- Hans has abnormally small pinkies, and they are located slightly lower than average on the palm of his hand. Scientists theorize that his desire to become a living cartoon as a child was so powerful, that it actually stunted their growth in attempts to become four fingered on each hand.
- Hans Van Harken's middle name is 'Joseph', named after his uncle Joseph Van Harken, who is the only other creative person among the brainy Van Harken bunch.
- Hans' mother said that when he was a baby, he didn't eat a sweet cookie until he was 3 or 4 years old. "He only wanted to eat things like olives, anchovies, and anything with vinegar on it as snacks!" She exclaimed.
- Contrary to seemingly obvious belief, Hans Van Harken is not actually Dutch. In fact, he's a mixture of Spanish, Mexican, Irish, Caribbean, and varied Mediterranean. His Jewish grandfather was adopted by a Dutch Catholic family in New York city and inherited their name. His mother named him Hans after Hans Christian Anderson and so that his initials would be the symmetrical 'HVH'.
- Hans speaks three and a half languages. English, Spanish, and a bit of Catalan, the language spoken in Barcelona's region. Being that he has family in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Spain, he can speak in each of those 3 accents fluently. In fact, his neutral Spanish speaking voice confuses people of each region, being that his accent is kind of a mixture of all of them.
