Henry Allen "Hank" Venture is one of the two titular central protagonists (alongside his twin brother Dean Venture) of the 2003 Adult Swim television program The Venture Bros. He is voiced by show co-creator Christopher McCulloch.

Appearance

His appearance is similar to that of Fred Jones from Scooby-Doo, (a similarity mentioned by Triana Orpheus). The resemblance mainly stems from his ever-present (except when he wears his Aquaman pajamas, his Venture Industries boilersuit, or his Batman costume) white shirt and neckerchief wardrobe and blond hair, although his hair is much shorter than Fred's. Hank has remarked that he does not particularly like neckerchiefs any longer, but continues to wear them to please his father.

The Hank who appeared in the first season was circumcised, while Dean was not; Hank used this as an insult (calling it a "creepy dog dork"). However, the Hank that was activated in Powerless in the Face of Death was uncircumcised until the third season episode Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman when he passed through an Amazonian warrior tribe's rite of manhood. In Season 4, Hank is shown to have a drastically altered appearance, having grown his hair out and taking to wearing Brock Samson's old jacket on top of his speed suit; the series creators have stated that this change is due to Hank beginning to age normally in a single body, now that he has no more clone bodies in which to be revived (see below).[1] This was also a way for Hank to model his appearance after his absent hero Brock Samson. However, after graduating from his learning bed he returns to his original look which he maintains until Season 5.

During Season 6, he has adopted a new hairstyle as well as wearing a white jacket with the Venture logo and red and white stripes which owes to his new status as rich. Also, after getting a job he wears a pizza delivery boy uniform.

Personality

Hank Venture is the more outgoing, adventurous, macho, and gullible of the two boys. He exhibits a typically 1950s/1960s outlook on life, frequently using such mild interjections as 'golly!' Unlike Dean, he tends to be less naive and more decisive, even if his actions are often mentally unsound and fail to help the current situation. He is prone to flights of fancy; Brock Samson states at one point "it's like he (Hank) channels dead crazy people," to which Dean agrees.

Hank tends to be more keen on adventuring than anyone else in the family, frequently asking to accompany Brock on his various trips[2] or just hanging out with him.[3] While Brock considers Hank an apt pupil, Hank's exuberance and joy at being included in adventurous undertakings frequently leads to missteps - ranging from slight to fatal - occurring. His best friend is his brother Dean, and the two attempt to live up to the legacy of Team Venture, albeit poorly. Like any other pair of brothers, Hank and Dean argue at times; Hank is the physically stronger of the two and usually overpowers Dean when rough-housing. His father, Dr. Venture, also once mentioned that Hank "get(s) that kind of retard strength when he gets all worked up". His relationship with his father can border on the nonexistent at times, largely due to Dr. Venture's focus more on Dean and on his own work and money troubles. However it is later admitted by his father that Hank reminds him of himself as when he was young he also tried to rebel against his father's legacy.

Hank tends to bond well and easily with others: Brock Samson, The Monarch, Sergeant Hatred (after he had overcame his sexual attraction to children), Dermott Fictel, The Alchemist, Doctor Girlfriend (who rightly considered Hank capable of driving a getaway car, while dismissing Dean as a "candy-ass"), Henchman 21 (who, before learning of Dr. Venture's cloning facility, believed Hank to be a Highlander-style immortal being based on the number of times 21 had seen him die), and assassin Jean-Claude Le Tueur (whom Hank bonded with while discussing comic books; their plans to go to the San Diego Comic-Con the next year fell through, however, as Brock sliced Le Tueur in half) are all characters that Hank has befriended.

Hank has a fascination with Batman and is shown wearing the same Batman costume as a running gag that culminates in him forming one of his alter-egos of The Bat.

Hank has a close relationship with family bodyguard Brock Samson who treats him with genuine affection and concern. While Dean is apparently being groomed by Dr. Venture to follow in his father and grandfather's footsteps as a super-scientist, Brock has passed on some of his own unique expertise to Hank. He once talked him through the process of defeating several "ghost" pirates via his wrist communicator[4], and tends to think of Hank as his back-up in most violent situations the Ventures get into.[5][6] Hank on his part idolizes Brock considers more of a father than Rusty and seeks to be just like him often imitating his abilities, most of the time failing.

