Still reeling from his loss, she ran into an outspoken anti-mutant group, 'Purity', spreading their bigotry on campus. And she kicked the crap out of them, without resorting to mutant powers. That fight almost got Kitty thrown out of university, but she's allowed to remain - given one last chance - as long as she attends mandatory sessions with her new therapist.

''Mekanix'' (later collected as ''X-Treme X-Men: Mekanix'') is a 2002 comic book limited series published by Creator/MarvelComics, part of the wider Franchise/XMen franchise. It's written by Creator/ChrisClaremont with art by Juan Bobillo and Marcelo Sosa. Color art is provided by Edgar Tadeo and Avalon Studios.
The series stars [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]], also known as Shadowcat, and takes place shortly after the annihilation of the mutant nation of Genosha (as seen in ''ComicBook/NewXMen''), directly following on from a story starring Kitty in ''X-Men Unlimited''.
Kitty Pryde's a mutant with the power to [[{{Intangibility}} become intangible]], 'phasing' through solid objects and disrupting electrical devices when she passes through them. For a long time, Kitty was one of the X-Men but, in the end, she saw too much death and lost too many people she loved. And so she moved to Chicago, got a bartending job and started a university course, living a mundane life surrounded by people who have no idea that she has superpowers.
Even after she left the X-Men, death had one final gift for Kitty - her father, a normal human, was in Genosha when the island nation was attacked. Kitty eventually found video footage of him in a crowd, in the final seconds before a huge mutant-hunting robot killed them all.
Still reeling from his loss, she ran into an outspoken anti-mutant group, 'Purity', spreading their bigotry on campus. And she kicked the crap out of them, without resorting to mutant powers. That fight almost got Kitty thrown out of university, but she's allowed to remain - given one last chance - as long as she attends mandatory sessions with her new therapist.
But the 'Purity' rabble-rousers are still about, chasing rumors that there's a mutant on campus and making dangerous schemes to unmask them. And there's something far worse out at sea, a huge black ship sailing to Chicago from dead Genosha.
Kitty wants a normal life. That doesn't mean she's going to get one.
The first issue was released October 1, 2002. The final issue (#6) was released March 1, 2003).
