* ManipulativeBastard: Hook is very good at reading out how people work and pushing people's buttons. He first plays on Tinker Bell's abandonment, then on Wendy's insecurities about both growing up and Pan being unable to truly understand her, almost convincing her to join his crew. Finally, understanding Peter's feelings better than he does, he thoroughly breaks him with words alone.

* PrecociousCrush: Actor Jason Isaacs, who played Hook in the film, stated that Wendy Darling had an AllGirlsWantBadBoys crush on the older pirate due to his handsome looks and dark allure: "J.M. Barrie wrote a book about a little girl [Wendy] who was hitting puberty...in those days, [in the Edwardian era], that meant you'd better have sex, have children, and build a family...[so she goes to Neverland], but there's only one man in that world [Hook], and he's strangely attractive. Sexually, there's something weird about his allure, but he's also repulsive." While Wendy is 12-13 years old in the film, Hook looks to be about 40 years old.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: On top of being scary, he's played up as attractive. ''Literature/PeterPan'' author also described him as such: "In a word, [Captain James Hook was] the handsomest man I have ever seen, though, at the same time, perhaps slightly disgusting."

* Really700YearsOld: While Hook's exact age is unknown, he is heavily implied to be from the Golden Age of Piracy, which was from 1650 to 1726. In the original ''Literature/PeterPan'' book, author J.M. Barrie also notes that Hook served as "Blackbeard's bo'sun", with Blackbeard being active as a pirate from 1716 to 1718. Meanwhile, the film takes place in 1904, in Edwardian-era London, and actor Jason Isaacs was 40 years old when he played Hook in the movie. This means that Hook is at least 220 years old when the film takes place, which makes his sexual predator vibes towards Wendy all the more alarming.
