But at least a \"good\" timeline where Mutants lived appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also because Kitty had not undergone systematic training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were trained by Aaron, her phasing ability would become much stronger. Perhaps she could even phase through time and space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, theory is just theory.
