the Fantastic Four Versus the X-Men miniseries with the help of both Doctor Doom and Mr. Fantastic.

It was during her time with Excalibur that Kitty inherited the Soul Sword following the events of the Inferno storyline, during which Illyana's time in Limbo had been erased from existence, her demonic form ceased to exist and she was returned to the age she was prior to her kidnapping by Belasco. With the Soul Sword came dominion over Limbo. Kitty eventually lost the Soul Sword and Limbo when Doctor Doom attempted to steal it from her, but his plans were thwarted by the being known as Darkoth.

Kitty officially passed her fifteenth birthday while a member of Excalibur but it's possible she is actually older due to the unknown (but certainly long) amount of time she spent traveling through dimensions during Excalibur's Cross Time Caper. An adventure which flung the team away from their own Earth and through countless alternative Earths by way of a train powered by the dimension-hopping robot Widget and Rachel Summer's Phoenix powers. It is assumed, therefore, that she was of a proper age to begin a relationship with the older man.

Eventually, Excalibur disbanded and Kitty ended her relationship with Wisdom. She returned to the X-Men, but left again after the apparent death of Colossus.

Powers and abilities

Shadowcat possesses the ability to "phase" or literally pass through solid matter by passing her atoms through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which she is moving. As she does not physically walk on surfaces in this form, but rather the molecules of air above them, she is able to ascend and descend by walking on air molecules akin to steps. While phasing, she is intangible and thus invulnerable to physical attacks and telepaths have a hard time reaching her mind in phased form. However the density of certain materials, such as the hull of the alien Ord's ship, may prove deleterious to her phasing, causing her to be severely disoriented if she tries to pass through. Her phasing powers also disrupt any electronic equipment she passes through. For some time after she discovered her powers, she was only able to phase herself and her clothes along with her. However, she quickly learned to phase other people and objects with her.

Real-life Kitty Pryde

John Byrne named Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde after a classmate he met in art school in Calgary in 1973. He reportedly told his colleague that he liked her name and asked permission to use it for his first original comic character. The real-life Pryde agreed, thinking nothing would ever come of the agreement, but was later so overwhelmed by Shadowcat fans after the publication of the X-Men comics that she abbreviated her name to K.D. Pryde to avoid association with her fictional counterpart. She has since stated that she has mixed feelings about her fame, saying that she values Byrne's comics for their entertainment and artistic value but wishes that more people would appreciate her as more than just Shadowcat's namesake.

In an attempt to alter the past, the remaining X-Men, along with Rachel Summers, Franklin Richards and Magneto worked together to send the consciousness of the now-adult Kate Pryde back in time to inhabit the body of her younger self, who had just joined the X-Men. Kate Pryde worked with the X-Men of the present to prevent the assassination. Once this was accomplished, her consciousness returned to her own time, where she discovered that she had not altered history, merely created another timeline.

She came to rest in a small metal, off-spherical body (built by Tweedledope of the Crazy Gang) in the timeline Rachel resided in and was known as Widget. Her mind scrambled by the "interference" from other timelines she felt, she was amnesiac and went about everything with a child-like glee, and inadvertently took Excalibur (including Rachel) through a number of alternate timelines in a so-called "Cross-Time Caper". After this, Roma had her locked to the Marvel Universe timeline, preventing her from moving far from it. This began to clear her mind, and she reconstructed her body. After this, Rachel (who had recovered her full memory), Widget and Excalibur returned to Rachel's original timeline and successfully reprogrammed the ruling Sentinels to protect all life, ending their tyranny.

Age of Apocalypse

In the hellish alternate reality called the Age of Apocalypse, Shadowcat did not get to have a fun carefree life. She grew up under harsh circumstances and her nature reflected it. She has short hair, tight clothes, and is a chain smoker. Her parents were killed in the Chicago Culls and she was forcibly recruited into Apocalypse's army by Sabretooth, but was rescued by Colossus. Magneto put Shadowcat under Logan's training so she would become the X-Men's ghost assassin. Kate became a warrior, even donning a pair of metallic retractable claws, and along with Colossus, now her husband, became the teacher of Generation Next after Colossus had refused to continue the war for Xavier's dream. Despite being of a similar age of her trainees, Shadowcat's training was extremely harsh.

Ultimate Shadowcat

In the Ultimate Marvel continuity, Kitty Pryde was one of the first additions to the core X-Men group. She was the only child of Theresa Pryde, a strong, independent woman who is hinted to have brought up Kitty alone. Kitty had a long-standing crush on Spider-Man which was recently fulfilled in the Ultimate Spider-Man Annual #1, where they hooked up after ending their relationships with their respective ex-partners, Iceman (Bobby Drake) and Mary Jane Watson. In USM #87, Kitty and Peter are dating for the first time in the "real" comic. Brian Michael Bendis, writer of Ultimate Spider-Man, plans to continue with Kitty as a supporting character in USM. [4]. Issue 66 of Ultimate X-Men showed Kitty and Spidey on a date. This issue reveals that they spend much of their time hunting criminals to beat up. This effectively makes Kitty his crime-fighting partner. However, the next issue shows a singular panel involving the two, where they passionately kiss, showing that the probable reason the two fight crime is to keep their relationship to themselves, and still be seen together in public without questions arising, though Kitty eventually adopts a full masked costume to fight crime with Spider-Man so when seen with Peter Parker, people will be less likely to figure it out.

When the X-Men are kidnapped by the supervillain Deadpool and his team of Reavers, Kitty sent an X-Plane to Spider-Man for help. Spider-Man boards the plane and is taken to the X-Mansion, where he, too, is subdued and kidnapped. The X-Men and Spider-Man are taken to Krakoa where they fight Deadpool and the Reavers on Genoshan television. Because their entire fight is televised, their romantic relationship is revealed to the world. While this causes the two to rank as a "Hot Couple", it effectively prevents them from being able to date without compromising Peter's secret identity. This is shown to place a strain on their relationship, though both characters insist that they wish to continue dating. When Peter Parker is confronted by his ex-girlfriend, Mary Jane, with a picture of he and Shadowcat together, he admits that he is not in love with Kitty but that he is "working on it".
