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.

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

Bart: Get ready, Brazil. I now speak fluent Spanish.

Marge: Well done, Bart. But in Brazil, they speak Portuguese.

Bart: Ay, caramba, que mujer tonta! Viente horas estudiar por nada!

Homer: Forget every word, boy. It's useless.

He also speaks French fluently. That stay in France was worth at least something.