Compared to Dean, Hank is more eager to be in a relationship with women and developing crushes with almost all the women he encounters. In Assassinanny 911, he develops a major crush with Molotov Cocktease to the point where he gets intensely jealous with Rusty over her. He often feels so confident in talking to women, he tries to teach Dean ways to pick up girls with no success. He also aggressively tries to hook up with Dr. Quymn's daughters, Nancy Quymn, but also unsuccessfully. In Everybody Comes to Hank's he finally loses his virginity to Dermott Fictel's biological mother Nikki Fictel who was sexually attracted to him. Also in Season 6, he starts a romantic relationship with Sirena Ong, the daughter of the supervillain Wide Wale, and dates her until he catches her having an affair with Dean.

Dean also has a very deep and vivid imagination that often manifests itself into numerous alter-ego's, characters, and disguises that he uses to do some action and adventure when he is prevented from doing so because of his age, although nearly everyone are able to see through and figure out that it's Hank. The most frequent and prominent are:

History

Hank, along with Dean was, "born" through artificial insemination and incubated through an artificial womb with eggs given to Dr. Venture from Mantilla, with Hank taking on Mantilla's blonde hair blue eyed appearance. It's unknown how Dean and Hank became so different in attitude and personalities, but like Dean, he accompanied Dr. Venture on many adventures, and was taught and raised by the Learning Beds. Like Dean, Hank was also killed numerous times over the course of his life and has been cloned over 14 times. A flashback montage showing the boys' deaths seems to indicate that Hank may have died slightly more frequently than Dean. In the season three episode The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together (Part I) Hank mentions in a conversation with Le Tueur that he once jumped off his roof pretending to be Batman, then second guesses himself saying "or maybe I dreamt it". This clip was seen in the season two premiere as one of Hank's many deaths, hinting the boys may have some residual memories of their past selves.

While Hank rarely has an episode dedicated solely to himself, he does play at least a prominent part in nearly all episodes. He helped Brock to take down a ship of faux-ghost pirates, led an attack on the "Phantom Spaceman" and attempted to free Brock from Dr. Venture's hypnotic "joy can." He can be counted on for enthusiasm, if not actual intelligence or competence. Unlike Dean, however, Hank noticed that his supposed age did not match the date on his ID card.

One of his larger roles involved his accidental exposure to the "Goliath Serum."[7] This compound, invented by Richard Impossible for use as a weapon, was intended to cause a chain reaction in a living organism that culminates in a massive, devastating explosion proportional to the mass of subject, for example, an ant could destroy a tank, meaning Hank theoretically could have exploded with the force of atom bomb at least. Dr. Venture worked with Pete White, Master Billy Quizboy, and Impossible's wife Sally to produce an antidote. Shortly after being injected with this experimental cure, Hank's symptoms vanished; Dr. Impossible, however, curtly announced that the scientists had only succeeded in inventing ranch dressing. (The serum was apparently only effective on ants, the only creatures on which it had ever been tested.) However, Hank did manifest symptoms of the serum, so it's possible that the supposed "ranch dressing" was really a cure and Dr. Impossible was just jealous of Dr. Venture's success. Richard's wife, Sally Impossible, even claims that this is the reason.

He developed an intense crush on Molotov Cocktease when she guarded the Venture family for several days while Brock was hunting his former mentor and eagerly threw himself into the training the Russian mercenary forced the Ventures to do. His infatuation led him to take down his posters of Mary Lou Retton and Danica Patrick, which worried Dean about the training's effect over his brother. Coming across her then-discarded stiletto heel boots, he nuzzled and rubbed against them, only to be lightly touched in the neck by the blade hidden in the heel, which was coated with a highly effective psychotropic hallucinogen. This caused him to hallucinate that Molotov wanted him to kill his father so they could be together (Dr. Venture had been making his usual pathetic advances to Molotov in the meantime). He picked up a machete and attempted to hack down his father in his lab; but the weapon was made merely of papier-mâché and he was summarily grounded for his attack.

In the third season, he meets and befriends a local boy, Dermott Fichtel. The two become very close as they spend a lot of time together, as Hank ultimately spends more time with him than he does with Dean. With H.E.L.P.eR., they form a band called Shallow Gravy with their main song and act called Jacket. At the end of Season 3 when the family are on the run from OSI assassins, Dean befriends one of them, Le Tueur where they bond over comic books.

