The girl who walked through walls and into the heart of the X-Men. Kitty joined at thirteen and grew up in front of the readers, from wide-eyed teenager to confident hero to eventual leader. Her power to phase through solid matter is deceptively simple; her determination, intelligence, and refusal to back down from anything are what make her extraordinary. Claremont wrote her as the reader's surrogate; she became something greater.
