Mike Henlon (Horror Reboots)

Mike Hanlon is one of the main characters of the It horror reboot. He is one of the Losers' Club members.

1988
Mike Hanlon is the most hated child in Derry by Henry Bowers, who developed this hatred by paralleling his father's hatred of his father, William. Henry terrorizes Mike when he gets a chance and he poisoned and killed Mike's dog, Mr. Chips, by lacing his meat with insect poison. While checking out the remains of the Kitchener Ironworks, Mike encounters It in the form of his burned alive, dead family members but hides in a smokestack and survives.

Mike is the last to join the Losers' Club, bringing them to lucky number 7. While being chased by Henry and his friends, Mike is eventually trapped in a gravel pit. He tries to hold off Henry, but the bully throws a firecracker at him. The Losers' Club comes to his rescue in what comes to a violent rockfight. The Losers beat Henry's gang and Mike becomes a member of their group.

Mike brings his father's photograph album to the Barrens to show his new friends that It shows up in many of the antique pictures, proving that It had been part of Derry for a long time. When the Losers use their clubhouse to try an old Indian ritual to get a vision, it is Mike and Richie Tozier that see It landing on Earth from beyond space in time ago. Mike recognizes mooseblowers when the Losers go to Neibolt Street with the silver slugs. This is a sign that It is also afraid of them.

2019
Mike is the only one of the Losers to stay behind in Derry and becomes the town librarian. He recalled the rest when the killings begin again in 2019 and his father kept an album filled with photos that were important to Derry's history, including several of It. Through the knowledge he acquires of Derry and It, he becomes an amateur historian of the town. He is seriously wounded by Henry Bowers and nearly dies. He is not part of the finale battle against It because of his injuries and is also murdered by a nurse who was under It's control. He later recovers from his wounds, but, like the others, start to lose his memory of the experience.
