Kitty Pryde Appreciation

[KittyPryde]

I've looked and couldn't find a thread for her, so I decided to use my 20,000th career post for something constructive (so here we are).

Since (at the date of this post), she's out of the mainstream monthly books, there hasn't been much of a place for her fans to come together for discussion and camaraderie. So I figured the fans could use a place for such a purpose (plus a lot of the other X-Women already have one, and she is popular enough to always come in around the #10 spot in overall X-popularity polls :wink: ).

Anything positive, constructive, informative, or even neutral observations are fair game. Feel free to discuss rumors and theories for the future (such as whether it'll be Rachel/Illyana/Lila/whomever that'll eventually save Kitty from her current state, etc), how you'd like to see her change or grow upon her eventual return, favorite past memories, which costume and/or codename was the best or most hideous, writers or artists who had a good handle on her (or didn't), the latest Kitty prints or tees or figurines (hey, just 'cause she's lost in space doesn't mean the merchandising has to stop :tongue: ), or whatever else is on your mind Kitty-wise.

But if you're a Kitty-hater, please make better use of your time and go use your post to instead make a positive comment about your own favorite character in his/her appropriate thread instead of trolling here. Thank you in advance for your compliance.

So here we go....

To start it off, what scenario do you envision for bringing her back to the mainstream monthly books again? How long do you think we're all going to have to wait? Discuss (please)! And feel free to change the subject to something else Kitty-esque if you so desire!

[Kirayoshi]

I'm figuring about two to three years before they bring her back. Roughly the same time frame that passed between Colossus' "death" and his return.

I'd prefer to see the X-Men involved in her return. Maybe SWORD's been monitoring the trajectory of her bullet. Assuming they can get back up to full strength after the whole Skrull fiasco. And we really should find out what happened to Lockheed.

[AcesX1X]

i think kitty is great.

you need visual stimulation to freshen your thread up.

FINALLY. Where's my bitches!?!??!?!

To start it off, what scenario do you envision for bringing her back to the mainstream monthly books again?
The bullet drifts into Shi'ar space. Rachel detects Kitty's presence within the bullet. Tapping into the power of the Phoenix, she pulls Kitty's consciousness free and destroys the bullet.

Kitty shares Rachel's mind until someone (probably Sikorsky) can restore her body. In the meantime, she could help with anti-Vulcan initiative.

i just want You all to know that i adore Kitty Pryde. Definitely one of the most relatable characters in the X-World.

i want Illyana to have something to do with her return. A bummer that Kitty is out of the comics just as Illyana returns. Those two are BFFs. Illyana is also my favorite character.

i will never forget the time they were sitting near a campfire, Lockeed sitting on Illyana's head.

Or the New Mutants slumber party, when Illyana went all out to protect Lockeed while Kitty was away. Those two need more moments like that.


Damn the nineties.

I truthfully am scared that she's going to be brought back as some kind of Widget-like thing since she's becoming one with a magic space bullet.:rolleyes: However, I'd like for her to hook up with either the Rachel and the Shi'ar guy with the sword (whose name I conveniently let slip from my mind) or the GotG.

I don't think she'll be back for a while, because I think Marvel thinks Pixie and Armor can replace her.

On their best day, Pixie and Armor cannot match Kitty Pryde on her worst day.

Sorry...thats how it is!

Anole always reminded me a bit of Kitty Pryde: smart, precocious, youthful, a bit wide-eyed, a tad moody, loyal.

Armor has a cool power and no significant personality traits. Pixie can be mildly amusing, and that is really it. If they were wanting to go with the whole youth/mentor route....Anole would have been a more interesting choice.

i miss Kitty already :) She brings a lot to the group. At this point...i really do think that Jean is the focal point in the X-Offices.

Personality-wise, I agree about Anole. He'll just never capture my heart the way Kitty did.

Yeah. I've been missing her since before she caught the bullet train. I just didn't care much for the way she was being used for about a year before that. I think Jean is about the only one I can accept being a focal point more than Kitty (well, I might settle for the real Darkstar).

And how sucky is it that Kitty's not going to be around for Yana's return?:frown:

[Justin K.]

I miss the friendship between Storm and Kitty, the one they had from the 80s :frown: Why don't current writers acknowledge it? (glad there was some mention in World's Apart)

i never thought a character could at this point...but Anole has captured my heart. He is my favorite character from the youth team. What a kid :). It is really the same reason why i like Kitty..i feel he is the most relatable and approachable....especially on a team with X-23, Surge, Hellion, Elixir, and the other emonauts!

