text: Kitty Pryde last edited by wkndnexile on 11/15/21 03:42PM View full history OriginYoung Kitty PrydeKitty was born in Deerfield, Illinois. When she was 13 years old, she began getting headaches which were the result of her mutant powers starting to manifest. Both the Hellfire Club and Professor X pursued Kitty to get her to join their cause. Kitty did not like Emma Frost or her attitude which made Kitty feel uncomfortable around her. It was an easy decision for Kitty to go with Xavier and the few X-Men accompanying him. One of the X-Men was Storm, and they quickly became friends.The X-Men were abruptly attacked by mercenaries sent by Emma Frost. They battled and The X-Men defeated them easily, but Emma used her telepathy to freeze everyone. Kitty was able to slip away during the confusion and contacted Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Nightcrawler. They arrived soon after and Kitty helped them rescue the captured X-Men. Xavier returned Kitty to her parents who were furious that their daughter had been missing for an entire day. When Professor Xavier requested that she be allowed to study at his School For Gifted Youngsters, Kitty's parents refused, and expressed their fear for the danger they felt he represented to their daughter. Jean Grey erased their memories and replaced them with false ones, thus changing their perception of Professor Xavier. Kitty's parents relented, and she was allowed to join the school, becoming the youngest X-Man ever.CreationKitty Pryde's First AppearenceKitty Pryde was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist John Byrne in 1980. Her debut appearance was in X-Men #129. There is a Canadian Fun Fact associated with Kitty Pryde, her name was a promise John Bryne made to a fellow art student while he was in school. Byrne liked the name Kitty Pryde so much he promised the real Kitty Pryde he would name a character after her. The real Kitty Pryde participated in comic book conventions for many years, however she had her name legally changed in the 90s.Mayor Story ArcsJoining the X-MenOriginal costumeWhile in the X-men, Kitty developed a relationship with her (older) team member, Colossus. She also became close friends with his sister Illyana Rasputin. Initially, Kitty was also uncomfortable around mutants with irregular physical features such as Nightcrawler. Eventually she overcame this problem as she got to know him, and the two became close friends. During a mission in space, Kitty befriended an alien dragon named Lockheed. They gained a psychic bond with each other and Lockheed became extremely loyal to Kitty. To this day the two are nearly inseparable.While dating Colossus Kitty met Douglas Ramsey, a bright young man who shared her love for computers, science fiction, and arcade games. The two seemed an ideal pair; both notably bright (Kitty has been said to possess 'genius-level intelligence', Doug being on par), from similar backgrounds, and close in age.This was not lost on Colossus, who sometimes wondered if he, a 'simple Russian farm boy', could make Kitty as happy as her new friend seemed to. The White Queen stated that Kitty had feelings for Doug when she tried to persuade the young woman to transfer to Massachusetts Academy. Despite all this, Kitty and Colossus remained close, often going to Salem Center on dates. Colossus, despite having stated that he and Kitty had already talked about having a life together once she was old enough, developed feelings for an alien named Zsaji whom he met during the Secret Wars. At first he thought the feelings were due to the side-effects of her healing powers, but he eventually realized them as genuine emotion. The object of his affections, however, died in battle, a loss that affected the young Russian profoundly. Once back on earth, he confessed to Kitty that he had not been faithful and cheated on her with Zsaji. This ultimately ended their relationship.OgunNew costumeWhen Kitty's father, Carmen Pryde, ran into trouble with the Yakuza, she went to Japan to investigate. She was kidnapped and brainwashed by a ninja Yakuza boss named Ogun. Using a combination of brainwashing and training techniques that bordered on magical, Ogun turned her into an assassin and she single-handedly killed entire groups of ninjas. When he felt she was ready, Ogun ordered her to kill Wolverine. Kitty nearly did kill Wolverine before his friend, Yukio, beat her senseless, allowing Kitty the opportunity to defeat the brainwashing. Kitty realized that she had been turned into a killing machine and tried to run away, however Wolverine stopped her and forced her to confront her issues. Kitty, Wolverine, and Yukio battled Ogun together and defeated him. Defeated and humiliated, Ogun tried to kill her, but impaled himself on Wolverine's claws as he passed through Kitty's phased form. In the end Kitty decided not to kill Ogun which convinced Wolverine that she was herself again.Together, Kitty and Wolverine helped her father recover, eventually returning to New York City. The two have since developed a big brother/little sister relationship. She also adopted the code name Shadowcat after this event.ExcaliburKitty and LockheedDuring the Mutant Massacre, Kitty was badly injured saving Rogue from Harpoon. Her injury made her unable to un-phase and she was rushed to Muir Island to be treated by Dr. Moira MacTaggert. Moria was able to stop her from losing physical substance which would have made her cease to exist, but was not able to do more. Kitty was still intangible and had to make an extreme effort of concentration to become solid. At first they went to Mr. Fantastic for help, but he declined, claiming that he did not know what he could do for her. The X-Men turned to Doctor Doom, which angered the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four then tried to stop Dr. Doom from treating Kitty, believing that Doom had an ulterior motive, and they battled the X-Men. Franklin Richards stopped the two teams from fighting and made everyone come to their senses, in the process bonding considerably with Kitty herself. Reed Richards saw the error of his ways and decided to help the wounded young mutant, saving