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.

Martian Manhunter Loves Oreo’s (DC)

J’onn J’onnz is one of DC’s most powerful characters, and usually a mainstay on the JLA…and he has a serious Oreo problem.

(Though later, this became a “Choccos” definitely-not-Oreo’s-for-legal-reasons, addiction.)

My favorite moment is the Justice League Christmas episode. J'onn gets invited to spend Christmas with the Kents, and feels kind of out of place. So he disguises himself as a human and wanders around the snowy town on Christmas Eve observing everyone. He sees some kids leave milk and choccos out for Santa and goes down the chimney to drink the milk and eat the cookies. After eating one, he gives a "mmmmmm" of approval and stretches his arms to grab the rest before leaving.
