An alternate backstory prequel movie about Kitty Pryde, based on a sci-fi/adventure videogame by David Cage: as Aiden merged into the Infraworld, leaving Jodie unbound, she physically developed all of Aiden’s supernatural powers as a mutation, such as that of 'phasing' through walls and travel consciousness back in time; having borrowed his powers, and thanks to the Navajo talismans they retrieved in the Mojave quest, she can physically project her own consciousness and that of others into the past (like in X-Men: Days of Future Past). Turns out that the ‘Black Sun' incident cauterized the link between Jodie and Aiden; moreover, her SHIELD profile also says "she has intangibility, a gifted intellect and she is a skilled fighter" (due to her former Agency training). Owing to her powers background, Professor X traces her down through Cerebro in order for her to join his team, then she would go by her new ID which Nathan granted in reward to her last mission to start a new life: Katherine Pryde
