Butch Bowers (Horror Reboots)

Oscar "Butch" Bowers is an antagonist in the It horror reboot. He is the abusive father of Henry Bowers.

History
Butch Bowers was very psychotic and violent as he would often beat his son, Henry, and his wife on a daily basis. However, Butch's wife eventually left him after nearly being beaten to death by him. Butch is very racist towards William Hanlon and his family, and would call William a variety of racial slurs. He even went as far as to kill all of William's chickens and to draw a Swastika on his property. Sheriff Sullivan supported William's perspective and brought Butch into the police station to suggest that he pay $200 for the worth of the chickens because that way William wouldn't press charges. Butch laughed and said that no jury would find him guilty for what he did. Sullivan agreed but pointed out that he would be found guilty of a harm crime because of the Swastika. Butch realized he was right and sold his prized Mercury to pay William, an action that made him hate the man even more. Butch's war against William only stopped when William pointed a rifle at him and threatened him.

After a violent rock fight in late July, Henry's sanity slowly deteriorates, not only from It's influence, but also his father's as well. In late August, Henry was killed by his son, who slashed his throat while he was sleeping with a switchblade provided by It. Upon returning to home from the sewers, Henry was eventually convicted for Butch's murder as well as the killings that occured throughout the summer and had been arrested by the police, who had been waiting for him.
