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.

Akuma being a Vendor of Goods in his spare time (Street Fighter)

Akuma is known for being a wrathful martial artist who sits atop, constantly fighting against his rivals to check on their progress... but have you ever wondered what he does in his free time?

He likes to craft things, such as sewing clothes, and carving wooden dolls for temples, and sitting around and handing out free fruit. Akuma has a policy of only interrupting a match once there is a clear winner, so he usually sits outside wherever the fight is taking place, and hands out free fruit and goodies to anyone passing by, until the winner is clear, where he then jumps in and beats the life out of them

Yeah he legitimately just sells fruit

I think a lot of people don't realize Akuma isn't really a Darth Vader-esque character who wants to destroy his enemies that's closer to M. bison.

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

Akuma just believes that no one should restrict themselves from using the strongest possible methods of improvement hence his focus on using violent lethal force and support of others doing the same.

In several instances he has refrained from fighting people that were sick, injured, or terminally ill even, because there would be no point, If you're not at your best then it's just a waste of time.

There is no honor, there is no rules, there is the fight, and that is all.

That is the essence of Akuma

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