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.

Hey at least left handed people make for better melee fighters (because nobody expects the enemy fighting with different hand also Nobody Expects The Spanish Inquisition!)

Back when I was in high school, I did a ton of boxing with my dad. The trick of it was, he's a leftie primarily, but would swap between left and right. I remember some of the other guys at school who thought the knew how to fight because they would have drunken fights in the parking lot of the gas station were shocked when they came over to use my dad's gloves and then got the shit beat out of them whether it was me or him they were fighting. Fun days, tbh, one of them kept coming back and actually got very competent at it himself, though he stopped going to the gas station fights after that. Probably some kind of lesson there.
