I'm not going to lie , I'very always had a crush on her

[@austinharn6341]

+jamison gilbert you and every single one of us geeks in the history of ever.

[@Wolflynx07]

+jamison gilbert Marriage material fo sho

[@ili5362]

I've always had a crush on her since I was 10 years old when I first read the x-men in 2015

[@superstarultra28]

Yeah, she was really hot in X-Men: Evolution!

[@magra453]

I'm sorry that you didn't mention her dragon Lockheed, or her psychic link with Illiyana Rasputin. Which allows her to wield Magik's soulsword.

[@earthsky2336]

Wow and isn’t illyana connected to Lockheed? I only think so because of the new mutants movie

[@Rob-hb7wh]

Actually, if Kitty Pryde could control the frequency that she uses to become intangible to pass through objects she could potentially phase through time. Or am I reading too much into this?

[@mnbv123456987vcxz]

so..........like flash?

[@Rob-hb7wh]

Michael Fan I guess, but Flash runs through the speed force to get to the future

[@skyhmvg2100]

Rob Stumbo or past..

[@Rob-hb7wh]

Sky HansenAmvGames yeah

[@johnthechamp4208]

Rob Stumbo omg that's literally what I thought!!! :o

[@williamhowe1]

Joss Wheadon's favorite x man by the way.

[@alfford6438]

I remember in the old days Kitty was a pain in the butt, crybaby, brat, but that just made her growth into a strong, level-headed, young woman all the more satisfying. It was smart to make her the main character in days of Future Past, because, then you got a hint that she wasn't going to be a brat forever. By the way, where's Lockheed the little, purple, dragon?

[@Foxofthecloud]

Is there anything you can do about rogue... Please

[@bladeking319]

Yes I agree I too would like to see one on Rogue.

[@rudireyes7753]

I bet he will get to it eventually

[@pickedceasar1216]

The phrasing of this makes it seem like rogue is obscure

[@mitchhaelann9215]

Short update on Kitty for you potential Comic fans: She's recently realized that being a mutant deprived her of having a normal teen life and saddled her with too much responsibility. With things on earth crappy but relatively stable, and her relationship with Colossus ended (and Piotr emotionally distant after he recovered from being possessed by the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak and the Phoenix Force), Kitty decided to do something wildly impulsive and just for her. She started a relationship with one Peter Quill, eventually joining the Guardians of the Galaxy and moving to space with Starlord. She received a cosmic-level power-boost that gave her all the powers of the most powerful version of herself from all alternate universes possible. When the planet Spartax was entirely encased in an amber-like substance so the alien Brood could infest/infect the entire population, Kitty saved the day by phasing the entire planet through its prison. While she has Ogun's assassin training in her head, and many years of X-Men combat training, Star Lord has been teaching her how to be a thief. Their relationship has gotten a little rocky and she has had to be his voice of reason, especially when he was involuntarily elected King of Spartax.

[@Cleopatra7Philopator]

+Mitch Haelann Kitty has a Peter Fetish....NO NOT THAT Peter! Peter Rasputin, Peter Wisdom, Peter Quill She just gets all Phasey over someone named Peter, so watch out Mr. Parker!

[@arielblack4633]

+Cleopatra7Philopator the ultimate Universe version of kitty already dated Spider-Man. Lol

[@GAMEmperor-cm7ob]

Isn't she getting married to peter and also is it cannon?

[@AeroHybrid]

Kitty Pryde's awesome!!!

[@AeroHybrid]

Sal A hell even Joss Whedon used Kitty as an inspiration for Buffy Summers

[@spentlizard353]

Delon Luu Kitty Pryde is awesome, but I'm not a fan of when she's being played by Ellen Page.

[@AeroHybrid]

Spent Lizard well I like both but comic-book version FTW!!!

[@RenegadeFreeThinker]

not even a mention of Lockheed?...

[@EdinMesic11]

Love Kitty Pryde. thanx for the video!

[@bloodycoffee9293]

Buffy Summers was based off of Kitty Pryde.

[@SmileyTrenton]

Nope

[@averyottesen6343]

I’m going on a old vid marathon. But I just gotta day I love when you imitate these characters I love it. You give them such a sarcastic spin but also so true to their character, It’s just great.

[@Dadampling]

I was soooo PUMPED UP, when you made a vid about Kitty cause she is my favorite character :D I agree with you as i want to see more of her and shes a really great character 😊Thanks again, Faust

[@Steveishere841]

Hair is amazing and thanks for this i love kitty pryde

[@djuri0612]

lol thank you for taking such care in making your vids. loved the walk down memory lane! You know I read these stories - DEVOURED them is more like it - when they were new and I was younger than YOU! Can't tell you how exciting it was to wait and wait and wait every week and not know what was gonna happen - I can't even go see the movies these days without pretty much knowing everything that's gonna go down... I don't mind, you just reminded me how good the stories were back then, especially with the whole Claremont-Byrne-Austin thing going on - still love to look at the art.

