I'm pretty sure Beast is eating a burger here, but I can't see it as anything but an homage/crossover with the Cookie Monster

My guess is that the artist or someone realized that: Beast is big and shaggy and blue. Inevitably, he is going to look like cookiemonster to some extent. So they hung a lantern on it
Funnily enough, this was addressed directly in the comic with the Morlocks. The mutants unable to pass and were living in the sewers under New York.
X-Men #169 to their ultimate elimination in the Mutant Massacre in #210-214, X-Factor #9-11, and New Mutants #46. Also touched on Thor, Power Pack and Daredevil.
Did Thor ethnically cleanse them under the pretext of a terror attack?
Kind of, he summoned a firestorm to incinerate all the bodies in the tunnels.
AND THE LIFE OF THE EBONY CLOCK WENT OUT WITH THAT OF THE LAST OF THE GAY.
Ah, the 80s...
Makes sense since the Iron Age symbol for Thor was a swastika /s
In the 90s X-Men animated series, there was an episode where there was a city wide mutant attack pushed by the Friends of Humanity. One of the scenes had a guy explaining he just looks different and that he has no real powers. 😢
He's probably in a gang.
Are the Morlocks a gang?
No, they are an allegory.
Well, we won't hold that against you, that's for every man to decide for himself.
While Rogue looks normal, her superpower is somewhat disabling. If she touches anyone, she will cause them harm.
X3 highlights this.
Gloves.
The fact that magneto used his powers to groom her as a child doesn't help anyone in the story.
You’re not doing it on purpose but your comment does highlight the ease people dismiss the social experience of hidden disability.
-
Oh your that (weird) person always wearing gloves.
-
Why are you so sensitive about your gloves?, just take em off.
-
Someone tried to rip off her gloves the other day and they are in the hospital now.
Comments in this style are more common for teens but the sense of not belonging even if for something at first glance mundane lasts well into adulthood.
Additionally, gloves and long sleeves only solve incidental contact; she can't be intimate with someone, for example.
I can accept Panel 4 as Hank may be having a veggie burger. However Panel 3 breaks it for me. There is no world where in every day life Logan feels for Scott. I can suspend my disbelief for almost any magical, SciFi, super natural or even fairy tail story. However panel 3 I can not believe.
Matt Murdock: “Wuss.”
Matt Murdock
Not a mutant
If the ninja turtles are mutants, so is Matt Murdock.
If Mirage/Image comics had anything to do with Marvel, you might have a point.
Even within Marvel, is he genuinely not a mutant? I swear I've read a comic where he suspects that the substance that blinded him, not only sharpened his other senses but even made him smarter to some degree. Sure, Stick honed his senses, so there's a self-development aspect of it too, and his parents might have not carried the X-gene or whatever it is, but ultimately his powers comes from a mutation in his DNA no?
Glob's "are you kidding me?" Look has me dying! 🤣
At the point X-Men stories usually are, Hank and Kurt cope so hard they actually enjoy the attention.
