What's this all about, anyway?
It started off as an in-joke among a group of friends, then some people got carried away with it, and now that it's got a website of its own, the joke's probably gone too far. Not that we intend to take this site down anytime soon, though.

Yup, every one of them. Except for Ken.

Are their superpowers based on their real-life personalities or characteristic behaviors?
Depressingly, for the most part, yes.

What's the deal with Ken?
Ken isn't based on a real person. He's a composite. Well, not really, he's mostly made up. He represents the man-in-the-street, as it were. No superpowers, no desire to go off on adventures; he just wants to work hard, live a quiet life, blend into the background...like most any normal person. Ken appears in every episode of the CRAP Chronicles.

What's the deal with the number 143?
The number 143 isn't based on a real number. It's a composite. Yes, literally! It represents x, as it were. No notable properties, no interesting uses; it just blends into the background...like most any other number. The number 143 appears in every episode of the CRAP Chronicles.