In the fourth season, Hank is shown with his hair grown out and has begun to emulate his absent hero, Brock such as wearing his jacket, and gaining greater willingness to learn combat. He has also gained a rebellious streak referring to his father as both a "honky" and the "president of the United States of boogers". He has also grown resentful towards Dean after Dean both gets his own lab in the panic room while Dr. Venture refuses to train Hank for a future career, instead insisting that Hank get a job, move out, and learn his own way in the world. Hank responds by creating his own brand, company, restaurant and store called HankCo, where he resells items and stationary around the compound and has Dermott and Sargent Hatred as his employees. Through one of his alter-egos, Detective Hank, and with the help of The Alchemist, he tries to figure out Dermott's parentage, but winds up sleeping with his mother Nikki Fichtel instead. His memories of this encounter, as well as learning that his father Rusty was also Dermott's father were wiped by Brock and Shoreleave, but he prerecorded himself on his wrist communicator what happened.

In the episode, Handsome Ransom, Hank was kidnapped by The Monarch only to be rescued by Captain Sunshine who makes him as his new Wonder Boy. Hank initially embraces being the new Wonder Boy until Sunshine's needy personality makes Hank realize that Sunshine is too overbearing, and bids the hero a heartfelt goodbye. Sunshine kisses Hank on the lips before Hank has a chance to leave, and states that Hank broke his heart. Though before leaving, Hank asks him to put in a good word to Batman for him, leading an angry and emotionally hurt Captain Sunshine to yell "Get out of my Sanctum Solarium!"

in the episode, Venture Libre, after consuming large amounts of caffeine, his The Bat alter ego manifests itself, as he displays great strength, stealth and resourcefulness almost as good as Batman in taking down Venturestein's henchmen and freeing Rusty from captivity until the caffeine wears off and he passes out. This was the only episode where we see Hank be the action hero he wants to be without failing and messing things up.

Hank attempts to join S.P.H.I.N.X once more when it is placed under Gary's control and in the process he gains The Countess's power suit which he permanently wears until the episode in which it is stolen by Molotov Cocktease and later destroyed by Brock Samson. In the season's finale, he learns from Dean that they are clones of their original selves but the news does not upset him, but rather excites him on the fact to be a member of the Venture family. From this optimistic view, Hank is able to bring his brother out of his depression and make him see that have an amazing family and that everything would be alright.

In the The Devil's Grip, Hank is sent to live with The Action Man at his Boca Raton retirement home where he helps Rodney date Billy's mother Rose Whalen, as well as reunite Rose with Billy.

During the sixth season, Hank along with his family have moved to New York while there Hank quickly gets use to his new life as a rich kid but is he is told to get a job from his father and to control his spending. In response, he becomes a pizza delivery boy and has taken to using a hover car called the Go-Pod to as his vehicle. Hank takes interest in Sirena Ong, the daughter of the villain Wide Wale after believing she was drowning. He tries and fails to "rescue" her as he himself is rescued by Night Dick. He later successfully asks her out on date after impressing her with the Go-Pod.

In It Happening One Night, Hank goes on a date with Sirena and goes through great lengths to impress her all of which are successful and while swimming in a lake the two share a kiss.

In the seventh season, Hank is still the same as before and in The Rorqual Affair, he and Sirena are now officially a couple, thought they try to hide their relationship from Wide Wale by taking on a job as a pizza delivery boy at Vincenzo's. They attempt to have sex with little success, as the inexperienced Hank has performance issues from over excitement. Very soon, Hank is fired from his job because of Wide Wale having connections with Vincenzo, and the Whale Lice destroy his Go-Pod, spray painting a warning on it for Hank to stay away from Sirena. As a result, he tries again, by becoming one of his alter ego's, Erinco Matasso, and attempts to join Wide Whale's crew in order to see Sirena. Whale, aware that he's really Hank, plays along and tests Hank by demanding he execute The Monarch that Whale had captured. Hank hesitates until he relieved and spared of having to do so when the rest of The Guild, Sirena, and Wide Whale's brother appears.

In The Inamorata Consequence, Hank is bothered by an OSI agent who turns out to be Dermott Fictel and the latter reveals "his father" put in a recommendation for Dermott to join the OSI. Hank seems unaware that Dermott is referring to their shared father, Dr. Venture, and asks if his father had pull with the OSI because he was "in black ops". They hang out together only to witness OSI Agent Kimberly McManus and Guild Stranger S-464 having an affair. The two fantasize about confronting them, but instead report the both of them to The Guild and OSI.

