At the time, Kitty was sixteen, it was later revealed, and Wisdom was fortyish, maybe not forty but thirty five for sure.

I kinda liked Warren Ellis's Excalibur....

Ellis wrote hte best Excalibur. It was the only time I took the series seriously

Well shes legal......

 

[OutcryX]

maybe by UK standards 16 is legal...but Kitty's American...and she'd have to wait 2 more years in order for getting her cherry popped by a 40yr old to look less gross

 

[Valechan]

It was too gross. And besides he was ugly

 

[Harlekin]

Yeah, she was legal in the UK. And Pete definitely wasn't fortyish. Early 30s to mid 30s.

 

[Valechan]

thirty forty, iran irak... same ****

So what if shes American, she was in England when she had Sex with Wisdom. Also there is no way Kitty was 16, 18 yes but 16....

IA, her age was iffy bc that meant only 2 and a half years had passed since she first joined the X-men and more time definetly passed. The New Mutants/X-force were in their early 20s, and Kitty wasnt that much younger than them

 

[Valechan]

It was revealed in X-Treme that she was about nineteen at the time, if you do the math, she had to be 16 while in Excalibur at the very least.

 

[The Englishman]

Not going by what the comics say but id have put her down as being at least 21.

 

[chris moore]

she was a barmaid - gotta be 21 for that

 

[The Englishman]

she was a barmaid - gotta be 21 for that

Well i always had her down as being as old as Cannonball and not Husk (who i see as being 18).

 

[Specter313]

Actually, over here, you only have to be about 18 or 19 to serve, 21 to drink.

 

[Harlekin]

I believe it was stated in, Mekanix?, that Kitty was working the bar scene illegally, in other words, not twenty-one.

 

[Valechan]

It was stated again in X-Treme 26ish in God Loves Man Kills 2, how I wish I could erase that arc from my mind...

Yes that arc was really Bollocks.....

 

[Valechan]

See? She was 18 when she left the X-Men after Colossus' death, she was thirteen when she joined... ergo she was about 16 when she was with Excalibur.

 

[The Englishman]

OK but i still think she should be around Cannonballs age now and whenever i read Ellis's Excalibur run i always see a 18 year old at least....

It's hard to believe, but this is one of the questions that keeps X-fans
arguing over drinks at all hours of the night. This is because Kitty,
who joined the X-Men in the (our-time) 1970s when she was 13 1/2, was
still a teenager in the 1990s. She was extremely popular with the young
crowd just getting into the Claremont/Byrne run of the X-Men, since she
was roughly their age and was a witty, smart woman that you could either
agree with, or like to date, as the tastes may be. Claremont used to
keep track of her birthdays rather closely, but those eventually fell by
the wayside. She had a birthday in space (14th) during the 160s of UXM,
and she had a birthday in England (15th) in issue #26 of Excalibur.

Kitty made a reference to being old enough to drink in Excalibur #91,
which most people read to say that she was 16 to 18, based on Scottish
law. Warren Ellis, former writer for Excalibur, was quoted as saying he
thought she was 18, which was a proper age for a young woman having lots
of snogging with an older man.

In UXM #379, however, Kitty remarked to Colossus that she was "barely
sixteen." Many fans were upset because it seemed that the writers were
trying to retcon Kitty's likely sexual relationship with Pete Wisdom by
making her underage. The issue was credited to Alan Davis, but the style
of dialogue strongly suggested that Claremont (who was returning to the
titles) had ghostwritten it.

At the 2000 Chicago Wizard World convention, someone asked Claremont to
clarify Kitty's age, and he said: "She is what she is. She is below the
legal age of drinking and always has been." That said, she could be
18 but not 21, especially if Claremont was just referring to the
American drinking age and not the British one (which is eighteen in
Scotland). This is supported by X-Men Unlimited #36, which was written
by Claremont. In that issue, Kitty states that she left Deerfield five
years ago, she is enrolled at the University of Chicago, and she is
working at a bar in Hyde Park. Illinois law requires servers of liquor
to be at least eighteen years old (though one still can't drink until
age 21); additionally, Kitty was 13 1/2 when she left Deerfield. She's
got to be at least 18 or 19 years old by that reckoning.

My choice of Excalibur team would be lead by Banshee (yes his dead but that hasn't stopped anyone incomics before).
Then I woul have Colossus, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Lockheed, Pete Wisdom, Wolfsbane.

They would fight villians like Shadow King, Black Tom Cassidy, Black Air, British branch of Hellfire Club, Avalanche and other european mutants.

Kitty was 14 when Sam was 16. I picture him at about 23, so she'd be 21 now

 

[Colossal Spoons]