her life.During a fight with the Adversary (Kitty was not present due to her injuries from the Mutant Massacre), the X-Men made a sacrificing move to defeat him. This was televised live and it showed the X-Men being killed while defeating the Adversary. They were later resurrected and decided to keep a low profile so they could have the advantage on their enemies. This meant they could not contact friends, family or even Kitty. Thinking her friends had died, Kitty was devastated.A Happy ReunionKitty then left the X-Men mansion together with her long-time teammate Nightcrawler and her pet dragon, Lockheed, and went to Britain. There she was reunited with Rachel Summers and helped form the superhero team Excalibur, which included new teammates Captain Britain and Meggan. Kitty and Rachel Summers (an old X-Men teammate) were good friends, however, she was annoyed with her a great deal sometimes as most men they met were only interested in Rachel. Wanting to be like Rachel, Kitty dressed up in one of Rachel's costumes, strapped some high heels on, painted her face and went out on the town. Unfortunately, the creatures known as the Warwolves happened to be looking for Rachel at that very time, wanting her skin as a trophy for their master Mojo. They captured Kitty mistaking her for Rachel. This led to Excalibur's first mission: Find and save Kitty Pryde. After they rescued her; the team realized that they were needed here, to protect Britain much like the X-Men, Avengers and other teams that protected America.Technological geniusDuring this time, Kitty further developed her fascination for computers and technology and soon became the teams unofficial "repair-woman". Kitty and her new teammates continued to have a lot of wacky adventures, including the Cross-Time Caper, a journey Excalibur of Earth-616 took through the entire Marvel Multiverse, visiting many new worlds and learning a lot by themselves. After some time with Excalibur, Kitty learned that the X-Men, who she presumed dead, were still alive. While being happier then she had ever been in a long time, she and Nightcrawler choose to remain with Excalibur. A lot of things happened in the life of Kitty after that. Rachel seemingly got lost in the time-stream and was not seen again for a few years. Also a Phalanx-like creature calling itself Douglock surfaced and soon became part of the team.A New LoveKitty with Wisdom Despite bearing a striking resemblance to her long-dead friend Douglas Ramsey, it was proven that Douglock was an entirely separate entity, a concept which took Kitty a while to fully accept, and eventually the two became close friends as well. Kitty had even met and eventually fell in love with a British special agent named Pete Wisdom, who was himself a mutant. Later, Colossus regained his feelings for Kitty and went of to England to try and get her back. Unfortunately for him, Kitty was in a relationship with Pete Wisdom. Although Colossus was extremely mad at Pete and lashed out at him a number of times, he finally accepted their relationship and joined Excalibur. However, on a mission with S.H.I.E.L.D, Kitty realized that she was strongly attracted to one of the other agents, causing her to seriously re-think her relationship with Wisdom. Upon returning home, the two eventually sat down and discussed their feelings for one another, and decided to stop dating. Not long after, Captain Britain decided to retire from superheroing and married Mega. Excalibur disbanded soon afterwards. Kitty and her friends from Excalibur, Nightcrawler and Colossus joined her back to the United States and back to the X-Men. She ended her relationship with Pete Wisdom from that point on.Return to the X-MenAll grown-upAfter Captain Britain left Excalibur for good, the team was disbanded. Kitty and her friends from Excalibur, Nightcrawler and Colossus joined her back to the United States and back to the X-Men. There Kitty became part of the newest X-Men group where she was re-joyed of seeing her good friend Wolverine and Storm again. Kitty quickly adjusts to the team once more and became a valuable asset. Kitty remained an X-Man for some time, but when Colossus sacrificed his life to host the cure for the Legacy Virus, Kitty was distraught and left the team. She took his ashes back to Russia where he was born and raised and spread them across his family farm. Afterward, she retired from her career as a superhero and attended college in Chicago, working part-time in order to pay for her tuition. It was at this time that she also began to search for her father who she discovered had been in Genosha during the Sentinel attack that completely decimated the island nation's mutant population.Out on her own & into the X-TremeDespite her reservations toward acting like a superhero, the rising anti-mutant sentiment and the threat it posed to her friends and family began to convince Kitty of her responsibility to once again use her powers and knowledge for the greater good. She also found a clip of her father in her messages sent before his death, telling her that he was proud of her and to make him even prouder. She then teamed with her friends, including Karma and Shola Inkosi, and fought back against attacks by Wild Sentinels and the Purity anti-mutant faction.Kitty was then captured by Reverend William Stryker and his goons who injected her with psychotropic drugs in an attempt to convert her to their cause. She managed to resist them and nearly killed Stryker, but instead allowed him to merge with an A.I. in an attempt to teach him about humanity. Kitty was freed by the X-Men and was influential in helping Storm's team recover Destiny's Diaries.Return to the X-Men, yet againReunitedEven with Cyclops and Emma now being co-headmasters of the school, Kitty decided to rejoin the X-Men. She still hated Emma for what happened in the past, but Emma claimed that this was the reason she chose Kitty to be on the Astonishing team; because if Emma decided to return to her evil roots, the person that trusts her the least would be the one to notice first. On a mission, Kitty discovers that Colossus is still alive. There was a brief moment of awkwardness, but