Ben Hanscom

Benjamin "Ben" Hanscom is a major character in the first and second seasons of It. He is one of the seven members of The Losers' Club, along with Bill Denbrough, Richie Tozier, Stanley Uris, Eddie Kaspbrak, Mike Hanlon and Beverly Marsh.

As a kid, Ben developed an eating disorder, causing him to become majorly overweight, often being bullied for his weight, and ultimately gaining the attention of Henry Bowers and his gang of violent bullies. In the summer of 1958, Ben would meet and befriend the other members of the Losers Club after escaping the Bowers Gang.

In 1985, after defeating Pennywise for the final time, Ben and Beverly married, with Beverly divorcing her husband Tom, and Ben selling his estate in Nebraska. The two would settle in California, and a short time after, Beverly became pregnant.

Early Life
Ben was born in October 1946, the only son and child of John and Arlene Hanscom.

Appearance
As a kid, Ben had become majorly overweight by the time he was 12 years old.

As an adult, Ben had become much taller, leaner and more handsome because of his prior athleticism in his teens and earlier adult years. He has short brown hair and eyes, and by 1985 his hair had begun slightly greying despite still looking young.

Ben's stomach was permanently scarred from his encounter with the Bowers Gang in 1958
