It's actually Captain James Hook. =)

- Crocodile dundee III? - Captain Fist? ---------- ADDED --------------------- I just had made my funny little guesses... Here comes the serious research: 1) "To reveal who he really was would even at this date set the country in a blaze": "Lest anyone think Hook's name too convenient, Barrie notes that "Hook was not his true name. To reveal who he really was would even at this date set the country in a blaze." Barrie also suggests through several clues that the Captain was an Old Etonian — this was confirmed in Barrie's speech delivered to the first hundred at Eton College, "Captain Hook at Eton". In the stage play Peter Pan, Hook's final words are "Floreat Etona", the College's motto." 2) " There are many suggestions that Barrie based the character of Hook on himself, and they share the same first name." (James Hook <> James Matthew Barrie) 3) Ravello / Crichton: "Ravello, a circus man in a constantly ragged woolen coat, is revealed to be James Hook, who escaped the crocodile, when the muscle contractions meant to crush and digest him broke the vial of poison he kept with him at all times. The poison killed the crocodile, and Hook used his hook to claw out, but he was a changed man. The scarred visage that emerged from the crocodile's belly was not the noble pirate who went forthwith from the deck of the Jolly Roger, he was changed into Ravello, the traveling man. Only upon receiving Wendy's kiss, and five weeks' worth of sleep, does the real James Hook again reveal himself. Hook gives another clue to his true identity when one of the Lost Boys asks Ravello his name: He thinks for a while, as if trying to remember, and finally says the name his mother gave him was Crichton, but that names given by mothers don't mean anything." 4) "James Matthew B", later James Hook (still before he lost his hand): "According to the novel Capt. Hook: The Adventures of a Notorious Youth, Captain Hook was born the illegitimate son of a nobleman, "Lord B", and an unnamed woman Hook has never met. Denounced by Lord B, James Matthew is brought up by a Shakespearean actress he calls Aunt Emily." "In the novel James has only a few friends - Roger Peter Davies, whom he nicknames "Jolly Roger" and later names his ship after; and his pet Electra, a fatally poisonous spider with a hook-shaped marking on her abdomen. " "Although James successfully wooes Ananova, their mutual affection sets off a chain of political outrage that affects the noble position of Lord B. Lord B selfishly arranges for James to leave Eton on his trading ship, the Sea Witch." "Throughout Capt. Hook, author J.V. Hart relates events in James Matthew B's life to events in James Matthew Barrie's life and the lives of the Llewellyn-Davies children" "James is christened "Hook" after murdering the quartermaster of the Sea Witch, rather than in reference to his iron arm (in the original novel, Hook was known as "Hook" before he lost his hand, so this is consistent" Source and further information (1 to 4): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Hook 5) There have been some research done on the issue that James Matthew Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, might have been a pedophile (although he probably never was this in an active way). Here an interesting article about this: "Confronting Peter Pan's 'awfully big adventure'" "The story is, of course, Peter Pan and, like other great examples of Victorian and Edwardian wonderland literature, it was written by a man whose relationship with children was at best suspect. There is no evidence that J.M. Barrie ever acted on any of his impulses and most contemporary reports describe him as distinctly asexual, but his predilection for frequenting Kensington Gardens making friends with children would today set alarm bells ringing and send social workers running to take protective action."

I have answered this before: http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1021970 Captain James Hook.

His maiden name was "Slowhand".

Taken from Wikipedia Barrie states in the novel that "Hook was not his true name. To reveal who he really was would even at this date set the country in a blaze." He relates the tale of how Peter Pan cut off his hand and fed it to the crocodile, setting up the rivalry between them. Barrie explains that "he was Blackbeard's boatswain, and that he was the only man Long John Silver ever feared". In blackbeard's wiki Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island (1883) contains two references to Blackbeard. 1) Squire Trelawney: "Blackbeard was a child to Flint." 2) In the book, one of Long John Silver's pirates is named Israel Hands, after one of Blackbeard's officers. In Israel Hands wiki was an 18th century pirate, perhaps best known for being second in command to Blackbeard (Edward Teach). A boatswain is like second in command Israel Hands Aka Catain Hook

Captain Hand''s.
