Mike Hanlon

Mike Hanlon is the only African-American member of The Losers Club in Stephen King's IT, and the last member to join. He befriends the Losers after they protect him from Henry Bowers, who hates and regularly torments Mike because of his skin color. After their first confrontation with IT, he stays behind in Derry and lives modestly while the others all move away and become remarkably successful. When the child murders start up again, Mike calls all of the others to tell them that IT has returned.

Meanwhile, Henry escapes from the local mental asylum with IT's help and gravely wounds Mike with a knife. He is unable to take part in the final battle, but survives his injuries.