Darkstar! You love D-List Darkstar! You deserve a soul butter-knife..straight from Limbo's kitchen!

Yes....Kitty not there for Illyana's return....shucks. i am still miffed that Wolverine has a bigger role in it than the New Mutants. For friggin sake.

[psycwave]

Who doesn't love Bullet Pryde!!!!

[Kirayoshi]

The bullet drifts into Shi'ar space. Rachel detects Kitty's presence within the bullet. Tapping into the power of the Phoenix, she pulls Kitty's consciousness free and destroys the bullet.

Kitty shares Rachel's mind until someone (probably Sikorsky) can restore her body. In the meantime, she could help with anti-Vulcan initiative.I still say Kitty becomes the next Phoenix.

Think about it; Jean sacrificed herself to save her teammates inside the tip(control room) of a missile(space shuttle) headed for Earth, and emerged as the Phoenix(okay, she was replaced by the Phoenix and was left on the ocean floor for a few years. Details, details!). Kitty sacrificed herself to save the world inside the tip(nosecone) of a missile(giant bullet) headed for Earth. Striking parallel?

Alternate idea: Rachel waits until the bullet crashes into Vulcan, then frees Kitty. Two birds, one damn big stone!

[Kirayoshi]

http://1407graymalkin.com/Images/uxm168/uxm168p1.jpg

Ironically, this has become the official policy among the X-Men.

[Bingo!]

When I was young and impressionable this card made me fall in love with Kitty.

Darkstar! You love D-List Darkstar! You deserve a soul butter-knife..straight from Limbo's kitchen!
I love all Russian characters (and Slavs)... especially when they're female. If there were a Winter Guard series, I'd buy multiple copies of each issue. I've got it so bad for Russian characters that I even miss Blind Faith!

Maybe the bullet could head for the M'Kraan planet, strike the crystal, and Kitty could phase the sucker back together saving everybody.

[Babylon23]

Love Kitty. She's easily my favourite x-character. My first issue of Uncanny was actually Kitty's first appearance, so she became my POV character into the x-universe.

Some art. Here's John Byrne's letter from 1978 to Chris Claremont featuring conceptual art and character ideas:

I'd hate to say it but the best angle I could see would be amnesiac Kitty on an alien world. Accessible for the X-Men these days since Havok is in space doing.... something? I'd rather not go into details about the bullet when bringing her back. Because then I'd have to write a story involving a giant magic super bullet and not laugh myself to death or otherwise blow my brains out.

Returning to the crux of the point, I'd play her as something to Havok as Storm was to Cyclops. The two competing leaders of the X-Men forces. Probably just have her leader/icon to a primitive alien race, perhaps paralleling to the way Storm was a goddess in Africa. Vulcan comes in. Kitty fights. Havok somehow meets up. Kitty gets enough to be Kitty Pryde, but not everything. And now people have a real X-Men character to look at in space. (not the biggest Havok, Polaris, Rachel Grey fan)

[KittyPryde]

I'd prefer to see the X-Men involved in her return. Maybe SWORD's been monitoring the trajectory of her bullet. Assuming they can get back up to full strength after the whole Skrull fiasco. And we really should find out what happened to Lockheed.
Agreed on Lockheed! I really want to know the rest of the little purple guy's story (even if it's a mini). I'd like to think SWORD was paying attention, but think they're too understaffed and uncaring to bother :frown: .

The bullet drifts into Shi'ar space. Rachel detects Kitty's presence within the bullet. Tapping into the power of the Phoenix, she pulls Kitty's consciousness free and destroys the bullet.
Yeah, I too figure that they'll use Rachel-in-space as a convenience tool to pull of something like the above (I just hope it's a full body and not just a consciousness....kind of like when Rachel got rescued from Bogan). I'd rather it be Illyana, 'cause I'm just DYING for some Magik/Kitty interaction/reunion, but recognize on a power level (for the un-fusion) that Ray makes more sense.

[KittyPryde]

I want Illyana to have something to do with her return. A bummer that Kitty is out of the comics just as Illyana returns. Those two are BFFs. Illyana is also my favorite character. i will never forget the time they were sitting near a campfire, Lockeed sitting on Illyana's head. Or the New Mutants slumber party, when Illyana went all out to protect Lockeed while Kitty was away. Those two need more moments like that. Damn the nineties.
Ooooo! Yet another fellow Magik fan! Hooray! Both of those are great memory lane clips! That's what I always loved the most about the X-Men was those small interludes (like the campfire) or the off-kilter stories (like the slumber party). You can keep your big full out space armada stories as far as I'm concerned... bring me humanity, personal interaction (and some soap opera)!

