Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on July 25, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Sumela Kay! No mutant power beats being the original Kitty Pryde—jumping through walls and right into our hearts. Your portrayal not only set the standard for Kitty, but also ensured generations would try (and mostly fail!) to walk through solid objects without injury.

Though many years have flown by since your groundbreaking debut, fans still celebrate you as their favorite young X-Men heroine. Here's hoping this year brings as much joy and adventure off-screen as you've given audiences on-screen over time. Enjoy your day suitably: maybe chill out with Wolverine—but keep claws safely tucked away!