everything turned out fine and they resumed their relationship. They also finally made love for the first time.During the crisis with the Hellfire Club, Kitty did exactly what Emma thought she would do. Kitty beat Emma and trapped her deep underground. Then Kitty was caught under a telepathic spell by Emma's evil version called Perfection. It gave Kitty the illusion that she and Colossus had a baby and the X-Men were taking it away to kill it because it was too dangerous. She was eventually lead to a box somewhere inside the school, she phased through it an took it out thinking it was her baby. Still not knowing anything, she actually freed an alien entity that contained Cassandra Nova's consciousness.Nova jumped over into Emma's mind and Emma manipulated Kitty into trying to shoot her to kill Nova. Kitty refuses to kill her and Nova then tries to leap into one of the students. Everything was then interrupted by SWORD and teleported to Breakworld.While traveling to Breakworld, where as Agent Brand informs them is a missile pointed to earth which she needs the X-men to disable, Kitty is still feeling the after effects of Emma's mind game and as such rejects Peter. After their act in Brands ship and subsequently eject in one of the escape pods that comes a part in the air she holds on to Peter and phases. However as she phases through the first building she is affected by the strange Breakworld metal that is used and Peter then takes the brunt of their fall to the surface.Not much later Kitty and Peter after fighting of many of the Breakworld inhabitants and soldiers, who are certain Peter is there to bring about the destruction of their world as was foretold. They are led to Aghanne, a former warrior of Breakworld who has compassion for her worlds sick and/or weak which is considered as close to sin for their race of warriors, by one of her men and are offer shelter for the night before they are to rendezvous with the others.To Infinity and Beyond...It is there that they make love again after Kitty explains to a now confused Peter that they should live in the now. Meeting up with the team their first attempt of reaching the missile is halted. Agent Brand also informs Kitty that Lockheed is in fact an intelligent alien species that was in fact their mole within the X-men in return for SWORD help with pressing issue back on his home world. Scott devises a plan B which includes him dying and being brought back to live by their enemy.Kitty tries to approach Emma after Scott's death but is snidely shot down by the White Queen. Their second attempt is so successful that they manage to reach the missile but are unable to to disable it as their are no real remote control or control panels to do so. Kitty decides to phases through the missile and disrupt it's circuitry from within while only very short moments away from firing. After phasing through a mile of Break world metal Kitty reaches the center which, to her surprise is empty. As Beast concludes that the missile is in fact a bullet Kitty passes out as the bullet is fired. As everyone attempts to both stop the bullet and save Kitty, Emma contacts her to inform her of their efforts to get her out and ask her to phase out of the bullet. Kitty informs her that she feels sick as the metal somehow meshed with her and thus trapped her. Emma tells Kitty that their chances of stopping the bullet are not good and presses that Kitty try and phase out. Realizing what the likely outcome is Kitty accepts her fate ignoring Emma's attempts to reassure her that she will be rescued.Astonishing PrydeAs the two women say their final words to each other Emma states that this was not what she had wanted for Kitty and Kitty replies with humor that if she recalled she was brought aboard to take Emma out. When she asks Emma if she was disappointed Emma responded with respect that she was astonished. With this, their rivalry that dated back to Emma's recruitment efforts of Kitty ended. With the bullet quickly approaching and Earth's Mightiest Heroes being unable to stop it, Kitty summoned all her power and with superhuman effort, phased the entire bullet straight-through the planet. The bullet continued without losing any velocity into deep space. At that point, Emma lost all telepathic contact with Kitty. Speculation between Dr. Strange, Reed Richards and other intellectuals believed that she had fused with the bullet, and that she was lost forever. Abigail Brand revealed to Lockheed that Kitty Pryde was still alive inside the bullet, but now it was nearly impossible to break open the bullet, because it hardens as time goes by.Back on EarthUnable to touchIn an attempt to gain the X-Men's trust, Magneto goes to the top of Mt. Tamalpais where he focuses all of his powers to bring back the X-Men's long lost teammate. Magneto concentrates hard to change the direction of the metal bullet, in which Kitty Pryde is trapped in, and bring it to Earth safely.It is revealed that Magneto had encountered the bullet before, back when he and the High Evolutionary were trying to bring back Magneto's powers and save the mutant race. The High Evolutionary detected it and had found a mutant inside as well. The High Evolutionary told Magneto that he was able to recover the bullet, but Magneto chose to concentrate on what they were doing. He knew at that time it was Kitty who was inside the bullet, but decided to retrieve her back to Earth later, keeping it a secret it to himself. The X-Men discovered his plan and prepared for her arrival. Magneto successfully retrieved the bullet and cracked it open, bringing Kitty to the ground. When Kitty and Colossus tried to touch each other, it is revealed that she is trapped in her intangible form. The X-Men quickly place her in a protective chamber, with Colossus sitting by her side.Post-Second ComingKitty with PeterFollowing the events of second coming Kavita Rao and Madison Jeffries are seen visiting Kitty and Colossus about her condition. Kavita states that she is baffled by the fact that Kitty has not experienced any hair or nail growth while trapped inside the bullet and also did not need to eat, drink, go to the bathroom, or sleep at any point