I truthfully am scared that she's going to be brought back as some kind of Widget-like thing since she's becoming one with a magic space bullet. However, I'd like for her to hook up with either the Rachel and the Shi'ar guy with the sword (whose name I conveniently let slip from my mind) or the GotG. I don't think she'll be back for a while, because I think Marvel thinks Pixie and Armor can replace her.
OMG please NOOOOOO on the Widget-thing! I so hope that doesn't happen! I'm hoping that editorial continues to see Kitty as past the teen-sidekick role, so there's no tripping over Pixie/Armor/Anole/etc. Kitty was a member of faculty at the school for goodness sake...so "Ms Pryde" (to the students) is certainly advanced enough in age and experience to leave the newbie in-over-my-head mutant status to one of the remaining newer New Mutant kids.

She'll be back before Jean! lol
Thank goodness for small favors! :smile:

[KittyPryde]

And how sucky is it that Kitty's not going to be around for Yana's return?
MAJORLY sucky! :frown: I've been awaiting Magik's return for so long...it just BITES that Kitty isn't around to take part (as you just know the reunion would be FANTASTIC!)

I miss the friendship between Storm and Kitty, the one they had from the 80s :frown: Why don't current writers acknowledge it? (glad there was some mention in World's Apart)
I too miss that... In fact, about the only part of the Storm/Black Panther wedding I enjoyed was the Kitty-as-maid-of-honor stuff (and the little bit of interaction a la the old friendship you referenced; nice scan!) Maybe if Storm comes back down to earth a little instead of being so hoity toity on worldwide big picture stuff, we'll get that back some day *wishful thinking ensues*

I still say Kitty becomes the next Phoenix. Think about it; Jean sacrificed herself to save her teammates inside the tip(control room) of a missile(space shuttle) headed for Earth, and emerged as the Phoenix(okay, she was replaced by the Phoenix and was left on the ocean floor for a few years. Details, details!). Kitty sacrificed herself to save the world inside the tip(nosecone) of a missile(giant bullet) headed for Earth. Striking parallel? Alternate idea: Rachel waits until the bullet crashes into Vulcan, then frees Kitty. Two birds, one damn big stone!
Interesting comparision! Hadn't really thought of that (perhaps because self-sacrifice is such a big part of hero-dom). I just hope that she doesn't become Phoenix... I like my Kitty grounded in worldly everyday stuff rather than cosmic spacey stuff (and Jean & Rachel and Emma/Cuckoos to a minor extent are more than enough Phoenixey stuff for me).

[Joe Acro]

Agreed on Lockheed! I really want to know the rest of the little purple guy's story (even if it's a mini). I'd like to think SWORD was paying attention, but think they're too understaffed and uncaring to bother :frown:Well, he supposedly had a "homeworld problem" (which, given his history, I can only assume relates to his exile). It would be nice to know the details, but I imagine it could be something as simple as him needing to return home to get something or help with something.

Yeah, I too figure that they'll use Rachel-in-space as a convenience tool to pull of something like the above (I just hope it's a full body and not just a consciousness....kind of like when Rachel got rescued from Bogan).
I like the idea of them sharing a consciousness better because it adds something to the space story. Just an extra dynamic in a fairly plain story. Plus, it gives the excuse to use Sikorsky.:biggrin:

[Dagger]

I heart Kitty Pryde! She's my favorite X-Man ever! I miss her so much. The magic bullet ride I hope will only last for maybe a year, at most. I think it's one of the most rediculous things to happen to a character in like forever.

That image is rather interesting, as it sounds like Kitty was meant to be one of the founders of the New Mutants.

I wonder why that changed.

From Byrne's notes, it seems like this was an idea that they were slowly developing, but one that hadn't realy evolved into a full fledged storyline yet. At the time, Jim Shooter had apparently asked all of the creators to establish exactly what their books were about. Byrne and Claremont saw the X-Men as a book about a disenfranchised minority who were hated by the people they sought to protect, whereas Shooter believed there should be more emphasis on the school element of the series. So Kitty was created with this in mind.

Of course, she appeared just as the X-Men were heading into what are arguably their two most important storyline ever, and certainly the most important fo the Claremont/Byrne era: Dark Phoenix and Days of Future Past. Other than Kitty, I don't think there was any place for additional new students in those stories, and Byrne left shortly after DoFP.

