What Your Favorite Superheroes’ Foods Reveal About Them
Superheroes aren’t just busy saving the multiverse all the time. They get hungry, too. Remember that iconic Avengers post-credit scene where everyone sat silently chewing shawarma? That single gag actually gave the U.S. shawarma industry a noticeable boost. Food has always slipped into comics and films in sneaky ways, and fans love pointing out their heroes’ go-to meals. So, if you think about it, knowing a hero’s favorite dish might just be as important as knowing their secret identity.
Pizza Explains the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Laid-Back Nature
Everyone knows the Turtles love pizza, which is not really surprising since they live in New York. But these green guys didn’t always live by the code, “No to drugs, yes to pizza.” In the original comics, the four brothers had a taste for pepperoni and anchovies, but they actually ate them out of convenience rather than desire. Today, thanks to product placement and movie tie-ins, you can’t separate the TMNT and their favorite food. Hopefully Master Splitter has enough money to cover all the takeout bills.
Thor’s Sweet Tooth Shows His Softer Side
In the comics, Thor has a bit of a sweet tooth. The Norse God has a weakness for junk food, especially Pop-Tarts and creamsicles. Don’t forget his appreciation for coffee and beer – which we’ve seen in the MCU too. Remember what he looked like in Endgame?
Wolverine’s Food Matches His No-Nonsense Attitude
Logan is a simple man with simple tastes. Give Wolverine a greasy burger, a bag of chips, and a cold beer, and he’s set. No fine dining, no delicate plating—just the kind of food you can devour with your hands while glaring at anyone who dares make small talk. We expect nothing else from Wolverine. His appetite is as straightforward as his attitude.
Batman’s Ever-Changing Menu Reveals His Contradictions
In the animated Batman series, Bruce Wayne casually declared nachos his favorite food—only to later insist, “Batman does not eat nachos!” Make up your mind, Bruce. Of course, the billionaire has also been spotted savoring a proper steak, proving his taste buds are as inconsistent as Gotham’s weather. Poor Alfred must be running himself ragged trying to keep up with these shifting cravings. Being the Dark Knight’s butler is already a full-time gig, but apparently it also comes with the world’s most unpredictable dinner menu.
Spider-Man’s Wheat Cakes Keep Him Grounded
While other heroes chow down on steak or shawarma, Spider-Man swears by Aunt May’s wheat cakes. Wheat cakes? Really, Peter? It’s not exactly the thrilling meal you’d expect from New York’s web-slinger, but family recipes have their grip. Sure, it’s not pizza or hot dogs, but when your aunt whips up a stack of wheat cakes with love, you stick with them.
Oh, and he also loves Aunt May’s cherry pie.
Martian Manhunter’s Cookie Obsession Makes Him Relatable
Martian Manhunter might be one of DC’s most powerful heroes, but his weakness isn’t kryptonite. It’s cookies. DC’s alien superhero loves a cookie called Chocos (which are basically Oreos). In the Justice League animated series, “Comfort and Joy”, J’onn lands on a child’s roof and reaches down the chimney for cookies, which are drawn like Oreos. Not menacing at all. It’s just a towering alien with glowing red eyes stealing snacks from a child.
Superman’s Beef Bourguignon Says He’s Still a Kansas Farm Boy at Heart
Superman may be from Krypton, but his taste buds are firmly planted on Earth. No, he is not a vegetarian. Superman is a meat-eater. He enjoys beef bourguignon with ketchup, so much that Lois nicknamed him BBWK. But hey, if you’re strong enough to bench-press a planet, you’ve earned the right to eat your beef bourguignon however you want.
Deadpool’s Chimichangas Are Pure Chaos
Deadpool’s taste in food is as crazy as his personality. The guy has an undying love for chimichangas. The Merc With The Mouth has turned the deep-fried Mexican dish into his signature snack, practically making it part of his brand today. Fans joke that he’s done more for chimichangas than any restaurant chain ever could.
