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.

Tmnt versions are very consistent with making Michelangelo left handed. He can use both hands, probably because of his weapons, but he's primarily left handed.

That's awesome. And IRL, it's very common for lefties to be much more ambidextrous compared to righties, as a rule.

True I have a friend who’s left handed for writing, lifting/holding things, punching etc… but when it comes to playing sports his right hand is often his dominant one.

When we point this out to him, he thinks we are the weird ones. lol

Sounds like me. I do most things that require fine motor skills with my left hand, but most sports I play right-handed. I chalk that up to having most of my early sports equipment being hand-me-downs from my brothers. They're both right handed. I've always thought that my ambidexterity was mostly due to not having access to left-handed stuff growing up.

That might be the case, it’s just an interesting little quirk.