in her travels. She explains to a panicked Colossus that because Kitty was forced to stay phased for so long she simply does not remember how to become solid. Colossus asks Emma to help them communicate with her telepathy while Kitty can't talk. Emma refuses but Kitty angrily gestures at her, blaming Emma for the fact that she was lost in the first place.Emma links their minds and Kitty says she loves Peter. She later discovers Emma's plan to kill Sebastian Shaw and, using a suit to keep her solid (to allow her to leave Utopia, Kitty was given a special containment suit by the X-Club, allowing her to be solid and physically interact.) accompanies Emma and Fantomex on a mission to get Sebastian off of the island in order to keep Emma from killing him. Sebastian frees himself from his prison and attacks the group. As he is about to kill Emma, Kitty removes her suit and sticks her arm through Shaw's heart, threatening to kill him. Unknown to Shaw, Kitty can't do that because she can't solidify. Shaw calls the bluff and continues to attack Emma. After subduing Shaw, Emma uses her telepathy to wipe his mind and leaves him.Breaking PointKitty and Colossus Vs. KruunWhen a Breakworld warship is seen on the edge of the solar system, Agent Brand calls the X-Men in for assistance. Kitty is part of Cyclops' Breakworld team that infiltrate the warship, but upon entering the ship they become aware that the ship is full of refuges, seeking help. The aliens are brought to Utopia, and Kitty is seen assisting the new refuges. Little do the X-Men know, Kruun set a plan in motion to get revenge on Colossus and the X-Men. He managed to incapacitate key members of the team, and attack Kitty and Peter in the middle of the night. Peter was injected with a chemical that temporarily removed his powers and was forced into a duel with Kruun, who threatened Kitty with a blade that could pierce her intangible form. Colossus fought bravely, but in his human form he was no match for the powerful alien. Kitty went for help, but was unable to make anyone hear her, due in part to Kruun's scheme. She came across Haleena, Kruun's mate who killed her, then immediately brought her back using her own life force. After this, Kitty regained her ability to phase and solidify.Wolverine and the X-MenOccupy The Jean Grey SchoolFollowing the dissolution of the X-Men into two separate factions (those with Cyclops and those with Wolverine) following the events of Schism, Kitty heads back to Westchester with Wolverine and those who joined his side. There, she becomes Madam Headmistress of "The Jean Grey School for Higher Learning" alongside Wolverine as the headmaster. She attempts to show inspectors from the states education board around the school in order to persuade them not to shut down the school, although things have yet to go according to plan as the visit proved disastrous. Kitty will also be teaching part of the curriculum at the school, including "Ethics 101L Forgetting Everything You Ever Learned From Emma Frost", "Future History 101: Mapping What We Know About the World of Tomorrow" and "Computer-Hacking 101: ONLY FOR USE TO SAVE THE DAY!", while also running a Fencing Team.Kitty was somehow infected by the Brood.At the end of Wolverine and the X-Men #4, it is revealed, much to Kitty's surprise, that she is pregnant. Initially, she confined herself to her room as she tried to come to terms with this revelation and to try and understand how it had happened. After much soul-searching, she eventually sought help from Beast and Rachel Grey. Upon further examination it was discovered that Kitty was not in fact pregnant at all, but rather was infected by a swarm of microscopic Brood. With help from the students and fellow X-Men, Kitty managed to remove the Brood from her system and she returned to normal. She also kissed Iceman, telling him she was afraid of growing up.She has remained at the school to continue teaching the students while the Avengers fought the X-Men during the return of the Phoenix. Despite these good intentions, conflict soon reached the school. During an altercation between certain X-Men and the Avengers ordered to keep an eye on the school a battle broke out around the school. Kitty, angry at the conflict on peaceful ground and injury to her students, could no longer sit on the sidelines and aided Rogue in defeating the AI controlled Iron Man suit. After the events of Avengers vs X-Men, Kitty and Iceman's relationship has progressed to a full relationship. Kitty recently had to let Husk go due to her mental instability and she hired Storm due to the mutant population being restarted and an influx of new students coming to the school. She was recently brainwashed by the Frankenstein circus along with the other teachers to attack the students.All New X-MenKitty was there when Beast brought the original five X-Men to the future. She helped him when his further mutation caused an episode of severe pain, that was the result of genetic degeneration, resulting in him passing out and suffering a heart attack. She was the mentor to the time-displaced young X-men. She dated Iceman for a short period during this time but broke up with him After Battle of the Atom.Kitty with Peter Quill: Star LordAfter the events of Battle of the Atom, she and the original 5 X-Men have sided with Cyclops' Uncanny X-Men, leaving the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. She and the original 5 X-Men now located in the old Weapon X facility. Not too long after later Kitty meets the Guardians Of the Galaxy after the young Jean Grey is kidnapped and tried by the Shi'ar for her crimes when she becomes Phoenix. After the adventure has ended Kitty begins a relationship with Guardians Of The Galaxy member Star Lord although the relationship is long distance.Leading the Guardians of the GalaxyAfter the events of Secret Wars, it is revealed that Kitty has now joined the Guardians of the Galaxy and is the new leader of the group during the absence of her romantic interest, Peter Quill. She served with the Guardians for a number of months. Eventually, the romance stalled between Kitty and Peter Quill and, when the Guardians were