The Bowers Gang

The Bowers Gang was a gang of bullies led by Henry Bowers in the town of Derry, Maine. After the death of Bowers in 1985, his gang officially ended.

1958
The Bowers Gang was formed by Henry Bowers sometime during the early-to-mid 1950's. Henry first met Vic Criss and Belch Huggins in first grade during 1952. They became good friends and allies. Although Vic and Belch appreciated Henry being the neighborhood bully in all, they became horrified when Henry almost drowned Bill Denbrough in a dunk tank one time at the town fair in 1954. Henry later became friends with Moose Sadler in late 1954. Henry gained three more friends, Patrick Hockstetter, Peter Gordon, and Gard Jagermeyer in 1955. Belch and Vic were also horrified when Henry white-washed Stan Uris's face in snow until it bled in 1955. Henry is seen again when he rolls Mike Hanlon, the only black boy in Derry in mud, and poisons his dog with tainted meat in 1956. Henry became the leader of his gang, as the six bullies always followed Henry and they enjoyed tormenting The Losers Club and other children. Marcia Fadden, in the novel, could be found with them at times as another bully and is presumed deceased with the other members by the Losers.

In the book
Like the Bowers Gang of the show, the Bowers Gang of the It novel bullied the Losers Club before and during the summer of 1958, and are the secondary antagonists of the novel, after It itself.
