Shadowcat possesses the ability to "phase" or literally pass through solid matter by passing her atoms through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which she is moving. Utilizing her phasing ability, she can also walk on air. While phasing, she is intangible and thus invulnerable to physical attacks and telepaths have a hard time reaching her mind in phased form. Her phasing powers also disrupt any electronic equipment she passes through. For some time after she discovered her powers, she was only able to phase herself and her clothes along with her. However, she quickly learned to phase other people and objects with her.
Due to a battle injury, Kitty Pryde became unable to control her phasing abilities and nearly faded out of existence. Although Reed Richards and Doctor Doom saved her life, for years she was only able to become solid through great effort; she has since overcome this disability.

I really wish people would stop quoting Wiki as a source of knowledge. It's about as useful as quoting other board members posts, since those are the people who wrote those entries.
This covers one accounting of her powers. But it doesn't discuss her need to hold her breath the way she been shown to have to do in certain issues. Are there any Marvel Official entries on her around lately?
No one appears to have pointed a reason why thunderclap or sonics wouldn't work against her, so I say that Thing could potentially beat her. While she can hide in objects, she needs to breathe eventually so as long as Thing stays out of her reach and times a thunderclap than he could win. Hulk is more likely to pull that off. As for IM, all he has to do is stay out of her range (not hard) and if he doesn't have a sonic based weapon, just make a sonic boom and he can take her down.
Shadowcat isn't affected by sound when phased. u must remeber that sound is just air moving in a distinct way. a simply rule (95% true) to remeber what kitty's phase works on is this : SC's phase negates all effects of matter to kitty, this includes forces presented by matter such as electricity and gravity.