stranded on Earth, Kitty chose to stay behind on Earth.Leader of the X-MenKitty lived a relatively normal life for a number of weeks. However, she had heard about the struggles of her old team the X-Men during their war with the Inhumans about the Terrigen Mist but chose not to contact them. It wasn't until her old friend Storm contacted her and asked her, not only to join, but to lead the X-Men into a new and brighter tomorrow. Kitty accepted and became, for the first time ever, the leader of the X-Men Gold team.House of X; Leader of the MaraudersAfter Professor Xavier returned to the X-men, the formation of the mutant nation of Krakoa was a fact. As all mutants flocked to the new island nation, Kitty, for unknown reasons, (and now going by Kate), would not be permitted to use the portals back and forth to Krakoa. Emma Frost used this information to leverage a new opportunity to her. Emma asked Kate to lead a team of mutants to defend the outside portals and rescue mutants from countries who are not willing to let their mutant population leave or use the portals. Emma Frost was funding this through her Hellfire Trading Company, giving Kate and her new team a boat to travel the globe. While hesitend at first, Kitty accepted her new role as "Captain" Kate Pryde. While happy in her new role, Kate's doubt about why she was unable to use the portals had caused an alteration in her personality, with her even taking tatoos on both her hands. Because of her rivalry with fellow Krakoa resident, Sebastian Shaw, the latter aragned for her death. Unbeknown to the X-Men that it was Sebastian Shaw who did this, the X-Men tried to revive Kitty, (as was possible with all mutants on Krakoa) but where so far unable to do so until Emma urged Professor Charles to try again in a different way. They managed to resurrect her using her phasing powers.Physical Attributes & Personal DataCharacteristics/StatusKitty Pryde with Lockheed.Height: 5'6"Weight: 110 lbs. (when fully solid)Eyes: HazelHair: BrownIdentity: Publicly knownOccupation: adventurer, teacher, member of Extinction Team; formally co-headmistress of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, bartender, SHIELD agentCitizenship: U.S.A.Place of Birth: Deerfield, IllinoisEducation: PhD in astrophysics from the University of ChicagoMarital Status: SingleKnown Relatives: Carmen Pryde (father, deceased), Theresa Pryde (mother)Religion: JewishSexuality: Her sexuality has not been explicitly confirmed but she has shown interest in men and women. This means that she is most definitely on the LGBTQ+ spectrum.Powers and AbilitiesPowersPhasingPhasingKitty Pryde has the ability to pass through solid matter by allowing the molecules of her body to travel through the space between the molecules of whatever solid she is traveling through. In A+X she explains she used to hold her breath or she thought she had to but after the initial shock wore off, she can now phase through solid objects while breathing and talking. She can also render other people and objects intangible by touching them. When phasing through extremely dense materials, such as adamantium, Kitty experiences pain and disorientation as well as those with dense metals in their bodies ( Wolverine, X-23, etc.) should she phase through them. For some unknown reason, when Kitty phased through Garokk, it caused him intense pain. The reason for this is unclear. Kitty is capable of phasing any amount of her body through objects as well as humans leaving them unconscious. Kitty is also capable of killing another being by phasing them into a solid object and then releasing them, causing them to solidify whilst still within the object. Kitty has trained herself to reflexively assume her intangible state at any indication of danger, such as a loud noise like a gunshot, in order to protect herself.Kitty can disrupt electronic devices by passing through them in this manner without harm to herself. When she uses this ability in the opposite direction she can levitate herself by walking on air, as if she were walking up a flight of stairs. In her intangible state she is weak against certain energies, psionic and mystical attacks. While in phase form Kitty has demonstrated a remarkable resistance to psychic probing and psionic attacks, but she can be hurt by the Soul Sword and remains vulnerable to magic-based attacks. As guided by the Doc Green persona of the Hulk, she has been shown to be able to use her phasing abilities to perform surgery, essentially phasing cancerous growths out of people's bodies.Thanks to Kitty's powers, deadly projectiles pass right through her. According to the book "The Science of the X-Men", one theory that could potentially explain Kitty Pryde's power of intangibility is that of "spintronics". This theory is based on electrostatic repulsion, which is the force that keeps subatomic objects from passing through one another.Electrons naturally repel each other and instead of positive or negative charge, electrons have what is called "spin", which is based on a random pattern of up and down. If Kitty can rearrange her molecules into an organized manner so that they are "polarized" with the objects she is trying to pass through then she can pull her molecules through objects (like a molecular magnet) by controlling the spin on all of the particles in her body. By reversing the polarity on air, she can then air walk by making the air around her much harder. This also explains why she disrupts electronic systems since she basically polarizes the spin of electrons in objects she passes through and drastically changes the conducting forces in circuitry.AbilitiesExpert Martial ArtistKitty is an extremely adept fighter who has mastered several martial arts, including karate, aikido, ninjutsu, and krav maga. In addition, Kitty was taught how to fight with a sai and bo staff by the undead ninja Ogun as well as with swords by Wolverine and Nightcrawler.Genius-level Computer ExpertA genius with applied technology and computer science, Kitty is especially skilled with computer hardware design and use.MultilingualKitty speaks fluent English, Japanese, Russian, the alien language of the Skrulls, and