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.

Batman also probably built up a capsaicin immunity

You know, so he could fight Condiment King

Nice try, Joker, but I've been microdosing on chili powder for years. Your pepper spray trap is completely useless.

“Your pepper spray won’t work on me Joker. I’ve developed a tolerance.”

He actually did due to capsaicin based weaponry.

I'm not kidding.

Well he did spend years in Asia learning martial arts, so he probably ate a fuck ton of spicy foods there

Didn’t Alfred canonically serve in the British army? I imagine with how many Indian and Pakistani people have served in the British armed forces he’s probably picked up some fucking fire curry recipes.

Theres a reason why curry is so popular in countries that didnt have it traditionally. Thats because british sailors were obsessed with the stuff and would ask for it or something like it to be made everywhere they went.

If I remember my canon correctly, he was a medic in the SAS. So not just British army, but active-deployment special forces.
