When he stumbles upon Ned Brainard'southward discovery of Flubber later seeing the scientists' flight Model T, he schemes to steal Flubber for budgetary gain.
When Brainard tries to take Flubber to government officials, Alonzo manages to discredit him by switching out and stealing the flying Model T. When realizing what he'due south washed, Brainard and Betsy become to his firm to find the car under the pretense of selling him on the idea of Flubberized shoes.

He and his men pursue Brainard to his warehouse and engage in a car chase, which results in Hawk's arrest.
Son of Flubber
In this sequel to The Absent-minded Professor, Hawk still seeks to tear down the school, especially after Brainard's government deal with Flubber falls through and it remains a government secret. When Brainard's experiments with Flubbergas accidentally break glass all over town, Auld Lang Syne Insurance finds itself in a deep debt from having to pay for repairs. Hawk eventually tracks the incident to Brainard and seeks to seize the Flubbergas as a means of perpetuating a glass installation and insurance scam across the state, though when Brainard denies him, Hawk takes Brainard to court for being responsible for the property damage across boondocks. The case is dismissed when it is discovered that the original Flubbergas testing had the side-effect of performance as a super-fertilizing "dry rain" that could grow giant vegetables that could more than pay off the damages.

In the 1976The Shaggy D.A., the sequel to 1959's The Shaggy Dog, Keenan Wynn portrays some other ruthless billionaire character, named John Slade, which is a lookalike of Hawk in both behavior and look. Information technology remains unknown why Disney didn't simply reuse the name of Alonzo Hawk, as the name is the only difference between Slade and Hawk.
Other Hawk-inspired characters in Disney movies
Wikipedia likewise lists ii other characters who aren't exactly Alonzo Militarist simply seem to have been somehow inspired past him; the first beingness Martin Ridgeway from 1972'due southSnowball Express, another bad banker played past Keenan Wynn, only less quack than Hawk; and the second (and the merely animated one) being J. J. Wagstaff fromFluppy Dogs.
In The Absent Professor's 1997 remake Flubber, Hawk's antagonistic function in the story would exist taken by Chester Hoenicker. Nonetheless, that character would actually be the secondary adversary, as the remake's truthful main bad guy would be Wilson Croft (the remake'southward version of Professor Shelby Ashton).