[@staronahill3547]

Kitty shines in the ultimate comics ;)

[@edmundsavage8049]

Thank you for doing an episode about her!

[@connorross6715]

I think kitty is underrated because of her looks and smarts

[@Telekinesisrael]

I really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work, your awesome

[@Jessethegoodwitch]

Didn't she have a dragon?

[@everyany5000]

Yeah but that's a whole other character entirely.

[@Jessethegoodwitch]

True, he could have his own video, but still it would be worth mentioning. He is her sidekick.

[@scmiball]

Lockheed should have been mentioned in this video since he is her sidekick

[@sir.mannington]

Holy shit your right, he completely skipped that.

[@SmileyTrenton]

@@sir.mannington he is a entirely different character

[@ErickThatAmazinglyAwesomeGuy]

awesome vid man keep up the good work!

[@SwankyKitteh82]

Kitty feels very much like what I like to call the "showgirl" characters. The likes of Rogue, Dazzler, and Jubilee also fit into this category. They're attractive peppy female characters that are often set to stand beside more popular mainstream characters (like Wolverine), occasionally play damsel in distress and/or comedic relief, and often have terribly vague or under developed pasts. It's pretty tragic I say, I mean Rogue was even a villain at the beginning of her career and her character like many of this type have progressed very little since joining the institute. While it seems on the opposite end of the spectrum overly sexualized females like Emma Frost get far more page time and are often thrust very quickly into positions of power, authority, or just plain become front runners. Emma's jump from baddie to team leader of the X-Men in such a short time was a fantastic example. Now, granted I do realize that the majority of Marvels line-up isn't exactly meant for, nor directed at, a female audience. So they probably think they're throwing us ladies a bone when putting females in positions of power, but does it have to be the gal whose common ensemble is derived from half lingerie, lol? I'm starting to diverge far off topic now, and feel I've overstepped my initial point. So I digress. I just wish they'd do more with our lil "showgirl" stand-ins.

[@mananexus]

You really know nothing about these characters or you wouldn't be criticizing them the way you are. I'm male so I really can't judge if they are positive role models for girls. But they are more than one dimensional damsels in distress.

[@SwankyKitteh82]

No? Then why don't we see more of them? Why is it generally these characters usually tend to show up exclusively in other character's titles, and a nigh heard from in between usually? When was the last time we even saw Jubilee, period?

[@ItsSuperEffective]

SwankyKitteh82 Battle of the Atom, she was part of the Main X-Men team along with a full female group, considered one of the strongest most independent X-Men team we have seen in years.

[@SwankyKitteh82]

Really?! I had no idea. Perhaps I'm being overly pessimistic then? =D

[@AlbertoHernandez]

SwankyKitteh82 clearly.

[@JusticeLeagueFan56]

Great video! I learn so much about her. Kitty is probably one of my favorite characters from the X-Men. I recently started watching your videos and now I can't stop. When I ran out of videos about characters I know, I started watching ones about characters that I'm not familiar with. And you did such a great job explaining them. BTW, how about a Donna Troy or Cassandra Sandsmark video next? I don't really know a lot about their character & would love to learn more. Once again great video, J

[@hazza1312]

Love the room your filming in! Darren Shan books and a skyrim map great video matey

[@SPofSaturnProduction]

So glad i Subscribed last night so that i could see the history of one of my favorite mutants. i feel like i just got a giant thank you.

[@JaheemHoushakuji]

didn't she have a pet dragon and i recall her having a baby named Micheal

[@wolf9walker]

Jaheem Houshakuji yes, she did, but it wasn't really a pet. his name was "Lockheed" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_(comics)

[@SmileyTrenton]

She doesnt have a child

[@slayeulgi]

@@SmileyTrenton yeah she did in a like an alternative future

[@SmileyTrenton]

@@slayeulgi thx for the correct info plus love your profile pic Violet Parr 💜

[@nurulillyana]

loving all your 'history of' videos...

[@corbindenham8733]

Make one about nightcrawler...please

[@raq619]

I second this.

[@hawkstar1233]

Lol I'm from Illinois only 4 hours from Chicago how funny that kitty was from there XD

[@mitchhaelann9215]

+Hawkstar123 I'm from New Orleans, so I have a special place in my heart and pull-list for Gambit, even if *EVERY* attempt at writing him has him speaking a Canadian version of French, instead of a Southern Louisiana Cajun French (Which is like trying to write Australian English by actually writing in British Cockney).

