Title: Message Well, in current mainstream X books, Kitty is definitely shown as Jewish. She's part of the staff at the Xavier Institute, and always wears a Star of David on a necklace. You must mean "X-Men Unlimited", which has all but sanitized many aspects of the X-Men characters' unique identities, such as Storm being more Americanized.
