His Evil Ranking[]
His Villainous Deeds[]
- He is a horrible bully towards the losers, including Mike for being black, who he racially tells to leave his town.
- Takes Ben away and cuts into him with his other bullies, then throws stones at the Losers for trying to interfere. He arrogantly sexualizes Beverly as a "whore" during this show-off then tries to chase after the Losers after they escape.
- In one of deleted scenes, he kills Belch and Vic, (by cutting their throats) his close allies, for unknown reasons. However, it's unknown if it's canon or not.
- Murdered his abusive father, Oscar, after being influenced by It. Although Butch deserved his fate.
- He broke out of the asylum to team up with It to try to kill the losers.
- He says he is sad every time he passes Mike's parents ashes. Not because he is sorry for him, but because he didn't murder then himself.
Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]
- He fails the Heinous Standard to It itself, who his crimes are mainly done in favor of, with the rest of his crimes amounting to generic abuse and harassment.
- He is tragic as he is severely abused by his father who even threatens him with a gun and eventually ends up becoming a pawn to It, viewing It as the closest thing he ever had to a parent.
- He stopped bullying Bill after Georgie went missing.
- He is protective over his younger cousin, Connor, showing that he has a healthy family relationship with him.
