Patrick Hockstetter (Horror Reboots)

Patrick Hockstetter is a major antagonist in the It horror reboot. He is a bully member of the Bowers Gang.

Possible Replacement
At the age of five, Patrick Hockstetter had a baby brother named Avery Hockstetter. Although Patrick initially had no problem with his parents having children, he was only worried about whether or not that new child would "replace" him and become a "true mortal" like himself. Patrick eventually became delusional to the point where he murdered his own brother by smothering him to death with his pillow while he was sleeping. Later on that day when Patrick's mother found Avery dead, he sat and watched the television while his mother screamed and cried. His father later saw the marks Patrick's wet boots had made on the floor and slammed the door so hard the frame split in a fit of rage after coming to a realization but never confronted Patrick about it though.

Bowers Gang
During the later years of his childhood, Patrick befriended his equally psychotic fellow school bully, Henry Bowers, and became part of his gang of friends, the Bowers Gang. However due to his disturbing nature and generally low reputation, Patrick was not very liked by the other gang members and was only occasionally seen with the rest of the group.

Death
On one hot summer day, Patrick, Henry, Vic Criss and Belch Higgins were down at a local junkyard and after a while, Vic and Belch left after a short and brief dispute with Henry. After the two leave, Patrick gives Henry a handjob, and even boldly offers him oral sex, to which Henry replies by punching him in the mouth. Worried that Patrick might tell his friends about the incident, Henry blackmails Patrick, threatening to tell the police about his "secret fridge" down at the junkyard. After Henry leaves, Patrick heads down to the fridge to dispose of the dead animals he kept in there, only to be attacked by leeches. The parasites drink most of his blood and eventually drag away unconscious body. By the time Patrick had awoken, It had already been feeding on him.

Aftermath
While under Derry, the Losers encounter Patrick's decomposing corpse. Later years after Patrick's death, he appears at one of the baseball fields in Trackers Brothers, as one of It's manifestations, when taunting Eddie Kaspbrak.