the alien language of the Shi'ar. She also has knowledge of both Hebrew and Gaelic.Dance TrainingA skilled dancer, Kitty was taught by Stevie Hunter in the ballet style.Expert PilotKitty is an accomplished pilot of jet and piston engine aircraft, and is adept with interstellar vehicles.LeadershipKitty Pryde has grown into a fantastic leader, becoming headmistresses for the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. She has trained many students and served as a mentor. She lead the original five X-Men from the past.Alternate RealitiesUltimate Universe (Earth-1610)Ultimate Kitty PrydeKitty Pryde is a 14 year old girl and her powers only recently manifested. Her mother seeks Professor Xavier and allows her to go to his school as long as she does not do any Danger Room training, or go on missions. Kitty joins the X-Men anyway, which makes her the youngest X-Men ever. She begins dating Iceman but when Iceman starts a fixation with Rogue, Kitty dumps him. She eventually begins a relationship with Spider-Man and decides to hang out with him and help him fight crime. However, when the X-Men and Spider-Man are fighting Deadpool and the Reavers on Genosha, a hidden camera catches Spider-Man and Kitty hugging, and the Spider-Man/Shadowcat relationship becomes a tabloid sensation. This leads to Kitty donning a costume to fight crime, even though she wants Peter to unmask, so they can go on dates together. But because of this media sensation, Kitty and Peter sadly break up, and he begins to date Mary Jane again.After she's expelled from the X-Men for wanting Professor X to erase Aunt May's knowledge of Spider-Man's identity, Kitty begins to attend Midtown High where she is singled out as a mutant. She sees Peter kissing MJ and decides to not speak with him anymore. When she's paired with Peter in a "raise your own baby" exercise, Kitty trades with MJ, and Kenny becomes her partner. Kenny is respectful of Kitty's mutant powers and beats up Flash Thompson when he bullies her.Kitty as her alternate alias "Shadowcat".Peter is captured by Shocker so MJ asks Kitty for help. Kitty tries to call the FF´s Torch but no one´s home. She runs to the police with some footage of what had happened and asked for help. She made a deal and together they found Spider-Man. Kitty gives props to MJ for trying to find Peter calling her an awesome girlfriend. Peter answered "So were you" .A power-enhancing drug named banshee started circulating around mutants, so Shadowcat and Spider-Man started taking care of the Screamers. Wolverine arrived and went to Peter for help on finding out why he was positive for taking the drug. While Peter worked on sorting it out Kitty thanked Wolverine for the note he gave her and told him she didn't know he felt that way. Peter told Logan that he was the source of the drug and then the X-Men took Wolverine after denying access to go with them to Kitty.In Ultimate Comics Spider-man, the true identity of masked vigilante Shroud is revealed to be Kitty Pryde. In addition to being able to become intangible, Kitty is now able to become super-dense. Not long after Kitty was revealed to be the Shroud, her mutant powers caught up with her. Following the events of Ultimatum, mutants had become essentially outlawed.ShroudAs a result, Kitty (openly a mutant) was confronted in class by two federal agents who wanted to escort her off the premises, kick her out of school, and presumably take her into custody. She refused, but did not have any support from her classmates, with the exception of Kong. Kong and Kitty escaped via Kitty's intangibility powers and went on the run. Before disappearing for a while, Kitty made it clear to Peter that she was extremely upset with him for not standing up for her in class. Recently, Kitty has returned. She mentioned that after about a week on the run, Kong got scared and returned home to his mother who quickly moved them to Wisconsin. Kitty is no longer angry with Peter and the rest of her friends and was welcomed back into the Parker home with open arms.After the death of Peter Parker, Kitty gives up being a super hero, feeling it is to risky to continue. After Peter's funeral she finds Bobby Drake and Johnny Storm and invites them to stay with her since it is no longer an option to stay at Peter's house. She leads them to the abandoned Morlock tunnels, and allows them to stay as long as they give up adventuring as well. However it is not long before they must once again don their superhero persona's and become the X-Men once again, even though Kitty is very reluctant to do so.When Val Cooper revealed during a press conference that mutants were not the next step in human evolution but rather a botched attempt to recreate super soldiers like Captain America, Kitty and the other mutants realized the only thing left for them was to band together. Kitty, Bobby, and Johnny went out to rescue Rogue who was being chased by Sentinels and succeeded, finding out that Rogue was on a mission from "God" in her own words though none of them really bought it. Afterwards they found Jimmy Hudson, the son of Wolverine, and added him to the group. Rogue was dead set on getting Stryker, which the others ,save for Kitty, agreed with. Kitty later learned from a mutant that Jimmy had rescued that Rogue knew Stryker and Kitty thought they were being led into a trap. Kitty killed Stryker, but due to the combination of his mutant ability to control machines and the Sentinel armada being linked to Cerebro and having the location of every mutant in the United States, Stryker accidentally transferred his consciousness to the Sentinels and they set out to destroy every mutant in the country.Leader of Utopia.Afterward, Kitty decided she had enough of hiding and decided to take action and, along with Jimmy, Iceman, and Rogue, they set out to unite the mutant race against the Sentinels and human militias. With Nick Fury's help, Kitty managed to make an army out of the mutants and beat the Sentinels, but their troubles were far from over. After the Sentinel threat was gone, the mutants were given two choices: move to a mutant reservation or take a cure from the Southeast Asian Republic (SEAR).

