Even setting aside any criticisms you might have against the stories she has been in I feel like by sheer volume we're just getting way less stuff for Kitty than for a lot of the other major X-Men right now.

All the Louisiana X-Men, which includes Rogue, Gambit, Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Jubilee as well as the Alaskan X-Men with characters like Cyclops, Magneto, Magik and Psylocke are all on bi-weekly books. So even if a character doesn't have a major appearance in a given issue you only have to wait two weeks before getting another update.

Meanwhile, Kitty is one of the biggest names amongst the X-Men that was left out of the bi-weekly books and put in a monthly book that wasn't a solo series. Exceptional was the only one out of the three big titles labelled "X-Men" that was on the Stegman promotional art that wasn't biweekly.

There was also a full six months between the end of Exceptional and the start of United. A hell of a lot longer wait than for any of the other books. And once United actually started Kitty seems to be little more than a glorified extra so far.

And even with her making a return to being an X-Man there is still next to nothing. I feel like her return should have been made into a bigger deal. It was a whole thing during the Fall of Krakoa that she was leaving, it's one of the big ramifications we see in the epilogue to the Fall of the House of X event. But her returning is just treated with zero fanfare. She seems to be treated as an X-Man again in X-Men United with no real major mention given to her being back.

There's also the fact that she seems to not be involved with any of the upcoming events. Right now we have several upcoming events that will involve the X-Men and Kitty doesn't seem to be set to even appear in any of them. It seems like the closest Kitty might get to interacting with the rest of the X-Men world will be this years Hellfire Murder Mystery. But that story seems set to mostly focus on Wolverine and Jubilee.

It will soon be two years since the end of Krakoa and in that time all we've gotten is a depression storyline that was started, wasn't developed, and was then wrapped up so unceremoniously it might as well have ended off page. While also segmenting Kitty away from any of her friends and allies that we might want to see her interact with. I feel like Marvel should be able to do a lot more than that.

According to the wiki Kitty is 5’0” which is below average height for a woman by about 4-5 inches.

When Logan calls her “half pint” she seems offended and throughout the show Kitty wears platform sandals which make her look taller which she probably wore to compensate for her height.

It’s a nice detail that makes her seem more human.

I will say that if any short ladies are reading this you should know that you’re amazing especially because of your short stature.
