== Anime & Manga ==
Line 120:
** [[Gentle Giant|Condo]] has one to replace the arm [[Mad Scientist|Solon]] has [[Organ Theft|stolen from him]] in the serial "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S13 E5 The Brain of Morbius|The Brain of Morbius]]".
** And Captain Pike from "[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S4 E1 The Smugglers|The Smugglers]]", who has a pike head rather than a hook.
* As of season four, Drew from ''[[Thirty30 Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]''. Both hands. Poor, dumb bastard. So much for life in The Bubble being so awesome.
* ''[[Married With Children]]'': When Kelly auditions for Miss Weenie Tot, all the judges had hooks. She aced the audition by saying she thought guys with hooks for hands were cool.
* The appropriately named "Hook Man" in the ''[[Supernatural (TV)|Supernatural]]'' episode [[Supernatural (Anime)/Recap/S01 E07 Hook Man|of the same name]]. In life, he was a preacher who was executed for killing prostitutes with his hook, something he continued to do after his death.
Line 148:
== Video Games ==
* Two enemies in the ''[[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario Land]]'' series, Captain Coin from ''[[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario Land]] 4'' and Captain Skull from ''[[Wario World (Video Game)|Wario World]]'', have a hook for at least one hand (the latter also has a cannon replacing the other hand).
* Dr. Loboto in ''[[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]''. Part hook. Part pepper grinder. Part of your [[Paper -Thin Disguise]] as Loboto involves using a trophy as a hook.
* White Raila in ''[[The Witcher]]'', has one in the books (as the result of being tortured by elves, the same event that made her hair white with trauma). In the game it is said but not shown.
* ''[[Monkey Island]]''
Line 164:
== Web Comics ==
* Nazi science sneers at any example list which doesn't contain Colonel Haken from ''[[Irregular Webcomic (Webcomic)|Irregular Webcomic]]''
* Bikke the pirate in ''[[Eight 8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'' is under the distinct impression that a grim, rusted hook takes the place of one of his hands; this is pointedly not the case. He later gets one that fits over his hand, but it keeps falling off. Perhaps it's one of those cheap plastic ones that you get in those old pirate costumes they sold in plastic bags.
* Harvoc from ''[[Emergency Exit]]''. He is a ''mailman''.
* Torg's blind date from early on in ''[[Sluggy Freelance (Webcomic)|Sluggy Freelance]]''. Mind you, that's just one of her... hum... less than ideal characteristics.
* While an ''actual'' Hook Hand has not been seen in ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'', the [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2009-12-01 official explanation] for Abraham's attack involves a stalker with a hook for his left hand.
* In ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|The Order of the Stick]]'', the captain of Hinjo's boat, [[They Call Him "Sword"|Captain Axe]], has... [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0473.html well, guess.]
* In ''[[Nodwick]]'', a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|ninja-pirate captain]] wields [http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/gamespyarchive/index.php?date=2004-08-04 nunchaku on his hook] by putting the hook through the middle link of the chain.
* In ''[[Rusty and Co (Webcomic)|Rusty and Co]]'', Cleave-Hand the gnoll has a axe head for right hand. Until Roxy tears it off, at least.