At the first site of the X-Men in their stolen chopper, she leaped into the air and phased into the aircraft to join them. When Emma Frost arrived at the Institute, Kitty was instantly skeptical. She did not appreciate her tone with her current teammates. She often speaks the truth fairly well, and even stumped Wolverine on several occasions.This incarnation of Pryde is mostly cool headed and often corrects her teammates. Nightcrawler mentioned that he'd rather fight Sentinels than get on Kitty's bad side. She is just as intellectual, quick, and as mature as previous incarnations. Although still a younger member of the X-Men, this is her most mature portrayal in an animated series.Despite her protests about 'babysitting', Wolverine trusted the care of young (and dangerous) Tildie Soams.

Save Money on College Books by Renting Them
If you are in college yourself or have a child in college you know how expensive college cost today! So, you need to find ways to save somehow. Campus Book Rentals is the first place you should check! You can save 40-90% Off bookstore prices!! Plus, shipping is FREE both ways!!
Some people are not fond of renting books because sometimes it is just easier to highlight in the book to study right? Well, that is okay!! When you rent from Campus Book Rentals you CAN highlight, underline, and write notes in the margins in the textbooks.
You can customize when you need the books. Some colleges set their time frames different from other, so you chose when and for how long you need to rent the book. If you decide a class isn't for you and you drop it, just return the book within 30 days and you get a full refund! How awesome is that!
Here is a great example of the money you can save. Say you need the book Abnormal Child Psychology by Mash, Eric J. and Wolfe, David A. just from now till the end of this term at Christmas. On Campus Book Rentals you would only pay $27.26. On Amazon you would pay $42.99 for a used book and $148.00 new. Think of the money you could save!
Make sure to tell your friends about Campus Book Rentals! They have a referral program for every friend you refer you get $5 and they get 5% off their next purchase.
Plus, and this is a really great feeling, when you rent a textbook from Campus Book Rentals they will donate to Operation Smile. Operation Smile is an international charity that provides free surgeries to repair cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities for children around the globe. Operation Smile has provided over 200,000 surgeries for FREE since 1982 to families that otherwise would not have been able to afford it in over 60 countries!

Bases 6-32 reservations/statuses/primes
Please use this thread for posting reservations and statuses on bases 6-32 for "Conjectures 'R Us". When considering what to reserve, please take into account the size of the base. Base 30 of course tests much slower than base 9 at the same n-value. Also for bases that are powers of 2 (base 16 for this effort), LLR will convert them to base 2 before searching, which means faster searching at effectively the same size of test. Although it will write out the 'primes' file in base 16, the results file will be in base 2.
For statuses, these are guidelines only. Nothing is set in stone. Please report a status at least once/month and preferably more frequently. The web pages will be updated most every day to include new info. and sometimes several times a day. Use your own judgment on this. If you're searching at n=5K on multiple k's and are knocking down primes left and right, then report in a little more often. Clearly if you're searching above n=100K, then once/month to let us know where your search is at is fine.
I am currently working on Sierp base 16 for all k's. I am up to n=19K and will take it up to n=25K, which should be done Sunday. I'll then post the 60+ k's remaining for everyone else to search. I'll wait to see what the response is before reserving any more k's myself. I have eliminated all k's where higher primes were found for bases 2 and 4 and could be converted to an equivalent k base 16.
Base 16 is a good base because it LLRs like base 2 for the equivalent size, i.e. k*16^n+1 LLRs at the same speed as k*2^(4n)+1. This is one where I think we'll get a lot of top-5000 primes! It only takes an exponent of around n=83.4K to make the top-5000 list and with 60+ k's left at n=25K, there will be plenty to go around.
More than one person can reserve the same k for a different n-range. k's already reserved can be reserved by a 2nd person for the lowest n-range above that which has already been reserved. I enourage this kind of collaborative effort to facilitate reserving many k's for a narrow n-range or knocking out very stubborn k's. If this happens, the k will be shown on the reservation pages with both people and their respective n-range reservations. Clearly if one person finds a prime, then the other can choose to stop searching at his own discretion. Both people should check the primes and reservations threads a little more frequently than they normally would.

For everyone's info., Michaf has started from scratch running PFGW on all k's for base 24 Sierp. Michaf, can you post something in the reservation thread about reserving base 24 Sierp to n=5K? Thanks! I just want to keep everyone in the loop of what is going on. I'll show it as reserved by you on the web pages later tonight.
Anon, thanks for info.! I never knew that before. I'll respond to your PM later this evening. My daughter has a championship soccer game to go to shortly. I'm pretty excited about it!
Citrix, I got a nice PM from Xyzzy this morning that discusses some important things. I'll coordinate through the both of you if I feel we really need to move or edit anything.
Later tonight...a new sieving thread. I'm going to post my numerous sieved files there and will ask that others post some of theirs if they only want to (or can only sieve) or if they find they've bitten off too much to test.

I'm running Sierpinski base 24 upto n=5000 now.
I'll report here when it's done

When done doing all searches, please send results files to me at gbarnes017 at gmail dot com.
Like some of the larger projects such as Riesel Sieve and Seventeen-or-Bust, we will probably need to do some double-checks on stubborn k's where a prime cannot be found up to a very large n. Both projects recently found huge primes on double-checks. Having the residues in the results files will help us identify if there are any patterns of problems in any searches.
