** ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} loses his left hand (and most of the forearm about halfway to the elbow) to [[PiranhaProblem piranhas]] after the villain Charybdis steals his ability to control sea life. At first, he replaces it by simply tying a harpoon head to the stump; later, he's fitted with a more elegant hook that he can launch on command or swap out with a cybernetic hand. In the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' cartoon, he [[LifeOrLimbDecision cut it off himself in order to save his infant son]].

* One yarn involves a pirate with a peg leg, eyepatch, and hook hand recounting to a landlubber how he came to receive each of them. He tells of how he lost his leg to a shark and lost his hand in a skirmish with the Royal Navy, but lastly, he explains that the eyepatch came from a time when he glanced up at the crow's nest and a seagull crapped in his eye. That's not what did it, of course, but [[EyeScream it happened to him on his first day with the hook]].
