When Matt reminds Ben that Nightcrawler is Catholic, he moves him from 5 to 1.

25:02 Kitty Pryde discussion I picked her because she's one of the more attractive X-Men. Right, but also a cartoon. And also a child. Oh. Kitty Pryde, off my list. So just let that sink in. I didn't know! I mean, she grows up. Yeah! In Joss Whedon's one she's grown up! That's what I remember! Come on! Yeah, in Joss Whedon's run she's awesome. More recently, she's taken on the mantle of one of the professors. So she's helps lead some young X-Men. She's totally grown up!
