Bibliography

The Bowers Gang was formed by Henry Bowers sometime in the early to mid 1950s. Henry met Vic Criss and Belch Huggins in first grade in 1952. They became good friends and allies. Although Vic and Belch appreciated Henry being the neighborhood bully, they were horrified when Henry nearly drowned Bill Denbrough in a dunk tank one time at the town fair in 1954. Belch and Vic were also horrified when Henry whitewashed Stan Uris's face with snow until he bled in 1955. Henry is seen again when he rolls Mike Hanlon, the only black child in Derry in mud, and poisons Mike's dog with tainted meat in 1956. Henry became the leader of his gang, as the 3 bullies always followed Henry around and enjoyed tormenting The Losers Club and other children. In 1989, they are all between the ages of 15 and 16. Belch is their primary driver and appears to be the owner of a blue 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am. Patrick seems well-integrated into the group and the other three boys are never seen with them. They appear to have little to no connection to Greta Keene. Henry Bowers He is the leader of the gang, everyone follows and respects him and enjoys his sadism from time to time. He is a self-centered boy, with anger issues, violent, a bully, serious, mocking, with few manners, a misogynist, with fatherly issues, racist, he hates Jews, not so intelligent but he is VERY clever. He carries a knife with which he usually torments losers, once he cut an H into Ben Hanscom's belly trying to carve his entire name. Deep down, Henry suffers a lot and is resentful of his father, he is afraid of him and is cautious. His father, Oscar (Butch) Bowers, is the sheriff of the city, but he is also an alcoholic who instilled racism and hatred of Jews in him, he also beats him which causes pain to Henry who covers it up by being a bully and expresses his frustration through this annoying and aggressive attitude, homophobic.