During The Forecast Manufacturer, Hank tries to text his girlfriend Sirena but she doesn't pick up. Despite being told to give her space, Hank decides to visit her but suffers a concussion upon hitting his head on a lamppost and passes out in the snow. Hank is found by a person wearing a bear costume and taken to the store where he gets food before being brought to a dorm. Hank is now dazed from his injury but finds Dean's room and walks in to find Sirena cheating on him with his brother. Due to his injury, Hank is calm in the confrontation. He is hurt when Dean confirms the sight and soon Sirena does as well, also feeling bad. After Dean and Sirena are startled to see the figure who brought Hank to the dorm, Hank is relieved that it was confirmed as real before he passes out from his experience.

Hank the bat saphrax

Hank leaves by himself

During The Saphrax Protocol, Hank has been hospitalized in a coma, with a very distressed Dean staying by his side. In Hank's comatose state, Hanks finds himself in a purgatory-like world that resembles the ice planet Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back crossed with the planet from the film Barbarella. He encounters his godfather,The Action Man, who is comatose from a stroke, and the two have a long heart-to-heart conversation about love, obsession, and growing up. In the process The Action Man reveals to Hank that his real mother was an actress named Bobbi St. Simone. He says Dr. Venture became obsessive and smothered her until she stopped taking his calls, changed her name, and moved to another state. They are captured by a wampa but rescued by Dr. Phineas Phage, who is also comatose from a teleporter-related accident. After Phage delivers them to the pool of Matmos at the Action Man's behest, Hank decides he must dive in the pool, both as a way to escape purgatory and as a coming-of-age ritual. Hank wakens from the coma while Dean is sleeping and leaves Stuyvesant University Medical Center. Hank slips into a nearby crowd and does an internal monologue reminiscent of the final scene of the 1990 film Darkman. Hank seems determined to grow up and find his identity, yet he wears a Batman mask underneath the hood of his coat, hinting that we may see the return of The Bat.

In Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, Hank evades the efforts of Brock, OSI, and Dean trying to find him, and travels back to the old Venture Compound in Colorado to find himself. While there, he comes to conclusion that he needs to reunite with his mother who believes to be Bobbi St Simone based on the conversation he had with Action Man in purgatory. With Dermott's help, he tracks down and confronts Bobbi. After Bobbi tells him that she is not his mother and that she had told him this several times already in the past, Hank faints, loses consciousness, and returns to purgatory again where his various alter-egos that he developed over the years trap him there. A worried Dean, with the help of Dr. Orpheus and the Order of the Triad, track down Hank, enter purgatory, and rescue Hank and bring him back to consciousness. At the end of the film, Hank finally meets Ben and learns the truth about not only of his background as a clone, but that Rusty is a clone as well.

Relationships

Family

Thaddeus Venture

Is Hank's father, throughout most of the show the two are constantly at odds with each other mostly due to Dr. Venture favoring Dean over Hank, on top of Hank's rebellious personality and nature clashing with Rusty's. In Any Which Way But Zeus, Hank and Sgt. Hatred pretend to hold Dr. Venture hostage and mistakenly call out Dean's name. Hearing this, Dr. Venture screams out to take him instead of Dean which shocks both Hatred and Hank. This causes Hank to reveal that they kidnapped him as well but Rusty states they can do whatever they want to him. This revelation causes Hank to become depressed, and before administering "torture" to his father, he asks why Rusty loves Dean more than Hank. Rusty rebuffs this statement by saying he does love Hank and says he only told them to torture Hank because he knows Hank is tough, like himself, and could endure the torture. Rusty explains that Hank, like Rusty, didn't want to be what his father wanted either and he is in fact proud of his son's resistance. After this, Hank understood that his father deeply loves and cares for him.

Since that point Hank has chosen to completely reject super-science and instead follows his dreams of becoming a great agent like Brock or a superhero like Batman. He still harbors some feelings of rejection as shown in season seven. Dr. Venture for his part demands that Hank must stand on his own two feet and get a job if he doesn't go to college seemingly pushing hank to branch out on his own. Unlike Dean, he doesn't allow Hank to spend money as freely and even seemingly downplays and dismisses Hank being in a coma and going missing afterward.

