Captain Hook is a thin man with long black hair, a large hooked nose, a thin black moustache that curves sharply upward, and a large chin. He is usually clean-shaven, but sometimes (even in the same film) he has stubble, which makes his chin look gray. He wears a white frilled tie under a red coat with a gold lining and red cuffs. On each of these cuffs are two gold cufflinks. Under his coat is a pink turtleneck with white frills on each sleeve. He also wears an orange belt over his right shoulder, which holds the scabbard of his sword on his left hip. He wears pink pants and white knee-length socks, as well as black shoes with a pink circle adorning each. The tongues of his shoes are huge, reaching halfway up his calves. He wears a large crimson hat with a huge lavender feather stuck in it. As a weapon he carries a rapier with a golden hilt and guard. On his left hand he has a hook made of silver or gold, depending on the occasion. The main antagonist of the 1953 Disney animated film Peter Pan. He is an elegant but dastardly pirate who commands the Jolly Roger, a brig moored off the coast of Neverland. Hook has long since given up sailing the high seas in favor of exacting revenge on Peter Pan for cutting off his left arm and feeding it to a crocodile, which has plagued the captain ever since. Although a worthy adversary for Peter, Hook is destined to fail—sometimes due to Pan's ability to fly, but more often than not, due to the bumbling incompetence of his first mate, Mr. Smee.

Captain Hook is emotionally vulnerable, often making a fool of himself. However, he usually acts as a formidable and cunning villain who never gives up on his goals, especially his desire for revenge against Peter Pan. He is also a murderous character, almost to an extreme degree; at one point in the film, he callously shoots one of his crew members for his annoying singing. Later, he viciously throws another pirate overboard using only his hook. Although Hook is comical and sometimes clumsy, he is a force to be reckoned with, both physically and mentally. His extremely fragile nature often puts those around him at risk, with Peter Pan being the only person truly skilled enough to confront the villainous captain.

Hook is extremely intelligent and manipulative, aided by his charming and affable personality. He is capable of deceiving anyone, even those who are well aware that he cannot be trusted. Captain Hook also seems to have a penchant for finding loopholes in agreements or contracts, or demonstrating obedience to the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law.

Hook is extremely clever and prone to manipulation, aided by his charming and affable personality. He is capable of deceiving anyone, even those who are more than aware that he cannot be trusted. Captain Hook also seems inclined to find loopholes in agreements or contracts, or to demonstrate adherence to the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law. For example, when Hook was forced to promise that he would not touch Peter Pan with a finger or a hook, he agreed, but instead he planted a bomb disguised as a gift in Peter's hideout. In the sequel, after he personally wrote and signed a contract swearing he would not touch a hair on Peter's head, he plucked that hair from the captured Peter and gave it to Jane, telling her to keep it; he would destroy the rest of Peter.

Captain Hook is one of the few villains who considers his sidekick not only a henchman, but also a friend. Although Hook is incredibly cruel, deadly, short-tempered, and shows no care for his crew, he seems to tolerate only Mr. Smee's clumsy actions. Hook has been shown to kill members of his crew out of irritation and annoyance, but despite Smee's constant irritation, Hook has never shown a desire to kill him (though he has tried to beat Smee for his stupidity, but was always interrupted). Beyond that, Captain Hook also considers Smee his confidante, sharing personal thoughts with Smee, and is the first person he turns to when frightened, which is atypical for a villain as often called as Hook.