In LLR, it's the lresults.txt file. In PFGW, it's the pfgw.out file.

Gary, Could we have a separate webpage for powers of 2. I think these will be the most popular.
By the way the webpage looks really nice.

All your coordination effort is really nice. I checked out the webpages, they are solid stuff. I just had one minor thought, is it possible to keep the headers of the table in view when scrolling down?
As for your request for the lresults file, well, I don't know. While technically correct this represents a lot more administration effort.
I run this stuff manually on a handfull of computers. I check the lresults file daily to check for progress and then empty the lresults file. So I don't have the lresults anymore.
Laters, Willem

To get a feeling on how to use srfile and sr1sieve I checked 233*28^n-1 until 25000. No prime found.

Web page reservations page changes needed
Before responding to the above though, I have to bring up that there is a much bigger issue here. I think you may get part of your wish but for a different reason on base 16 for the reservations page. I'm going to need entirely new reservations pages for bases with many k's remaining. I think I've decided how to handle it but am open to hearing more on the matter. The issue is that I need to allow for 100's or even 1000's of k's remaining on a base. This is almost definitely going to be the case on bases 6 or 19 when we get into those due to the high conjectures. Base 19 Riesel has a conjecture > 1.1M! I don't want to even think about bases 3, 7, and 15!
Here is what I'm currently considering: Remove the k's remaining on the 2 main info. pages, show the # of k's remaining instead and provide a link to a NEW reservations page set up for the specific base that has reservations info. for all of the remaining k's. That way, I can leave all of the other main info. about the bases on the main pages and wouldn't have the duplicate work of keeping them synced up. This is the same thing that I do for the bases with major projects right now. I think it makes the most sense and keeps things fairly consistent and easy to follow.
I'll then create the above mentioned separate reservations pages for bases with large #'s of k's remaining like there will be on base 16. I'll leave the bases on the current main info. pages and reservations page with all other info. but for the k's remaining and reservations, I'll put a link to the page with the reservations info. like I do on the main page.
If I don't do this, the current reservations page will quickly become a mess in the near future. Right now for base 16 Sierp, it's looking like there will be around 53-57 k's remaining at n=25K (plus 3 being searched by the SOB and Sierp Base 4 projects). Imagine what the current reservations page would look like after that and after Michaf has finished base 24 Sierp to n=5K? It wouldn't be a pretty sight nor SITE! The page is already somewhat cluttered and we don't want to make it downright UGLY and hard to follow!
Don't think I'm ignoring your suggestion about powers of 2 being on a separate page. After things settle down from the more pressing issue of separate reservations pages for some bases, I would still consider it depending on what people think.
Late added note for clarity: When I say 'main info. pages', I'm referring to the 2 pages that are NOT the one reservation page. It's easy to get lost in semantics here.

Well, I'll let you off THIS time since I just posted the request a little while ago!
Seriously, it would be best if you could copy them off and send them but I'm not going to press the issue if it's a problem.
So what you're saying is that you perhaps run a range of n=5K-25K like you did on 233*28^n-1 on several computers by splitting it up perhaps like 5-10K on one machine, 10-15K on another, etc.? Is that correct? If so, I don't mind getting multiple files for one search, regardless of how they are sorted. Many people do searches in that manner on several machines. But even if they're a jumbled mess, when we do some double checks here-and-there, we can sort them if necessary to find the appropriate residues needed.
If this presents a large issue for some people, I'll drop the request. It's just something that will be helpful in the future for the 'greater good'.
One thing I do have to have is primes files and results files on is when searching brand NEW bases from n=1. There's no choice there. We have to know what primes are found for every k to show that we've proven the conjecture.
No biggie. If you can do it, that's great and is helpful. If not, that's fine.
On the web pages headers. I also had an initial suggestion for them before I made the pages public. I'll see what I can do sometime this week. They're designed off of the 15k.org pages where the headers also do not stay stationary. It would be kind of handy for viewing.
Thanks for the info. and for helping out the effort. I'll mark it as searched to n=25K. Some questions:
1. Did you use LLR to search it or do you use some other software? That was a pretty fast sieve and search and it's got me wondering.
2. Do you want to keep this k reserved? If so, do you know how high you're going to search it?
3. Are there any others that you've started working on or that you wish to reserve at this time?
The reservations help us avoid double-work.
You already reported the large efforts that you did on base 22 in that thread. I'm still keeping those reserved for you because I'm assuming that you're continuing the search on them.
One final thought...I am going to request that the bases 22 and 23 threads be locked and coordinated through this effort. Do you see that as a problem? When I do that, I'll put one final post in them stating that they will be locked and requesting any additional info. that people have be posted here.

Hi Gary,
Here are some answers to your questions. You sure fire them off!
I am happy to keep my efforts public, your page makes the various efforts very clear.
I am not interested in keeping the lresults files. That represents effort that I'd rather not spend. Given that there are already have a few hundred k & b pairs on the page the amount of data would quickly balloon.
The run with b=28 took me five or six hours. Started with NewPgen, ran LLR until 20k, then some more sieving with sr1sieve and LLR to mop it up.
I will take all the base 22 candidates until 100k. I think I'll take two of them to 200k. I'll post an update this week sometime.
Laters, Willem.
