Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Phasing/Intangibility: Kitty possesses the ability to pass through solid matter and objects by passing her atoms through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which she is moving. In this way she and the object through which she is passing could temporarily merge without interacting, and each is unharmed when Kitty had finished passing through the object. This process is called "phasing". When Shadowcat is phasing, she is, for all intents and purposes, intangible. Hence, when attacked, she can shift into a "phasing" state, even if she is not at the time passing through an object, so as to allow oncoming projectiles or energy blasts to pass through her harmlessly, rendering her virtually untouchable. Kitty passes through objects at the same rate of speed at which she was moving before she "entered" them.
- Selective Phasing/Intangibility: Kitty can make all or part of her body intangible while leaving the rest solid. Using her phasing ability, Kitty can also freely walk on both air and water. In fact, she can use this ability walk from the ground to the upper stories of a building as if she were climbing a staircase.
- Phased/Intangible Extension: From the first use of her phasing power, Kitty was able to phase her clothing along with herself. Through practice, she learned to phase other objects along with herself without harm to them, and at one point phased an entire X-Force. This technique can be used to allow objects to become intangible and pass through bodies or other solid objects such as buildings, planes, or trains.
- Phased/Intangible Camouflage: While phased, Kitty can easily blend into the colors of her immediate surroundings and environments, practically making her, and others in physical contact with her, invisible to anything viewing them with the naked eye. Kitty can also become completely invisible and unseen in shadows.
- Phased/Intangible Disruption: Kitty can easily damage tangible matter by passing right through it. When phasing through an object with an electrical system, the process often disrupts the system's workings.
- Phased/Intangible Travel: While Kitty is phased the planet continues to spin beneath her, allowing her to travel from east to west at a rate of nine kilometres per minute.
- Size Addition: Kitty acquired her abilities through exposure to a Goliath Serum while venturing in Reality-199999, gaining the power to increase her size. Kitty possesses the power to increase her size to gigantic heights, requiring the rapid acquisition of body mass. This extra mass fortifies all of her cellular tissue, including her bones and muscles, enabling her to support her increased weight and giving her superhuman strength and durability. Also, while giant size; Kitty heals at a faster rate than a normal human normally would heal. For example; an injury that would take weeks if not months to heal, instead only take a few days.