Dean Venture

Dean is Hank's twin brother who he is older than by four minutes. Hank and Dean have a stereotypical sibling relationship as they fight and mock each other at times but ultimately are each other's best friend. They are often seen doing almost everything together and fare poorly on their own. After Hank befriends Dermott Fichtel in Season 3, they start to drift apart. In the season five finale, Hank asks his brother why he was so depressed to which Dean replies that he learned that he and Hank are clones that have died countless times and are shells of their original selves. Hank thinks this amazing, much to his brother's surprise, Hank explains to Dean that it's yet another reason why its awesome to be a Venture and lightens Dean's mood. In the season six episode It Happening One Night, Dean helps his brother with trying to impress Sirena Ong on their date which was successful.

During The Forecast Manufacturer, Dean betrays Hank by sleeping with Sirena. Dean winds up feeling guilty for sleeping with Sirena and is seen begging a comatose Hank for forgiveness. After Hank goes missing and returns to Colorado, Dean with the help with Order of the Triad, tracks down Hank and recuses him from purgatory. Hanks sees this gesture, forgives Dean, as they become close again.

Jonas Venture Sr.

Jonas Sr. is Hank's paternal grandfather. Hank never met him but always wanted to after hearing that he was famous. In Arrears in Science, Dean informs Hank of what occurred in their home and told him that their grandfather was still alive, to Hank's excitement. Hank wanted to meet his grandfather though Dean talked him out of it.

Brock Samson

Hank openly idolizes Brock to the point where he considers him to be more of a father than Rusty, and does everything he can to spend time with and learn from him. When Brock left to help S.P.H.I.N.X., Hank was the most affected by his absence, becoming more rebellious by growing out his hair and wearing Brock's signature jacket until he returned. Brock also expressed pride Hank boasting about losing his virginity before erasing his memory. In Season 6, Brock was reassigned to work for the Ventures. This caused Hank to be greatly excited as his idol returned to the family.

Sergeant Hatred

Hank was initially scared of Sergeant Hatred as he once molested him and his brother (Dean holds no recollection due to being passed out from the wine). When Hatred became the new family bodyguard, Hank was openly disdainful of Sgt. Hatred taking over for Brock. But after (accidentally) shooting Hatred in the arm on his command and then having a heart to heart with thim, the two settled into a good relationship. In O.S.I. Love You, Hatred told Hank it was his destiny to protect his family, before he went out to confront Molotov Cocktease and nearly got himself killed. Hank used his Strength Suit to save Hatred and later explained Hatred was kind of like family, giving him the nickname Uncle Vatred.

Dermott Fictel

Hank and Dermott are close friends. They share many common interests and formed a band called Shallow Gravy. Neither of them are aware they're half-brothers through Dr. Venture and Nikki. When Hank himself had sex with Nikki Fictel and later found out the truth, he was so disgusted he willingly had his memory erased. In Momma's Boys Dermott calls Dr. Venture "Dad" right in front of Hank and Dean, much to their surprise. However, Shallow Gravy goes nowhere and they grow apart after Hank moves to New York. They reunite again in The Inamorata Consequence where Hank learns that Dermott is now a Private Second Class in the OSI, having been recruited after his father pulled some strings for him - in exchange for never talking about that he is related to his father. Hank doesn't realize that Dermott is referring to Dr. Venture.

The Action Man

Aside from Brock, the only other adult that Hank seems to respect and lookup to is The Action Man. After Rusty was presumed dead, Hank was sent to live with him at his retirement home in Florida where the two got along. Hanks helps Rodney ask out and date Rose Whalen, and also helps Rose reconnect with her son, Billy Whalen. Later the two reunite in purgatory, where Rodney's consciousness has been since his stroke, as the two work together to try to escape. Rodney also tries to help Hank find his mother by giving him the later revealed to be wrong advice that Bobbi St. Simone is his real mother.

