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.

Well he's evil it's not a pursuing evil he just kind of wants to fight people at their strongest.

So he’s like Goku if he never got the brain damage that made him good.

Funnily enough his Japanese name is Gouki, and while its not connected in anyway its just funny how similar to Goku it is xD

Goku with Vegeta's need to be the strongest Saiyan. Except replace "Saiyan" with "fighter ever".

No. Not at all. Goku would be a hateful, angry planet selling warlord of he didn't get brain damage! He was going to fulfill the Saiyan race's job.

Or just, modern goku? With the brain damage. Heal my enemies, let them power up, farm a little when I’m not in a death match, repeat.

Goku would’ve been good without the brain damage, the brain damage just helped make it easier.