[@parrishharris4492]

i have been waiting for this like 4ever

[@brianrebmann676]

great video thanks very much

[@cmam8246]

Please do a history of Rogue, it might take forever, but she's very interesting. Especially with her romance with Gambit. I just love everything Rogue.

[@cmam8246]

***** Right ? She's so ignored as the one woman arsenal of mutant power sets & private intelligence.

[@grimmjowwsbane775]

I love ur show it's very informative

[@rudireyes7753]

It's super informative

[@CristinaPocky]

Hey Faust you should do a History of Jean Grey! I'd love you forever!!^_^

[@karmatherapy444]

i love storytime with you!

[@marvel096]

Got to disagree with you in this one. I think she had a lot of character development throughout all uncanny xmen and Excalibur!! You haven't even mention some of the big events of her life like his father's death, his parents divorce, her relationship with colossus! Idk but this vid it's too resumed in my opinion

[@quadrinhoreverso9053]

Iconic

[@zestydude87]

that pretty much summed it up... thanks

[@Sayuri6809]

Is there anything you could do about deadpool? Please

[@MiqueCapel]

nice clear and concise

[@AlwaysDollLover]

This was posted on my bday and she is my favorite character

[@Natboy129]

this is my first time seeing your hair like this and i must say, i really like it. :)

[@malcolmi.1660]

I love that kitty joined Scott's team. That made me more interested with her

[@coreymason7662]

Good biography and video.

[@Skullkid20999]

just watched your Jubilee video on my way to my university and i gotta say i enjoy your videos,also your hair your hair is Epic.

[@rudireyes7753]

Why do you copyright good videos on to your own channel

[@Skullkid20999]

what are you talking about?

[@kwawsome]

Love the hair

[@neonsbian]

didn't Kitty go out with Spiderman? I remember reading it somewhere.

[@mazkeraid4039]

In the Ultimate Spider-Man, she does. In the original continuity, no.

[@Music6446heart]

I love Kitty Pryde the character. I really think she has more potential then these comics are giving her and i really want to see more of her!! SHe's my fav character!

[@mirandaward8993]

i always kitty rocked with only knowing a small amount of knowledge about her. so this totally rocks!!!! :-P

[@MissKriv]

i love this elisode i always thought kittys powers were lame. but since seeing this you change my mind. they shouldnt ignore i agree with you this character has much potential.

[@bradkoski]

my favorite character.....ever!!

[@ili5362]

Mine too

[@Matin338]

Do Anne Marie/Rogue!! She is such a great character many really know, the movies destroyed her character....

[@cloudichai]

everytime i see or hear about kitty, i think of her powers and think "when she first got her powers, she probly didnt know how to control them, so if she went through a wall or something, would part of her be stuck in the wall?" or if she went through a floor, but didnt come out, would she die, while being stuck inside the floor ?

[@lex3889]

They should make a Kitty Pryde T.V. show!!!!!!

[@robertb4513]

I agree battle of the atom was phenomenal read. Great story to add to the X men history of marvel

[@kpoprubix9812]

I would literally have so much fun if I had her super power😍❤️

[@GRANTry20]

Just something i like to mention you did not mention shadow cats time with Excalibur much and this is quite upsetting to me because this is when she became one of my favorite characters. I wish that you had mentioned more about this team but thk you for the great video.

[@lilchristmas5375]

She went ona date with spider man one tim

[@lilchristmas5375]

I ment time

[@ayantandon2333]

Earth 1610 not mainstream continuity.

[@lilchristmas5375]

Ohh

[@staronahill3547]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!! :D

[@garrettedwardspears]

You forgot about her friendship with Lockheed as well as destroying a N'Garai demon all by herself in the Uncanny X-Men issue #143.

[@themachetegamingplays8166]

Nerd! (Jk I am too also ur not a nerd u just know a lot of things)

[@ellesbells9154]

I hate it when he says this would happen would would would! would!!

[@FungusFungusFungus]

I've been watching your videos since 50k

[@HaydenDaviau]

I would love to see you talk about the whole xmen evolution show and what you think of it

[@alysonrodrigues1492]

Cool video. I didn't all of this about Kitty's character. I hope he'll eventually make episodes for Rogue and Gambit. :)

[@KickinSapphire]

Off topic from what was mentioned in this video, but I remember stumbling upon a manga a few years ago that was based on Kitty. Don't remember what it was called, but I believe that Cyclops & Ice Man were main characters too.

[@jalenikezeue4114]

⭐️Kitty Pryde is Amazing character ⭐️

[@MangaHolic22]

I love your videos Faust! and Kitty Pryde is my favorite X-Men, but you forgot to include her relationship with Colossus, her pet Lockheed, and the issues in x-men when she becomes a bit like X-23 where she grows a wolverine 'fang/claw'

[@sleepysaiken3984]

I wish I had her powers....

