Shadowcat (Adamantium Claw)

Shadowcat's powers and abilities

Due to an encounter with Fabian Cortez she acquired a portion of Wolverine's powers including her own. Her powers include:

• 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.
[citation needed] 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. She could also enable someone as big as Colossus to "walk on air" along with her; however, she has to maintain physical contact with the individual or object she phased along with herself for the effect to work with this another. 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 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. She can selectively disrupt a person's nervous system in the same way.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Retractable Claw: An adamantium covered claw extruding from her right hand.
  
  
• Retractable Bone Claws: She later developed five bone claws extruding from the fingers in her left hand.
  
  
• Heightened Senses
• Limited Healing Factor

Shadowcat's weaknesses

[*]Mystical Vulnerability: While phasing Shadowcat was still vulnerable to mystical attacks.

[*]Phasing Limitations: Since she was unable to breathe while "inside" an object, she could only continuously phase through solid objects (as when she travelled underground) as long as she could hold her breath. Denser materials were more difficult for Kitty to phase through, sometimes causing her pain. When phasing through Adamantium it makes her sick. Solidifying while in an object could cause serious injury if not death.
