If you are talking about Scar. He was named Taka before he got his scar. Took the name after it.

I assume "Hook" is just a pirate alias like Blackbeard, and Skeletor's real name was Keldor in the reboot canon.

>Captain Hook

"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", and relates that Peter Pan began their rivalry by feeding the pirate's hand to the crocodile."

He took the name after.

People seem to forget how messed up fairy tales were. Disney actually changed the meaning of Peter Pan completely. If I recall right, the original story was a cautionary tale about the dangers of refusing responsibility.

People who don't speak swahili always pull that because they see it on google translate or something.

Taka's also the verb for 'want.' Fitting enough seeing as his whole bit is in his brother's shadow.

So he'll mutilate his enemies because that's what a child with too much power would do. People would die around him and he'd be too self involved to even notice they were gone.

That isn't canon. Some dude just got the 'OK' to make some lion king books. Disney does not recognize them as canon, nor did anyone know about them when working on TLK 2.

Anyway, Scar could just have been a nickname anyway. It was never established he was born with the name.

"Blackagar Boltagon" has to be the most egregious example of it I've ever seen. You can't even say it without it sounding ridiculous coming out of your mouth. And you just know Jack Kirby was the one who came up with that. Only the guy who created a villain whose name said aloud is "Dark Side" would even consider it.
