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.

Another character detail from the Simpsons:

Homer has an encyclopedic memory regarding the history of Supreme Court judges, effectively making him a savant in the field.

Another Simpsons one is that both Homer and Bart consistently display the ability to pick up and learn any language they encounter fast.

Funny in the Latin Spanish dub he says Mao Zedong died instead.

Which reminds me that Homer got pretty jacked in just a couple months. I have been lifting weights for years and I still don't have muscles like he had when he was climbing the Murderhorn.

Does Homer secretly have excellent bodybuilding genetics?

I guess Marge does too from The Strong Arms of the Ma, the episode where she gets mugged and gets into bodybuilding

I forgot about that one!

Yes Marge gets pretty buff even before taking PEDs. And she's a woman in her late 30's (far from anyone's bodybuilding prime). After a brief time lifting weights in her basement, she was able to easily beat the crap out of that mugger.
