I found this cool article about 10 favorite foods of superheroes. Its interesting that food has played such a large role in comics. It's so prominent that readers/watchers can pick out a superheroes favorite food just by reading the comics. Thor seems to like Creamsicles; which is featured in the article. Zatanna scours universities for the perfect taco. Several panels feature this because she's visited at least 52 universities. Deadpool likes Chimichangas, and Mexican food in general. The Ninja Turtles looovvee pizza( the picture featured in the article says," No to drugs, yes to pizza.") Birds of Prey eat Chinese food after a mission. Batman arguably loves nachos; a comic also pictures him cooking steak so it could be up for debate. Wolverine's favorite food is a burger with the works. In the Spider-Man comics he loved eating wheat cakes, made by his Aunt May. Superman liked Beef Bourguignon with Ketchup, he was featured ordering it several times. The front of a comic book also shows Superman eating a giant mountain of burgers. Martian Manhunter liked Chocos(which are basically Oreos). The food that these superheroes like is very culturally different but readily evident in the comics that they were featured in. This shows that food had some say in these comics. Batman would eat before crimes, Birds of Prey would relax after a mission by eating, and in the cartoon of Ninja Turtles they are almost always eating pizza. Here is the link if you would like to take a look.