A few years later, Claremont and Bob McLeod created the New Mutants, but by that point, Kitty was an integral part of the X-Men. There were even a couple of stories written to highlight this very point, including the classic "Professor Xavier is a Jerk" issue.

Personally, I'm glad Kitty remained in the X-Man.

[RED KING]

i miss when kitty used to experiment with different looks.

why did she stop?

(i think nightcrawler said something mean to her about it one day.)

I think that little incident with the Marauders kinda made her "grow-up" and quit "playing dress-up" if you will. Also, that last tweak of her last X-men costume into her early Excalibur one was a solid hit. And she proabably went with an attitude of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" for a while.

[KittyPryde]

A little something for fellow Kitty fans....coming in June (but already solicited via pre-order)... a Kotobukiya Kitty Pryde bust (other X-Men available as well....Cyclops, Havok, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus and Wolverine already solicited as well, more I'm sure to come).

Nice to see a Kitty piece without Lockheed for a change (as much as I love the little purple dragon, some variety is nice!), and calling back on such an important part of her history (even if she looks a bit old for when the actual Ogun mask escapades took place). I'm so happy, I've already ordered two! :D

(Thanks to Statue Forum's Kotobukiya Kitty Pryde Bust Thread (http://www.statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=79555) for the pics.....some of the better detail/thread-sized/angle-variety ones I've seen to date)

She looks a bit odd from the side, I think. And from the front she doesn't so much look like herself, but as if the statue is imitating someone. An actress? Model? Different character? I can't place it.

Overall, though, quite a nice job.

[Kirayoshi]

At the expense of nitpicking, why are her eyes green? I always thought they were hazel.

Still, a very cool looking bust.

They are hazel, and she doesn't have boobs!

Those are my 2 complaints about the mini bust, other than that it looks great.

[KittyPryde]

At the expense of nitpicking, why are her eyes green? I always thought they were hazel.
Hazel eyes can look green sometimes and brown at other times (depending on lighting, outfit, etc). So it's all within range of sorts (and perhaps the final product will have a bit more brown tint to it...or it could be the photo too...or it could be that perhaps they are a bit too green).

(And yes, they should be hazel).

[soul_eater]

Yes, finally found the appreciation thread!

I miss Kitty and even though I love "Wolverine First Class", it’s not enough I want her back with the team.

I was wondering that with the SWORD series coming out, that they might bring back Kitty sooner than expected (maybe also doing it for keeping the sales up for the series).

It would be great, even though I want Colossus, Magik, Wolverine, Storm and Emma to be part of the rescue mission.

[soul_eater]

Hey. Why was Kitty not in the Original X-Men Animated Series?
Because of Jubilee, she was on the main team (or one of them) back then in the comics, and they apparently can't have two young girls in one show, especially since they have the same role on the team.

Jubilee was also kind of another version of Kitty back in the day, when Kitty was away in Excalibur.

Ok Litterers: What is your favorite issue(s) featuring Kitty Pryde; and why do you hold these in such high regards?

[Bamf25]

I will always will have a soft spot for Kitty's fairy Tail (Uncanny X-Men issue 153).

[coveredinbees]

Uncanny 208-210
Best Rachel story.

[Talisman]

^^Uncanny X-Men #129. Her first appearance. Because it's her first, duh!
Uncanny X-Men #143. She held her own against a N'Garai demon and lived.
Uncanny X-Men # 161. Where Illyana becomes Magik, and we see the beginnings of their friendship. I'm not sure of how I should really answer these.

[Personamanx]

As Someone who Royally Loved Whedon's Astonishing, I would pretty much say every issue of it has an Excellent Kitty Moment.

The Issue of Uncanny (I don't know the Number because I got it in an Unnumbered Digest) where The X-Men First meet the New Mutants, and Kitty is supposed to kill the Brood Professor.

[soul_eater]

Hard question, but I liked her a lot in her short appearance in the phoenix saga, when she first became and x-men and issue 143. But I loved issue 174 of Uncanny X-Men, where she tricks Piotr. Hmm... It must be issue 174

[pryde15]

Uncanny X-Men #168, this is when I fell in love with Kitty. I found her so endearing, and so real when it came to dealing with with this situation. I still don't like Lockheed, I wish he had never shown up.

Other issues would be Magik: featuring Illyana & Storm, where we got to see another side of Kitty (or Cat) and when push comes to shove she is hardcore!

