Terri Pryde

Terri Pryde is the mother of Kitty Pryde, the X-Man known as Shadowcat. A ordinary human resident of Deerfield, Illinois, she was introduced alongside her daughter during the storyline that first brought Kitty to the X-Men's attention.

Terri Pryde made her Marvel debut in the landmark Bronze Age issue The X-Men #129 (1980), brought to life by the legendary creative team of Chris Claremont and John Byrne during one of the most celebrated runs in comics history. As an X-Men–affiliated character whose catalog appearances span a remarkable thirty years, she's a quietly enduring presence in the Marvel universe, sharing pages with icons like Wolverine, Scott Summers, and Kitty Pryde across the pages of The Uncanny X-Men and beyond. Two of her appearances carry key-issue weight with collectors, a testament to the significance of the stories she's woven into. For fans who love digging into the rich supporting fabric of the X-Men world, Terri Pryde is one of those rewarding discoveries hiding in plain sight.
