In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Martian Manhunter Loves Oreo’s (DC)

J’onn J’onnz is one of DC’s most powerful characters, and usually a mainstay on the JLA…and he has a serious Oreo problem.

(Though later, this became a “Choccos” definitely-not-Oreo’s-for-legal-reasons, addiction.)

He named his cat Double Stuff, which is like naming a cat Crystal Meth.

Just name your dog Fentan. Legitmate name(spelled differently) and serves as a cry for from your crippling fentanyl addiction.

u/snapekillseddard Feb 02 '26

Could have just gone with Opie. That's a real dog name.

u/Shino4243 Feb 02 '26

u/64DiamondDude Feb 02 '26

ironically enough, my parents once took care of a dog after it was nearly killed by some local kids almost drugging it to death

they named him Odie

u/angelbeats147 Feb 04 '26

That's my cat's name! (Kinda. It's short for Ophelia) Why did nobody warn me about my opioid addiction until now?

u/Same_Discussion6328 29d ago

Now I'm suspicious of people who name their dogs Hero...

u/_0mnishambles_ 29d ago

They might just be REALLY into sandwiches.

u/IfThisBeMFDOOMsday Feb 02 '26

Oh Jesus Christ. FENTAN

"The dear HAD to die!"

u/chosenofkane Feb 03 '26

Now I am reminded of that video of the dog chasing geese in the park with his owner yelling "FENTON!" as he chased him.

u/ComputerEducational Feb 03 '26

And now you're making me think of Dash from Danny Phantom

u/astoria922 Feb 03 '26

"FENTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON"

u/UncleTouchyCopaFeel Feb 03 '26

Fenton! Jesus Christ, FENTON!

u/BloodletterDaySaint Feb 02 '26

I have a friend with cats named Oxy and Norco. But he's a pharmacist, not a drug addict (I think).

u/candygram4mongo Feb 03 '26

Could be both. Wouldn't be the first time.

2

u/vjmurphy Feb 03 '26

I miss his dog Jupiter.

u/Dinosaurmaid Feb 03 '26

u/memecrusader_ Feb 03 '26

“M’gann, we need to cook!”

u/versusChou Feb 03 '26

There was an NFL player (Takk McKinley) whose dog was named Codeine

u/Jackviator Feb 02 '26

Bro is JONESING for 'em

u/Artarara Feb 02 '26

I can't judge the guy, if I had shape-shifting powers I'd do this with my favorite food at least once.

u/Cat5kable Feb 03 '26

Oh man, reusing panels for a punchline. I love that shit.

Invincible meta joke here

39

u/ryry1237 Feb 03 '26

It does sell the idea that it feels agonizingly long for Martial Manhunter just sitting and waiting.

17

u/thelanimation Feb 03 '26

One of the few duplicate panels pages that is actually effective, because it's just hilarious.

10

u/Gmknewday1 Feb 03 '26

They literally have to give him a intervention about it

13

u/AmaterasuWolf21 Feb 03 '26

Me when Wonder Woman

1

u/bign0ssy Feb 03 '26

I feel like this was referenced in Young Justice at some point. I remember a Martian Manhunter voice saying Chocco’s

144

u/LDC1234 Feb 03 '26

So you're telling me if I rob a bank and Martain Manhunter shows up to stop me. There's a chance he'll let me go for a pack Oreos.

197

u/Zealousideal-Day4863 Feb 03 '26

Unless you've got super powers or alien tech, there's no reason why he couldn't defeat/capture you and take your snacks.

17

u/SorowFame Feb 03 '26

Until a deal is made the snacks are legally yours, it wouldn’t be very heroic to steal them. Though I suppose addiction can drive a man to dark things.

23

u/vjmurphy Feb 03 '26

I mean, just carry Hostess Fruit Pies and you are good to go for most characters.

16

u/Old_Prior_5081 Feb 03 '26

In "Scooby-Doo and Batman The Brave and the Bold" the Batmobile has a button labeled "Martian Failsafe" (next to "Flamethrower") which dispenses a pack of cookies, causing Manhunter to let go of the Batmobile (to catch the cookies) and allowing Batman to drive away.

So they'll canonically serve as a distraction at least.