[@ili5362]

Same so I could get through those awful crowds

[@jamesbug2002]

hahaha..you have an entertaining style of review..i like it! hahaah

[@christinecanny3062]

Lockheed was NEVER mentioned.

[@GideonFrost]

Right! Her pet dragon is pretty important imo

[@Lifetimes09]

Hey do you have any plans on going over infinite crisis and battle of the atom.

[@Songbird_Singz88]

I thought storm couldn't be subjected to psychic attacks because of her weather powers...it's been said that even Professor X can't even use his power on her let alone Emma Frost

[@Darkmilo13]

I notices the mangas from the background would you ever consider talk about the history of manga characters I would love to hear like history of naruto something like that

[@blakbulk7355]

Will you ever do a Rogue one of these?

[@TheUnknownBeing1]

My suggestion of a character to talk about should be Klarion The Witch Boy. He has quite a story and is such a lovable and hated character.

[@danielnineve2798]

I know for a fact your gonna do super boy and Damian Wayne but is was wondering if you would consider doing booster gold, the time traveling superhero from dc comics

[@giuliovisi7184]

Wasn't she also a wife to colossus in Rachel's world where the sentinels took over?

[@sarahquinnsart]

aw man I wanted to know more about her and colossus : (

[@skadihuntress]

question: what is your favourite city in skyrim, mine is Markarth cos of the ruins

[@neonsbian]

Oh My Glob, I didn't expect this, but thank you x1,000,000,000

[@JackdawLT]

Now all the quates of Kitty from Marvel Heroes game make sense. She is so fun. Also, why no mention of Lockheed?

[@Esmeralda2diamon]

I love kitty pryde! :)

[@ili5362]

Same I've always had a crush on her

[@ventusxzephyr13]

You should do a history of Nightcrawler, he's awesome

[@roneyandrade6287]

Very cool video i will also say Kitty is a very underused character with lithe develop I will love that you make a History of Deadpool because well there is a movie on the way

[@beauty.by.nathan7053]

How come like the action figure and some images online show her with a small purple dragon

[@mikeymucho]

I'd love a History of Magik episode! I've recently fallen in love with the character in Uncanny X-Men but I honestly don't know that much about her. Please and Thank You!

[@kirito11305]

the missile event was cool

[@lawrencejones8635]

Idk if any one else said this but he didn't talk about the fact that she found Colossus on Breakworld who was thought to have been dead since the legacy virus (I think) and did the comic mention what happened with their relationship because I know when she came back they were trying to date but then he took on the Juggernaut thing and then become one of the Phoenix Five.

[@brandbordel]

Just a personal note, I like your hair much better short and colorful than long a blond.

[@lucerodelgadillo16]

What the name of the comic where Magneto saves kitty

[@sir.mannington]

I think their doing a pretty nice job with Kitty in the modern comics, with her being the leader and mentor. However I haven't read it in awhile, so I don't know if they've screwed it up since I last read. Like they did with Iceman.

[@VonDerSamford]

omg when I first read this I thought you would be talking about the rapper Kitty (formerly Kitty Pryde)

[@lostgirllindsay1001]

Will you do the history of Joker, i mean it sounds stupid to ask and all but i love how you explain things abd yea.

[@DnDCleric]

That would be awesome, if not difficult to pull off due to a lack of a definite history for the clown prince of crime.

[@remug91]

no mention of her relation with colossus?

[@ItsSuperEffective]

That was a totally intentional thing. Sometimes I'll intentionally miss out a thing or two about characters so if people do choose to go and read the comics, there are still things for them to discover for themselves.

[@Music6446heart]

Well she and Colossus did have a thing which i thought was really cute but apparently this sent bad messages to the audience (Dating a way older guy). So they decided to break the couple up :(

[@tdric_c]

Maddison she dated avalanche in xmen evolution the animated series which is not like in time

[@JackdawLT]

Thats a stupid reason to break them up,! How much older was Collosus at the time?

[@carolinebarros1054]

+JackdawLT I think it was just a little if you read essentials x-men you see that it is about 3 years to 5 only that he is big

[@DaW1L]

What are your thoughts about the addition he brings to the new Star Lord/Guardians comics?

[@zurielpanggabean5685]

please do history of secret society or other villains and forever evil

[@kellygarcia366]

yes kitty mite be in x men new muntants

[@kaylynnjackson3738]

Was jinx from the teen titans an actual character in the comics?

[@petracassio3758]

Didn't Kitty move the school to cental park for a while?

[@darkwraithraziel6362]

You should do a video on Martian Manhunter.
