Captain James Hook is the main villain in the novel Peter Pan and its film adaptations.

Background
Captain Hook is a pirate and, like all pirates, he loves gold and treasure. However, when Peter Pan got in the way, Hook lost one of his hands, which was soon eaten by a crocodile named Tick Tock. Hook is forever mad at Pan for what he did and has always been trying (and failing) to take revenge.

Disney
The best-known version of Captain Hook appeared in the 1953 Disney movie Peter Pan which he became one of Disney's memorable.

Return To Never Land
In the sequel Return to Never Land he captures Wendy's daughter Jane and took her as leverage to try and get what he wanted. When he found out that she did not want to be at Never Land, Hook promises her that if she would help him with what he wanted that he would help her with what he wanted. To do so he made up a story in which he claims that he wants to see his mom back home so they would have common ground. He is defeated by Peter and once again falls prey to another sea creature, bizarrely familiar to the ticking crocodile from the first, and flees while the main protagonists celebrate their victory.

Kingdom Hearts
The Disney version of Hook is featured in the original Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days and Birth by Sleep. In the original Kingdom Hearts, he joins forces Maleficent and their fellow Disney villains in an attemp to control the Heartless and rule the universe. He still grudge against his old foe Peter Pan. He tried using the Heartless to destory Peter and his new friends, Sora with Donald Duck and Goofy but he failed and still get chased by the crocodile Tick Tock.

Epic Mickey
Captain Hook appeared in Epic Mickey, but appeared as an animatronic. He was one of the three characters, not created by the Mad Doctor. He is the pirate who turned his former crew into Bashers and caged Pete Pan's Sprite, leaving him unable to fly. To fight Captain Hook by bashing him, Mickey must hit the wheels and he must counterspin the bombs and thin out the barrel until he is destroyed. This earns the Captain Hook Pin and increases the Thinner Capacity. In the deck battle, Mickey must thin out the barrel and keep spinning him until Tick Tock chases him. To save the Sprite, Hook will warn him and Mickey must keep going up the flags of the ship and go to the Sprite. Pete Pan will warn him and Pete Pan will battle him.

In order to get both pins, Mickey must beat Hook and rescue the Sprite and he gets the Captain Hook and Hook vs. Pete Pan pins.

In the good ending, Pete Pan and Captain Hook are fighting. Captain Hook slashes him and he laughs.

In the bad ending, it's revealed that Tick Tock ate him. He is destroyed and his hook is left in the water and his hook sinks.
