Shadow Cat (Kitty Pryde)

Being  a  genius  at  a  young  age, Kitty  Pryde  was   used  to  not  fitting  in  with  others.  But  nothing  could  prepare  her  for  the  day  her  mutant  powers  emerged.   She  would  frequently  get  very  strong  headaches,  an  effect  of  her  new  emerging  powers.  During one  of  her  most  painful  headaches  yet,  she  went  upstairs  to  lie  down  when  she  suddenly  found  herself  on  the  first  floor of  her  house.  Kitty  soon  learned  she  had  the  ability  to  phase  through  solid  matter  by  rearranging  the  atoms in  her  body.  She  could  also  use  this  ability  to  make  others  permeable  too.

  Shortly  after  these  powers  emerged,  she  was  contacted  by  two  groups. The  Hellfire  club  and  Professor Xavier  himself.  The  Hellfire  club  was  a sketchy  group  of  people  who  used  their powers  to  gain  prominence  and  wealth.  Professor  Xavier  encouraged  her  to  come  to  his  school  for  mutants  were  she  could  learn  more  about  her  powers  and  how  to  control  them.  When  you  love  school  as  much  as  kitty,  how  could  you  nit  be  excited!?  She  then   became  the  youngest  X  men  on  the  team.

  As  a  X  men  she  started  a  tentative  romance  with  her  teammate,  Colossus,  which  would  develop  into   an  unseperable  love  as  the  years  of  fighting  along  each others  side  continued.  On  many  of  her  missions  she  also  came  into  contact  with  a  small  extraterrestrial  dragon  who  she  named  Lockheed.  He  saved  her  on  numerous  occasions  and  soon  became  just  like  another  X  men.  He  may  be  small but  he  certainly  is  deadly!

  A  virus  that  targeted  mutants  was  later  developed  in  an  effort  to  wipe  them  out  of  existence.  Colossus sacrificed  his  life  in  order  to  develop  a  cure  for  other  mutants.  Mourning  the  loss  of  her  special  friend,  Kitty  left  the  X men.  She  began  trying  to  live  a  normal  life,  but  her  personality  would  flare  up  and  she  would  come  in  conflict  with  anti-mutant  groups  often.  Later  it  was  found  out  that  Colossus  was  not  really  dead  and  Kitty  rejoined  the  X men.  They  quickly  rekindled  their  love  although  both  of  them  had  gone  through  terrible  hardships.  As  the    youngest  of  the  original  X  men, Shadow  Cat  has  plenty  of  experience  and  is  a  very  valuable  asset  on  any  team.
