From the nerdy newcomer to the independent leader, Kitty's come a long way. Let's all discuss her journey!

Probably an unpopular opinion but they need to bring her green/yellow costume back! It's so underrated. i feel like it gave her personality. Although the generic, yellow X-costume she's used for so long has grown on me kind of. The green and yellow is honestly probably my favorite though.

I feel like Jean and Banshee have the market cornered on the green and yellow looks. I would prefer a more modern take on her Shadowcat outfit. I'm tired of the yellow pajamas. Even her Guardians costume I like more than her current one.

She worked the Star-Lord outfit really well, so I'd create a costume that incorporated a (dark blue) jacket and knee high boots.

That's a good point, actually. Although Rogue used it after Jean and Banshee and she probably has the most memorable use of it.

The only thing I don't like about the Shadowcat costume is it doesn't really match her personality. I can see a modern take on it being potentially edgy. Maybe if they brightened up the blue it could work. I imagine her wearing something with bright colors.

she needs to use a sword again

She has one of the most amazing mutations out there for sure

And I love how sort of level-headed and down to earth she is but also kind of sassy. Just a genuine personality

I would also like to see that comeback. Most writers haven't taken full advantage of her ninja skills. In fact I only really remember her using them effectively in the Shadow & Flame mini series.

And no mask. The final GOTG costume fits the bill, it's light blue.

Do you have a picture? I only see her in variations of Star Lords outfit.

Happy anniversary to Kitty's only good post-Bendis moment!

Why are we calling Kitty “Kate” now?

Serious question. I stopped HOX POX after issue 1.
