With all this talk about whether the old Kitty was better than the new, and
vice-versa, I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned my pet peeve. 
She's only 16 (or so). Why does ANYBODY (esp. Wolverine) want to take orders
from her??? I think at one point, Wolverine mentions that she'd make a good
leader. Baloney!!! She's just a kid!! (I don't care about the genius
business - 16 is 16). I'm surprised that anyone in the X-Men (most of whom
are at least 10 years older) would pay any attention to her suggestions or
orders. Ditto for the New Mutants. In the last couple issues, we see Dazzler
taking orders from one (or more) of those guys. Why would she pay any
attention to battle plans from a teeny-bopper???

I know Marvel doesn't pay too much attention to age (I wouldn't want them 
to - this isn't Young Romance), but let's get real here!
