Kitty's power sounds simple until you look at what she does with it. She can get through barriers, avoid physical attacks and disrupt machinery by passing through it. With practice, she can bring other people through with her. But she still has to think. She can't just spend an unlimited amount of time inside solid material without needing air. And having a way to avoid a punch doesn't automatically tell her how to defeat whoever threw it. Uncanny #143 puts that to work. She's alone in the mansion at Christmas when a N'Garai demon comes after her. Nobody is standing behind her waiting to finish the fight. She runs, improvises and uses what she knows about the mansion. Eventually she uses the Blackbird's engines against it. That's a hell of a situation to put a new student in. She survives because she keeps figuring things out while this thing is trying to kill her.
