explore the comic book origins of Kitty
Pryde of the x-men let’s go
as with most comic book characters
they’re often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we have
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
which unfolded in 1980s uncanny x-men
number 129 to 131 which was expanded
upon in 2000’s x-men Declassified number
one I’m the wrong guy to play hard and
see who’s hiding who dickhead
Kitty Pryde has assumed a few different
alter egos over the years but shadow cat
is the one that she’s most often known
by still it’s her birth name that
resonates the most with readers as it
was as Kitty Pryde that the world met
her in uncanny x-men numbers 129 to 131
when that issue began the x-men were
returning from a mission on Muir Island
upon their return they were thrilled to
discover that Professor X who had been
away had returned home Professor X soon
let the team know that two new mutants
had been located and must be contacted
unbeknownst to the professor members of
the mysterious Hellfire Club led by the
powerful mutant white queen were also
keen to intercept these newly identified
mutants Professor X went with Colossus
storm and Wolverine to Chicago in order
to meet one of these subjects of
interest a thirteen year old girl named
Catherine Pryde Kitty as she was
commonly called came home from a dance
class to find her parents talking to
Emma Frost
aka White Queen about future school
options Kitty had been suffering from a
severe headache which got worse when she
realized that this discussion with Emma
Frost was related to her parents plans
for divorce alone in her room she laid
down on her bed and opened her eyes to
find herself suddenly in her living room
later Professor X and his x-men arrived
in disguise to also talk with Kitty and
her parents about an opening at their
school storm Colossus and Wolverine
accompanied Kitty to a local malt shop
where storm revealed that Kitty was in
fact in the company of the x-men when
they were suddenly attacked Petey was
hurled against a wall and somehow passed
through it to the alley outside she
realized that she had somehow developed
the ability to phase or pass through
solid matter the x-men were defeated and
captured by the white queen but Kitty
used her newfound power to try to rescue
them storm managed to give Kitty a phone
number
call which enabled her to contact the
other x-men working with them kid he
helped rescue the captured x-men proving
her mettle in the thick of battle not
bad for a new recruit back home Kitty’s
parents were initially angry that their
daughter had mysteriously disappeared
but Jean Grae used her mind-control
powers to defuse their anger by the end
of the issue it was clear that Kitty
would soon be joining Professor X’s
private school and embarking on a career
as a member of the x-men okay like
everybody grab onto me I’ll get us out
yes kitty it is a gift and you’ve used
it well although kitty grew and
developed her character over the years
her origin story has remained basically
unchanged one exception is a development
shown in 2000’s x-men Declassified
number one in this issue
Wolverine viewed a hologram which seemed
to indicate that Kitty is in neo a
member of a subspecies of mutants
however there is considerable doubt as
to the validity of this hologram and
therefore to Kitty’s possible link to
the Neo race
Kitty Pryde has made her presence felt
outside the world of comics through her
appearances in various x-men TV series
and films she’s a character with which
many people can identify and her phasing
power makes her an awesome character to
watch in battle