Romantic

Nikki Fictel

In Everybody Comes to Hank's, Hank is shown to have a crush on Dermott's older sister Nikki. He goes over to their home where they talk with Hank spotting Nikki's Rusty Venture collection from the old TV show. Nikki stated Hank reminded him of the character of the show which Hank denies and calls her words suspicious with Nikki stating she was hiding a big crush on him, and they end up kissing before having sex. Hank was excited due to losing his virginity however, this was short-lived due to learning (through a spell charm) that as a teenager Nikki once slept with his father leading to the birth of Dermott. Hank was so disgusted that he willingly had his memory erased but not before leaving a message to himself (post memory erased) about the encounter showing that in spite of the disturbing details he enjoyed the sex. In What Color is Your Cleansuit?, while Hank was sleeping in Dermott's room she attempted to seduce him again. However, with his memory erased he had forgotten their encounter and it appears he's lost his crush on her as he was a little disturbed by her advances on him.

Sirena Ong

In Hostile Makeover, Hank had spotted Sirena Ong through the use of Brock's binoculars and saw her diving in a pool and give off an unresponsive look which caused him to attempt to save her only to find out she possessed gills. In Faking Miracles, he once again encounters her and tries to speak with her only for he father's henchmen to attack him until Sirena ordered them off. Hank later delivered a pizza to her apartment but was again chased off by Wide Wale's men. When Hank managed to elude them he found himself on the veranda outside Sirena where they properly got acquainted and hank managed to ask Sirena out on a date after impressing her with his hover car. In Rapacity in Blue, Hank is shown nervous about going on his upcoming date with Sirena going to various members of his family on how to not mess up his chances with her.

In It Happening One Night, he goes out on his date with her and while having Dean and Pete White help him in various ways he is happy to learn she is actually enjoying herself. While treating her to dinner, he is somewhat jealous that their waiter is her ex-boyfriend but this is brushed aside when they go to the pier where she reveals she is aware of him having friends help him on their date. However, she is flattered that he went to such lengths to just to impress her on the date her, before the two take a swim in the lake. When their bodyguards come to retrieve them, they hide in the lake where they share a kiss before they are taken back to their respective homes. This hints at a future relationship between the two. In Red Means Stop, there is a chalkboard in Hank's room with their initials on it, hinting at another step in their relationship.

As seen in The Rorqual Affair, they are now a couple and are sexually active (though Hank is having performance issues that preclude actual intercourse.) They initially hide their relationship from Wide Wale, who finds out about it from Rocco and confronts Sirena. Wide Wale and his men didn't approve of their relationship and got Hank fired from his job after beating up his boss and damaging his hover car. Later, Hank tried to prove himself worthy of her by impressing her father as wannabe supervillain Enrico Matassa; he nearly succeeded but failed in the end.

During The Forecast Manufacturer, it is shown he has started to grow obsessed with Sirena as she wouldn't answer his texts and he even traveled through snow to head for her college. Hank got a concussion and was led by the mysterious Scare Bear to Dean's dorm room only to find Sirena cheating on him with his brother. She tried to explain the circumstances to the dazed Hank; he is too out of it to understand but vaguely sees what's happening.

While Sirena doesn't appear in Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, Hank is clearly hurt by the affair she had with Dean as he ignores all her pleading messages and calls in his phone as well as Dean's and later gave the phone to a hobo in an alley before he ran away. Hank imagines her as the Statue of Liberty when riding a tour boat in New York and tells himself to forget about her and stick to the mission. Later while writing on his journal during the train ride he briefly thinks about Sirena and Dean making out and bursts out crying. Hank and Dean manage to reconcile from the Sirena incident after the two reunite. Since the Venture family returns to live in The Venture Compound by the end of the movie, it is most likely that Hank's relationship with Sirena is officially over.

Trivia

  • Hank is not allowed to use the oven without supervision as per Everybody Comes To Hank's.
  • In Love-Bheits, it is revealed that Hank has been taking Judo lessons from Brock.
  • In his bedroom in the Venture Compound, he has a toy car that looks identical to Brock's car, Adriene.
  • Hank's jacket that he wears throughout Season Six is a reference to the jacket that's seen in the 1971 Steve McQueen film Le Mans.
  • Both Hank and Dean are implied to be significantly older than they appear, due to their frequent cloning repeatedly resetting their biological ages to 16. Though their true chronological ages are never revealed, it's suggested that (had they never died) both would be in their early-to-mid 20s.
  • In the TellTale game Poker Night 2 Brock mentions that one of Hank's potential names was going to be Vivian although whether or not this is canon to the Venture Bros universe isn't confirmed.
