**Captain James Bartholomew Hook** (better known as **Captain Hook**) is the main antagonist of the *Peter Pan* franchise. He is Peter Pan's arch-nemesis.

In the original film, he was famously played by the late Hans Conried. In modern media, he was voiced by Corey Burton.

## His Qualities

### What Makes Him Entertaining?

* More than any other Disney Villains regarding their relationships with their conspirators, Hook has a genuine friendship with Mr. Smee.
* He is an intelligent trickster, as shown when he tricked Tinker Bell into revealing Peter Pan's hideout and locked her in a lantern, in order to prevent her from warning Peter Pan and prevent Hook from kidnapping Wendy, John, Michael and the Lost Boys.
	+ When he realizes that Jane Darling wants to go home, he promises to take her back home to London if she helps him find the treasure. But when Jane indirectly accomplishes her goal after subverting her rude attitude to Peter and the Lost Boys, Hook betrays her and captures Peter and the Boys.
* The voice acting and live-action referencing by the legendary Hans Conried is considered to be one of the best highlights of the movie.
	+ Even Corey Burton arguably does a great job taking over as Hook after Conried's death in 1982.
* He happens to have a tragic past when his left hand got cut off by Peter Pan, who fed it to the crocodile and caused Hook to have PTSD and fear the Crocodile.
* He can be a scapegoat as he gets into humiliating defeats after trying to fight with Peter Pan.
* He has several comedic moments, such as him trying to escape from the Crocodile that ate his left hand.

### What Makes Him Detestable?

* On the other hand, Hook is defined by his vengeful, hateful, and murderous streak that led to his defeats.
* Not counting Mr. Smee, Hook is a bad boss to his pirate crew that are not immune to his bad temper or insults, killing Skylights for annoying him for singing, throwing Gentleman Starkey overboard after hearing no splash, and calling them "fools" or “bilge rats” while trying to capture back the children.
* He is shown to have a hatred towards children, as proven when he and his fellow pirate crew captures the Darling children and the Lost Boys in order to force them to become pirates or be executed by walking the plank.
	+ He also captured and took Jane to Neverland and betrayed her by capturing Peter Pan and the Lost Boys in *Return to Neverland*.
* He is responsible for capturing Tiger Lily that made the Native Chief and his pack frame the Lost Boys for the crime Hook committed.
