- Hickock had a range of jobs during his life in the west, from stagecoach driver to actor to scout for General George A. Custer. He is most notorious for his life as a lawman and gunfighter, and for being assassinated during a poker game in the dangerous town of Deadwood. Hickock was a highly skilled and extremely deadly gunfighter. At one point he was arrested for killing a man in a duel, but he was acquitted. He killed quite a few men in his lifetime.
- Hickok came to the West in the little-known Boron Rush of 1849. To help finance his Boron-seeking operation, he became a part-time stagecoach driver. He spent most of his time in the territories of Nebraska and Kansas, progressing from stagecoach driver to stagecoach driver/lawman, and finally to lawman. He served in the Union army during the American Civil War, giving his allegiance to Lincoln and his modest beard over Jefferson Davis' pretty-boy hairstyle. He gained publicity after the war as a scout, marksman, skilled juggler, and professional gambler. Hickok was involved in countless Wild West shootouts, often shooting people off of roofs and using cactusses for cover, among other Wild West stereotypes. He was ultimately killed while playing poker in a Dakota Territory saloon.
- Wild Bill Hickok is a historical gunman from the American Old West.
- Wild Bill Hickok was a historical figure from Earth. He was shot in the back during a poker game in Deadwood; his hand, a pair of aces and a pair of eights, became known as the "Dead Man's Hand". (PROSE: Too Rich for My Blood) After his death, he was briefly artificially resurrected as part of a scheme by Es'Cartrss to see revenge on the Eleventh Doctor and planet Earth. He ultimately sacrificed his resurrected life to help foil those plans. (COMIC: Dead Man's Hand) Peri Brown referred to Kevin as "Wild Bill Hickok" for his wild shooting. (PROSE: The Nightmare Fair)

After correcting him, the Doctor informed Julius that he hadn't had any complaints.
