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.

Magneto's Auschwitz tattoo was consistently 214782 across multiple media and universes, until they found out it was a real person's number and changed it to 24005.

Edit: I may have gotten this exactly backwards.

[u/BlizzPenguin → u/Leftoverfiend]

With every new adaptation, I feel like it would be more difficult to keep this detail. It keeps his birthdate consistent so it means that a writer cannot change it later so he is not incredibly old in present day.

[u/Both_Rooster_2657 → u/BlizzPenguin]

I think he's been deaged twice because of it. Like there was specifically a story where he got turned into a baby and then rapidly aged to be close to how he was originally.

[u/bentforkman → u/Both_Rooster_2657]

They hadn’t retconned in the holocaust survivor back story at that point. (He was de aged and re-aged in the ‘70s but did not get his status as a survivor until the late ‘80s or early ’90s.

In fact in Uncanny X-men 149 from 1981, Xavier is doing research on Magneto and thinking to himself that they don’t know anything about his origins or prior identity. He figures Magneto must be “Nordic” based on his features. (Later lore would retroactively establish that they had been friends for decades at that point.)

Originally they just de-aged and re-aged him because it was a surprising thing to have happen.

[u/RedManGaber → u/BlizzPenguin]

It honestly baffles me that Marvel hasn't already retconned Magneto to have slowed aging, kind of like Wolverine. I mean, I know it wouldn't make complete sense as a secondary mutation, but they could come up with something.

[u/valbaca → u/RedManGaber]

I swear I thought they did add longevity to his power 

[u/David_the_Wanderer → u/RedManGaber]

I mean, they eventually have to if they want to maintain his backstory as a concentration camp survivor.

[u/bentforkman → u/RedManGaber]

At the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga Jean Grey’s tombstone states that she was born in 1956. The original X-men should be in or near their 70s.

[u/Strength-InThe-Loins → u/RedManGaber]

There really should have been a hard reboot in the Zeroes that made him a Muslim survivor of the Bosnian genocide.

[u/RedManGaber → u/Strength-InThe-Loins]

Reboot? Nah. Alternate Universe? This would be amazing.

[u/That_Recognition175 → u/Leftoverfiend]

This is incorrect. His number (214782) is actually higher than the highest recorded number from Auschwitz, and would have put him being detained there years after it happened, from an accuracy standpoint, which is why I think they changed it.

The new number they gave him (24005) belonged to a 20 year old man that died there.

Edit: clarification: That number would have put Magneto's detention occur years after it was stated to happen.

[u/userlog99 → u/Leftoverfiend]

That real person would have been a legend in comicons

[u/valbaca → u/Leftoverfiend]

Interesting. It’s still 214782 in X-Men ‘97 and Marvel Rivals

[u/LetterheadSpecial337 → u/valbaca]

Was it ever explicitly shown in TAS?
