Origin:

Kitty 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.

Creation:

Kitty 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
