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.
Glob’s “are you kidding me?” Look has me dying! 🤣
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
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.
I thought the joke was showing 2 of the mutants who you can’t tell are mutants in one panel
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.
Latex body suits… Go all in on the kinks at that point.