Also Kitty Pryde & Wolverine, so cute!

View her as Snow-white, she is not really dead, and it’s not really a resurrection, only a rescue.

Im sorry. I just can't think that way. To me she's dead (Despite me on the other Page saying the Contrary). If they bring her back in a Well-written way I'll be happy, but I'll see it as another ressurection.

[Lintu]

X-men, she belongs there, and she would create a great team dynamic with them.

True but at the momenet i wonder if it is the best place for her.

[pryde15]

In response to the Forever, in recent years Claremont seems to believe that every female character must be bad ass. Which of course ruins and mocks the years of work he had invested in Kitty & Psylocke.

[Kirayoshi]

When they bring Kitty back do you guys want her back with the X men or go wider in the marvel universe
I'd like her to take a look at what Scott's done with the team post-Utopia, decide that Scott's turned into Magneto 2.0 and tell him such in no uncertain terms. She should then start her own team(either with Colossus or without, depending on his attitude toward Scott) and get her own title called "X-Men: Old School".

I don't see all of the X-Men agreeing with Scott's current plans. He is honestly doing what he feels is best for the mutant population, but I can't believe that there isn't a dissenting voice in all this. He needs someone to disagree with him, he needs an opposition leader who is not a villain, and Kitty(herself a potential leader and a poli-sci major) would be an ideal choice for that role.

[yanapryde]

Given the circumstances around Kitty's poor father's death, I'm not sure Kitty would be keen on this relocation.

[pryde15]

There aren't many places she could fit in, now that Osborn is controlling the MU. Unless she went all Dark Phoenix or something.

[Kirayoshi]

Given the circumstances around Kitty's poor father's death, I'm not sure Kitty would be keen on this relocation.
I know she'd hate it. I remember her line regarding the X-Men in the Mekanix mini-series; "I'm Jewish. I don't like the idea of ghettos." She'd see Scott's X-Nation would be a self-imposed mutant ghetto. One that someone like Osborn or Stryker could easily drop a very large bomb on without too much difficulty.

Have I stated yet that I think Scott's idea, well-meaning though it may be, is the dumbest thing he's ever done?

Okay, favourite Kitty appearances: Uncanny X-Men #129 hold a special place in my heart. Not only was it Kitty's first appearance, but it was the first issue of Uncanny that I ever read. Probably explains why I'm such a Kitty Litterer.

Also, who doesn't love Kitty's fairytale:

http://wpcontent.answers.com/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/77/Crawlerbamf.jpg/200px-Crawlerbamf.jpg

In relation to Claremont's plans in Forever, I'm really interested to see where he's going with this. Nobody writes Kitty better than Claremont IMO. As for making her bad ass, well, Kitty's been bad ass since the Kitty Pryde and Wolverine miniseries back in the 80's. This just seems like an extension of that story to me. Kitty's ninja trained remember. Plus her close friend and father figure Wolverine has just been murdered, so it's not surprising that she's getting edgier.

Another trade with good Kitty was the "Shadow and Flame" mini. Inoffensive Yoshida story with gorgeous Paul Smith art, Kitty kicking ass and beaucoup Lockheed. Highly recommended Kitty Litter reading!

Cyclops takes a voyage into the head of Emma Frost in hopes of containing the horrifying piece of the villainous Void that has been stuck there since UTOPIA.

And Wolverine and a classic pal take one of the craziest journies you’ve ever seen. Parts 4 and 5 (of 8).

Maybe, Wolverine has like 35+ close friends in the Marvel universe, so it could almost be anybody.

[soul_eater]

With Jubilee returning, how big is the cast now?

More than 20?

[pryde15]

Do you guys think Kitty might return?

UNCANNY X-MEN #518 & #519
Written by MATT FRACTION
Penciled by TERRY DODSON
Covers by TERRY DODSON (#518) & GREG LAND (#519)
Cyclops takes a voyage into the head of Emma Frost in hopes of containing the horrifying piece of the villainous Void that has been stuck there since UTOPIA. Can they possibly defeat the awfulness that has haunted the most powerful being in the Marvel U? Tensions are rising on Utopia as the X-Men deal with the new members of their team and the fact that the island is…well…sinking. And Wolverine and a classic pal take one of the craziest journies you’ve ever seen. Parts 4 and 5 (of 8).
32 PGS. (EACH)/Rated T+ …$2.99 (EACH)


I believe it must be Jubilee, but then again I'm not optimistic at the moment.

