He would've been more fitting as he fits Once's standard criteria of being fictional and was even said to be Hook's rival in the traditional Peter Pan mythos. No.... Blackbeard being Hook's rival on OUaT, was a reference to the Peter Pan mythos. The little bit of Captain Hook's backstory that is known, is that he was originally Blackbeard's deckhand.
