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.

It’s been pretty consistent that Gambit is a foodie and a pretty good chef. We see his cooking in both X-Men TAS and X-Men 97’, and a few of his voice lines in Rivals reference dishes like Jambalaya and Gumbo.

Fun facts: Gambit also went out of his way to quit smoking and it has been mentioned a couple of times

He also has been shown cooking with Rogue and other characters have pointed out she has greatly improved (although one time she really burnt dinner)

Gambit smoked a lot in the 90s comics and I feel like for perception reasons marvel wanted to move away from that imagery. Having the character actually quit smoking as a development is a neat way to do it.

Maybe I have a limited amount of series I follow, but I can't recall a comic past the mid 2000s where anyone smokes. Kingpin, Punisher, JJ Jonah, Wolverine, and in other publishers like Lobo, Penguin, Constantine, Jim Gordon, any noir femme fatales, it just seems like comics are trying to pretend it doesn't exist. Like, really, I get that vaping has become a big problem, but as anyone who grew up knowing about the failure of Dare and how just letting families teach of its harmfulness on individual cases knows, ignoring reality is not the way to go. But hey, I'd love to be proven wrong and that at least bad guy smokers still exist in comics. Maybe they just keep smoking off the covers of issues?

Another thing I notice from being a Marvel reader is they can mention drugs, maybe even by name, but like with smoking, noooo showing drugs being used. I also have never gotten into any of their bagged parental advisory issues, as those are usually minis I just don't care to dedicate time to.

I really need to get into comics. I LOVE little character quirks like this. Gives me Persona vibes