That doesn't seem like the type of solicit we would see for her return. I am expecting Jubes.

Also those thighs look bulging in that Super-Hero Squad image. LOL.

It is Fraction, though.

[pryde15]

It is Fraction, though.

I doubt it, Fraction would be hyping this like a mutha. Everything that he has written so far has been overhyped (Betsy's return, Utopia, etc. etc.) there is no way the solicit wouldn't mention someone being back from the dead.

[Kirayoshi]

It definitely will not be Kitty, but I have my doubts of it being Jubilee as well.
As much as I love Kitty, I hope it isn't. Seriously, I don't want Kitty back in the X-Men until both Matt Fraction and Greg Land are permanently replaced on the title. Terry Dodson can stay, he's done good by Kitty before(the Pryde and Wisdom mini).

My prediction; sometime in 2010, there'll be a Starjammers mini where the Rachel and the team find the Breakworld Bullet speeding toward the Fault, and have to stop it to a) save Kitty and b) prevent it from ripping the Fault any wider. Once they save Kitty, we can have her either joining the Starjammers, or returning to Earth and refusing an offer to rejoin the X-Men. Colossus can then be torn between loyalty to the team and his love for Kitty.

[soul_eater]

I don't know if that is a good idea. As far as I know, the starjammers aren't doing much these days.

[Kirayoshi]

I don't know if that is a good idea. As far as I know, the starjammers aren't doing much these days.
According to the solicits, they figure prominently in Realm of Kings: Imperial Guard. They'll probably show up in Guardians of the Galaxy or Nova before finally returning to Earth, or they'll finally get their own monthly.

Either way, at least Kitty won't be stuck doing her impression of Han Solo at the end of The Empire Strikes Back!

I wish for kitty but the reality is it is most likely Jubile as fraction has said she will be in uncanny soon.

There are some real nice pieces of art in this thread. Keep them coming :smile:

That would be a good idea to bring them all back home but I think Kitty will be back long before the other X-Men in space.

I have to disagree with you, this picture is creepy as hell.
http://www.fanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/kittyjonathan.jpg

But according to the style she does look good I guess.


Sweet kitty

Best Kitty Pryde costume?

http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/7207/kittyv.jpg

I always liked her blue and yellow best, it was simple and Kitty was the only one who pulled it off well.
I prefered how it looked in astonishing though, with the lower part being all dark blue. I like her ponytail better too.

But that costume didn't have whale tail. This one is clearly better.

[Kirayoshi]

I was always partial to the all-blue job that Arthur Adams created for her when she officially changed her name to Shadowcat. Especially when drawn by Alan Davis.

Actually, I remember seeing a sketchpage back in the day that featured several of Arthur Adams' Shadowcat designs. I especially liked one I remember that had sort of an aviator top(with a flap buttoned to the shoulder, kinda like the Star Trek II uniforms) and a pale blue silk scarf around her neck. That looked classy.

[coveredinbees]

I colored it for you. Do you like it?

Hey pryde, I just read the issue of Uncanny where Magik dies of the Legacy Virus. In that issue, Jubilee and Kitty become friends!

ZOMG! But then Prodigy posted the scan of Jubilee calling out Kitty for being a bitch.... in a Wolverine issue. Tricky tricky.

That was before. Jubilee decides that kitty isn't as bad as she always thought she was. Jubilee was just scared of being replaced when Kitty came back.

I find this acceptable and prefer Kitty/Jubes besties to Kitty/Illyana. Canon.

Jubilee thinks Kitty Pryde is fat. CANON. sorry sorry sorry

Jubilee thinks Kitty Pryde is fat.

Kitty Pryde has birthing hips, theres a difference. Don't come in her misconstruing the truth, get'cho shit together!

[Prodigy55]

Kitty Pryde's real friend is a 7 year old witch girl. Stick with it.

Shortpack. he was the reigning Connect Four champion at the institute before Kitty came along. he remains disillusioned.

[yanapryde]

This saddens me.
And don't get me wrong, I don't hate Jubilee. She spent a considerable amount of time watching over Illyana in her last few hours but.....Illy's and Kitty's bond is so much stronger. :smile:

[Kirayoshi]

Who is Kitty's nemesis? Deadpool?
Real answer: Ogun. He appeared in Kitty Pryde/Wolverine, Kitty Pryde, Agent of SHIELD and Kitty Pryde; Shadow and Flame as the main villain in all three.

[Perfection/Emma 2]