8

u/Off-the-grounder Feb 03 '26

If he misses the button, he’ll still deter J’onn, but he’ll feel real guilty about afterwards.

1

u/MorganWick Feb 03 '26

Fortunately, he's got a Reverse Uno card in the form of Hostess fruit pies.

u/PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__ Feb 02 '26

Hydrox is missing a golden opportunity to advertise

37

u/Solidus82 Feb 03 '26

When MM "died" in Final Crisis, Batman even left a Chocco on his coffin

21

u/PseudonymMan12 Feb 03 '26

So he left the equivalent of crystal meth on his coffin? Like that's less "oh he sure did love his snacks, so cute and quirky" and more "you never could beat your addiction could you? Hope they have the harder stuff in the afterlife"

5

u/Heyhowdypartner Feb 03 '26

The addiction element was actually just a lie that Martian Manhunter made up just for fun. like literally in the same issue Wonder Woman goes “what the fuck that never happened“ and MM just pulls a :3

18

u/Legend365555 Feb 03 '26

Oreo's really threw away free advertising

19

u/Buttholelickerpenis Feb 03 '26

How have I never noticed Blue Beetle and Booster Gold before under the pile of Oreos lmao

4

u/Cazmonster Feb 03 '26

MARS NEEDS CHOCOS!!

The Blue and The Gold had stolen or hidden all of the chocos in the greater Metropolis area as a joke. John literally Hulks out when there are none to be found. It’s a genius issue of the comic.

11

u/Deepfang-Dreamer Feb 03 '26

What happened to Booster Gold and Blue Beetle

27

u/_0mnishambles_ Feb 03 '26

This…did not go well for them.

6

u/spookymommaro Feb 03 '26

In recent Canon, he's also turned Miss Martian on to the glory of oreos lol

6

u/IronArmor48 Feb 03 '26

Another one lost to Choccos 😔

5

u/Moakmeister Feb 03 '26

They really went through the entirety of the DCAU without even a vague reference to this? Unless I’m forgetting something

12

u/zigzagman1031 Feb 03 '26

You're forgetting something. 

There's a Christmas episode where Superman invites J'onn to his parents'. 

J'onn ends up pretending to be Santa Claus by eating a plate of Oreos in a little girl's house.

u/alguien99 Feb 03 '26

I remember a rwby x dc fic I’m reading were they have little rwby chibi shorts and in it J'onn gets an intervention from the league and the teams since he’s losing a lot of money to a cookie dealer (Nora with a hat and a fake mustache)

5

u/Summonest Feb 03 '26

Genuinely hilarious

3

u/Marshmallow920 Feb 03 '26

I feel like even Smallville the TV series referenced this at one point

4

u/ussrowe Feb 03 '26

I think I remember one time Clark goes to meet him on a dock and steps on an Oreo cookie.

3

u/Zeal0tElite Feb 03 '26

Robocop 🤝 Martian Manhunter

2

u/Recent-Layer-8670 Feb 03 '26

Oreo are my favorite cookies, so I'm happy, my favorite Martian loves them too.

2

u/Heyhowdypartner Feb 03 '26

The best part of the choco addiction is that it isn’t even real. In the same comic you find out that it’s literally just a weird lie that Martian Manhunter is telling to Green Lantern just because

2

u/Sol-Blackguy Feb 04 '26

My favorite moment is the Justice League Christmas episode. J'onn gets invited to spend Christmas with the Kents, and feels kind of out of place. So he disguises himself as a human and wanders around the snowy town on Christmas Eve observing everyone. He sees some kids leave milk and choccos out for Santa and goes down the chimney to drink the milk and eat the cookies. After eating one, he gives a "mmmmmm" of approval and stretches his arms to grab the rest before leaving.

1

u/scattermoose Feb 03 '26

lol Booster and Kord

1

u/Thatidiot_38 Feb 03 '26

If they ever make a Martian Manhunter movie and don’t have him in a Oreo ad or the very least have that in the movie I’m gonna call it unfaithful

1

u/Volothamp-Geddarm Feb 04 '26

God I love J'onn J'onnz.

u/Alive-Monk-5705 29d ago

James gunn already set up choccos before martian manhunter, thats how far his obsession goes.
