![]() (As usual, we aren’t assuming a sliding time scale. See the Ageing in the Marvel Universe article for more.) Katherine Pryde - universally nicknamed Kitty ever since she was three - is the daughter of Carmen and Terri Pryde. Carmen, her father, served in the Korean war – apparently whilst underage. Thus, he was probably born in the early 1930s. He thus had his daughter late in life, and it is likely that his wife Theresa is younger than he is by about 10 years. Kitty is still susceptible to becoming solid when startled. But she has already developed the reflex of going intangible nigh-instantly if there’s any sign of an attack. However, states of extreme stress and fatigue can also still prevent her from phasing. Interacting with gasses also allows her to stand or even walk or run on air. She soon learned to climb up or down as if the atmosphere was a stairway. Of course the reverse is true. If she’s solid enough to interact a bit with air she can be affected by toxic gasses, or displaced by very strong winds. She also learned to better interface with gasses, by making herself very slightly material. This allows her to breathe whilst intangible. However she cannot cross sufficiently large masses of solid matter, since she would suffocate from the lack of air within those. ![]() Psychic effects still affect her normally, and exotic forms of energy or matter can be difficult or impossible for her to cross. Exceptionally intense magnetic fields (such as Magneto’s body) will also interact with her – she can disrupt them, but can also be disrupted by them in return.Īriel is vulnerable toward some sonic assaults, but she soon learned to phase though the vast majority of these. Those that can hit her are actually mental attacks in game terms. It’s not uncommon for mental attacks to be described as sonics in comic books, especially when they are tech-based (in game terms, mental attacks are against Will (DCA) or target MIN (DCH)). ![]() Kitty’s mutant power is that she becomes intangible. This process is called “phasing” since she goes out of phase with most matter. In this state she is immune to most forms of physical attack. She can also pass through all forms of solid matter, even very dense ones. Her mental and mystical stats, as well as her Hero Points, are ridiculously high for her age, though. She has genius-level intellect, and her overall mental competency is quite a few sigmas above average, even compared to adults. ![]() Kitty starts this era as a skinny 13 ½ kid. At first she’s hardly athletic, but she takes dancing and gymnastics lessons and gradually develops her prowess. Her modest stature and slightly-above-average agility allow her some degree of stealth even before training. ![]()
