The Power of Friendship: An actual magical force in this universe, which allows them to channel magic and defeat IT by combining the strength of their imagination.N-Word Privileges: The Losers can each rag on each other knowing that it's only jokes and not being hurtful when it's coming from a fellow Loser.They need to recapture their childhood to defeat IT as adults, which might not be possible if they have children of their own. It's implied this is due to the Turtle/Other's meddling. Law of Inverse Fertility: By age 38, none of the Losers have children, despite some of them desperately wanting them.Laser-Guided Amnesia: Type 3: Something (implied to be the Other) makes them forget about each other and their childhoods after they leave Derry, with only Mike remembering because he never left.
Heroes Want Redheads: Yes, all of them want and have sex with Beverly.Bill stutters, Ben is overweight, Richie has glasses, Eddie has asthma, Stan is Jewish, Mike is black and Beverly is poor (she's also the only girl).
However, as time goes on, they adopt a much more serious and secretive objective that no adult can be entrusted with: learning the true nature of the monster preying on Derry and killing it once and for all. Children's Covert Coterie: Losers Club starts off as a coalition of like-minded outcasts getting together to escape the various miseries of life in Derry, most prominently bullying by Henry Bowers and his clique.Blood Brothers: All seven of them made a blood pact to return to Derry and finish the job in the event that IT ever comes back.But at the same time, all of them feel somewhat unsettled about their lives essentially being hijacked, and downright traumatized by the psychological damage that the conflict with IT creates. This leads to them being able to do things from the uncharacteristic (Eddie standing up to his mother for the first time) to the supernatural (the Adult losers sending Mike power to fight off Mark Lamonica in the hospital to the impossible (Bill reviving Audra from her catatonic state through a bike ride). Blessed with Suck: Over the course of the story, it becomes apparent to all the Losers that some outside force is guiding events leading to their confrontation with It.Badass Normal: They're only normal humans, but managed to take out an interdimensional Eldritch Abomination with little more than The Power of Friendship.He also remembered enough about what he'd face if he returned to Derry to kill himself. It's clear he knew Bill Denbrough, the writer, as his childhood friend. Even Mike is missing the summer of 1958 from some time before IT's defeat until school lets back in in September.It's only when It resurfaces in 1985 that the memories come back, albeit slowly. Amnesiac Heroes: All of them, sans Mike, forgot virtually everything about each other and their battle with It when they grew up.Richie, Mike, and Stan's respective parents largely avert this. Abusive Parents: Bill's parents ignore him after his brother dies, Eddie's mother is extremely overprotective, Beverly's father beats her regularly, and Ben's mother is part of the reason he's so overweight.
