She was also described as being 14 in 1983 when The New Mutants got their own ongoing title. The character of Kitty Pryde was introduced in 1980, and was described at the time as being 13 and a half. The formula for which it argues is 1 comic year for every 3.5 real-world years.Īs noted there, it's a fair deduction that she was intended to be at least about 18 when she had a sexual relationship with significantly older Pete Wisdom in 1996. This can't really be answered definitively for a given reader date unless a particular comic pins down her age, but there was an article written about this very question, "The Pryde Scale or Fun With Aging in the Marvel Universe" by Edward WinterRose (first published to The Bendis Board in 2008, then republished in 2015 at Observation Deck, which was hosted by io9 at the time). Are there any other indications of how old Kitty is in Earth-616? They have since both grown up and consummated that relationship.ĭespite there being a lot of attention being paid to her age early on, there does not seem to be many clues to Kitty's current age. From the very beginning there was a love interest between Kitty and Piotr Rasputin (Colossus), but editors didn't approve of a 14 and 19 year old in a relationship (Archived link). She has graduated from the X-Men, joined Excalibur and returned back to the X-Men (repeatedly). In Earth-616, Kitty has grown up and graduated college (though being a genius means this probably happened at an accelerated rate). This, of course, creates some continuity issues (Archived link) although we have now caught up with the year of The Days Of Future Past, none of the characters depicted have visibly aged nearly as much as the story showed us. We are not explicitly told her age, but she is visibly older - arguably 30 years older than her then-current 13 year old self.Ĭomics, in general, use a sliding time scale where time only really passes as necessary - or to make important relevant links to reality (e.g.: The Amazing Spider-Man #36). In Uncanny X-Men 141, we are shown a grown up Katherine Pryde - specifically in the year 2013. When Kitty Pryde was introduced in Uncanny X-Men 129, she was described as being 13 years old.
