Captain Hook/Introduction to Evil

This is one of two versions of this Villain; see the other here.

"Double the powder and shorten the fuse!"

Captain Hook is one of four playable Villains in the Villainous introductory set, Introduction to Evil. He is from the movie Peter Pan, released in 1953, in which he is voiced by Hans Conried and animated by Frank Thomas. He is illustrated in the game by Lucas Torquato.

Objective

Captain Hook must defeat Peter Pan at the Jolly Roger.

In order to achieve his objective, you must bring Peter Pan into your Realm, either by being Fated, or by playing Neverland Map. You will then need to move him to the Jolly Roger, where you must defeat him to win the game.

Strategy

The Introduction to Evil version of Captain Hook plays quite similarly to the original, and his old strategy guide will still be fairly relevant, with the following exceptions:

• Lost Boys' Hideout no longer starts with a Lock token, meaning Captain Hook has access to both his Fate actions as well as his Move a Hero action from the start. This makes it much more difficult to Fate lock him, and makes him much more able to dish out Fate in the early game.
• Peter Pan is no longer automatically played when revealed in a Fate action, meaning in all likelihood Captain Hook will have to play the boy himself. To compensate for that, Obsession now has an easier trigger, and Neverland Map automatically brings him into Captain Hook's Realm when played. However, if Neverland Map is used, there is a risk of Taunt getting played on Peter Pan before you're able to Vanquish another Hero, which would require you to defeat Peter Pan outside of Jolly Roger and then find him a second time; this doesn't lock you out of the game entirely, but it makes your likelihood of winning vanishingly small. To avoid that, make sure you only play Neverland Map when there is another Hero in your Realm already, with sufficient Allies to Vanquish them.
• Cunning is also easier to trigger, though it still has the same ability; this just makes it more useful against more Villains, as not all of them have Allies of 4 or more Strength.
